  I've now visited this GCB a number of times now and more for the bakery than for the cafe.
  
  I love having a good bakery in the neighborhood, a place where I can run in and grab a roll, baguette, or whole grain loaf of something on the fly. Every time I pick something up it's fresh and tasty!
  
  For the cafe, I've visited a handful of times, typically for brunch. I grab a breakfast sandwich and she tries one of the many coffee options. The sandwiches are great and the build your own allows to make just the one you want.
  
  It's typically busy but rarely more than a 5min wait. Once the food is ordered our names are called within another 5min. Everyone here is super friendly and more than happy to help. One area they could improve is to have the busser wiping down the tables.

  Normally, I only have fantastic comments to say about this place. I come here twice a week for the fabulous sandwiches, coffee and pastries and today I was recommended the "Bacon Egg Croissant" for $8.50. I was pretty excited to try it out as it is one of their top choices on the breakfast sandwich menu. I was truly disappointed to see that what I paid $8.50 for was 2 pieces of crispy bacon, a tiny over easy egg, and a giant croissant with no other ingredients. I understand that some like simple sandwiches but $8.50 for something like this is unacceptable. Truly disappointed and will not be ordering from the breakfast menu again.
  
  Additionally, to give some reference, the same croissant used in this sandwich to buy separately is $3.00 and an actual deliciously made gourmet sandwich is $10.

  It's a very good bakery. You can find many delicious treats and everything you can see has been baked on site. This location doesn't really have a lot of parking available, so the locals really luck out by being within walking distance. I tried the tomato soup and it was really nice. They also have a really great breakfast menu. Give it a shot.

  2nd time here ordering an americano. They seem to pride themselves on how long it takes to serve you.
  As if the longer it takes the higher the quality or something?  They definitely discern themselves from Starbucks as far as speed of service.  They seem to have plenty of people available to help but don't know how to flex to customer demands. Anyway, 2 stars because the quality is good, but high prices and not worth the wait.

  I just came here this afternoon to order a 12oz mocha with coconut milk. The service was quick (no more than a minute), which now that I think about it will explain why I am NOT coming back here for coffee ever again, let alone the desserts.
  
  Service: Terrible; the waiter (who also took my order) did not smile when I came up, was unfriendly and looked as if she did not want to be there (I get that you may not be in the best mood).
  
  Tasteless coffee: My mocha tasted as if someone had heated coconut milk with water and served it to me. There was no hint of coffee or chocolate (as a mocha should), tasted watered down too. I almost went back to return it but it was also lunch time and I think I've been here enough to make my final review that this place does not serve good coffee at all.  This may come off rather scathing, however this is the truth. I have yet to meet someone to tell me how (at the very least) "good" their coffee is.
