I absolutely love, love, love this place! I have only gone twice but it's absolutely delicious…read more Especially if you come earlier in the day. I will say it's pricey but I mean what do you expect for high-quality yummy desserts. The donuts filled with some type of seasonal filling is my fav! The drinks there are also worth trying. My favorite was the tiramisu ice coffee (I think that's what it's called). Onlyyyyy thing I would say is the seating, not much seating for the amount of people who go but nonetheless still great spot.

When I saw matcha on the menu, I knew I had to check this place out! There were unique flavors…read moreranging from pistachio matcha (for taste of Dubai ) to honey lavender matcha (if you're needing a sip of relaxation). I enjoyed how fresh and cohesive the flavors were! There's also a variety of pastries offered. These are baked in their Columbia location and brought to Arundel Mills. I was intrigued by the variety of savory treats, some topped with cheese and beef, others with vegetables. I was also delighted to see macaroons, that looked pretty authentic. With all the solid options present, I landed in a pistachio donut! Now, I will say I had a bit higher expectations for the donut. The donut itself was delicious, but I would have appreciated more pistachio throughout the cream in the center or maybe even skipping out on the cream altogether. Overall I think it was certainly worth a try. The matcha, for sure, stole the show! I will be back to try another flavor of matcha and a savory pastry!

A bakery and restaurant what a combo. This also happens to be on of my favorite local restaurants…read more On this particular trip I went for the soup. It always delivers. The team is very polite and ensure your food and made to order. The restaurant does give you authentic Central American vibes. There is plenty of seating to have a medium to large party. Most customers in my experience tend to order take-out during the hours I visit. I do recommend the burritos, quesadillas, soups, horchata, and fine assortment of pastries. Overall they hit the mark at 4 out of 5. Definitely give them a try. Una panadería y un restaurante, qué combinación. Este también resulta ser uno de mis restaurantes locales favoritos. En este viaje en particular fui por la sopa. Siempre cumple. El equipo es muy educado y se asegura de que su comida esté hecha a pedido. El restaurante te ofrece auténticas vibraciones centroamericanas. Hay muchos asientos para tener una fiesta mediana a grande. La mayoría de los clientes en mi experiencia tienden a pedir comida para llevar durante las horas que visito. Recomiendo los burritos, quesadillas, sopas, horchata y una buena variedad de pasteles. I did eat the sopa de res the next day so the glass container is what I transferred it too along with the rice. En general, alcanzaron la marca en 4 de 5. Definitivamente, pruébalos.

It's the star of the show and the rest of the sandwich that comes on it is fine but forgettable. The strawberry and custard croissant was excellent.

The line to order went quickly and food was brought to us at our outdoor table. Our party of 2 had no problem getting a seat, but on weekends parties larger than 3 may be better off with take out.

Diana, Ambassador to Themiscyra, prepares for battle the night before as many of Homer's mythic heroes do, by praying to the God of their devotion. For Wonder Woman, that is Athena: Goddess of Wisdom; and we aren't told if Athena answers her prayers aloud. But what if, being prescient, Athena decided to interfere with Ares' plans, to prevent her champion, Diana of Themiscyra, from having to blind herself using the fangs of one of the severed vipers from Medusa's head? And what if Athena knew the fight was going to be held nearby 7106 Minstrel Way in Columbia, Maryland, and that Medusa's true weaknesses were gigantic, fruit-filled danishes (with seasonal choices of strawberries, cherries, apples, blueberries, or lemons); chocolate-filled, buttery croissants whose flakiness approaches even those of great French pastry chefs; and succulent sandwiches (chicken BLTs on ciabatta, turkey Reuben's on rye, bagels and lox with cream cheese and fresh slices of red onion) that prompt Medusa's own deadly serpentine follicles to salivate? The battle may have ended in seconds with Wonder Woman still wearing her helmet, no worse for wear. Although we may have lost a truly-great comic-book reading experience that still resonates to this day, our stomachs would sing and remember what Wonder Woman ordered from Bonheur Patisserie and Deli in verses and song.

Once upon a time, we were looking for a good brunch place after church. We had heard about a bakery…read moreplace with the same name when we stumbled upon Touché Touchet. Passing the case with bakery goods in it before going to the register to order probably was not the best. Alas! I was pulled away to order actual brunch food. I had ordered biscuit and gravy and girlfriend ordered farmers table. We also order beignets. Cant pass those up when available. All three were delicious! Beignets were done just right and got the "puff" when biting in to them. Had to make a stop by the bakery side to get croissants for the week. They did not disappoint. The service was nice and friendly. Both the food side and bakery side. The co-owner was there and got to spend some time speaking with him. He was very friendly! The place was very clean and dishes were carted away quickly. Lots of light, even on a rainy day, gave a very bright ambiance. Matched the personality of the employees.

