Strawberry Fields

Closed, under new management.
The previous baker was very talented but when I tried to move further in business and use her for my wedding she was very flaky and no showed 2 of our scheduled appointments. Would no recommend

I came here a few weekends ago because I had bookmarked it on Unilocal.
I hate to give small non-​chain places bad reviews unless they are completely warranted. This ‘bad’ review is 110% warranted!
The place was deserted when we walked in and the décor is nonexistent. Weird vibe. The pastry counter was 90% empty and unappetizing. Didn’t even want to try anything and felt like walking out but I didn’t want to be rude.
I ordered a slice of chocolate cake and a slice of carrot cake ‘to go’ for after dinner dessert. Both slices were inedible! The carrot cake literally ‘cracked’ in half when I tried to dig into it with my fork. Both cakes smelled of freezer burn. It was a terrible waste of money and both cakes went straight into the trash. Clearly they were extremely old and dried out.
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND PASS ON STRAWBERRY FIELDS!

This place is currently closed — under new management.

This place was terrible.
When we walked in and perused the menu, the waitress behind the counter informed us that they were out of spinach. It’s a minor bummer so I settled on the Chicken, Mushroom & Walnut Sauce Crêpe. My husband ordered the Blueberry & Lemon Curd Crêpe. To drink we ordered a large iced tea and an Americano.
The wait was disappointing. Not only that but the waitress informed me that they were also out of mushrooms. The only vegetables I thought would be acceptable was bell pepper and tomato so I substituted the mushrooms with those. While we were waiting I also noticed the baker set down a tray of muffins, promptly and loudly unwrap a muffin, tear it in half, set half of the muffin back down on they tray and took the other half to the back to, what I can only assume, eat it.
I watched as our finished drinks sat behind the counter waiting to be served. When we were served the crepes, we had to go up and ask for our drinks. My husband had to ask for cream for his Americano. When he went to pour the cream into his coffee, he discovered that the cream had curdled. Yikes! My iced tea tasted like tap water.
When I peeked inside my crêpe, I found a few scraps of chicken and sliced (not diced nor cooked) bell pepper and tomato. Horrendous. I took a few bites and decided I couldn’t stomach it any longer. My husband’s blueberry crêpe was mildly edible.
Big. Nope.

Here’s the thing, this place comes up if you do a search for bakery but Strawberry Fields is really a coffee and sandwich place that also (might) have some baked goods.
So if you know that going in it is better. Be warned the hours on Unilocal aren’t accurate so for example it shows open at 8am today but they didn’t unlock until 9:10.
Sadly there were no baked goods ready when I came in. I was told they might have something in 15min but some muffins finally arrived at 9:40. Two flavors. The guy behind the counter said they might have pies later in the day. I didn’t have time to wait.
So don’t expect a well stocked counter and you won’t be bummed out.

I decided to give it one more shot since leaving my last review and, unfortunately, nothing has changed. I’ve added a photo showing the large number of out-​of-​stock items. The service wasn’t good — the girl on the register didn’t know how to use it and so couldn’t ring me up and the guy making sandwiches (who was so clearly unhappy) bussed a table and touched used silverware while in the middle of making my sandwich… without changing his gloves. Sigh. I’m leaving it at two stars instead of just one because the sandwich I did get, after TWENTY minutes of waiting, was tasty.

All I can say is, this place must have changed hands or has just gone in a completely different direction! I should have taken pictures because even the décor is different!
I wasn’t impressed with the baked goods. The cinnamon roll and some muffins appeared to look like they needed to be cooked a little more. Not sure if they bake them there or get them from someone else.
I was grossed out by the flies and fruit flies buzzing around inside the pastry case. I did order a latte, which was tasty. I also ordered a tart, which wasn’t really good. The crust looked like it wasn’t completely cooked and the pears, which were under the almonds were brown.
There were tables and chairs to sit at. Some of the tables had place mats, others did not. Some tables had silverware, some did not, which was confusing. Were the tables that did not have place mats and silverware supposed to? Was it a sign that the tables needed to cleaned?
One positive, the service was good. The person that helped me was courteous. My gut says it won’t last much longer. I may return to try the crepes and have more expresso. I will definitely stay away from the case with the baked goods.

I want to love this place because it’s close to home and usually has good stuff. The problem is that the service is ridiculously slow. Normally bad or slow service doesn’t deter me but after several trips and encountering the same problems, they need to step it up in that department.
With the cookies, bars, cupcakes, brownies and cakes they are pretty good and consistently so. I enjoy their large chocolate chip cookies and brownies the most. I had a cake with cream cheese frosting and the frosting was so perfect. 1 out of 4 times their baked goods can taste a bit stale, ask them what’s new for the day and go with that. Ordering sandwiches and coffee takes a bit long to prepare and they’re pretty average. I would stick to their sweet baked treats as opposed to their lunch items.
Can’t wait until they fine tune their operation, there’s great potential.

