Their baked goods are incredible. For really really real. Incredible. After going there for breakfast, I went back for lunch... before leaving town. I don?t write gushing reviews, this place is awesome. Read more

Great prices and friendly staff! Latte wasn?t too sweet or bitter. Really cute place with plenty of tables or couches to chat or... get work done. Super popular place so it isn?t quiet Read more

I've been here a handful of times over the course of 2 years. Service is always quick and friendly. They even entertain some of... my long-winded questions with patience. I especially love their bialys and sandwiches. Coffee is also always good but my go-tois their seasonal iced teas! Great place to meet with friends for a quick lunch! Even at their busiest hour.

My husband stopped for lunch today and enjoyed our first visit here. The kale salad was delicious and my husband gobbled up his... hot ham and cheese sandwich. We shared a rosemary lemonade which was unique and delicious. Loved the bright atmosphere and therewas plenty of seating. Looking forward to coming back soon! Read more

Just had my first experience here, and it was divine! Got a seasonal orange cardamom latte as recommended by the very sweet,... friendly staff and it was absolutely perfect on a cold day. The decor, the staff, and the products were all exactly what I loveabout shopping and dining local! I will definitely be returning many times :) Read more

Scenic Route is a good bakery and coffee shop but not our favorite around the area! The baked goods are delicious and the coffee... is decent. Overall, the place was good! I recommend the pinwheel and the Honey Bee latte! Read more

My friend and I stopped for our first time. It?s a quaint bakery, with a bright atmosphere. The baked goods were phenomenally... flakey. I had been craving a chocolate croissant for weeks and it hit the spot. A great place for a quick lunch, priced well(especially for east village). Excited to go back and try coffee along with another baked good soon! Read more

One of the few cafes and bakeries in the area, Scenic Route has ample indoor and outdoor seating for groups of all sizes. The... atmosphere is cozy and I found that the staff were really helpful and kind. I visited later in the day so most pastries andbreads were already sold out! I still managed to have a ?unicorn? latte (lavender), green goddess salad, cup of tomato bisque,and a peach pastry. The salad I should?ve asked for dressing on the side, as it was delicious but a bit too drenched for mytastes. I also wish more additions were available as options, other than proteins. The soup was a great surprise and I?m glad Ihad it! Their lattes feel generous and well-priced; I would say that their food selection may be a bit pricier than one wouldexpect compared to their drinks. The pastry was still delicious and crispy by the time I had it in the afternoon. Overall, greatplace to relax and catch up with others, plenty of cozy spaces. Read more
