Review of Bread Garden Market

This review is for the new coffee locations at UIHC that recently replaced JH. Having had my beloved coffee place for 10 years replaced with BG I wanted to try and keep and open mind and try BG's coffee. I asked for a large dark roast and butter croissant. I was excited at first because the prices for coffee were cheaper but the increase cost of my pastry negated this savings. In total it came to over $6 where for Java I was paying just over $4. They hand me my pastry and an empty cup. So I guess I have to pour my own coffee, no biggie, but I am not really sure which one is the dark roast. The girl at the counter said it is typically the French but could also be the organic or Dominican. I pour myself some french and head over to the cream/sugar bar. No labels on any of the creamers. When I ask they said one was skim and one was 2% but did not tell me which. No 1/2 and 1/2. IMO the pastry was better than JH but the coffee was not even close. All in all I paid 2 dollars in total more for coffee I had to fully prepare myself and a slightly better pastry (with double the cals!!!). News flash, medical professionals that work 20 hours shifts don't want gluten free soups, we want good coffee.

Long story short, I am getting a Kruger for me and my staff.
