    Bring your Sunday newspaper and hang out with the Hyde Park locals or simply stop in when the sugar craving arrives. Don't leave without trying at least one of their amazing baked goods. Read more

    Delicious pastries, but the Salty Oat Cookie might be my favorite. The staff is fun and eclectic and you can always count on an interesting sampling of music while hanging out or studying.

    There’s good stuff no doubt, but this feels overhyped. PB cookie was a no go, the vanilla cake is bomb....only cuz of the frosting not the cake bit alone. Idk man

    The carrot cake is fantastic, so are the plain butter croissants in the case. Everything tastes as good if not better than it looks. Oh, and the chocolate pie is to die for.

    You must try the cupcakes. Their morning pastries are all delicious too, as all are made fresh, in house daily ! They also offer a discount for using a Go local card

    Excellent vegan selection. Vegan cupcakes aren't the best (Happy Vegan Bakery at farmers markets) but still good.

    Pecan pie is alright. Key Lime is pretty awesome. 2 for 1 baked goods in the evening is always a great treat while studying.

    Say yes to the turnover. And they have specials -- look at the time, and sometimes you can get 2 for 1 on certain baked goods.

    Always check for the day old muffins before ordering fresh ones. They're still uber-fresh and moist, and you get three for the price of one.
