    Tiramisu  Now wondering, if this is a day old?
    Patricia D.

    It's been a while since I've been here...a big change, when it was a little hole on the wall place. It seems as their good service went down some. Bought a chocolate almond croissant, and if I had not been paying attention, the lady was giving me a "day old" croissant For the price they charge, I sure don't want or expect a day old croissant! For it being pretty empty, they took forever to get our order and kept asking over and over to repeat the simple order, oh well. So disappointing.

    A lovely little bakery and coffee shop with really tasty croissants and delicious coffee. While the menu isn't huge, and the pricing seems inflated for what it was, everything we tried was good, and the cute décor and great service made the experience fun.

    Fabulous brunch experience. On a busy Saturday, the wait time to be seated was a very reasonable 10 minutes. The service was very friendly and the cucumber water to begin the meal was nice. I started with a German Chocolate latte, and it was decadent-good... not too sweet and very flavorful. I ordered the steak and eggs entree and it was very good as well. The two over-easy eggs were perfectly prepared to order and layed over the wonderful cut potatoes . The Denver steak was sliced and super tender. It could have been seasoned a little more, but it didn't require any additional condiments. The presentation was nice, and the price point was fair at $26. No doubt I'll be back when I'm back in my hometown.

    Bistro salad

    Honestly, the food here was very very good. I loved and savored every bite of my bistro salad, and my husband loved his BLT salad. Our sons's pesto grilled cheese sandwich with chicken was also very very good, and the tomato soup was on point too. I tried a bite of my friend's soup of the day (which happened to be butternut squash soup) and it was silky smooth and delicious. I almost contemplated ordering one for myself! Also enjoyed the strawberry macaron and honey almond macaron, and tried some of my friend's chocolate cake and it was super chocolatey with a touch of coffee flavor. SO good. The only complaint I have with the food was my hot matcha tea was awful. It wasn't made of pure matcha tea but instead had green tea mixed in, not delightful at all! Now that I've finished raving about their food, I have to say their service needs a bit of polishing. Just to be clear, all the servers were extremely cordial and helpful, so there is no complaints there. However, probably due to their sheer business (it was Labor Day brunch), and also because we had a large party (13 total), there were a few mishaps. First off, they forgot to tell us they ran out of croissants, so when our sandwiches arrived we thought they had brought out the wrong orders since they were all served on white bread. I think some of us may have changed our orders had we known they ran out of croissants. Second of all, one family in our party had to leave early and we told them to please bring out their food ASAP so they can eat and go. Unfortunately, there was a mix up in the order and their sandwich came out after we were almost done eating. The merchant was kind and took the item off our bill, but it caused a lot of stress for that family. Finally, they just brought the food out to our table and expected everyone to sort out what we ordered. Things would've gone a lot smoother had they taken note of what each person/family ordered and brought the appropriate dish to that guest instead of just bringing it to the table and not even announcing what was being brought put. This was also the reason why our in-a-hurry-to-leave friends ended up getting their food last because another friend had ordered the same exact same dish and ended up taking it because the waiter just brought the food to our table and she thought it was hers. I have to say though, the food alone is enough to bring me back, because it really was enjoyable. Nevertheless, I would definitely stay away from going on a weekend or holiday, or just order to-go (and check your order before leaving!).

    Hot Pot of Tea and Ham & Cheese Croissant yummy

    Very cool French Bakery and eatery. Enjoyable environment and delicious food. Good wait staff.

    Brunch menu

    Been wanting to come over to check this place out because we so miss our pastry shop in Arlington so decided to drive over on a Saturday morning to check it and the new bridge out. Walked in thinking about buying pastries for home and ended up having a great breakfast instead. Didn't even know they did brunch! Hubs had the breakfast bowl and I had the egg breakfast. Both of our eggs were cooked to perfection and everything was great. Had a specialty iced coffee drink as well and it was not bitter and tasted great. Ended up so full we left without pastries! OH NO! That means we have to go back! Hahaha. And we will def be back. Ask for Zee as your waitress, she was the sweetest and cutest little thing ever. 10 out of 10 for both food and service.

    Fresh hummus
    Iva S.

    Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu items, drinks, food and desserts were delicious. I ordered the lavender chai tea, hummus and the light and fluffy cake and frosting. Also got a to go box of chocolates. This is a cute mom and pop place, that has super high output. They sell out of many items so get there early if you would like to partake on your favorites. Bathrooms are nice as well. Definitely worth a stop in with friends or colleagues. My friends had been here every time they visit and they brought me along because this place holds a special part in their memory of greatness. Note for manager, if you choose any upgrades in the future, guests would like chargers at the seating along the wall booths/tables. If I missed the locations of where they were at, these pardon me and Other than that, great job to everyone.

    The environment, staff & breakfast here is a special treat to lift your morning spirits. I first visited their first location that was a tiny spot and have been a loyal follower as they evolved over the years. Corpus is so lucky to have a Michelle & Rachel envision & make this place happen!

    Such a cute girly place. Loves the variety of drinks. Food was great. Fresh. Our waitress was amazing.

    September drink menu

    As a 24 year local this restaurant/ cafe is my favorite in the city. It's a beautiful treat, go treat yourself! Matcha is top grade (much better than starbucks no shade but worth it.) And funny enough, this French style spot makes a better breakfast taco than the taquerias, again no shade! The menu is tailored and thought out and i couldn't enjoy it more. The young staff is always wonderful and absolutely capable. Thank you to all the staff and owners!

    This is my favorite bakery in Corpus Christi. I've had breakfast (eggs) and it is absolutely delicious. I've grabbed pastries. Everything from their decadent croissants (chocolate+almond are favs) to cookies to their beautiful fruit tarts. The service is fantastic. The coffee is absolutely delicious and full bodied! The ambiance is lovely - you can meet friends and also work on a creative endeavor. There's a sweet pink wall full of flowers for pictures too. Thank you!

    Did not have the chance to dine in. My sister wanted cinnamon rolls so we purchased several and grabbed some matcha. Personally, I would not get their matcha again but the cinnamon rolls were good.

    Breakfast sandwich
    Nancy M.

    Everything's pink! Cute little French cafe where everything that can be pink is, even the salt. We went on a Saturday mid morning for brunch. The wait to be seated was about 20 mins. The food is delicious, the lattes are delicious, even the sweet tea is nice (had a hint of cinnamon). The thing they need to improve on is their service. I saw my waiter twice during our time here. Once to take our order and again to pay our check. Different people brought out drinks and food. Also service is extremely slow. We were seated, ordered and waited almost an hour to get our food. The food is good but not worthy of an hour long wait. While there we did get to see a tea party being set up, super cute. Will I come back...maybe.

    What are the updated hours? Definitely don't open at 7 or 8 during the week.

    They open at 9 , sadly I think since they are short staffed the update their Instagram letting the costumers know when they close hope that helps
