This quaint little cafe is a hidden treasure in Fredericksburg. Nestled just behind the trees and buildings of bustling Main St gives the Cafe a relaxed setting. The sandwhiches are superb with their homeade foccacia bread and the desserts are the whole reason to come. The huge selection of mouth watering treats will satisfy any customer. more

I had seen the reviews for this little bakery, and had my doubts. But guess the other reviewers that had negative experiences were just there on a bad day. I was there with another lady friend this past Saturday at about 4:00, and had no problems. In contrast to some of the other reviews of this place, we were waited... more

Stopped by on a whim during stay and was pleasantly surprised. Great pastries and french toast. We got there just as breakfast service was ending (10:30). Several people came in after 10:30 and were accomodated w/ breakfast items. Ordering area can get congested at times, but when its a popular place that tends to happen. Too bad I was full... more

When visiting Fredericksburg for the day from San Antonio, and had to try Rather Sweet after hearing so many great things about it. The restaurant is set back in a quaint little courtyard. I sat upstairs and had a chicken salad sandwich, which was amazing! They make their own focaccia bread, the best I've ever had. It was also a... more

Wow! For these prices, it should be great. I walked in as a single female, having left my husband outside at one of the bistro tables. The young "gentleman" behind the bar made eye contact, then completely ignored me repeatedly as he was sweeping the floor behind the counter. I thought perhaps he was merely a busboy type person, and... more

My mom, family friends and I went here for lunch. We called before arrving to see what time they closed; the girl who answered said we could come if we hurried and ate upstairs, so we did. We went upstairs and were refused service at first, but we explained our phone conversation and were allowed to have lunch. However, the... more

my husband and I tried to have lunch here. the staff was rude and tried to place me upstairs even though I repeatedly told them I was handicapped and could not go up the stairs. The owner was here, when I asked for another server because I found this one offensive, they told me they only had one server. I... more

A local recommended this restauarant. Service was slow and the food was medicore at best. Had the worst soup and egg salad and my dining partner had one of the worst burgers ever. The bakery downstairs was a zoo with no one in control. We got desert to go and those were good but we would not recommend this place... more

Good sandwiches and hot lunches, but a bit overrated. No clear seating arrangements (seat yourself, but there is no sign, they just yell it to you as they walk by). Got a fork covered in someone's old dessert, display case had grime around it on the floor and cake crumbs inside of it which made me question the cleanliness. One... more

We visited the bakery recently- we got horrid service and although the food was pretty good it didn't make up for the service. The owner was in the bakery the day we were there but it didn't make a difference- actually the owner was very rude and is the main reason we will not be returning. Don't waste your time... more
