I discovered La Bête a Pain right before our flight back to the states and my only regret was that…read moreI hadn't found this place sooner. It's a very aesthetically pleasing cafe and the staff were very friendly and helpful. And the food was amazing! We had their Avocado Toast and their Smoked Salmon Croissant. Both were great dishes, but the salmon croissant was the star of the show. The salmon was perfectly tender and it paired so well with the soft buttery croissant and fresh cucumbers. The plating was so beautifully done for both dishes and the drinks came in a lovely ceramic cup. Not only did they have breakfast foods, but they also had a bunch of bread and pastries to order. We bought a bunch to snack on at the airport. You can't go wrong with any of them, but I just love their croissants.

We survived off of them during a very long day at the grand prix. Once we realized we could bring in food, we immediately decided on bringing in a bag of them. They're flakey and buttery, everything you want in a croissant. We also had the ham and cheese croissant sandwich, which was delicious. We also got the yogurt, strawberries, and sliced toasted almonds. It was a runnier style yogurt that I really enjoyed. Everything complemented each other. Everyone there was super nice. There was construction going on when we went, making it a little hard to get to the entrance, but once we figured it out, it was a breeze. We also got their Italian sandwich to go. And just wow. Their baguettes are to die for. Everything about that sandwich was perfect. I craved them so much that when I got back home, all I've been eating for lunch are my sad attempts at an Italian sandwich on a baguette. Their bathroom is also pretty clean and has multiple stalls! There's not a ton of seating, but I saw a lot of people just picking up pastries/breads to go.

Everywhere you look "My Neighbor Totoro" Pictures, puzzles, plushies, wall art, etc. You name it. Some stuff is for sale, some looks way too nice to sell. We sat at the counter, and just looked around at all Studio Ghibli stuff. We looked at the menu for a bit, then ordered. I had the Bol de Yogurt, and she had a Crepe Fabuleux. The lunch was good ! But even if it wasn't, we'd still go for Totoro.

There was only one lady server behind the counter and she was fast, efficient and very pleasant to deal. We ordered a stuffed bacon and cheese baguette for eat-in and a chai latte. Superwoman was kind enough to ask us if it needs to be heated up in the oven which we gladly appreciated. There are lots of very appetizing looking croissants that I will have to try next time. There is one common table to seat 10 which was convenient. The baguette was soft, warm and delicious. The tea was heavily loaded with cinnamon with lots of foam on top. I like the sign inside, at the entrance that no dogs are allowed at the bakery. Guess what? There was one customer eating at the common table with a dog at her feet. I have a dog but I will never bring my dog to a food establishment with or without a sign to keep pets out of respect for hygiene, customer safety and regulatory compliance. While the restaurant deserves a 5 star, I have to deduct a star for not enforcing rules that are being infringed.

Thankfully after walking around and checking out the option I settled on this place, it had a decent crowd so I figured it was promising. They were very quick with their services having multiple people on coffee and pretty much one handling food and one floating between the register and everything else. Pretty quick service. Coffee was good, not bitter. The Lox Bagel was pretty good, although it got smashed a bit when they cut it. Pretty fresh, though the tomato wasn't ripe. Definitely a good spot to start your day.

Others on the other hand, do. Choose between window stools or the shareable high-top tables+stools in the middle of the shop to sit a bit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. Service was outstanding and price was reasonable. The energy isn't rushed but do be mindful that this location is small. The sourdough Baguette we got was anything but 'chain' and had that perfect crispness and soft inside that said, 'homemade'. My Matcha Latte was good and hubs liked his decaf Cap. My Chocolate Croissant had a wonderful glob of dark chocolate goodness in the center and wished I had another. Their kouign-amann was heavy; considering what I've read about its light interior, this one fell short. Both the baguette and my chocolate croissant were the all-around winners out of the few other things we picked up- but will keep these guys in mind for these two items and hot beverages.
