I love Flour Girls & Dough Boys .. usually. It is the quaintest little cafe, perfect for a mom's night out, but also child friendly enough for a laid back lunch. The kids' play kitchen is an adorable spot, tucked away enough to not cause too much chaos. I enjoy eating here with my children, friends, or by myself, with a good book and food to nibble on.
The menu is pretty good - with a few items that have become obsessed over and recommended by many. Two of the items I have been told ""You HAVE to try that"" by so many women, are the Chocolate Mousse Hot Chocolate, and the Prince Charming cake.
Unfortunately for Flour Girls & Dough Boys, both of those items are so popular that they are difficult to keep in stock. It's become a chronic problem for those who enjoy and return for those two items.
There was a solid two week period where the Prince Charming cake was unavailable. I was told repeatedly to try coming back the next day. I received the same suggestion daily. Unfortunately, my sister in law's birthday passed, and I was never able to get ahold of her favorite cake, despite being told to try day after day.
The saddest thing for me has been my attempt to support this local cafe as I have been passing by Starbucks, Kneaders, Beans & Brews, Blue Lemon, etc. to get my morning hot chocolate. Flour Girls & Dough Boys Chocolate Mousse Hot Chocolate has been called ""to die for"". I'm glad it's not true, or many of us would be dead many times over. I have tried (too hard) to buy their hot chocolate. Sadly, there have been WEEKS where the hot chocolate is simply unavailable. There have been times where the woman behind the counter would get irritated when I asked if they had hot chocolate. I was told to look at a location in the display, and if I didn't see it there, don't bother asking if they had it. I was a bit taken about by the woman's irritation.
So, 3 stars for the atmosphere and other food. Just don't expect the Hot Chocolate.
Pros: Good food, awesome hot chocolate
Cons: Rude employees, ""Out of Stock"" often
