Love this place! All their sandwiches are awesome and everything is super fresh! Their bread is to die for and I can't say enough about how great they are! Had their lemon cake for an anniv party and it was outstanding! Everything they do is magic and I especially like to use the groupon when it pops up $10 for $20 bucks worth!
if you haven't tried these guys you are missing out! -

I love sweet affair. I work nearby and this place is always busy.
When you call ahead of time you get a free cookie with your sandwich! Love it. I always get half sandwiches and my free cookie.
Wish they had more space for parking. there is a lot next door but every spot is marked for the other restaurants. But all in all good food, super busy and love the cookies. I also love the shopping cart of day old pastries you can get a bag of cookies with like 5-6 in them for like 3 bucks- And they are big cookies! -

Leveraging a groupon to try something new and this convenient sandwich/bakery shop on Hartz avenue is a reliable place for some decent sandwiches, salads, and baked goods. If you have a hard time deciding what you want when it comes to sandwiches check out their menu online first; otherwise, you are at risk at staring at their board and flip flopping your decision because everything sounds good. The Roast Beef sandwich had the requisite horseradish kick to it, so this is a great sandwich if you want to warm up during or chill or if you just want something that has a bite to it. Take care in choosing your bread because that sandwich roll has a harder than most crunchy crust to it. The Southwestern salad was pretty good. The BBQ sauce was slightly underwhelming and was masked by the ranch. Better to have a BBQ ranch premixed and seasoned well to go together rather than a bland BBQ sauce that you may or may not use...chances are you won't since you have the ranch. The cookies are stellar. Soft, moist, and a nice sweet treat after your lunch. Overall, a reliable sandwich shop that doesn't have food that will knock your socks off but the baked goods will.
If you want a seat during the lunch rush, go before 12 or risk not having a place to sit. Also, be mindful of parking in the parking lot because those spots are designated by other businesses near the restaurant. -

I finally had a chance to stop by this location and was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the service was. I have been to the WC location and still have yet to try a sandwich but I was there to get cookies and some of their cinnamon bread (no raisins) as a thank you gift for someone who has been working hard on some business issues for us.
I dropped off the cookies and bread and got an email later in the evening from the person I gave them to telling me that the bread was the best her husband and daughter had ever had and the cookies were a hit in the office.
FYI-they do not make cakes at this location but they can be ordered 24 hours ahead of time and picked up here. They use Peerless coffee for everything from drip to espresso drinks (not for me) and sometime soon I will be trying a sandwich on their delicious bread.Listed in: Getting Baked

A Sweet Affair has been an AMAZING addition to downtown Danville. I teach at a school nearby, and we LOVE the convenience and quality of this place.
I'm a huge fan of ordering a salad or sandwich for lunch, walking down to pick it up, and getting a free cookie! They have the best cookies!
Try it out - yum. -

I would have given this bakery NO STARS but you can't.
I ordered a cake for my graduation and I not only placed my order in person and prepaid it, but I emailed a confirmation of my order. It was easy: a chocolate cake with whipped cream and a picture of the UC Berkeley Oski Bear.
What I got was a dry, white cake with frosting and a picture of some other bear that was not even related to the university. My guests were asking, "What bear is that?" The cake tasted like stale white bread with sugar on it.
And when I telephoned A Sweet Affair days later to talk about the mishap, I spoke to their manager Jennifer who told me, "What, do you expect businesses to NEVER make a mistake??? Do you think we did this to you on purpose?!!!" This was not a personal attack on Jennifer, but her emotional demeanor reflected otherwise. At that point, I asked to speak to the owner, and Jennifer said, "Don't you think that I am capable of helping you with this? Why don't you want me to help you with this? You want to speak to the owner? It's not going to happen. He's right here, but now he's not, and he told me to handle this." She made no sense to me, and I didn't want to deal with her anymore. I asked her several times to speak to the owner, Terry Babcock. In the end, not only was my cake ruined, but this crackpot for a manager ended up hanging up on me! When I called back, I talked to a woman named Maritza and she helped me more than anybody else at A Sweet Affair. I just asked for my money back. Maybe Maritza should be the new manager because she was even keeled and professional. If your way of "managing" and providing customer service includes hanging up on a customer who is trying to explain to you what went wrong with their cake, then perhaps retail is not for you, or maybe the managerial sphere is definitely not for you.
Terry Babcock, your bakers need to pay closer attention to what they are doing. They ruined a very special occasion cake for me, and when a customer would like to speak with you, you should take the call. The cake tasted like crap, your manager Jennifer, rather than listen, hung up on me, and the only person who finally helped me was some clerk who really should be your new manager. Not the insecure twit I spoke to.
I wouldn't recommend this bakery to anyone. Not even a cockroach. -

