Jenny Nicole’s Old School House Bakery: Reviews & Ratings
Tri tip was amazing!!!!! Coleslaw was fresh but didn't have much flavor. Their DoorDash is also great. The Portuguese beans are full of flavor. Would most def recommend! Probably best tri tip sandwich in town.
What a fantastic find on our road trip! This bakery has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a great selection of baked goods, breakfast, and lunch specials. The quality and portion sizes are absolutely impressive--everything looks homemade and tastes delicious! We're so glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem!
what a great smash burger served with bacon cheese, and all the fixings, seasoned to perfection. The beans and mac n cheese were amazing. Also some wonderful deserts. It's small,'so they pour their heart into their food and service. all home made food.
I cannot believe how long it took me to finally order from this lovely bakery. I called for a pick up order but after I walked in and chatted with Jenny I had to dine inside. First off, everyone is SO friendly. I was having a bad day and as soon as I started chatting with Jenny she put me in such a better mood. 10/10 for being so welcoming. Inside is such a cute cafe feeling. Very warm and welcoming. I usually take my food and eat in the car but I'm happy I decided against it today. They had holiday music playing and loved being able to enjoy their ambiance. Now on to the food. WOW. They did not disappoint. I ordered the tri tip sandwich and a side of Portuguese beans and a white mocha coffee. It came with their homemade crackers. Everything was perfection. I definitely want to come back to try all of their other goodies they have. They also sell bakery items and also cater! So many options to explore.
Wish I could've taken a better photo but I was so hungry. This place is so nice! My sandwich was absolutely delicious. I ate the whole thing! Salad was refreshing and I had a nice cold cherry Pepsi to wash it down. Very nice ladies, the service was full of kindness. Had some oldies playing the background, it was a nice eating experience.
Excellent biscuits and gravy! What a deal. They give you a huge portion. The blackberry lemonade and cookies were a hit with my son. Great little bakery.
First time here and I'll be back! Amazing taste as I head the "On-a-Roll Turkey" sandwich. It's so huge so I'll be having a 2nd meal out of it. Also enjoyed the soup which changes daily. My kids had the Tri-Tip which they let me try and it was so tender! We all say one of the best sandwiches in the area!
Oh my goodness. You need to come check out this cute little dinner. We had some amazing sandwiches. The owner is so adorable. She came and greeted us. We bought one of each sandwich for lunch just so we could try it all. They sell lunches, bakery goods, and coffees. Did you know she also makes cakes?! Stay tuned for the daily deals. Side note, Jenny is just a good person, she coordinates events for the community that helps the people at the retirement feel included. I hope to participate more in the future. Come down and support this portuguese establishment.
I couldn't wait to try this new spot out and I'm so glad I made it on their 2nd day of opening. The place is so cute and the service was perfect. The owner Jenny was so welcoming! We ordered the On The Roll Turkey sandwich with chicken n dumpling soup, and the Trophy Tri Dip sandwich with Portuguese Beans on the side. Both 10/10 Delicious and omg the fresh baked bread and tasty crackers to go with the soups we're perfect. We probably should have shared a sandwich so we would have enough room for one of the many cupcakes, pastries or slice of cake... next time! We'll be back for sure!!
