My wife and I have been driving past this establishment since it opened. We seen the long lines and wondered how good the pastries must be. So, we decided when she had a week off from teaching school we would go check it out.What a disappointment.There weren’t many customers in the store when we went, yet the first dozen or so display cases were empty. Those display cases also were not marked with the names of the products or price, which is beyond annoying. You’re basically guessing at what you’re getting and how much you’re going to pay.The only thing that was available for sale in cases were cookies. So, we chose a chocolate chip cookie, I think, again cases not marked so who knows what it was, I’m guessing.As we put the cookie on our tray, they finally came out from the back with a tray of pastries. It was some type of breading with cream. We snatched one up quickly as other customers noticed what had come out and were making their way towards it.We finally got in line with only two items. My wife saw they had a chocolate mousse cake in the display case by the register. By the way, these are the only items that are labeled and priced. By the time it was our turn to pay, the cakes were gone. We opted for a chocolate hazelnut cake.When we finally got to the register the lady asked where our tongues were that we used to pick our pastries. We said we put them over in the area where they had the tongues hanging just before the line began. This is where the cashier copped an attitude, stating we are suppose to bring those up whenever we come to make our purchases.How are we suppose to know? This is our first time here, and I didn’t see any sign stating this. The only sign about the tongues is telling the customers to use them to pick the pastries.Either way we paid, and left. It was cheap. We got home tried out the cookie, the pastry, and the cake. The cake was dry and had no real taste. The cookie was rock hard. And the pastry was only mildly edible.All and all I say don’t bother. Their selection is limited. Food is mediocre. And customer service needs improvement.