All my husband does is scream about how much he loves A Sweet Affair Bakery. How the sandwiches are so good, so amazing, its his favorite place to go if he can, blah, blah, blah.
Ive yet to be so incredibly mesmerized by the place. Ive had cakes from the other location and was really not impressed at all.
I came to this location for a lunch bite because this location is new and open right up the street from my office.
My sandwich of choice was the Chicken Salad on a soft French Roll. My goodness was it blah. I should have asked for onion to liven it up. The Avocado that came on it was so flavorless and mushy. Mushy Schmeer I would call it to be exact.
I did however buy a Brownie because that was one of the things my husband does scream about and yes, to his credit, it was a fantastic Brownie. I really enjoyed it after dinner at home that night.
When I told my husband of the disappointing sandwich he said to never order any kind of "Salad" sandwich from Sweet Affair. Ok so now there's rules? No, I don't play like that. If I order what I want I expect it to be good.
Maybe Ill try again. Maybe Ill find out what the perfect equation is that my husband seems to find that I cant.Listed in: Help Me San Ramon, Its Not A Song, Its A…

A totally dependably great sandwich and cafe experience. Fast, convenient, usually decent parking on the street closeby . This is the Danville version of the Walnut Creek store that has been around a while. Nice addition to Danville on all levels. A great place to take-out sandwiches. Free samples of the baked stuff on the counter. Amazing bread. Love this place.

Our experience at A Sweet Affair was such a pleasant surprise. We came in on a Saturday afternoon to make good on our Groupon. We ordered a couple of sammiches and a handful of pastries.
- Chicken salad sandwich on multi-grain bread - Cream cheese, avocado, cashews, sprouts, and lettuce. I could see this easily being my favorite sandwich at this place. Super filling with chunks of chicken throughout and I thought all the toppings rounded out the sandwich nicely.
- Beef dip on a hard crusty roll, served with French Onion soup for dipping. On paper this sandwich should have been a winner, but I felt that something was missing. Maybe even just a touch of salt. The beef was tender and the roll was the perfect bread to soak up the juices. I just feel that overall the sandwich and the soup could have used more flavor.
- Chocolate croissant, peanut butter cookie, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie - YUM. This is the real reason people come here. Sure, you may order a sandwich, but it's only to offset the guilt of ordering all the yummy sweet treats they offer.
Selection of sandwiches and salads isn't overwhelming but will suffice. The only soup they serve every day is the French Onion, the others rotate depending on what the Walnut Creek location sends them. Similarly with the pastries, not sure what's considered a "staple", but the variety can change as well depending on what WC sends. Staff was considerate and eager to help. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our sammiches, but there were at least 4 orders ahead of us so it wasn't too bad of a wait. (Friendly advice: Try not to fill up on the samples they offer! It's tempting, I know..) I noticed a lot of people taking their orders to go. Seating area inside is ample, and there are a handful of tables outside to enjoy your goodies on a nice sunny day. -

First off, I will say that I'm a roast beef sandwich kind of girl,... However! I highly recommend the Club sandwich on the Buttercrisp bread... Amazing! The bacon is perfectly crumbly which keeps you from taking an entire slice of it out by accident, thereby ruining the rest of the sandwich... Come on! I know you've all done that before! ;) And let's not forget the perfect amount of avocado! Yum!
Tip: Call in your order, and they'll throw in a free cookie (per sandwich, no less)! I got the chocolate chip and had to fight off my boyfriend from stealing my cookie after he ate his! -

Just went to use my Groupon at Sweet Affair and ordered the whole Crab Sandwich to go $6.95. It was a rainy day and not many people, so I didn't have to wait long and munched on the yummy samples of brownies. Ordered the sandwich on the sourdough roll and it came with cream cheese, sprouts and lettuce. Huge sandwich and half filled me up. While I was waiting, also browsed the day old cart for cookies and got 6 cookies for $3.50 ! Normally, they are $1.50 each. The service was pleasant and quick, so all around it was a good experience.

