Two Fat Cats Bakery

Bright, airy place with super-friendly staff and plenty of parking. The scallion cheese biscuits were scrumptious. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the blueberry pie crust -- it was heavy, thick and chewy. But overall, still a nice spot.

I ordered a cake for my partner's 50th birthday party. I gave them three weeks' notice and a written email with a vibe I was going for that included some design asks and multiple colors. I was told it would be no problem. I prepaid with a 20 percent tip. On the day of the party, I was wildly disappointed with the simplistic decorating. The person at the front offered to knock off the decorating fee, but no bakers were there to help make it look better. I was stunned and left with the cake, only to sit in my car in the parking lot, crying to my friend. When I got home, I called the bakery and the person who answered the phone was helpful and apologetic, but they couldn't do anything since I had already left with the cake. She asked me to email the bakery manager (whom I initially emailed about my cake request). She told me it was my problem since I left with the cake, she was sorry they didn't have the colors I asked for and there was nothing they could do. She was not helpful and seemed to not care about my experience, or how the cake looked, and said the issue should have been resolved when they gave me a discount, and I left with the cake. The cake was frozen and tasted dry, to the point, it was mentioned to me at the party, and it was incredibly disappointing to experience this from a local bakery, which many people love. Will not recommend to anyone or go back.

Great bakery. The mini blue/blackberry pie had a balanced sweet and tart flavor—nothing too out of the ordinary for the pie. (I wish the crust was more crumbly. I found mine was a bit gummy.) The scone was buttery and crumbly. The whoopie pie was *chef’s kiss* delicious; the cake was soft and pillowy, and the cream was light and not too sweet. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the whoopie pie and would return just for it the next time I’m in town!

Walked to this cute little bakery on a quick stop in Portland. We wanted to try a blueberry pie as well as a whoopie pie before we left Maine as that is what I kept reading Maine was known for. Also purchased a chocolate chip cookie. We sampled the cookie shortly after purchase and we all enjoyed it. Saved the other two until after dinner tonight. Imagine my complete surprise when I cut the pie and found an apple pie instead of blueberry. Was very clear to the gal that we wanted the blueberry one when we purchased. I had one bite and it was mostly heavy crust and not the light fluffy crust that should go with a pie. Terribly disappointed. The apples tasted as though out of a can, not freshly picked apples and overpowering cinnamon. Since I personally don’t like apple pie, my review is somewhat biased. As far as the whoopie pie, it was dry and lacked any robust flavors. The cream was dense and flavorless. I could have made this with a Betty Crocker cake mix and a buttercream frosting and had more appeal. I know, harsh. Overall, I gave it a 3 star because of the cookie. Unfortunately, I can’t give it a second chance as we were stopping on our way back to Boston and from Michigan. Hoping that the blueberry pie is better and others give this spot a chance. The pies looked delicious as did the scones.

Absolutely Amazing Bakery!! Great coffee and excellent baked goods from scratch. The Blueberry 🫐 Scone was the best my husband and I have ever had!!

Really love the variety of options here. Especially in the pies. They've got whole and minis. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie was DELICIOUS! I was actually not expecting this. The Only reason we even got this was because my brother wanted to try something with rhubarb. It was the Perfect balance of sweet and tart and just so good, we went to get more! Blueberry Pie was okay. I was expecting something really nice after reading their reviews online, but it was just so so. Very creative whoopie pie: Lemon Zucchini Cake with Blueberry filling. This was unexpectedly good. The filling kept coming out on the sides because it didn't stick on to the cake but still so good! Key Lime Pie was delicious too! Smooth pie and a nice crust. Good balance of sweet and tart.

We wished we had found this spot sooner!!! We found this spot on our last day in town, and i wish we had gone every day. With so many amazing choices and options we struggled to decide what to get. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They also had so much selection first thing in the morning. Pies, scones and breakfast biscuit sandwichs were all amazing. Definitely worth the visit. Thank you

I just had one of the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had! Thin layers of dough, each with cinnamon. Topped with tasty frosting, it is so good. I should have bought two... Back again and yes, I bought two of the cinnamon rolls. Also the apple, cranberry, scone with cinnamon frosting, that was quite good.

