My thoughts:

I was in a pinch for time and was in dire need of some food in my system. Not wanting Tim Horton's food (I try as much as possible to avoid places that are ubiquitous/chains), I decided to give this little bakery with somewhat tacky signage a try.

I had a cheese pastry, which was basically a feta cheese filling wrapped in phyllo pastry. At $1.25, it wasn't bad, but it was the service that was somewhat lacking. When I entered the bakery, there were two female workers seated at a table, both looking bored. Neither of greeted me or seemed to fancy the idea of getting up and serving a customer. In fact, they pretty well ignored me, and for a few moments, I actually thought that they were customers. For a place that was completely deserted and where you could practically hear the sound of crickets, you would think they would jump at the opportunity to actually do some work. When I was ready to order, one worker finally got up to help me; she was pleasant, but it wasn't enough to make up for my initial thoughts of the lack of servicing. For a bakery, I suppose poor service isn't a deal breaker. I mean, at least they weren't rude. I won't be going out of my way to come here.

Here is a picture I took in my car. (As I said, I was pinched for time!)
