Ok so I know not everyone goes to a pastry shop just for the service, but when you have both DE-LI-CIOUS cookies and warm-fuzzy service, why even go anywhere else?
The Peanut Butter Cookie was that perfect balance between chewy, crunchy, salty, and ever so slightly sweet. The Cookie Monster cookie, while it wasn't my thing, my husband clearly loved it because he gobbled it up before we even got home. In fact, we've only been driving for 4 minutes from there and it's gone-gone.
And based on recommendations, we got the Ginger Snap cookie, Chocolate Chip cookie, and the Cinnamon Roll donut. Haven't tried those yet but they look amazing and I'm actually tempted to bulimic this PB Cookie just so I have enough room to try them. Anyway...
But what will stay in my mind is the incredibly sweet girls at the counter. They were super engaging and patient and, I don't want to sound like THAT old lady (37yrs btw so feeling old but not old-old) but I really feel like customer service has been lacking. I'm not of the mindset that this new generation is lazy and entitled. Nor do I believe necessarily that it's "how they're raised" because, well, that would put it on me and my generation. I just think they've been through some really shitty things in the past few years, and putting all that responsibility on them is unfair.
Clearly my ADHD has gotten me off topic BUT these really adorable girls took their jobs seriously and went well above and beyond. I would be proud to have them in my restaurant so I hope Bakehouse 46 shows their appreciation daily because other establishments are definitely going to try and poach them. Remember, YOU'RE lucky to have them.
