COLLEEN'S

First on food: 1. Scones This is not your English savory style scone with clotted cream and jam. Having said that, it’s very moist and the real strawberries they put in there was nice and sweet with frosted sugar on top. 2. Vegetable quiche Wow. You know this is freshly made. It has an unbelievable steam egg like texture, very milky in flavor and a soft crust at the bottom (not crunchy). Crust is perfect in thickness and a beautiful butter taste to it. Ambiance: Nice and comfortable, waiters are very nice and there is no sense of rushness from service to speed of which people walked around. The only reason one star was knocked off was the time it took for food to come. Waited for about 30-40 minutes , but they are short staffed. If you’re in a rush I’d go somewhere else but If you have time to spare it’s worth coming !

We’ve been going here for a while. We love their food, but the service has gone way downhill. Our last to go order took over an hour to get to us. They always have a sign saying they are short staffed which is totally fine, but they were not busy so we didn’t think anything of it. They could have easily told us they were running a little behind and we would’ve gone somewhere else. Instead they took our money and made us sit and wait for an hour. They served everyone else in the restaurant who ordered after us. Half the staff are just sitting on their phones behind the counter. When I asked for an update, I got a very rude response. Zero apologies from the staff. Oh, and the food was cold when we got home. Will not be coming back until they fix their service.

Colleen’s Cookies is a great neighborhood spot for breakfast, lunch or a sweet treat. When I think of scones, I always thought they were dry and bland. Not these. Colleen’s scones are super moist and flavorful. The strawberry scone with lemon glaze is amazing, a favorite morning treat. My daughter and I also love the gooey butter and sugar cookies. If you come on a weekend you’ll see the outside patio full of families and dogs enjoying brunch.
