There were 2 younger girls and a man in there. All friendly and chatted with me and explained what each of the things were that they had left. I got a Raspberry Scone, Cinnamon Roll, and Lemon Bar, I just couldn't make up my mind so I had to get them all. The cinnamon roll was at least 5-6" wide and just absolutely to die for. The brown sugar pecan glaze cooked through the layers and rolled in was amazing and I ended up eating the entire thing in one sitting. I didn't care if it was going to make me sick or not. Even at room temperature it was that good, I can't imagine warmed up for a few seconds how much different it would be. The lemon bar was perfectly tart and not sour at all and smooth and creamy and again, all around amazing. The flavor of the scone was great, a little harder than I would have liked it to be, but it tasted great, and I'm sure with some coffee it would have been that much better when softened slightly. Nevertheless everything I got was amazing and wish it wasn't 700+ miles from home.

You get the sense that you are in a family store (even if it probably isn't) where everyone takes pride in what they sell. If you are near either one of their two locations, don't miss the opportunity to grab a cookie!

They have a lot of cheese from Quebec, France and the Netherlands. In fact they have a lot from all over Europe as well. You can ask for a sample before you buy the cheese.

We have tried their breads and croissants and would definitely buy them again. There is a case full of pies, tartes,and cakes for sale and we are tempted to bring one home. They always have someone working who is fluent in English if your French is not good.

It's always been busy when I've gone, but wait times aren't very long and the staff is pleasant. Needless to say, I got home and inhaled my turkey on a baguette. The only thing I think is a little bit of a bummer is the lack of more "traditional" topping options. I like my sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, and onion. The cafe does not offer tomatoes and only has pickled onions. Would be nice to have a little more choice when building your own sandwich. That said, I'm still a big fan and would get food from there again in a heartbeat.
