The people working here could not be any nicer but our first experience here was a rough start. we love the Rochester location and heard they set up a roaster with a coffee shop attached. I believe this is their headquarters where they roast their coffee and make their baked goods. When you come in you see the register and baked good case and a few spots to sit and then there is a larger area to sit down a small incline in the flooring. They have an interesting open seating area with art on the walls. They also see some merch here. There seems to be a classroom and some restrooms off to the side.
The menu is fairly simple. They seem to offer less than the Rochester location and had less cheesecakes or baked good than the other location. When we arrived it was not incredibly busy and the people helping us were very nice. They gave us our card and told us they would bring us our drinks. We waited for nearly half an hour while others came and went and got their drinks and treats. Finally we asked and they admitted they forgot about us. They were very gracious and very apologetic and then brought us some drinks and cheesecake.
I love their cheesecake. It is very good and less than $6 a slice. While it is no Cheesecake Factory, you are going to get a nice slice for a lot less. If you like cheesecake I highly recommend trying their cake. As far as the coffee does, they are always very aesthetic and nice to look at, but their mochas were not very strong and did not taste like there was any chocolate in it, and their hot cocoa also did not have a strong chocolate flavor, it was very faint. I like their coffee, it is smooth, but I would have liked it a bit stronger, hotter, and more flavoring (chocolate which I am not sure was even in there, it tasted like a plain latte).
I would not give up on this location. It is newer and we like to support local. This location is located in the subdivisions of Ferndale and not downtown, so I am not sure how often we would make it over here, but we will visit a Dessert Oasis location again soon.
