Feel Good Bakery: Reviews & Ratings
I had no intentions of eating any cakes, pies, or cookies today, I promise. But upon entry going into the marketplace to get a salad, this is what welcomed me. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie for $2.50. Delicious. It was so good after I consumed the first cookie. I went back and bought another cookie. Will I return.... Absolutely.
Their breadsticks are to die for. I especially like the cheddar jalapeño ones. They change daily so check before you go. The staff is always friendly. This locations hours are not great. Only open in the early morning. Their location at the marketplace I think is much better. More vibrant and bustling. Overall I really enjoy their breads, pasties and cakes.
I'm not sure why this bakery is at 3.7 stars. I arrived a little after 8 in a small quaint parking lot with other businesses around. The inside is small, not somewhere for you to sit and stay but the service was amazing. The selections of pastries, sweets, and breads could go on for days, but they sell out extremely quickly. By the time I arrived some of the pastries were sold out and almost all the bread was too. I paid $11 for a large vanilla latte and a ham and cheese croissant..which was the best croissant I have ever had, they even have specials for Valentine's Day! Definitely a place I will frequent often and early!
The person named Fernanda was very helpful while seeing what I want and was very kind.
The bread loaf all very good. We tried some pastries, the almond croissant very nice. The place is nice but look unorganized
I love to come here for the 100% whole rustic loaf for a hearty bread for our family dinners. Also a big fan of their version of a morning bun. Today I came for the Rustic Loaf but was also intrigued by the Special Kouign Amann with a Thai Tea cream inside ( I might have missed some other flavor). OH MY!!!! +1 for a decent, flaky and heart dough and +10 for the inventive, delightful and perfectly but not too sweet Thai Tea cream filling!!!! I AM A HUGE fan of this and will have to work to avoid coming back too frequently on my neighborhood walks to get this more often while they have it! Kudos Feel Good!!! So delicious and new! (I ate it too voraciously to take a pic first ha!)
Really solid local bakery. I often take my dog for walks and pick up some bread for the weekend from Feel Good. Selection is good and they'll slice the bread for you or share it whole. They also carry a variety of pastries and deserts. Personal favorite is the chocolate croissant. Right now due to COVID they're limiting the number of people inside to one patron at a time.