The crust on the bourbon pecan pie is to die for. The lemon square my wife loved. The whoopie pies were tiny & stale, however the filling was on point. The price of 2.25 each was not worthy. I can go to Mardens & get Labadie's bakery whoopie pies for far less and better & more substantial. However Two Fat Cats pies are incredible works of art. 3 different sizes to choose from. I will be back for a full pie or two in the future. I will become the Third Fat

Two Fat Cats was on my list of places to hit up during my first proper trip to Portland back in 2021. For one reason or another, I didn't make it back then - but made it a priority to visit during my recent trip to the city. I had heard nothing but good things, so we made plans to pick up some breakfast and pastries to go the morning we were heading back to NY. The bakery itself was larger than I expected - is almost wholesale-like with all of their kitchen operations visible from the front counter and high ceilings. It was a happy surprise to see parking along the side of the building, and they also had some seating towards the far end of the main pedestrian area. Pies are the main star of TFC's menu, which are all on display adjacent to where you order. We put those pies on the back burner and decided to order some breakfast carbs first - I got an egg and cheese biscuit sandwich and we split a blueberry scone, cinnamon roll, and cherry hand pie. The sandwich was pretty good - it had good flavor but I think the combination of being wrapped in foil and then placed in a warmer made the bread stick too much to the fillings and be a little too soft overall. The blueberry scone and cherry hand pie were good, and the cinnamon roll was excellent. We decided to pick up a pie for the road - we got the blueberry crumb because Maine and because we love blueberries. The pie was really good and super unique - the "crumb" was almost oatmeal or granola like in texture, and that continued into the crust. It made for a good texture contrast with the pie filling. It was unlike any other blueberry pie I've had and totally memorable. Service was good, and overall I'm a fan of Two Fat Cats. I wouldn't call it my favorite bakery in Portland, but they do serve up some of the best pie I've had in a while. It's definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

The food was pretty good however it was nothing out of this world. The blueberry pocket was good and so was the pumpkin Whoopie pie. It was not something that I would be thinking about for days after and hoping to come back one day. It was decent if you're looking to try some new flavors. I wish they sold the blueberry pie as individual slices rather than the blueberry pocket however, I think they must've ran out when I went. This place is a cute little shop right where I live and it was super nice to go to. The service was super Duper good they were very knowledgeable about all their items.

I'm giving this 5 stars JUST for the whoopie pies and I don't even like whoopie pies, but shen in Maine. I went to the bigger location on the outskirts of Portland so it wasn't as busy so it was quick service amd plenty of parking. And that whoopie pie was AMAZING.

Two Fat Cats Bakery is an absolute must-visit! We tried both the blueberry and triple berry pies, and they were phenomenal. The crust was light and flaky, while the fruit filling was perfectly tart without being overly sweet. Each bite was bursting with flavor! We also used the online ordering option, and everything was ready right on time for pick-up. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the entire experience even better. If you're a pie lover or just looking for delicious baked goods, you won't be disappointed with Two Fat Cats Bakery!

Delicious pastries. We picked up whoopie pies and a raspberry rhubarb pie today. They have moved from their original location since we were last in Portland, gone too long. If you're looking for wonderful pies, cakes and sweets, look no further.

Fat Cat has some of the best pies and desserts in town. I thoroughly enjoyed their Bumbleberry Pie (blueberries, apples, raspberries, and rhubarb). You can find their bars in a lot of local coffee shops/-their lemon and raspberry bars are definitely worth a try! I wish their interior, which is slightly cramped for how large of a space they have, would update its decor to make the space feel more homey. I find that it's catered towards offering takeout.

I love pie, so I was psyched to find this place. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast and were so pleased with what we got. My wife had a breakfast sandwich, which came on an amazing biscuit. She had nothing but good things to say about it. I got a cinnamon roll and a blueberry hand pie. Both were delicious, but the hand pie was the standout. The crust was perfectly butter and flaky, with a delicious sweet and tart blueberry filling. I wish I was in town longer because I'd absolutely come back and get a whole pie. We also enjoyed the atmosphere inside. The furniture and decor were eclectic in a great way. It wasn't too busy, so we had no problem getting a place to sit. I can't wait to come back here the next time I'm in town!

Really nice bakery with a nice selection of pies, cakes and pastries. Just drip coffee, which is tasty. Staff is very nice and helpful, and they move the line quickly. Prices are very reasonable. Try the cinnamon roll!

