The strawberry shortcake was definitely good and so was the sticky bun. Unfortunately have to say that I really didn't find the fried chicken sandwich to live up to the hype. It was crunchy which I like but both the chicken and cole slaw that was served with it were bland; no flavor at all. Maybe mine was a bad batch. I'll give them another shot and hopefully won't be disappointed. We got there at 11:45 and there was already a line. The nice thing is they pass out free goodies while you're waiting.Though they skipped over our group near the front of the line for some reason - that's not cool!

Pros: Inexpensive, baked goods delish

Cons: Fried chicken sandwich was tasteless

their buttermilk fried chick sandwich is insanely awesome. they make fresh pot-pies everyday and i'm in love with their ironing board tables on the sidewalk. Besides all of their food and bakery items that makes them awesome, their friendly staff takes the cake (pun unfortunately intended)

Pros: friendly staff, fried chicken sandwich, food, sidewalk "tables"

Cons: parking, small eating area

Great sandwiches! I like the egg salad better than the fried chicken. The roll that they put it on is so good I could eat it by itself. My family loves the scones, but I haven't tried them yet... I'm sure they're great. I ordered five sandwiches for work and was in and out of the store in less than 5 minutes. The sandwiches were boxed and ready to go before the credit card machine finished putting my transaction through. Really fun vibe with the ironing boards!

Great place for baked stuff. They were extremely helpful in picking what was good and nothing disappointed. Didn't hurt they were giving out fresh baked chocolate chip cookies as we waited in line. The fried chicken sandwich is worth the trip/

Pros: great staff

Cons: ok location

The staff is wonderful and thoughtful and the sandwiches are delicious. We asked if they had greens for a salad, and they did. It was perfect sitting on the corner out front using crates and buckets as table and chairs. Sip on some of their lemon ice.

Pros: Simple and delicious

Cons: none
