Upper Crust Bakery

Upper Crust is one of my favorite places in town. I've been coming here for years for baked goods and soup, and everything they make is delicious. I'm writing a review now because I wanted to give them a shoutout for the amazing cake they made for my daughter's "Where the Wild Things Are" birthday party! I didn't have a very specific vision; I just sent the decorators some screenshots of pages from the book and told them to make whatever they thought would look good. They delivered! Not only was it gorgeous, it was absolutely delicious. A big thank you to whichever members of the Upper Crust team made and decorated this awesome cake!

What an awesome bakery! There was so much I wanted to try but this was just a quick stop before farmers market and then lunch reservations a few hours later. The pumpkin spice latte I had was excellent. Very fast service. The fresh butter croissant was also delicious. At 9am on a Saturday it was busy but not crowded. The display case was packed with so many delicious looking baked treats and a lot of great lunch / brunch items. We actually did go back that same afternoon! I had a chocolate chip cookie and cherry mini cheesecake—both amazing. They sell local artists work in the sitting area, very delightful place.

As someone visiting from out of town who was wanting to try some cute pastries, I would have really appreciated some signage in the cafe to help us figure out what the ordering process is like. We were browsing the pastry case waiting for our turn to order when someone from the counter/register said she would help us. But when we got over to her, she was extremely confused that we didn’t have pastries yet for her to ring up, and then she told us we had to go back to the end of the line to order the pastries. Overall it was a confusing process that could have been alleviated by some directions signs or employees who know/can explain the process for new people. The macarons were good, other pastries ok. The “mocha freeze” tasted only like coffee and not like a mocha. Overall the food was decent, but nothing to write home about.

Best bakery and sandwich place! I took off a star because I wanted a latte with my meal and was told that they don't do specialty drinks during their busy time. They seemed to have a hard time making decaf coffee during their busy time also. Food is great, but other places can do both, wonder why it's an issue for them. Just a heads up if you are in for lunch and want a special drink.

The good... the food is good. A local favorite. I like the art for sale on the walls. The bad... I feel like it has gone downhill over the last five years. The service folks were all over the place and a bit on the snappy side. The hours are limited and the baked goods are over priced. The ugly..16.99 for 6 Easter cookies!