Friendly service, great staff, fabulous food, large selection. What more could you want?

Really love the variety of options here. Especially in the pies. They've got whole and minis. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie was DELICIOUS! I was actually not expecting this. The Only reason we even got this was because my brother wanted to try something with rhubarb. It was the Perfect balance of sweet and tart and just so good, we went to get more!

This was unexpectedly good. The filling kept coming out on the sides because it didn't stick on to the cake but still so good! Key Lime Pie was delicious too! Smooth pie and a nice crust. Good balance of sweet and tart.

On a day trip to Portland Maine, I had to try a Wild Maine Blueberry pie. Yelp led me to Two Cats Bakery a charming bakery in downtown Portland. I had a mini blueberry pie and it was delicious with incredible blueberry flavor and a flaky buttery crust. There were pies for sale as well as merchandise and housemade products. Delicious and highly recommended bakery for pies.

What a great selection of pies and desserts. Came for the Whoopi pies and left with a whole lot more. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I'd be the third fat cat if I lived closer! TFC's claim to fame is the pies and they definitely do not disappoint. These pies are just the best! I've had these shipped to me via Goldbelly and had them when I visited Maine, and they are great each and every time. They have a few favorites but I just can't look away from my goto Blueberry, which is not overly sweet, with a great crust. The rest of the bakery is just as great. I'd enter the great whoopie pie debate with these as my entries but that's a whole other fight in the great State of Maine. The scones are delicious as well. In fact everything I tried from TFC was delicious on a recent visit. Go visit this Maine institution, it's definitely one of the best no matter where you're coming from.

I was visiting Maine and did a google search for best pie in Maine! Found Fat Cats. I bought a strawberry Rhubarb Pie and Wow! Google was right! I will be back for more!

I've given them a bunch of chances. But the food is never any good and is super overpriced.

Believe the hype. This *is* one of the best blueberry pies in the state of Maine. "Made from scratch, baked fresh daily, and filled with wild Maine blueberries. The way pie should be." (from their website; it's just too good not to quote directly!). You can visit the bakery (in Portland or South Portland)! You can do a local preorder online (with 48 hours advance)! You can even place an order for nationwide shipping! They even offer a vegan version of their Blue Pie ("the ideal Maine pie: famous wild Maine blueberries tossed with a sprinkle of sugar and warm spices"). It's packed full of vibrant blueberries and the crust melts in your mouth. Pick-up a pint of vanilla ice cream, and you have the best, most summery dessert there is! Also, the pie holds up really well in the freezer! I do wish they'd offer more vegan options (maybe a cinnamon roll, or scone, or a couple other year round and seasonal pie flavors), and who knows? Maybe the will. For now, this is my go-to for Maine's state dessert.

This is the place that all the other cake shops in Portland recommend when you need a fresh cake or pie on the day you're looking for it. Believe me, I called around to three other shops first, then I left work to get a delicious red velvet cake for my wife's birthday...and it was half off! These guys actually have a cake and pie case like The Governor's Restaurant, so they can have one ready for those of us that planned on making a cake, but found themselves unable to and in a pinch. While I was there, I perused their pies and asked about them, when the attendant told me that there was one half-priced pie left! What! Oh yeah, slap on a pie while I wait. And just for good measure, get me a nice Two Fat Cats tee shirt (which now basically cost me nothing). Thanks TFC for the amazing experience

We bought a chocolate birthday cake made with the crème filled wafer cookies. Yummy! It is a small shop with a big display case of pies right in front. Cakes are in the tower to the right.

We were in Portland on vacation and asked around about a bakery with quality blueberry pie. The aroma out of this bakery signaled we were in the right place. We found excellent varieties from fruit pies, chicken pots, cookies and whoopie cookie - which I still don't understand but I enjoyed! The blueberry pie did not disappoint! The all women staff is friendly and helpful. This bakery on repeat list when I visit Portland again.

We stopped by here on our last day in Maine in search of the best blueberry pie--and we found it. The filling is not too sweet, but not tart and the crust is just flaky enough. The whoopie pie was also amazing. I wasn't planning on getting it but it looked tempting and was a great addition. It was so fresh and the filling was light and airy. The staff was also nice, helpful, and patient! The bakery is very cute inside and there was plenty of stock left around 12 on a Friday. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area!

