A little something to tie you over... 5 Star Rating - World class

My boys love this place and so do I! A great place to go afterschool for a "snack" before heading home for homework and afterschool sports. Something small and tasty to tie them over before dinner. Sandwiches are small enough to eat before a big game or workout.
We love the variety of sandwiches. It such a nice change to have a few sandwiches to eat instead of one big one like at the usual sandwiches places.The boy's favorites are the nutella sandwiches, egg salad and chicken salad. Mine are the pastrami, hungarian salami, vegetable and....all of them! Pastries again are small enough to have a nice variety. The prices are perfect at $2 a sandwich and $9.95 a pound for pasteries.
When bringing them to a party or office setting it makes for a fun conversation piece to talk about which one is the favorite, which one did you try, etc.
Also, nice to have plenty of parking.

Pros: parking, clean, spacious
Cons: parking in rear down one way street. May not know where to go to park in rear

Yum yum yum!! 5 Star Rating - World class

We love this little bakery. It's a great, unique place to pick up a nice of assortment of pastries or get yummy sandwiches. And everything is just a few bites so you can try lots of different things.

Great new European bakery with unique bite size pastries and sandwiches! 5 Star Rating - World class

Great idea for the unique and original pastries and sandwiches! Unusual European selection with the wide variety of choices for every taste. Whether you like sweet or savory and salty - Ap-petite has gotten something everyone in your family would like. Better yet their bite size pastries allow you to try different kinds all at once for the convenient one price/per pound so you too can find your favorite. My favorite are the cheese and poppy seed pastries (POCHIs), while kids loved the Nuttella and Banana sandwiches. We also liked their open-faced sandwiches with great selection of European cold cuts and meats - once again nice change from your usual "turkey" sandwich at Subway.

Pros: Delicious food, convenient portion size, unique and original European flavors

Best warm, fresh pastries and great sandwiches, finally a different idea! 5 Star Rating - World class

What a great European style bakery! It is not your traditional bakery with breads and big, stale pastries, but bite size warm pastries baked fresh through the day! There is at least 15 different varieties at any time, my favorite is the Nutella puff pastry. They're sold by the pound, all of them the same price. The sandwiches are open faced, so you get less bread, more stuff. They're all small too for only $2 each, around 12-15 different choices that they change out every day. And just because they're small it doesn't mean you'll stay hungry, you can always just get more.

Pros: Food, parking, price
