What a cozy, cool cafe. My girlfriends and I grab breakfast and lunch here often. Fabulous food! Flaky crusted daily quiche packed with flavor at a very good price of $10 fans it is enough fir 2 people). freshly made avocado toast. Best ever chicken salad ( pecans,!). Delectable crepes ( savory and sweet), muffins, sugar cookies. You name it. Lots of table seating. Bar stools. Outdoor seating in ice weather. Large selection of teas and coffees. May vegetarian and gluten free options. Cool gifts and mugs.

I found Sweet Benefits online and ordered mini cupcakes for a combo 60th and 30th birthday celebration. We have gluten free and vegan guests. I ordered confetti, chocolate mint, and lemon poppy and they were all beyond delicious! A huge hit with our guests and us, will definitely order again. Katrina was so easy to work with - ordered online, confirmed by email, picked up right in town. Highly recommend!!

Gorgeous and tasty Korean, French and fusion pastries. While the hot dog in squid ink bread may not be to everyone's taste, I defy you to not like their pain au chocolat. I'm particularly fond of the chocolate bread (with and without chocolate ganache), the rice flour donuts (especially sesame) and the berry and cream tarts. The coffee is good and there are comfortable seats for hanging out and chatting. Long open hours, too. There are two small meeting rooms, I think you need to ask to use them, but posted policies have changed frequently. There are also interesting teas, vinegar drinks, bing soo and some other treats. The staff is friendly and used to dealing with Anglos, although the clientele is mostly Korean. The service is always impeccable. When you go in, get a tray covered with paper and a set of tongs. Pick it what you want and use the tongs to put the items on your tray. There are often bowls of bite sized samples, get those with your tongs, too. This is a great way to try items you haven't seen before. Take the tray to the counter order your drinks and tell them if it is to go or to eat there. If the latter, you'll keep the tray to eat off and turn it in at the counter later. Pay and enjoy your bounty. It is a bit difficult to spot the first time, as it is at the end of a strip mall. Use the Boston Market as your turn marker. This is a great place to hang out. I'm grateful I don't live closer, as I'd gain too much weight. The prices are very reasonable, too. All the pastries have their ingredients listed and there are pastries made with rice flour and no gluten.

Good bakery. Good produce. Sometimes difficult to find gluten-free and vegan specialty products. In store Starbucks. Prices are less expensive than some neighboring grocers, but more expensive than others. Clean store, helpful staff.

Gluten-free options include Japanese rice cake, basque cheesecake, and macarons! They also serve tea drinks.