Two Fat Cats has the best peanut butter cookies; a must try. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

People were very nice, I was very surprised that they had nothing with apples in it, which I was craving. They said they only do apple stuff in the fall, this surprised me as we have apes year round. They did have some nice looking pastry though.

Great cupcakes. Tried the vanilla and the chocolate. Both were light, moist and delicious.

Fantastic bakery in Portland! Loved our classic whoopie pie and a triple berry pie we tried. The pie was flavorful and moist, and even though we waited 8+ hours to eat it after buying it, the crust was still crunchy. Also was pleasantly surprised by their ice coffee, that was delicious! Finally, their merch is top notch. I deeply regret not buying one of their metal-inspired Two Fat Cats t-shirts.

My mom and I are in Maine for a trip. She was determined to find a good blueberry pie. This place has it, 5/5 . Easily accessible with parking have an array of baked goods and pies. Definitely worth a stop while visiting Maine.

Still thinking about our raspberry pie from Two Fat Cats Bakery. It was a bit tart yet sweet, it had the perfect crust, and it was just delicious. I had been meaning to visit this local bakery and on my way to Trader Joe's I finally stopped by. I was quickly welcomed by the friendly staff and felt right at home. We ordered a raspberry pie and some pumpkin cookies, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about both desserts. The cookies were seasonal and were so soft and moist! They were also nice enough to hold my order as I walked over to Trader Joe's. Also -- I want to give them a shoutout for their philanthropic work and involvement in our local community. I've learned that they often sponsor nonprofits and events, and I absolutely love that. Keep it up, Two Fat Cats!

Cute place with great food and ample parking! We ordered breakfast hand pies and some sweet treats to go. Very kind people and a yummy breakfast!

The pies at Two Fat Cats Bakery are delicious and are incredibly flavorful and the texture is flaky and tender. Love the fact that when I am feeling lazy making a really good pie I can head to Two Fat Cats!

Amazing homemade pies. Pre-ordered 3 pies to take to family reunion in Belgrade Lakes. The Sour Cherry was everyone's favorite! Also delicious were the strawberry-rhubarb and Maine blueberry.

Stopped in here for some snacks on the way out of town on a Wednesday morning. Their blueberry pie was very yummy. They sell it by the whole pie, slice or a mini pie. I chose the mini pie. The crust on top was a bit biscuit like which made it very nice. It was flavorful. I also had the chocolate whoopie pie. The filling was lovely - light and not too sweet. The cookie wasn't my fav. It tasted very floury. It was fine. I certainly ate it. But I wouldn't get it again.

Hands down absolutely the best blueberry pie you'll eat. They use the tiny Maine blueberries and a light almost puff pastry type crust. They sell out fast. My other favorite is the sour cherry pie when they have it. And if pie isn't your thing their whooped are delicious too. I love the lemon with the raspberry buttercream .

I was told since I was gluten free I had to stop in here that I wouldn't be disappointed. Honestly Portland didn't offer that many options for gluten free which I was extremely disappointed about. These cupcakes were dry, the best part was the icing on the vanilla cupcake. I didn't enjoy the chocolate cupcake at all, it had this whipped cream type icing. The cookie was the best cookie. That's my own vanilla oat milk. If you are craving something sweet I guess it'll do in a pinch but I don't live in Maine and I've had way better in other states. Definitely get the cookie which is why there is a 3 star rating.

Such yummy baked goods that were tasty without seeming obviously gluten free. Will be back!

Took a 20 min walk to try this bakery BUT was truly disappointed in the selections. Went there around 1pm on a Wednesday and the choices were limited and wasn't that appealing. Chose the warm spinach and feta hand pie, gf chocolate cookie, and the coconut lemon square. All were underwhelming and ended up throwing the hand pie and lemon square away. The gf chocolate cookie was good but small and not worth the price especially when the whole bottom was missing. I would not have sold this cookie since half of it was missing. As for the spinach and feta hand pie, it wasn't seasoned well, too much spinach with barely any feta to cut some of the spinach filling. Ate 1/3 of it and the taste became too vegetal that my taste buds said No Mas. I love lemon squares and with some coconut crumbles, seems like best of both worlds. Sadly, I was disappointed since you only tasted the shortbread cookie crust more than any lemon filling. After eating a couple of bites, the way too crumbly crust was a turn off that no amount of tea help with the dryness. It was more of a shortbread cookie with a lemon curd glaze. Definitely won't be back. The 45 min round trip walk wasn't worth the trip

Totally recommend! I'm visiting from out of town and wanted to try blueberry pie! We ordered a mini pie to share and it was delish! Light fluffy (yet substantial) pastry and flavorful blueberries! They were so nice to swap my drink to an Arnold Palmer after I ordered and changed my mind.

