I just had the most refreshing lunch at Essence Bakery.  I don't know why I waited so long to try it, but I'm so glad I finally did.  Absolutely crave-able!\n\nI had the Mediterranean Platter.  The grape leaves were so delicious and I really liked the current and pine nut twist in theirs.  The  hummus and bread were top notch as well and the Greek salad was perfectly zesty.  Seriously, the Mediterranean Platter isn't exactly fancy, but it is so good and very satisfying if you aren't looking to stuff yourself.  The ingredients were fresh and had the best flavor.  I also ordered a side of the Spanakopita because I was indeed looking to stuff myself!  Not a fan, I wouldn't order it again.  It tasted too much like quiche and I don't really love quiche.  It was also a bit soggy for my taste.  That is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5, I wish I could give it 4.5.  My coworker had the Ham, Cheese & Jalape\u00f1o Croque-Monsieur and that looked delicious, I will have to get that next time. \n\nTo finish it off, I had to get dessert.  I couldn't pass up their box of miniature treats.  All delicious, this is a MUST.  The macaroon was to die for and I thought I hated macaroons.