Best place for breakfast and Lunch!
Loved the cinnamon rolls so much, We bought the entire pan to take home.
The home made bread is amazing. Love all the great ingredients and soul cooking here. We will be back every week for sure.

The place is filthy at 10am in the morning. They cook the breakfast meals over a portable hot plate. Not very professional.
So, what could be done to help this shop work? 1) clean the floors, 2) install a stove or counter top range for cooking on, 3) add an exhaust hood over the cooking area, 4) add fire suppression equipment in the cooking area.

I went here a few days ago and I ordered three salads. I have been to this place several times and I have always had something wrong but the food was usually good and the issues were minor but after so many times, I have given up on going here.
Once you find something on the menu, don’t get used to it because they will change it next week. When I first came here, the salad was perfect. The menu states that it has apples, celery, almonds and mixed greens. The following time, it was missing celery, then the next time the apples changed from apple chips to fresh apples, then the following time they changed their dressing. They don’t tell you that something is missing or that it has changed, they just won’t give it to you.
The prices on the sandwiches are also constantly changing. They passed out fliers for their crepes special in January. Before the month was even over, the price of their sandwiches had already gone up several dollars even though the flier’s coupons were still valid.
They also leave all of their perishable goods on the counter with no refrigeration along with no one wearing hair nets or hats.
This last time was the absolute last time I was going to go. My biggest complaints were the following: the salad dressing was pretty much just oil, their salad containers had holes in them and one of our salad’s dressing lids was not closed. All of this led to three people with completely ruined jeans. It awful and I just can’t get over the service. I couldn’t get ahold of anyone of authority there.
My friend and I tried several times to resolve our complaints with the manager but my calls were never returned. My friend called and asked to speak to the manager, a girl was put on the phone and when I asked if she was the manager, she said she was not and didn’t know when they would be in. My friend left a voicemail on their general delivery voicemail. My call by the manager, Angel, was never returned.
I gave up. I was very glad to learn that there will be a Panera across the street… Don’t get me wrong, I love to support a local business but you can’t conduct it the way this place has.

I honestly love the food here! The baked goods are undoubtedly the best in the area.
The service is quite nice and the staff are awesome! I’ve been here a handful of times and have never been disappointed! I ordered one of their savory crepes for breakfast once, and I find myself craving it morning after morning! Don’t even get me started on the cupcakes!!! So good!!!

My coworks were happy that a crêpe place opened around our area, so we decided to try it out. We ordered a nutella and strawberry crêpe, and it was really good, so we decided to try it the next day and dined in.
Let’s just say the chicken sandwich i ordered was not the best thing I’ve had. It was very bland, like just putting boiled chicken into my sandwich. My coworker enjoyed whatever she got.
We order desert crepes to go, and when we got to work to dine on our crepes, I noticed that they burnt the nutella and it just tasted super strange. We called to tell them that the nutella tasted odd, and they responded with «it’s our house nutella» and we asked, uhh do you guys still use regular nutella? and they said «Nutella causes cancer.» We said «What? we ordered crepes yesterday?» and they said they got rid of their nutella.

SUPER UNCOOL.
We just wanted to tell them that their food was kind of strange today, but instead we got attitude and got lied to.
Don’t waste your time here please.

Strawberry Fields has potential. Of course, there are strawberry items. Of course, there’s a strawberry as one of its decoration displays. The place has creativity. With that being typed, it does carry eerie flaws.
This place used to be a grocery/​produce spot, but it’s now a bakery and café. Smart move. With the Farmers Market being just a skip away, the move makes sense.
The good? Of course, there’s an image of a strawberry and it does keep the image of an outdoor market, its original function. The place does all it can to be an organic and vegan one, and it does keep in mind of people that have trouble handling with gluten. This is the first café I recall that serves a hot chocolate with both regular and white chocolate and it’s called the Zebra Hot Chocolate. Also, this is the first crêpe place I recall in which there is a crêpe with an actual European touch, as there are ones with mascarpone cheese, a sweet and creamy cheese, though that’s Italiano and not French.
The bad? I’m not a fan of the color layout. For a place with the word «strawberry» in it, there are not many items with strawberries. The items are hit or miss. While the red velvet cup cake and zebra hot chocolate are terrific, the mixed berry crêpe with mascarpone cheese isn’t, as it carried too much acidity. Internally, I twitched a lot as a result.
Strawberry Fields can be better than okay. The creativity is there. The base is there. It just needs to be more refined.
+: The slick creativity and slick decisions make the place flow decently.
-: Its base and food need more consistency.

