We decided to have an early lunch and shared a ham n cheese quiche and the almond croissant. The quiche was made with big chunks of a wonderful smoky ham and the pastry was so light and buttery. We also shared a pecan choc chip cookie and I had a taste of the pumpkin Stella. Everything is top shelf! We'll leave with a supply of good chocolate to last us a while. I recommend the truffle sampler and the Christophe's bars.

One day, I noticed that they had a sign saying Coffee and it said to come in, that they're open. I decided to give it a go. Wow! Walking in, there's a big display case full of beautiful chocolate candies. Reminded me of when I was a child and my granddaddy would take me to the Godiva store downtown to pick out some chocolates. These at Christophe's are extra fancy tho. They're hand painted! Well some of them are. A lot of the others are shaped like cute things. I got my friend a shark made of chocolate. It was hollow but the cutest thing was that it was filled with chocolate fish inside the chocolate shark! That's so appropriate for summer. My friend loves sharks and she loved this gift!!! Also, their coffee is pretty good, but they don't have many options for flavored coffees and lattes like I usually opt for. However what they do have usually hits the spot. They also sell deli sandwiches. I get the salami and Swiss sandwich. They heat it up for me in the kitchen. It is always delicious. And it's always followed by chocolate, which is the best part!

Talucci's Bakery is SO BACK!!…read more Lauren and I had the most delicious lunch there yesterday. I had the toasted Italian sandwich and she had the Caprese toasted sandwich. She also got an array of to die for bakery bits. So proud to support Charles M. A. Talucci and Jacklyn Talucci. They do such a great job with what they stock here. They are absolutely holding true to their promise of delivering AUTHENTIC Italian. Go Taluccis go!! They also have freshly baked breads, pastries, and Italian-inspired treats crafted with passion and precision. Pair your favorite with a cup of Ditta Artigianale coffee Italy's first specialty coffee, brewed to perfection. Can't wait till I can whatever I want here but my salad was delicious.

Between the bakery, deli selection, various seating indoors as well as a cute outside patio. I purchased a small order of stuffed olives, absolutely delicious.

Not having to worry about finding a parking spot is a game changer for me. The dessert bar is a dark purple, making the room feel comfortable and intimate while providing the perfect background for your Instagrammable drinks and plates. I started off with the Shirley Temple ($12 - NA). If there is cotton candy on the menu, I will order it - so this was an easy choice! My drink was served in a funky pink glass with a crisp wafer keeping the cotton candy from dissolving. The dessert menu offers a dozen or so options, including a Chef's Choice option of three desserts (well worth $42). I plan to return for their special Sunday tasting menu, so I chose two desserts of my own. The Sigh of Lima ($18) has a carrot cake base with butterscotch caramel and caramelized white chocolate and a floral finish. It was almost too beautiful to eat! I also ordered the Lemon Meringue Baked Alaska ($21); this one includes setting the dessert on fire and sprinkling sugar for a sparkler effect -- you should absolutely order it just for the theatrics! It has a kumquat sorbet with lemon curd, graham cracker, lavender, and of course the burnt meringue on top. My date for the night also ordered the Chocolate Teddi, which is maybe the cutest dessert I've ever seen and one which I wanted to bring home to cuddle with rather than eat. Make sure to make reservations in advance as the spot only holds 14-16 people! If you're having dinner at Cane Pazzo or Johnny's Garage, head to Roxa for a dessert nightcap. It's not to be missed.

I immediately loved the place...as the place was strikingly decked out in PInk...unashamedly Hot Pink at that! I noticed some GORGEOUS cake creations, as well as some cute cupcakes. I chose to try 2 cupcakes...in Red Velvet and Strawberry. Well, I can honestly say that both were DEE-Lish!! Also tried this drink they carried called VOSS in Raspberry Rose Sparkling Water. Loved that as well. Truly the only downside was that they didn't have proper plates for folks choosing to dine in...though the place was quite spacious, with plenty of tables and chairs. I guess it's a post-Covid thing? I was hoping to get good pictures of the cupcakes on a plate (as the box presentation didn't do much), but Oh Well. Still, I can't dock any stars for this gorgeous place, and its lovely creations. Kudos to Alexis!!

I tried the chocolate chip cookie with buttercream, but unfortunately it was a little too sweet for me. I also felt the price was a bit on the high side for the size of the cookie. The experience was cute and fun, but for me, it was just ok. Definitely worth checking out if you're all about the pink and Barbie aesthetic and looking for a pretty spot for a celebration!

The cookie flavors rotate weekly, so there's always something new to try. I indulged in a strawberry crumb cake cookie. As soon as a returned to my car, I opened the cute pink box and devoured it! The cookies are very moist and dense, so I would suggest that one Crumbl cookie is the equivalent to two competitor cookies. If you want to enjoy something other than cookies, they also have ice creams. I would recommend taking your sweet treat to go as the only seating options are outside. This place is a MUST TRY!!

First of all, NOT A KOREAN BAKERY. The description is misleading. From ChatGPT…read more.. Paris Baguette is a South Korean-founded international bakery-café franchise. The brand was launched in South Korea in 1988 by Paris Croissant Co., part of the Korean SPC food group. It subsequently became Korea's largest bakery brand and expanded internationally. The company says it now has more than 4,000 cafés worldwide and more than 300 U.S. locations. Now my review. It's always a pleasure to walk into a restaurant that immediately feels clean, bright, and inviting. Paris Baguette has a spacious, distinctly European feel, with well-lit displays and plenty of room to enjoy your visit. My only criticism is the seating. All of the chairs have flat, hard surfaces. Upholstered seating would have made an already comfortable space even better. **Ambiance: 9.5/10** Paris Baguette is cafeteria-style. You grab a tray and a pair of tongs, then make your way along the cases selecting whatever catches your eye. Once you reach the register, you order your beverage and check out. Once you reach the register, you order your beverage and check out. The format doesn't require much in the way of table service, but every interaction I had with the staff was excellent. They were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. **Service: 10/10** Now, the food. Everything in those cases is made right there on the premises. That is significant, especially when you see the sheer variety of what they offer. I started with the crab meat croquette, followed by a pineapple brûlée pastry. Both were outstanding. What impressed me most was the balance. Neither tried to overwhelm the palate. Each had distinct flavors that worked together, and each component knew its place rather than competing for attention. The croquette was savory and satisfying, while the pineapple brûlée was an excellent finish. Two very different selections, and both delivered. **Food: 10/10** (add an extra point for on premises preparation.) Paris Baguette earns an enthusiastic recommendation from me. The food alone makes it worth the visit, and the bright, inviting atmosphere and excellent staff complete the experience. I'll absolutely be back. Bon appétit.
