Do we really need another Korean shop posing as an authentic French pastry shop? Probably not. Loved the location, tucked away off Nassau Street and the decor is nice enough but I couldn't help but think I was venturing into Paris Baguette's step-sister's shop. Similarly set up, similar boxes, similar cakes and similarly high prices for the experience to PB. Latte was fine, though I waited forever (they claimed they called my name but I was literally standing at the counter the entire time)-no deal breaker but... Favorite: those cookies...

Modern and chic bakery located right in downtown Princeton, just steps from Princeton University. The space feels inviting with a wide range of both sweet and savory pastries, plus plenty of full-size cake options. I tried the fig and brie pastry, which turned out to be much sweeter than expected -- the brie flavor was almost missing, and it lacked the salty balance I hoped for. The spinach feta pastry was better, with a nice crisp texture and good flavor overall. The two came to about $10. Cakes are available in full sizes, ranging from $40-$60, and they also serve coffee to pair with your pastries. A nice spot to stop by if you're in the area, especially for cake lovers.

Such a cute Korean French inspired bakery with an expansive assortment of sweet baked goods to choose from. Now also includes delicious brunch options from the grill though I have to say it's on the pricey side. The place is clean, brightly lit and modern.

I love a good bakery, and I couldn't wait to try this one. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into the cutest spot! I ordered with the manager Gloria and she was great. I ordered: Apple Crumble Tart Strawberry ade Oreo Cream croissant Lemon curd donut Chicken & Croffle I loved it all! My favorite definitely was that lemon curd donut! I had a great experience!

Cute cafe that opened relatively recently, a bit off to the side from Nassau St. The food is decent, albeit pricey (and a bit small for the price). The standout would be the spinach gruyere quiche, which was nicely flavorful. Perhaps it was because we visited when they had just first opened, but it seemed like the employees were not quite knowledgeable or familiar with the setup. One member of my party had ordered a latte, but they overcharged her and could not figure out how to fix it. Also, while we were eating, a strange burning smell came from the kitchen, a police car and firetruck came, and we were told to evacuate by the firefighters. It turned out there was an electrical fire. While no one was hurt (besides sniffing in smoke, I suppose), the considerable delay between when we first started smelling the fire and when we were informed of the situation by the on-scene responders and told to evacuate was rather worrying in hindsight, especially since the staff did not give any information throughout. Hopefully they have fixed these logistical issues and safety protocols since then.

One of the best places you can get ice cream full stop. Last time I went, it was a dark and chilly…read morenight, but that didn't stop the line from wrapping all the way down the block. The bent spoon always commands that kind of line and is always worth the wait. In addition to their rotating flavors, they also have pints for sale, some baked goods, and even some hot chocolate (in the colder months)! The ice cream itself is perfectly rich and creamy, with a great consistency. The flavors are always unique, but not unwelcome. I always make a point of trying to stop in whenever I'm in the area. Just don't be deterred by the line: It's worth it.

10 stars! This place has consistently been one of the best ice cream shops I've ever been to. Even…read moreon a relatively cold spring evening there was a line that stretched halfway down the block. The shop itself is very small with extremely limited seats (if any) so plan to walk around town while you enjoy your ice cream. They have their usual standard flavors, and several seasonal ones that rotate. They allow samples so I'd recommend trying out their rotating flavors even if it sounds like something you normally wouldn't go for. They can make just about anything taste good!

But I do sometimes forget that they are also a cafe and the perfect spot, if you can find a table, to take out your laptop and get some work! I stopped in while in Princeton for work and not only needed wifi but needed sustenance. I got the Far East Salad, one of my recent faves, and an iced matcha latte and took a seat on their little wall of stairs. -Wifi was strong -Matcha latte was refreshing and delicious -Far East salad was soooo good! I love the crunch broccoli, the flavorful tofu, the dressing. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend. The team is friendly and fast and brings the food right over to you. I have always been a huge Alfalfa fan so I can safely say you will love them.
