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!

I had a reservation and visited on June 13th with a friend. From the moment we walked in, we felt…read moreunwelcome. The staff looked us up and down and immediately told us there was a problem because the kitchen was not working and no food could be prepared. We noticed that coffee and pastries were still being served, so we asked if we could at least order those. The answer was yes, but no one offered to seat us or explain the situation further. We ordered coffee and a spinach feta pastry, which was served cold and tasted stale. Considering we were charged $12 per pastry, the quality was extremely disappointing. The most frustrating part was what happened next. About 10 minutes after we sat outside, another family was seated nearby and was served food from the kitchen without any issue. If the kitchen had become operational again, no one informed us or asked whether we would like to order anything else. Instead, staff repeatedly came to our table with the bill, even bringing the wrong bill the first time, making us feel rushed and unwelcome. The café was nearly empty, yet we received some of the poorest service I've experienced in New York or New Jersey. I still don't understand why we were treated differently, but the combination of poor communication, unfriendly service, and overpriced food made for a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I would not return and would not recommend this café to others.

The owner, Denise, was lovely and a pleasure to chat with. It happened to be their one year anniversary just yesterday. Planning to come back and enjoy the other goodies I saw the next time I'm in Ridgewood.

A Hidden Gem You Can't Miss!…read more I stumbled upon this adorable local café by accident, and I'm so glad I did. It's a truly special spot that feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the usual chain coffee shops. The coffee is outstanding. Their cortado and flat white are perfectly crafted and some of the best I've had. We also tried the cold matcha with a squirt of strawberry syrup, which was absolutely delicious a perfect refreshing treat. The pastries are a highlight too; they are homemade and baked fresh on a "need-to-basis," so you know everything is made with care and never sits around. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It is incredibly dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us since we brought our furbaby along. He absolutely loved his "pupachino"! We were lucky enough to enjoy the beautiful weather on their outside seating area, which added to the lovely vibe. We even got to meet the owner, who was kind, warm, and welcoming, and the staff is equally friendly. It's rare to find a place with such genuine hospitality. Definitely make this your go-to spot before heading to Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. You won't regret supporting this wonderful local business!

I was greeted by a great staff member and the service was fast! I also came on a possibly less busier day. I tried the pistachio latte with macadamia milk. Unfortunately, it's the only reason I didn't put 5 stars! The drink was more coffee than non-dairy milk for a latte but I would go again to ask for that request! It possibly also could be the type of non dairy choice too. I also tried the vegan lemon olive oil cake slice and will definitely come back again for it; such a treat! (I wish it was less than $10 a slice!) I recommend for a quick stop and for coffee dates!

When you walk in, you order at the counter and then take a number to a table. We ordered the egg breakfast plate (eggs, toast, potato fritter, 2 pieces of bacon) and the spinach quiche with salad. The food felt like it could have been sitting on the counter for awhile since none of the elements were very hot. But the taste was good, especially the quiche and scrambled eggs. Their pastries were very photogenic but also pricey for the size (hence the trendy nature). There are many small tables and then a few large or medium ones. I would avoid this place on weekends and holidays when more people will venture here. On a weekday late morning, there were plenty of customers sitting with a coffee and working or chatting and enjoying a bite, but you could find a seat. There's someone who comes around to bus tables but you can also leave your plate or cup at the table. Many customers had perfectly coifed hair and were very put together, not the atmosphere that appeals to me. But many people like that. They have a small parking lot in the back but there's also paid street parking.
