What People Are Saying About Doughboys Bakery--CLOSED

The Scene
The huge cylindrical object hanging on the wall--is it a steaming baguette, smoking cigar or what? This bakery-restaurant, with signage showing its namesake infantry-transporting loaves, draws a smart, urban crowd.
The Food
A dozen types of daily baked loaves line the back wall. You'll find them bolstering the better lunch eats. Served with baguette halves, soups--like the velvety cream of roasted garlic and smoky lentil and ham, or French onion soup gooey with Emmentaler cheese--come in huge crocks. Buttery baguettes grip huge fillings, like roast beef tricked up with Emmentaler and horseradish. For dinner or dessert, indulge in the PBC&B sandwich, which drives a standard-issue peanut butter and banana into hot French toast sticky with bittersweet chocolate.

NOW ON HIGHLAND - Besides the dry meat, hard bread, flavorless soup and horrible service I was attacked by hundreds of black flies!! If your hungry try roadkill, it's probably better since I would not have to wait an hour for a waiter to bring it to me.

Bad food, bad, service, bad experience overall. I used to think this place was good when it was in the old location. I think the staff must hate the owner, and it shows. This place was dirty and out of almost everything on the menu. What was left over, was flavorless and stale. I will never return. Too bad because it used to be a pretty cool place to eat.

I know its only temporary, but I was really bummed when I attempted to have my favorite soup yesterday. I must admit I haven't tried everything on the menu, I just stick to what I know. But even before fatty Oprah divulged on television how good their Red Velvet cake is, I was a huge fan. Can't wait till this place reopens.