Raising it up to 4 stars. It still is smaller than the one in Walnut Creek, but they have enough pastry and cookie selections to satisfy the most hard-core sweet tooth. The last time we were there for breakfast, they had just finished their morning baking and kept bringing out plate after plate of cookies, scones, danishes and other treats. We kept changing our order as plate after plate of amazing looking pastries came out!
We ended up with a blueberry pastry (I forget the exact name) and a veggie sandwich to share. I know weird for breakfast, but we wanted something a bit more on the healthy side. The pastry was really, really good. But the sandwich was even more amazing. The sesame herb bread was the best part. So, so good!Listed in: Sweet Eats (Bay Area Version), The most important meal of the…, Sandwiches, Sandwiches,…

This was my first experience with a sweet affair and it was very disappointing. We parked in front and all the chairs were on the tables as if they were closed. Sign on the door said they close at 6 and it was only 5. We ordered our food, a salad and sandwich, and sat down at the one table without chairs turned up on it. The girl at the front gave us a sense of "why are you here? feeling and it felt like she was just gazing at us. She brought our food and it was bagged to bring but we were prepared to eat in. The southwest salad was very bland and they ran out of cheddar and asked to sub it with parm, which i was ok with. The most disappointing thing was to find out that they dont even bake their products on-site. They're baked in walnut creek and delivered twice a day to danville. Why have a bakery , call it by a great name, and not bake your "sweets" fresh and at your location. I would much rather eat at Sideboard down the street where they bake fresh every morning and their organic salads are full of flavor.
Sorry sweet affair but your food and employee service just went sour! -

I love this place! Really good sandwiches and the staff is always friendly. Top it off with unlimited refills on soft drinks and often free cookies brought to you while you are eating at the table. Prices are also very reasonable. I really should eat here more often.

It pains me a little to only give three stars. I have very fond memories of discovering Sweet Affair in Walnut Creek, but the Danville location just isn't quite living up to it's predecessor.
The cookies are still delicious and deserve 5 stars. The cinnamon roles are yummy and deserve 4 (not 5, since at times the frosting is sporadic/ not as generous as I'd like). The problem we have found is in their sandwiches. Specifically, quality is not consistent. Several times the croissants have been chewy and stale, another time there were red onions (we requested none) that permeated the sandwich even after extrication, and yet another time the avocado was not ripe.
We frequented this location quite a bit within the first few months, but I got tired of being disappointed. Still a GREAT spot for cookies, but that's about all I'm willing to buy from them at this time. Hope they get the quality under control--really want to see them succeed! -

Used my Groupon here yesterday AM to pickup some sandwiches for the 49er game... We were the only folks in here at 9:45am. The lady behind the counter was super nice! She asked if it was our first time (it wasn't since I'd visited the WC locale before,) but was super helpful with the menu and very informative/knowledgable about all the products.
Since we had to spend $21 on the Groupon, with 2 sandwiches on the bill it didn't take long to reach it. Sandwiches were $7 + $8, and i already knew which pastries i wanted... the blueberry cream cheese croissant is DYNAMITE, oh many so flaky and yummy. perfect for sharing. we also picked up a couple cookies: chocolate chip was awesome, chewy and moist. the snickerdoodle was good, coulda used more topping.
our sandwiches...pretty good, not great. i ordered the caprese (tomato basil mozzerella + pesto) and i was disappointed they couldn't add oil/vinegar, what kinda sandwich shop are you?! it comes on a ciabbata but i wanted their sweet french roll, and i must say the bread was so so good. the bf had a hot pastrami and he was thoroughly disappointed how lacking in meat his sandwich came. but he definitely enjoyed the bread.
my one complaint: when i grabbed our wrapped up to go sandwiches, there was a big ol glob of mustard on the bag and got all over my shirt! i went back inside after loading the car to show them and ask for a wet rag...was hoping for a free treat for their mess up and only got an apology. boo.
their holiday pie selection sounds great btw; 6" pies sold for $5.95?! yahoo! -

