My co worker told me about this restaurant/ bakery & I had to try it out for myself. I placed a carry-out order and ordered the spinach-wrapped tortilla tuna sandwich. About 10 minutes later I arrived and told them I was here for pickup but they had trouble finding my order but within a few minutes it was ready. As I opened the container I was surprised to see they added chips and a pickle which was nice! ** side note I brought the avocado so that is not included. ** it was very filling and savory, even had the juice dripping out of the tortilla. Overall I would reorder this meal again if I forget to bring lunch from home

Since Stella's was closed on Labor Day, we stopped by Passion Bakery Cafe to pick up a few pastries including 4 Napoleon's and 2 Tiramisu's. They have two types of Napoleon - Regular and Fruit. The Napoleons consisted of layers of thick pastry cream in between layers of phyllo dough. It wasn't as crispy and flaky as the one at Stella's but the flavor was on point. The Tiramisu was more cakier than expected. Before leaving the cafe, I got an Iced Chai Latte.

Cute little cafe with some nice desserts and drinks. It's located a little awkwardly, right underneath what looks to be a office/corporate building? Also, when we were there in the afternoon, there was no music playing, so the atmosphere was a little weird and awkward. But other than that, their coffee was fine, and the tiramisu and fruit tart were pretty tasty!

I've been to this cafe about 3 times now, it's affordable with enjoyable bakery options and coffee. I liked their tiramisu cake, it was very moist, spongy, and flavorful. Their mix fruit cheese tart was delicious and the fruits tasted fresh. I like both their iced caramel macchiato and iced vanilla latte. It's a nice scenic environment and comfortable place to hang out with friends because there's lots of seating available. Also, there's free parking in the garage next to Passion Bakery.

Very solid bakery/cafe. It's right next door to where I work so I finally decided to try it this past week for my birthday. My supervisor bought me a Kahlua chocolate cheesecake and it was amazing. I would happily order it every week it was that good. I also ordered a bread pudding and a carrot cake to take home and share with my girlfriend. The carrot cake was good and had a good ratio of cake to icing. The bread pudding definitely is something you warm up to enjoy because it's not as good cold. The service was friendly and quick. It's a place where you order at the counter and then pick it up at the counter. That being said, there are plenty of tables to sit at inside. You can definitely bring your computer and work here if you work remote. It would be a nice little day spot.

Stopped here on a whim and glad I did! Pros -Such a cute little coffee shop with pastries -Space was clean, quiet, and spacious with plenty of seats inside -Pastries were fairly priced -Has breakfast sandwiches', light lunch menu, and tons of beverages served in a regular coffee house. i.e. lattes, coffees etc. -The pastries and desserts looked amazing in the glass display. I really wanted to try one of everything. They had Napoleon, a large cream puff with the filling spilling out of it and topped with a strawberry, various flavors of cupcakes, oreo cheesecake, fruit tarts, Cons -Parking garage is in the back and street spots available if not busy -The person who helped me wasn't overly friendly. She did have answers to some of the questions I had. However, one particular desert caught my eye, they called it a Palmier which looked like an elephant ear pastry. I asked if it was the same and she didn't know. So I asked, what was it exactly, and she struggled with the answer. I asked if had sugar and syrup on it and she said yes.. now researching a Palmier I don't think it has syrup. I'm hoping the service was just off for that one day. Other than that I had a wonderful experience and will return again!

I've passed by other Passion Bakery Cafe locations previously, but never had the chance to stop in. I was glad to see one recently opened up by me, so stopped by for a latte and to check out their pastries. There's a good amount of seating inside and outside, with the outside tables having umbrellas and are shared with other nearby restaurants (although I'm not too sure how many are open right now). My vanilla latte was good. Not too strong or sweet. All their pastries looked so good! They had a variety of croissants (butter, chocolate, almond, ham/cheese, spinach/cheese), danishes, scones, turnovers, cupcakes, cakes, fruit tarts, cream puffs, etc. I decided on the ham and cheese croissant. It was huge! The croissant itself was buttery, flaky, and soft. The ham and cheese was good, just wish there was more of it. The ratio of croissant to filling was definitely not proportional. Nonetheless, I did enjoy it. I definitely plan to come back to Passion Bakery Cafe for more pastries. I've also heard good things about their cakes, so may give one a try for an upcoming birthday.
