I've gone to baker and spice a few times by now, and while I have enjoyed some of their pastries, oftentimes whether in the beginning of day or afternoon, when I request a menu item such as soup, they have already run out and don't seem to offer to make any more. Same with the sandwiches. It's generally hard to find seating because it's so busy in a small (homestyle setting). When I had once asked with kindess if I could speak with the owner/baker she was not very polite back and stated that she did not have the time to speak with me. So some of the staff can be rude at times. But most of the counter service people have been friendlier than that. Try one of their croissants or danishes.