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
Where do I start? First off, I was greeted immediately as I walked in the door. The people behind the counter were very friendly. And didn't rush you to order as there are many options. The bakery smelled of bread. Mmm! The display case housed lot of cookies and tasty looking baked goods. And score they had free samples on display too!. They offered a trio of their brownies and encouraged you try as many as you liked.
I ordered the turkey sandwich on whole wheat. I was able to add and subtract toppings without any problems or additional cost. I was also able to sample the chili, which I passed on (it was a little too tomatoey) but I appreciated being given the option to try things. I also ordered a raspberry shortbread cookie for the road. Which was WAY better than those Pepperidge Farms cookies. Lol. Yum! The sandwich was devine! The bread was warm and thick. The sandwich ingredients melded together perfectly. I'm now a fan of beansprouts on sandwiches!
During the meal, someone came around with yet another sample platter of pumpkin spice cookies. Although I'm not the biggest fan of pumpkin desserts, I gave them a whirl..and they were indeed tasty.
I will definitely be back for a sandwich, when I'm in the neighborhood. -

A very classic downtown Danville Bakery. One of the biggest downsides to this bakery is the location, which is that its super far down on Hartz Avenue and is technically in Alamo, not Danville.
Aside from the location, the bakery was very clean. They also have a section of "day old" selections that are half off! A bonus for people with families and everyone likes a discount. :)
The place is pretty neat cause you can get sandwiches on 8 or 9 different choices of bread. The pastries are also very tasty. PS. Do yourself a favor and order a morning bun!! :) -

I love the food here. I live close to the Walnut Creek location, so when I was in Danville I decided to check out this place. The inside is very nice, and they have air conditioning!! The other location in WC sometimes gets really hot. One word of advice, this location doesn't have cakes available day of like the WC location, so if you need a cake, be forewarned that you need to order a day in advance.

The first time, I came looking for the Quizno's that used to be here, but luckily found this place instead.
The sandwiches are hella good. This is largley due to the quality of the bread, but everything else in the sandwich is chron as well.
So far, I've had the club, pastrami, and the tri-tip onion dip.
No disappointments so far on the sandwich front. Couldn't really tell you about the sweets though. -

I had a Groupon for A Sweet Affair I wanted to use tonight. It would normally be a 20 min. drive, but there was an accident, so I walked in 3 minutes before closing. I was courteously helped; it was clear they wanted to hurry things up, but that is only natural, given the time. Chairs were not on the tables, and I was able to get my delicious sandwiches in good time. I will be back.

Let me just say....any place that consistently has samples set out...gets lots of stars! This place regularly has samples of their brownies, cookies, and holiday themed items. Tasty!
I have yet to try their sandwiches...I am more of a baked good/breakfast kind of patron. Their items are clearly keeping C&H Sugar in business, but I am not complaining. The Orange/Cranberry scone is my current fave....but apparently several other peeps like it too....I have found that this particular scone sells out by mid morning on most days.
One little bugger about this place....you cannot expect to walk and pick up any baked items beyond single serve. All pies, cakes, tarts, etc need to be pre-ordered. This is different from their WC location, where you can scoot by on your way to an event and leave the store loaded up with dessert options. They lose one star for that inconvenience,
I am curious to see how Sweet Affair fares against their Danville competition. May the best sugar provider win! -