I went back to Two Fat Cats and I must say that the whoopie pies were better than ever. They had a lot of yummy cream. I wish they were a little bigger because I could easily eat 3 at a time. I cannot wait to get them again.

My boyfriend and I aren't huge fans of pie, so you KNOW this pie is good when we try to stop by whenever we're in Portland! The filling in the blueberry pie is generous and has the perfect balance between sweetness & tartness, and the crust itself is delicious. Would highly recommend trying Two Fat Cats even if you don't usually love pies!

I ordered and paid for a cake on 11/8 for pickup on 11/26 over the phone. When I arrived to pick up the cake they told me they didn't have my order, accused me of ordering from the wrong store until I provided proof of payment and then when they found my order, did not offer a substitute cake nor any apology. So I had to scramble to find a cake within an hour for a child's birthday party from another store. Terrible customer service. Used to go for decent pies and pastries a couple times a month but not worth the customer service.

The cutest place with the best Blueberry Muffins and Pie in all of Maine. Swirls of blueberries make the muffins so moist and flavorful. Just the right size and not too sweet. Please come to Boston!

I heard about Two Fat Cats Bakery through a Portland, ME facebook group. When we arrived to pick up our order, we were glad that they had their own parking lot. They are a bakery that sells sweet and savory pies, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, whoopie pies, breakfast pastries (e.g., scones, muffins, cinnamon buns), egg bakes, local honey, local coffee beans, and tea bags. My order consisted of 6 chocolate chip cookies, 6 lemon shortbread, two 7" blueberry pies, and a slice of sour cherry pie. Between the two cookies, I liked the lemon shortbread cookies more. I liked how the lemon shortbread were glazed with a lemon icing and decorated with colorful sprinkles. I liked how the fruit filling had notes of sugar, spices, and nuts and how the pie crust was crispy and flaky. The sour cherry pie had a nice lattice pie top.

For some reason had a craving for pie, so Two Fat Cats was our first stop of our Portland day trip. We got there around 12pm on a Saturday, but there were still pretty much all the pie flavors available. We ended up choosing the Blueberry Rhubarb Pie and left it in the car for the rest of the day while we were out and about. By the time we got to eat it around 8pm, we heated it up in the microwave for a bit and it tasted as fresh as if it had just been baked. The crust was a perfect flaky texture with the right amount of crunch, and the filling wasn't too sweet or too tart. Would definitely try their other flavors and other baked goods!

We went to Portland for a couple days during our trip to the Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor area and found this place while walking around. We were going to wait until Thurston's (in Bar Harbor and known for their blueberry pies) to get blueberry pie, but it smell inside the bakery was just completely mouthwatering - you could smell the rich butter from the pies. We got a 7 inch blueberry pie to share, which turned out to be the right size - it was enough for the 4 of us to each get a good sized slice. I have to say, this was the best pie I've ever had in my life! The crust was perfectly crispy, flaky, and buttery. The pie was oozing with ripe, sweet Maine blueberries. My mom, who usually doesn't eat pie crust, devoured every last bit of this one. I do recommend heating it up in the oven so that the crust has that perfect, soft crunch to it. By the way, I did end up trying the blueberry pie at Thurston's, and this completely blows it out of the water. It's not even in the same ballpark. Yes, it's pretty pricy (about $17-18 for this 7" pie), but it was worth it and if I'm ever in the area again in the future, I will be buying another one. I can't recommend it enough!

Day old blueberry pie = 5/5 Hand pie = 3/5 Cookie = 3/5 Service = 1/5 We were hunting for blueberry pie, so at least that was worth the visit.

