“We visited scenic route bakery for the first time this weekend and it was a great experience. When we walked in the door we were greeted by a man in a gold suit, who I presume was the owner. He was super friendly and helpful.”
“Wow! This place is so cute. I got a coffee, soup, and a sticky pecan roll for $11! The soup had a nice flavor and texture. I love garbanzos in soup. The coffee bar had cinnamon, I love it in my Americano.”