I have been a HUGE fan of Sweet Affair bakeries since the early 90s when I used to go to the Heather Farms location when I worked in that area (and I left that job in early '94!) The cream cheese brownies alone will keep me coming back in for years to come! But I also have loved their sandwiches ever since I first had one!
I have been to the Clayton, Alamo and downtown WC locales (when they were open) as well and NEVER have I been disappointed..... Until I visited the Danville location! And really, I was expecting so much more there because the general population there is not as forgiving as other areas.
So here is my gripe and the reason for 2 stars.... I was ECSTATIC to see my very FAVORITE bakery open near my home and VERY close to work! My first visit was nice. I was greeted warmly, had my order quickly and other than it seemed my sandwich was kind of thrown together which made it difficult to eat as it was so messy, it was a good experience. I went back a week later. I was 3rd in line and the woman that waited on me the last time (I think her name was Sara and she is possibly the manager) was busy with what appeared to be helping a woman who stood to the left of the counter, in the corner. There was only 1 other person behind the counter besides her. After a moment, I realized that they were friends and were having a personal conversation. I assumed that she would hold off a moment with her friend and help with the line. I was WRONG! During my 15 minutes there (YES, 15 mins to get a half sandwich and a cookie!!!!) I watched her ignore ALL customers and continue with this personal conversation. All the while, everyone else that worked there was moving their asses to help everyone! Okay, she is young and stupid I guess. She will learn.... hopefully!
On my 3rd visit, I decided to try something else. I walked in, studied the menu for a moment and apparently, in the 30 seconds it took to make my decision, I irritated the woman behind the counter as she semi-rudely said, "What are you having?". No "Hello, may I help you?" No "how are you?" etc... Now, I don't expect much, but I certainly expect a nice greeting. I am always a pleasant, kind customer - even when I am treated poorly. Anyway, I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. WAAAAYYYY too much mayo in that thing! It was like Mayo soup on bread with some chicken in it. I went over to the coffee/condiment bar for pepper and napkins - none to be found! Did they forget to put them out that day? It was 1:45 pm for God's sake! Okay, fine, I will just be on my way....
Yesterday, I went in again. (yes, I am a glutton for punishment!) and this time, I inquired about the hot BBQ sandwiches. The nice woman told me about the chicken and beef and I asked for beef with some cheddar cheese and pickles. She said she could do that with pickles on the side. I sat down with my one cookie in a bag and waited. In about 5 mins, she came back out and handed me my to-go sammie. All was well! Until I opened it up back at work only to discover it was CHICKEN and the tag on it clearly said BEEF! Now, I like chicken a lot.... so much so that I was tired of it and wanted BBQ Beef! So I tried to eat it, but I was just so disappointed in it, I ended up throwing it out after 4 bites. So for my half sandwich and 1 cookie - I was now out $8.00 and I was still hungry!
I will be back (did I mention the cream cheese brownies?) and I just might give them another chance to redeem themselves as the sandwiches there really are good. But I swear, if they F it up one more time, I will be one of those customers that all the other people stop and stare at and say "What is that B!#@h's issue?" LOL -

They're a charming little place (used to be Quiznos I think) right next to Foster Freeze in downtown Danville. I had high expectations coming in because of the high reviews and reputation, but URGH, I was a little disappointed with the pastries I picked up. I did a proper sampling: 1 sugar cookie, 1 raspberry twist, 1 cream cheese brownie, 1 California Delight, 1 macaroon, and 2 Mexican wedding cookie. No, this wasn't ALL for me, the sugar cookie was for my son. Sugar cookie was divine...soft, airy, and crumbly at the same time with sprinkling sugar on top. The macaroon was also okay as were Mexican wedding cookies (shortbread with walnuts covered with powdered sugar). However, the other pastries tasted a day old. The raspberry twist had some white frosting smudged on top that tasted like dry buttercream. The cream cheese brownie was WAY too sweet...I didn't taste the cream cheese or chocolate brownie at all, but did taste all the sugary butter it's frosted with - more so than the brownie. The California Delight was so dry that you'd have to eat it with coffee or tea to enjoy. This could largely be in part because we came at the end of the day, but STILL. If they tasted that way, they shouldn't be sold anymore.
I also ordered 4 sandwiches which were okay: hot BBQ beef, vegetarian, turkey & ham, and kids turkey. They were fresh and not bad, but kind of pricy ($8 for a whole one). The housemade bread is yum though. Also, another reason for 3 instead of 2 is the service. They are so SUPER NICE, warm, and friendly. There were 2 ladies working and even though we came in 10 minutes before closing, they took care of us well after closing hours. They didn't rush us, seem annoyed, or pushy. As a matter of fact, the lady that helped us not only took her time but invited us to sit down to have our meal while they closed up. Isn't that nice? Who does that now-a-days?
Anyway, I'd come back because they're so nice and to give their pastries a second chance (earlier in the day) because of all the todo people make about them. -

Here's a thought, when you open a bakery/deli you actually need to have bread and buns to make the sandwiches with. We waited THIRTY minutes for sandwiches a few weekends ago. It wasn't even busy! They ran out of the bread we ordered so we ordered a different kind. They then ran out of that kind too! You would of thought they would of given us a few free cookies for our kids who had to wait that long but I guess customer service isn't that big of a deal to them. There were people picking up orders who had to come back in again because they screwed up their food too! My chicken salad sandwich was gross and I got stuck with overcooked brown bread. Yuck!
Edit:10/5
At the suggestion of someone we decided to go back and try A Sweet Affair. I am glad I did! We went for lunch and the service was great, food was quick and they were even walking around handing out cookies that were amazing! I am hoping my last review just hit them on a bad day. Can't wait to try them again! -