I really wanted to love this place but this was a disappointing lunch spot for me. I had seen this…read morebakery on Yelp and it had been on the way back from a yard sale we went to in Glen Burnie. I studied French in high school and have over 1400 day French streak on Duolingo so the name intrigued me. We made a takeout order at the register. Store layout seemed easy to navigate. Staff was very patient with us as we tried to figure out our order and answered our questions about the menu. I ordered some beignets and an "savory breakfast croissant" meal with egg and cheddar. My fiancé ordered some coffee and fried rice. All of this as a takeout order. The food was taking a while (which is fine because I expected home cooked quality meal but it seemed really slow in the kitchen. Possibly understaffed but wait wasn't outrageous. While we waited, I took a look around the cafe. I enjoyed looking at all the different art - I saw a piece highlighting a local artist which I found thoughtful. We looked at the bakery glass display on right hand side of the cafe and I discussed with the employee working about their recommendations and inquired about some of the inspiration behind the business. They were very knowledgeable about different tastes and other products they could offer such a King Cake which I would love to check out another time. I ordered a vanilla chocolate cupcake and my fiancé ordered a Tiramisu cake. They were packaged nicely in a paper bag - the cupcake they placed in a sturdy cupcake box which I appreciated. They made sure it all fit nice and securely in the bag for the car ride home. They also had a company logo on the taekout bag - very nice! We got our food and went home. My fiancé discovered they gave a huge portion size with his meal - which justifies the price we paid. He was very excited about it. We tried the beignets and those were really good. I opened my sandwich - they wrapped it in tin foil so it was nice and warm. The croissant part seemed really nice but the egg and cheese part was really bad. After a couple bites I realized I was forcing myself to try and finish the rest of it but it wasn't good. I gave my fiancé the rest of the sandwich and after sitting with the food, I had a stomach ache (I strongly think it was the sandwich) so I didn't want to touch the cupcake for a while. My fiancé remarked as well that the sandwich did not taste right - honestly the last time I had an egg sandwich that made me feel like that was a cheap breakfast sandwich from Dunkin Donuts that made me never want to order food from them ever again. But this version the croissant at least seemed nice and presentation was nice. My fiancé said his dish was fine but nothing extraordinary. The next day after letting my stomach process, I tried the cupcake and while I did enjoy the cupcake it really wasn't anything special. I enjoyed it but wasn't anything superb. Presentation was nice but again, isnt something I would rave about. So overall, the experience here was fine but I did not like the breakfast sandwich. Service was phenomenal and seemed like they really wanted to share their culture with the community. i was interested in going back to try a King Cake from them but based on this one experience, this isn't going to be a "go-to" spot we'd recommend. I think food and baked goods (other than the foul sandwich) was good, but nothing to rave about.

From the moment I contacted LaToya (the owner) to the time I picked up my order, everything went effortlessly! Champagne & Cupcakes stopped by my neighborhood food truck gathering, but I was out of town. After that event, and hearing so many positive compliments, I started to follow her social media pages and I was even more impressed. Champagne & Cupcakes has a food truck and stops by events, has a set time they sell during the weekends and takes special orders. What I absolutely love about this shop is that you can mix and match your cupcake flavors. Meaning, I ordered 24 cupcakes and was able to mix and match as many flavors as I want. I ordered the Oreo, Biscoff, Strawberry Shortcake, Red Velvet, Peach Cobbler and Banana Pudding. When I say my entire family loved these cupcakes, WE LOVED THESE CUPCAKES!! Moist, delicious and quality ingredients used in every bite!! Don't think cupcakes is the only thing this shop sells, because they carry peach cobblers, milkshakes and so much more! The fact that LaToya is so personable, friendly and professional, made my experience top tier! Did I mention Champagne & Cupcakes is Black and Woman Owned?! After my family devoured the cupcakes, I reached out to the owner to let her know that she put BOTH feet in those cupcakes! I am a new fan and a lifetime customer!! PS - LaToya is now my new BFF and Cupcake Pusher! Lol Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! And if you happen to have an extra strawberry shortcake left behind, hook me up! Lol