So I'm not really a pie person but THEIR PIES ARE SO GOOD. We got their seasonal large Bog Pie - blueberries, cranberries, and chocolate oats on top. It's Thursday and we got it on Tuesday. The picture posted is what we have left from a two person household ;( We also got the chocolate whoopie pie, flourless chocolate cookie, oatmeal raisin cookie, and peanut butter cookie. ALL JUST AS DELICIOUS. I recommend coming early. We missed out on so many other choices because we came at noon.

Wow. After trying several of Portland's bakeries, this one did not disappoint. I ran here to get some exercise and picked out two items that looked quite good. I could have easily walked out with five or six items but had to exercise serious self control and only pick two. The person behind the counter was very friendly and helpful--he helped me choose the blueberry pop tart since they were known for their pie crust (and that's what they used to make it) and also the oatmeal creme pie. I am definitely not usually a fan of whoopie pies, so if you're not a fan of whoopie pies (or if you also are), you could give their oatmeal creme pies a shot. Their oatmeal creme pies are a little heavy but definitely worth trying. It's like a MUCH MORE elevated version of Little Debbies oatmeal creme pies. And I thought those were pretty good back in the day. A dessert that goes perfectly with a cup of coffee. The blueberry pop tart was also like a blueberry pop tart 2.0. Made with real blueberries inside and the perfect amount of flakiness on the outside. It's a lighter type of pastry if you're looking for that. Not too sweet and I don't feel like taking a massive nap after eating it. The other items that I wished I would have gotten included the cinnamon bun (it was different from what I'm used to in the south with lots of butter and gooey texture dough) and the lemon bar. The employee told me that their cinnamon buns were a biscuit texture which might also be a Portland thing since the other bakeries that I saw that offered cinnamon buns also looked a bit drier than what I'm used to seeing. Would definitely go back for the items I ordered again and also to try the lemon bar and cinnamon bun!

One of my favorite places. Check that. Used to be one of favorite places. Always looked forward to eating the bb pie her at fat cats whenever I visited portland. Pumped it up to my relatives visiting from another country. This is the garbage we ended up buying and when I tried asking if this was made properly and if its normal for the blueberries to be smooshed like in the pic, the lady said yes and made of some bs answer how delicate maine blueberries are. I even showed her one of the pictures of a bb pie on yelp baked properly. And she stood firm with her answer that mine was similar to the one shown on yelp. I didnt want to create a raucous in fromt of my relatives, so i let it go but had i been with friends it wouldve been very different. This pie is not acceptable. If this is the shit theyre selling now and its made "properly" i'll be shocked to see them around in a cohple years.

This is for the South Portland location. We were traveling through from Indiana on our way up to Bar Harbor, and we needed a birthday cake to celebrate my sister-in-laws 70th birthday . We were going to be joining her and my brother-in-law at a rental home in BH and started calling the Bar Harbor bakeries as we were getting close so we could surprise her with a cake. Unfortunately, we discovered no one in BH could accommodate us. That's when I called Two Fat Cats Bakery in South Portland on a whim since we had stopped near there for gas. A young woman named Grace described all the cakes they had and offered to hold one of my choosing! We chose the red velvet with buttercream and it was delicious and greatly pleased my sister-in-law! We also picked up some blueberry pie slices and an original and maple cream pumpkin Whoopie pie while in the shop. It was all great! Grace wrote "Happy Birthday " on the cake, packaged everything up nicely, and gave us carryout supplies. She was very nice, patient, and helpful. We appreciated her and Two Fat Cats coming through for us and making it a memorable celebration.

This is the only place we buy pie. The crust is buttery and delicious, if they sold pie plates of just crust, I would still buy it :) Our favorite pie, is sour cherry - it is tart, buttery and delicious. It doesn't usually last for more than a couple of days. The scones are delicious! The brownies, cookies and other treats are delicious as well. So much to try and so few calories available to splurge :) Call ahead for special orders, but there is usually a good selection on hand for pick up as well, be sure to ask for assistance with the pies. There is a sign but people still don't follow directions. The staff is ready and able to assist with picking out the pie with you, just be patient. Good things come to those who wait. The only downside is that this area is quite congested, especially with the construction happening in the area. Luckily, i am usually with someone and one of us jumps out and runs in for the quick purchase while the other looks for parking or just circles the block. While it can be inconvenient, their goods are sooo worth it. Fast and efficient and patient staff makes it always a pleasant experience, even when it is crazy busy and crowded inside. As long as they remain open, I will remain a loyal customer.