Their breakfast sandwiches are great! I like how you can customize it with the way you’d like the egg to be cooked, the type of meat and cheese, and also sauces inside. The hot sauce is reeeeally spicy, so I’d probably steer away from that. I was dying.
It’s a cute little place for good pick-​me-​up. Also, the prices here are reasonable. My main gripe is service is super slow and the people working here weren’t exactly the friendliest.

If I could give NEGATIVE STARS I would!
We stopped by this place because we live near by and saw that it was new. When we walked in there was a lady assembling food but did not acknowledge us AT ALL. This went on for several minutes. Finally another lady came from the back and took our order impatiently.
Now on to the food… The sandwich my bf ordered was super old (as one of the ladies said there was «one left»). They ran out of grain bread, chai in the latte, I ordered ham and had no ham in my sandwich! My bf ordered a pie and coffee and it NEVER came! I went inside to ask the lady who said she would bring it «right out». After several more minutes of waiting… We left!!!
How long does it take to get a cup of black coffee and cut a slice of pie!!! (We prepaid it too) UGH!
I noticed most of the reviews are highly rated and lowly rated. And that means they must get their friends to rate high while the low reviews are REAL, and that’s how their average looks high still. I’m sure the owner is going to try to comment as she did with other low reviews too.
Do yourself a favor and DONT COME HERE!!!

My next door neighbor raved about this place so I walked over from Hertz while waiting for my rental car. I was in need of coffee and a muffin because I had a long drive and this looked like the perfect place to get what I needed.
I noticed a lady cleaning her car in the parking lot in front of the door. And when I walked in there was no one around. I could see that they had a lot of different muffins and I looked to see which one I might get. They all looked good but they were really expensive. I walked around some more and thought it was really peculiar that nobody was minding the shop. I was there long enough to realize that whoever was minding the place must have been in the bathroom. Suddenly I thought I’d rather go to Starbucks and get my usual.
As I walked out the lady cleaning her car asked if she could help me. WTF??? I said «No Thank You» but what I should have said was «HELL NO, and you just lost a customer forever».

I really do like their red velvet & chocolate/​peanut butter cupcakes; however, I must agree with one of the other reviews that questions the cleanliness of their employees. If you’re serving food please have clean finger nails. The gal who helped me DID NOT use gloves when putting my cupcakes into a box (she only grabbed the wrappers thankfully), but it was so black under her fingernails. Nasty! As a customer, is it too much to ask for employees to have clean hands & fingernails AND to use gloves?
2 stars for the tasty cupcakes and for it being conveniently located in walking distance from my place. Cleanliness is a huge factor for me, thus I had to minus 3 stars.

This location should change it’s name to Strawberry Fields Café & Bakery because they have changed the scope of their business. No more produce and no more groceries, but I really like what they have done with the place. It is now a cute, independently owned café.
The Good:
First, let me just say that the pumpkin cheesecake muffin, that I got this morning, made me scream out loud, «Holy crap, that’s amazing!» I am pretty sure that all items are made in house and what a selection that they have. No more of this crappy chain café pastry stuff that’s been sitting out and is dry, that you would get at other coffee places. If you want big on flavor and fresh, this is the place.
The general drip coffee was good and the ambiance was nice. They’ve added tables, chairs and a large bench where the produce use to be.
What could be better:
I came back here with the hubby for dinner to try the sandwiches and beverages that were not drip coffee, to get the whole experience.
There were two ladies working here. One was the same one that helped me this morning. I like her, she’s really nice. However, the other one really needs some training or they need to hire someone who knows how to mix coffee type drinks. She acted really flustered, didn’t listen to the directions of her co-​worker, acted like she wanted to give up and we (the customers) had to talk her through how to make it. Oy! I don’t mind being helpful, I realize that their espresso machine is new but if you are going to offer something on the menu, you should have your employees know how to make it. A little training goes a long way when it comes to impressions.
The sandwich was just okay. The bread was made there and it was good but sliced a little thick. The cheese tasted different like maybe it was made out of goats milk? Some people love it but I wasn’t a fan. Oh well… I’ll stick to the bakery part of the business.
I’m still rooting for them to succeed. It’s definitely worth checking out for the baked goods.

Recently opened in the center with the Orchard Hardware. They have bakery items and a good selection of produce. They also have pie. I took home a Baker’s Boo Boo Apple Pie and… well, I ate it. The apples were tart and crisp, sliced so uniformly that the most OCD person out there would have been impressed. The crust had a light butter taste and was just the right balance of tender and flakey. Well done.
