I didn't get a chance to visit one last time before I left and I'm kinda sad about it :T they had lots of good stuff, specialty in bread and chocolate I believe.

I'd been looking to try this place for months, with it's fancy looking pastries and super French…read morevibe. I was hoping and expecting to be able to have French quality again after having super flaky, melty croissants in France. I was a little disappointed, but still glad this place is near me and doing well despite being surrounded by a bunch of coffee shops. What disappointed me were the stalwart basics: both the croissant and pain au chocolat had extra tough and hard exteriors. The dough was way too dense. The bottom of the croissant layers were not able to separate and had an unpleasant doughy taste. The pain au raisin didn't taste remarkable at first but at the very end the buttery, custardy flavor finally hit my taste buds, which left me wanting more. The apricot pastry was also nice, caramelized almonds and a crunchy flaky base. Though I have to say all the pastries were over-baked and over-browned, likely one of the reasons for the tough exterior. Maybe I'll be more impressed with the bread the next time I visit.

For other American tourists reading this, Gail's is a UK coffee shop chain with something like 150+ locations, and it's fantastic! They have an extensive breakfast menu, with a bakery attached, making delicious fresh bites of all types, and I had no complaints on the coffee. There is outdoor and indoor seating available where plenty of students post up with their laptops for study sessions. Service was quick and friendly. We even met a Minnesotan running the register which was fun. Need a pick me up and a little bite? Check out Gail's!

It's a cute cafe with limited seating downstairs but quite a bit of seating upstairs. I've been there for both brunch and coffee (sometimes simultaneously), and I've always found everything up to standard. For brunch, I usually get the full English breakfast, but for drinks, I've tried their latte, matcha latte, and regular matcha. I liked all of them, but I wouldn't ask them to brew a pot of regular matcha again. The matcha sometimes clumps and doesn't quite mix well, which can make drinking it a bit effortful. Other than that though, I'd highly recommend Organic Deli. I will definitely be back, and if you haven't tried it for yourself, you should definitely pop by and check it out!

Clever, haha. We had the milk chocolate cookie, the orange and chocolate cookie and the peanut butter one. The cookies are not only super tasty but baked so well. Not overcooked so they are hard and dried but the perfect softness without being mushy. The peanut butter one was not over sweet so not a favorite one, hehe but like I said, the winning one is the orange, you can taste and smell it. The chocolate chunks are big, too. The girl helping us was so nice, too.

It's dark, and sometimes they cappuccino is great, and sometimes it's just burnt and bubbly. But Taylors next door serves a decent cup of Illy. It's just a good breakfast place. I usually love the eggs florentine if I'm going savory. However the portions are a bit on the small size for my brunch loving American self. Seems like a local trend here that french toast, although delicious, is a single thin slice of white bread. But at least they have plenty of pastries to top off with your meal. They also shine on cakes and cake decor. You normally have to order a day before, but their cakes are worth it. I ordered the Fraser cake for my husband's birthday and it was a hit with the whole family. Worth the walk for a morning bite.

They went so well with the crispy bacon and croissant. My experience while eating it was indescribable, and I was frantic at that time--walking briskly towards my next destination while holding shopping bags and a city map--so when the croissant omelette bacon forced me to take a moment to enjoy the flavors and texture of the food I was eating, I knew I had to write about it on Yelp. The canelé also stopped me dead in my tracks, only because I didn't recognize the spices/ingredients. It was my first time eating one, and it was a delight. I immediately wished I had bought two instead of one. The large pistachio macaron, I swear, gave me a mouthgasm. Oh... my... goodness, was it good! I mean, how can it not when it's pistachio-flavored AND huge? As for the Quiche Lorraine, I unfortunately waited too long to eat it, so it was cold and a bit stiff by the time I ate it. It was still good, but I know it could've been better warm. Customer service was satisfactory. The space of this place is a bit tight due to all the tables and chairs there. They prepare the coffee perpendicular and to the left of the pastries/cash register.
