“This was a very quaint little bakery.”

This was a very quaint little bakery. The lady at the counter was super nice and welcoming. They do only a few things BUT THEY DO THEM WELL. The Puff Puff - were just the right amount of sweet and pillowy. The beef pie with potatoes - so good and comforting. The molasses cookies - full of flavor and spice. The hibiscus juice - they make in-house and it was super refreshing. (No seating, so we walked to oromo cafe to eat our pastries and have a coffee) Super affordable. Highly recommend.

“Stumbled across this place on a walk and ended up coming back a second time in the same day.”

Stumbled across this place on a walk and ended up coming back a second time in the same day! After trying the soft/chewy puff puffs (with a chocolate drizzle) that have a similar texture to mochi donuts and the massive cinnamon roll with a heaping serving of icing, I had to come back for the savory pastries which were also top notch! The only thing that was not served was coffee so we ended up taking the goodies down the street. Looking forward to going back for a loaf of Agege bread and another serving of... Everything.

“This place is just stupid.”

This place is just stupid. The owner is just stupid nice. The food is just stupid good. The service is just so stupid amazing. It's really hard not to just fall in love with this place minutes after entering. Nigerian immigrant owned, community oriented. There's just little not to live. Only complaint I have is their prices are too low.

A great neighborhood bakery where I can always count on a fresh loaf of brioche bread, cinnamon rolls (get them when they first open when they're still warm and the icing is partially melted), fried donut balls (great for kids), and a chicken meat pie that's a little spicy for lunch on the run.
