Petit Uppercrust

"Looking for a cozy spot with delicious bakery pastries and drinks? Check out Petite Uppercrust in Hail Plantation. Though parking is limited, there are a few designated spots behind the cafe. The cafe has a homey feel and is within walking distance of a Publix shopping plaza. I tried the egg style muffin and Strawberry lemonade tea, which were both pretty standard. However, the customer service was friendly and welcoming. The area is quiet and neighborly with light traffic during the mid-day."

"The pastry is delicious, although be prepared for paying high premium prices. But the place persist in a chronic identity and organizational crises. There has been an effort to make it a local cafe, but serving baked goods and coffee drinks in paper cups and boxes is environmentally irresponsible. It also deprives this Uppercrust of any cozy spirit. It's hilarious to see distinguished local ladies digging with their plastic forks into the depth of paper boxes to get into quiches and cakes. The usual excuse from the staff is the absence of time to serve otherwise on busy days, but that's fast-food mentality, and the priority given to the owner's convenience and effort to save a few bucks on water and electricity. There is also a striking chaos behind the counter due to a poor organization of work. Consequently, just a few customers often wait for their few items for far longer than they should. The working people there are mostly very nice, with the exception of one lady, perhaps. She would let you know that "this is just a bakery" if you point out that paper cups for coffee is not the most elegant experience in an expensive place. The industrial fan howling above customers' heads on the front porch does not help."

"The ham and cheese quiche is heavenly! The staff were lovely and the wait was short! I can’t wait to go back and try more pasties."
