The Sweet Retreat Bakery Llc

I am reluctant to review this local business because I did not have a good experience and I want to support local business. We were excited to have found this bakery especially so when we heard there was a lunch menu. The first red flag was that there were no sandwiches except for an hours old breakfast sandwich. The lunch for the day was a “taco bar” in a bakery?? That was the second red flag. We should have turned around but the raspberry turnovers were enticing. The menu board was out of date seasonal beverages that were not available were still listed. It was slightly after 12 when we arrived and it was empty and continued to be so. We were told that the taco bar was “all you can eat” to explain the cost $13.50) the soft tortillas were cold as were much of the “toppings. There were only 2 soft tortillas and never replenished and the sole server was nowhere in sight. The taco was tasteless.Drink options were limited to old coffee, bottled tea or water and a soda I think.Here is my advice: forget the taco bar. Create a sandwich of the day with some great bread. Maybe a kettle of soup in the winter?After the morning rush if there is one), make coffee on demand when the next person asks for it. I would wait for a fresh pot!Not sure what is keeping this place open students maybe? But the semester had just ended…)Maybe shorten the hours when the students leave and just take “orders” for bakery items for the holidays add Christmas cookies to the roster!I would like this place to succeed as the turnovers were delicious which is why I gave 3 stars instead of none.If something extra is needed, why not host an english tea once a month? There is the table space for it and would be a hit!I am rooting for you! I will be back for more turnovers.

When asked what ingredients were in their donuts, the employee said she didn't know, as the donuts were shipped in from elsewhere.As someone with food allergies, I understand that not every location will cater to my needs, but the fact that they don't even know what's in their own product really irks me.

Visited today and I have to take a moment to say. WOW! Very clean, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Along with the most friendly staff. Its not often you find someone who greets every guess as if their her favorite customer. I didnt caught your name. But your doing an awesome job keep up the good work we could use more employees like you.

Excellent selection of baked goods here,muffins,scones and melt in your mouth sticky buns. Coffee to go along with your goodies,and the prices are very reasonable . My grandkids enjoyed the fruity pebble donuts I carried home on my bike,so what are you waiting for,Go There !!

Awesome place for a quick lunch and the baked goods are soooo good! You have to try the pumpkin cupcake w/cinnamon frosting and the new french fry cookies!
