I had been craving biscuits and I did a search on Yelp and saw their biscuits were highly recommended. I can truly understand why they were amazing. Also the Apple danish was phenomenal. Highly recommend.

Blink and you will miss it. Looks more like a production office from the outside than the sophisticated market, bakery, restaurant and shop that it is. When you walk in, there is a very curated market with gifts. But I was here for lunch. I had the tuna sandwich. It's a sleek, compact little sandwich. At first, I was concerned about the amount of tuna that was in it. But it was amazing and the proportions really worked. All of the cookies look like they are made with white sugar. They just have that look and I didn't want any of them. I ordered the brownie. It was very cakey and not fudgy enough for me. They probably use too much flour not enough chocolate. The woman who helped me was not sweet. All in all, it's a great little shop and I would definitely go back for a sandwich and some gifts. I do think their bakery could use some reworking.

Really good sandwich. Great bread. Ingredients tasted farm fresh. Slightly messy to eat but that's why they invented napkins. Cute place, too. Service was great. Really nice and helpful. The baked goods looked tasty and I'd definitely return to give them a try. Overall, great spot for lunch to go.

Honestly, one of my favorite spots in Burbank. The baked goods are amazing, and the seasonal sandwiches are great--everything is very reasonably priced. The baked goods sell out fast on weekends, so getting there early is a good idea. The selection rotates often, but the mile-high biscuits are a must. Beyond the food, they have a great assortment of cute gifts, cards, cookbooks, and more, making it a fun place to browse. The store itself is super charming, but I do wish they had some outdoor seating.

Every time I come here I love it more and more! 1/2 off baked goods from 2pm-3pm There is always something good to eat, drink, and fun gifts to buy! Still wish they could add some seating, somewhere outside maybe?

Delicious farro salad and desserts! I originally was going to get a sandwich but once I read the description of the Farro salad, the flavors sounded perfect for a light, yet satisfying lunch. The greens were fresh and gave a nice bite. The lemon dressing was bright and tasty, and the harissa flavored farro with garbanzo beans tasted great together. The browned butter walnut cake with espresso maple glaze was SOOO good! Dense, moist, perfect texture, almost like a banana bread. Delicious to have some bites after lunch. Good portion that I was able to split with someone too! Such a cute lunch spot with lots of things to "window shop"! Cute, unique cards, cookbooks, seasonal themed tea towels, you name it. Would go again!

Oh my YUM! There are certain places I eat at and right away, I'm like I gotta write a review here because it's just so good! This is one of those spots. The place is cute and the pastries are homemade. I had the orange zested and cardamom cookie and with that first bite, I was in LOVE! The service was great and I'm already looking forward to coming back here tomorrow. The only thing is, they don't have dine in services.

Incredible ingredients. Nice, helpful employees. Delicious sandwiches. I had the summertime panini (it was called spring something) and had mozzarella and turkey then panini grilled. I also had one of their crazy organic local artisanal nectarines and a coco nut lime cookie Everything was delicious and well prepared. They have a lovely little gift shop vibe and have a beautifully curated selections of food, snacks, drinks and little cards and gifts. It's a lovely little place and both ones I've been here, I've thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambiance.

Beautiful takeout/cafe boutique which DELICIOUS food! I love Yelp for helping me find places like this that I would otherwise have no idea existed. I will definitely be back many, many times and will message all my Burbank friends to let them know this gorgeous place exists! The biscuits ARE as good as they look which says a lot cuz they look GOOD. Pretty sure it's the best biscuit I've ever had! Perfectly crispy outside and soft buttery inside. I also had the spinach fontina(?) quiche and it was also delicious. Whoever is baking here KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. The salmon toast was beautiful and delicious! Not nearly as much salmon as other pictures I saw here but it was pretty balanced and tasted great - I'll definitely be back for this! I also got the Little Nelly salad which was picture perfect and priced well at $12. The prices may be a little higher for certain items but justifiable to me because they are clearly using high quality ingredients from the jam to the eggs. The tip choices are set to a minimum of 15% (unless you use the custom button) which does feel high for a takeout-only place. The food is SO delicious and the entire store is so charming and exceptionally well curated. I will definitely be back to try every pescatarian friendly item on the menu (which is a lot)!
