Forge Baking Company

Two part review:

Ice cream side - Really awesome. The sit-down style is something that seems like it died everywhere else. Other ice-cream shops just like to get you in and out (yes, they all have tables but they never seem to be clean or organized) whereas forge likes to keep you right there and engaged. You feel like you're at a diner. Love it. The server was really kind and with a previous customer ordering three pints, they were able to handle the small rush that came in like a breeze. I'll be back.

Cafe side - This review would have 5 stars but the ice coffee was not exactly great. Not bad by any means! But just nothing to write home about. For a cafe that has a good rep and great staff, I was hoping for a better ice coffee, but it tasted pretty burnt. Maybe it's a one off and if it is, I'll bump this baby back up to a 5 star!

Dear Forge,

I love your egg and cheese. I love that I can order it online and walk in on my way to work to find it ready and waiting for me. I love that you use a real, beautiful fried egg and not a pre-mixed scramble. I love your little signature addition of tomato butter. I love it best of all on an everything bagel. You're perfect. Never change.

I've ridden my bike by this place every day and finally stopped here today. Got a very tasty cinnamon roll and a nice latte. Spacious, quiet, and has a good bike rack by the street. A little expensive, but the quality was good and I'd pay extra to not have to search for a table.

Forge is great all around! Awesome baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee. Ice cream next door is awesome too. Get a “flight” to try a bunch of scoops of different flavors.

On the expensive side. Good coffee, fantastic ice cream, and ok food. Breakfast sandwich is great, but don't arrive after 2pm or they'll refuse to make it. Their bread is also great.
