Total treasure hiding in plain sight on the main road through tiny Ghent. Even open 7 days in winter (daily 8-2). Destination-worthy. Housemade pastries are the main feature and are divine (pistachio croissant! maple pecan doughnut!). There is a savory breakfast-lunch menu also, and based on our only sampling, the “farmhouse” b’fast sandwich (awesome, on a game-changing English muffin), it should all be tried and be great. Super friendly staff, proper coffee from SF-based Sightglass, plenty of seating. Can’t wait to return.
The food has never disappointed (they poach a perfect egg for their eggs Benedict, and I’m particular about that). Their baked goods are amazing. There can be a wait for coffee drinks as there is only room for one barista, but they do a good job. Sometimes the clientele skews rude weekend folks, but overall, it’s a nice place to go.
I always get the classic breakfast sandwich with bacon and avocado. It's always amazing. Plus there cookies, donuts, and other baked sweets are top notch.
From the design to the baked goods and the flowers on your way in... this place is a dream!!! We stop anytime we are in the area! My favorite is the farmers breakfast sandwich and howls owl milkshake! If there were 100 star, I'd give it that many!
I planned a quick stop here before heading to Art Omi for a solo adventure. There have been so many great reviews that I was excited to check the place out for myself. Customer service was excellent - friendly and helpful staff. The building itself is beautiful! There is inside dining as well as outdoor seating on the deck, which looks out over the flowers in bloom. You can feel the history of this place in the best way possible. On this day, it was just a quick grab and go for me, but I look forward to coming back and time to enjoy a meal. I had to try the hashbrown, which was served with both a homemade ketchup and a homemade aioli. I had never tried aioli with a hashbrown before - and it was delicious! Chai tea was perfectly made as well. I brought the pastries home for a later treat, and they were excellent as well. I will make sure to stop here again this summer.
