The bread tasted soft and delicious we Definitely coming back when we crave some bread

We have been going to this bakery, Essence, for more than a year and we have really enjoyed our visits. However, these past few Saturdays we were struck by the presence of a sanctioned political campaign collecting signatures at a table inside the bakery, at the front door. It’s not important the nature of the campaign, it was the presence of the solicitation at a quaint bakery where we hoped to enjoy good food and ambience. This was both distracting and upsetting. We will not be returning.

They advertise all kinds of baked treats on the website but all they actually have is bread and macarons. The macarons were good but not what I wanted. Service was incredibly slow!!

Tried you guys for the 1st time and I've got to say it was delicious! I look forward to trying more of their menu and taking my family. Also the girls in the front were really welcoming and attentive. Awesome service and exquisite pastries! ? highly recommended!
