Amazing selection of meat pies in a fantastic market. The owner was delightful.
Thanks, Arianne! Great to meet you!!
I visited Culinary Architecture for breakfast twice this weekend and it was such a great find. The staff was so pleasant and welcoming both times. I tried the Aussie Pie with Italian sausage which was incredible and really filling. The coffee was perfect both days and I enjoyed hanging out at the large communal table in the foyer. There were so many unique and delicious looking items to choose from im the bakery case. Look for a kouign amann- we tried a chocolate mousse filled one and my wife and daughter loved it. Thanks for having us in! So glad we stumbled across your door in search of coffee!
We can't wait to see you again!
What a great spot! Insanely good homemade pastries/breakfast options and impeccably curated grocery/pantry/provisions. Clean and spacious with an adorable, welcoming vibe.
Thanks, Theresa! We love hearing from our guests. I'm glad you enjoyed our little shop!
Lovely place. Great for mingling and the pastries are amazing.
Thanks, it was a pleasure having you at our table yesterday!
I want to share how thrilled I was with the catering provided by Culinary Architecture for my husband's birthday party. Chef Sylvia went above and beyond to provide the perfect dishes for our celebration. She truly listened to what I wanted, offered excellent suggestions, and provided several menu options. The food was fresh, delicious, and simply scrumptious. The chicken noodle salad with peanut sauce was made to perfection and was the absolute hit of the night. I highly recommend Culinary Architecture to anyone looking for exceptional catering. Thank you for making our event so special.
Stumbled in this place accidentally, staying in a hotel around the corner, and so glad we did. Pastries, cookies and savory bites all 5 stars. Fun things to purchase for your home kitchen and good food items at the grocery store in the back. My only question is how do people that live near not go every day?? Thanks for the kindness and tasty treats.
Awe, Thanks, Steve! It was so great having you at our little shop. We will see you next time you're in town!
A wonderful experience all around! Welcoming, warm athmosphere , lovely staff and fantastic food. Welcoming loved the big communal table that encourages social interaction. The café also features plenty of delicatessen and hand selected gifts . We’ll be back!!