Out for a bike ride on the Iron Horse Trail on Labor Day, we were looking for a place to eat lunch. I was pleasantly surprised to find A Sweet Affair! I've eaten from their other location in Walnut Creek and loved it, so I was expecting the same here and it didn't disappoint. It said that the Labor Day hours were until 2:00 and it was 2:04, so I thought we might have to take the food to go, but they told us not to rush and we could eat inside. We ordered a turkey sandwich, a roast beef sandwich, and a bag of the chocolate chip cookies (that were a day old and half off) since I love them so much. The sandwiches were great, piled with meat and veggies, so big it's hard to take a bite. The bread was nice and soft and fluffy with a great taste and texture too. The cookies, despite being a day old, still tasted great. We'll definitely be back!

A really nice looking, clean bakery, with lots of seating to hang out for awhile. Staff was super friendly. I had an iced soy Chai (Oregon Chai, like the liquid type you can buy at Trader Joes) it was yummy. The only possible downfall is that I didn't see a restroom, so if there is one, it must be hidden away somewhere.

Great customer service and yummy food! My husband, daughter and I went there for lunch on Sunday. We each ordered a sandwich; a pastrami (husband really enjoyed), a veggie for me (I'd definitely order it again) and a grilled cheese on fresh white bread for our vegetarian daughter. The food was very tasty, however, for some reason, each of our plates had a small piece of turkey on it. My daughter, who is disgusted by meat, actually had a piece on her sandwich. Needless to say, once discovered, she refused to eat any more. We kindly showed the staff the wayward turkey and she offered a refund or to make a new sandwich. We opted for an exchange since we had planned on ordering lunch for our teenager at home. Not only did she comp us for our daughter's lunch, but also gave us free dessert -- for each of us! That more than made up for the offensive piece of turkey. Good will (and free brownies) goes a long way! Even my picky daughter said she'd give this place another try.

I LOVE this place. I am so happy that they are back in a town near me. The pastries here are so good, especially the cranberry scone and the sandwiches are great too. The scones though really are the best thing going. Welcome back to the area guys!

We went there last Sunday for some take out and as a previous yelper wrote, they were out of the bread that came with our sandwiches, we asked for a different one, they were out of that one too. Finally, we got the last 2 french rolls, I ordered mine with no sprouts, but I can tell they had put the sprouts on and had to pick them off. Hence, the wait. Halfway on the drive home, we realized they forgot the french onion soup so we drove back. I was hoping they would throw in a few extra cookies for our trouble but no such luck.
Might go back, might not. -

Let me start out by saying that I WAS so excited to find out that we have this bakery in Danville now. I've eaten at the one in W.C. for over 15 years and love it!
First of all, there is no parking so I can't figure out why they placed it where they did? Then I ordered a Chicken Salad sandwich. I was excited to find out that they could cut my bread thinner so I wasn't getting so many carbs. Why didn't I think of asking that years ago? Anyway, it took 15 minutes to make my one sandwich. There was nobody before me? I can't figure out why it took so long, nobody was there.
I ordered my sandwich to go, big mistake. I got it home and was so disappointed, but couldn't/wouldn't go all the way back to return it. I basically got a vegetarian sandwich. It was a really good vegi sandwich, but it was SUPPOSED to be chicken salad! I'm not exaggerating either. It was basically about one small ice cream scoop of mayonnaise with maybe 5 pieces of dice sized chicken. If I took all the chicken out of the mayonnaise, it wouldn't even add up to a golf ball. It was a JOKE.
I will give it another try, but not with this sandwich! I wonder if this is franchise? -

Stopped by on 7/21/11 about a week and half after they opened. Seems like a nice place, BUT the owner/casher/server needs to learn to SAY THANK YOU to a new customer. He gave us about 55 seconds of undivided attention.
By the way fellow Yelp people, the baked goods were really good and worth checking out. When i get over this I will more than likely stop by again to see if they can do it better a second time.
I wish them well but they have a lot to prove when it comes to showing the love to their customers. 3 stars is being generous because I always want to see a new business grow, please remember a simple Thank You, goes a long way to making people feel appreciated.
If the owner wants the full recap of the other areas in 2 minutes you dropped the ball, message me on here.
