They even make their own bread. Plates may look small but they do fill you up, so it's the best place to go to if you're really hungry. The restrooms are nice and clean. Bring a group along!

WOW. I had lunch at a pizza shop next door and a friend suggested we pop over for a pastry. I was…read morenot prepared for what awaited me. Tours was bright, cheery, and had soooo many pastries. It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Stopped in near closing time on a cold December night and were pleasantly surprised by the numerous…read morechoices of beautiful pastries and breads that were still available. Couldn't believe it when I a friend told me this place has been in operation for years. Guess I need to venture over to Lawrence from Topeka more often! While not the case across the board, we found a number of the items we selected to be on par with the quality of treats we enjoy while visiting France. Needless to say I will be wearing out the Turnpike making return visits to this real gem.

Loved it didn't contain nuts since I was serving to guests and wasn't aware of any allergies. Was a little disappointed with the hot cross buns. They tasted amazing and were a hit, but the traditional cross on top wasn't present. Also was baked in a round container instead of the advertised and traditional rectangle. Staff was so nice from the ordering, payment and pick up. Pick up was at the sisters store Taylor's donuts which tempted me with the apple fritters and amazing smells.

Note: This is from some time ago, so perhaps things have changed…read more I have just visited once, at the Farmers' Market downtown. Their goods have a simple, but lovely, appearance and presentation. The cupcakes are individually wrapped, which seems a bit silly, but it's nice at the market if you aren't going to eat right away, and certainly is nice if you want to pick up a little treat for someone. I was a bit disappointed in the size of cupcake; the cake itself was fairly small, and overall was almost half-icing. I had a Maple Black Walnut cupcake. The black walnut stood out more flavor-wise, and was good. The cream cheese frosting was unexpected, but went decently well with the cake (I admit I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese frosting), though there was definitely too much for me. The ingredients are conveniently listed on the back of each wrapper, and it is nice to note that most are organic. This jives well being at the Farmers' Market.
