This post is a bit bittersweet for me to write…this is the last place I ate at before totaling my beautiful three week old 328i. In fact, as I was uploading photos I caught a glimpse of my old car in the reflection of the windows surrounding the shop. I thought this place was really cool though, so I had been meaning to blog about it as I was recovering from my accident, but I think its good I waited until I was feeling better.
So this shop took over the old Starbucks spot on Copper Hill a few months ago, and I got the heads up from my homeboy John Lesko of All Spice Cafe. It is run by a local young guy that is really into baking and chocolates and you can tell all the guys working here love what they do.
The pastry cases are filled with pastries (sweet and savory) and everything is made by them. I thought the tarts looked beautiful! I can’t wait to go back and try one.
On that day I had a slice of coffee cake.
They also have cupcakes. I really need to go back and see what else is new in the cases.
For those of you that love chocolate, they make their own truffles!
The owner let me try this truffle they had come up with earlier as they experimented in the kitchen.
They have seating and wifi and TVs and it is just a nice locally owned business.
They also make coffee using Jones Coffee Roasters out of Pasadena, and they have their own roast.
I didn’t try enough stuff, but I will make it a point to go back soon.

I tried this place based on your review and I am so, so excited. I work down the street and am always looking for a new lunch spot. I can’t get over how reasonably priced it is. When I went back the second time I waited nearly 25 minutes for a sandwich, but I’m chalking that up to growing pains. Hope they get it together because I’d eat here pretty regularly. Their capresse sandwich is fantastic.
