Earlier this week I decided to take a day off of school to spend time with Daryn. With our busy school and work schedules, we usually don't get to spend more than a few hours before going to bed together. I had a sudden craving for something sweet - something baked. We'd been wanting to try a local bakery and cafe, Shirley's, since we moved to Provo, and so we headed off!
The cafe was pretty empty when we got there, so we had a chance to really look around without feeling like we were getting in anyone's way. It reminded us of another local cafe, Kneaders. They had baked goods displayed out front and a menu of the cafe items posted. Daryn had already started dinner in the crockpot, so we stuck with an early dessert. After much deliberation we ended up each getting a small eclair (my absolute favorite) and splitting a cinnamon roll. Apparently they're orange rolls are to die for, so we might have to try those next time. It was all so yummy and satisfying! We plan on going back to get some rolls to use for pulled pork sandwiches. We had the rolls at our wedding luncheon, and oh my goodness gracious, they are so good!
Atmosphere: Shirley's was clean and set up well. They had a lot of empty shelves where I'm assuming more delicious baked goods go, but what they did have displayed all looked scrumptious. We give Shirley's atmosphere a 2.
Customer Service: We were immediately greeted and assisted as soon as we were ready to make our purchases. The two girls working were very helpful helping me decide what to get by giving they're own advice as well as what most customers purchase. We give Shirley's customer service a 3.
Food: Since we didn't actually try any of the cafe food, this rating will only be based on their baked goods. I'm biased when it comes to cinnamon rolls, because my mom makes the best ones in the entire world. Shirley's sweet rolls were still yummy (and big!), but the eclairs were ecstasy. A chocolate covered pastry bursting with whipped cream goodness inside. We give Shirley's food a 3.
We're really excited to go back and try their other foods! We'll make sure to report back when we do :) Thanks for reading!
