What a professionally and efficiently run bakery; 10 out of 10 experience. Greeted right when we walked in the door by the friendly staff and our order was taken care of quickly. Our pastries were amazing, and the bananas foster macaron was the best macaron I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back!
Everything I’ve ever had from here has blown my mind. The croissants are the best, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything they make. I had a spiritual experience with the breakfast sandwich— and I don’t even really like ham. I’d come here every day if I could.
EVERY. BITE. WAS. PHENOMENAL. Seriously, this is the most amazing bakery. These are extremely high grade chef prepared dishes. We got the quiche, ham/gouda croissant, almond croissant & the raspberry ruby. 10/10 I felt like I was in France. I live 40 minutes away and will absolutely come all the way just for this bakery.
One of the best bakeries I have ever been to! They have recently won a James Beard award. The chocolate almond croissant was recommended to me by one of the staff, and it was probably one of the best croissants I’ve had in my life. I tried several of their other pastries, including Guyana, an all-chocolate mousse, and Jarmo, a raspberry pistachio cake. They were all excellent. I don’t think you can order anything wrong.
I feel very fancy right now. Greyere, yellow cheddar, Havarti, and Parmesan cheese, baked into this buttery crust is now floating around in my belly. You would feel fancy too. This is Nathaniel Reid bakery’s four cheese quiche. We didn’t stop there. We got a chocolate chip and pecan cookie and several macaroons. Two-time James Beard Awards semifinalist for Outstanding Baker (2019 and 2020). Sign yourself up and check this spot out. Also, as soon as you walk in the door, everyone behind the counter is greeting you. It’s so nice to feel so welcome.
Short review because so much has already been written about these guys and it's all positive...yep, me too! I had a turkey on croissant that was elevated significantly by the addition of some creamy Havarti and an aioli. Yes, it was a "fat-ball" sandwich but it was so damn good! Also, the woman in line behind me asked to have her's heated up so I followed suit and believe it made it even better.
Stopped in here to see what it had and I can tell you that I would travel 30miles to just get a couple of treats they create. The puff breads with honey ricotta fricotta was an absolute favorite of mine.
Exquisite! Superb!! Delectable!!! Been here several times and it's pure perfection. The pastries, the tarts, the croissants and the sandwiches... Everything we've tried is mouth-watering. The wait staff is professional and friendly. The place is spotless. Nice assortment of product to purchase for home baking. My only wish? A small sidewalk table or two with umbrellas (or is there room out back for a little garden seating area?) Can't wait to make it back to Nathaniel Reid🌹
I just moved from Europe to America and I could never find a dessert worthy of my taste. This place literally brought me to the peaks, I said I would definitely come back with every bite I took. And I wonder if there are other branches where I will try all the desserts one by one. As soon as you enter, you feel warm when you see the smiling face of the employees with a warm atmosphere, I definitely recommend it.
Seriously, Five Stars is not enough for Nathaniel Reid Bakery. I'd give them a 10 Star rating if I could. The shop is pristine. The display cases are filled with works of art, that taste delicious. The staff is cheerful, friendly and all of them dressed in uniforms gives a feeling of professionalism. I enjoyed a Smoked Ham and Gruyere Croissant and a black coffee in house. I was to have a seat at the counter in their front window and relax while my dogs were at the doggie spa up the street. The croissant was super-super flakey and the smoked ham paired beautifully with the gruyere cheese. I couldn't come to NRB and not take home a couple of sweet treats. My favorite treat was the Raspberry Lemon Financier. It was so good the next morning with my home brewed coffee. Then that evening I enjoyed a Lemon Cake whose name I cannot recall. It exceeded moistness and the strong lemon flavor was just what I like. In addition to my treats, I got a Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie for my fur-babies pet stylist as part of her tip. My only dislike and it's minor, is that they serve Kaldi's Coffee. I'm glad they are supporting another local small business, but I am not a fan of their product. Typically when I know a cafe serves Kaldi's, I pass on the coffee, but I made an exception here.
