The staff even wear those classic French red hats, which adds to the whole experience and makes it feel really authentic. Everything looked incredible, but I went with a chocolate dessert (don't remember the exact name) and it was amazing,smooth, and not overly sweet. You can tell it's made with quality ingredients. The cappuccino was also very good and paired perfectly with it.

There's plenty of seating indoors and out, complete with a lounge couch to been seen and to see. I hope one day they cleanse themselves of the ghastly overdone wood decor walls but they were probably on point when the place opened. Staff isn't the friendliest but hey, they're French!

I downed an ENTIRE cream-filled doughnut…read more Came to know of this place through a Yelp friend and, enchanted by the name, I started following them on social and always kept in mind to go visit when I could. I don't live close by to it, so it takes some planning. They're known for their sourdough donuts so I had to have one, even though I'm lactose intolerant. Ordered the orange-pistachio cream doughnut on Ohhh my yumness -- it was SO good. Not really sweet/ definitely not overly sweet, which is so elegant. Not everyone gets the sugar balance on point but I'm a huge fan of their flavor balance. Could really taste the orange OR pistachio, maybe a hint of the pistachio, but no complaints at all. Every bite was really very enjoyable What WERE super duper sweet though were the staff :). Also no complaints there :) The coffee was also really good, too! You know how sometimes a bakery can be really good at some items but their beverages leave much to be desired? Not the case here. Space is cute and small but not small? There is a small dining room in the back. The decor is also "just right" whimsical.

They had a decent assortment of cookies that were representing the Mardi Gras spirit. We wound up getting the orange creamsicle cake pop, a Carmel butter bar, a 6 pack of various macarons (grey stuff, lava you, churro, and dole whip) and a spaceship earth cookie. We've eaten most of everything at this point. And it was amazing. The flavors bring you back to Disney and their amazing baked goods and yummy treats. They also sell a few of the cookie cutters that they use (they make them so they can make the cookies) seriously. Would recommend them for anything!

I'm a sucker for a good chocolate cookie and theirs is sooo good. You know everything else will be good if the "simple"chocolate chip cookie is something I can have 10 of with no regret. I also had the rice krispie treat and macaroon. Both devoured in a second. It's not overly sweet and love that it has the great home made taste and feel to it. My friend LOVED the s'mores blondie. Highly recommend your next gift to someone or for yourself The Modern Cakery!

Baking Grace is definitely one of the bakeries on top of my list whenever I need a cake, especially…read morefor birthdays. Their cakes are incredibly delicious, light, airy, moist, and full of flavor without being overly sweet. I've ordered both the Chocolate Silk and Cannoli cakes, and they've been a hit every single time. You can really tell they use high quality ingredients, and the balance of flavors is spot on. The staff is another big reason I keep coming back. Every time I've ordered a cake, they've been friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating, which makes the whole process easy and stress-free. While I've only ordered their cakes so far, they offer so many other items that I'm excited to try in due time. On top of everything, their prices are very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Highly recommend Baking Grace to anyone looking for a consistently amazing cake and great customer service.

They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with. We sat at one of the little tables on the sidewalk outside since the weather was nice. I will be back if I am in the area and in the mood for a sweet treat!

We snagged one as people were getting up. I got a napoleon and another dessert that was chocolate mouse with Carmel and a biscuit cookie on the bottom. It was soo good. Really fluffy but also creamy and rich. Highly recommend this place if you love chocolate! I spent near $30 for a small hot chocolate, a cookie, pastry and mini cake. So it is expensive! But worth it once in a while. And they have a bathroom in the back!

There is a small lot tucked in the back, but plenty of street parking or metered parking close by. The line moves fast - so once you get in, you can grab a menu or order à la carte from the bakery and dessert cases. Once you pay, you get a numbered paddle, which you can take to your seat and servers will bring your food over quickly. The matcha lattes were delicious and had the perfect milk froth and design A+ for presentation The breakfast sandwich (salmon, avocado, and egg) is on a soft brioche with micro-greens and the perfect tangy dressing - satisfied my craving and was filling. Highly recommend!
