This third time I was picking up 18 pastries - 3 different types- all delicious and superbly baked AND a cake. WOW! The cake was amazingly beautiful! delicious and decorated exquisitely with huge intricate frosting flowers and leaves. I'm very very happy with my order- they even helped me carry it to the car. This bakery made my special family party a huge success, everyone enjoyed the food and remarked on how delicious it looked and tasted. Thank you SO much for making the event extra special

I don't even know where to begin... I came in for a pastry and left emotionally attached…read more Let's talk about the croissants. I had not one, but TWO -- and I regret absolutely nothing. The raspberry pistachio croissant? Oh. My. God. This thing had me in a chokehold. Flaky, buttery layers with the perfect balance of tart raspberry and rich pistachio. It wasn't just good -- it was write-home-about-it good. The kind of pastry that makes you pause mid-bite and question every other croissant you've ever had. The second was a croissant sandwich (I wish I could remember the name!), but the way those flavors paired together? Let's just say it was a full culinary experience. Savory, balanced, indulgent -- you get the hint. Every bite just made sense. Now here's the part that really says something: I grew up on the East Coast where authentic French bakeries are everywhere and the cultural standard is high. I know a proper croissant. And this? This was better. Yes, I said it. We even had the chance to speak with the owner, who was incredibly warm and genuine. He checked in to make sure we enjoyed everything -- which we clearly did, considering we left with boxes to take home. This place isn't just a pastry shop. It's an experience. And trust me, it will be a topic of discussion in our house for days. Run. Don't walk.

BUT. We loved the pick-your-own pastry layout! Food and drinks were fantastic!! (Hopefully this was a case of one person's poor attitude on a single day. Since everything else was so good, I'd like to think that one issue is the easiest to change.). We will go back!

It's supposed to be similar to a Twix bar, but it's way better than any candy bar. It is rich, and you'll want to split it between two people. 5/5 stars. Chocolate Chip Cookie with Fleur de Sel - $6 - The cookie was good. Chip amount was decent, always had a bite of chocolate. My husband really loved the cookie too. 5/5 stars. The cookbook costs $89, and first I scoffed at it thinking how good could this possibly be? Well, I'm stupid, and apparently I should have just bought the cookbook. Even if it only teaches me how to make Millionaire Cake, that cookbook is worth it. The interior is beautiful. Every detail was accounted for. It's very Hallmark. This is a true dessert place I'd be happy to spend money at. You must try it.

This well-maintained, upscale establishment has an amazing selection of sweet and savory options. The staff are friendly and attentive. After two visits, we've sampled their tiramisu, triple chocolate cake, key lime pie, entremet hazelnut praline, cannoli, palmier cookie, Nutella & wild berry occhi de bue pastries, and their wonderful hot chocolate. So far, there has not been a selection we wouldn't gladly choose again on a future visit. If one wants to treat oneself (which should be done regularly...especially if one has achieved an advanced age); this location provides an excellent opportunity.

Yesterday, I decided that I would not be cooking dinner and instead opted to order pizza and dessert to be picked up on my way home. This is such a cute, quaint little shop located in a tiny strip mall next to a gas station. So very unassuming, yet quite impressive. I loved the two cute yellow tables and chairs out on the sidewalk as well as the Sinatra that was playing when I entered the shop. I was greeted warmly and let me say how much I value a pleasant and genuine interaction like that. Someone came to the front of the store from the kitchen in the back, and she too greeted me with a very welcoming and warm smile. This fact alone makes me want to return and support this place of business. My pizzas were prepared fresh and handed to me hot out of the oven. The deserts, an assortment of 3 different kinds of cookies as well as two slices of cake, were kept separate and cold. My husband loved the pizza (he is somewhat of a connoisseur) and I enjoyed it as well. The carrot cake was a bit dense for my liking and the pistachio ricotta was decadent. My husband really enjoyed these sweet treats as a night cap! I loved the cookies. I ordered the Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl cookie, the Pistachio Chocolate Crunch cookie, and two of the Pistachio Thumbprint cookies. My personal favorite was the Pistachio Chocolate Crunch cookie. It had a great contrast in texture with the soft-baked cookie being perfectly complemented by the crunch of the pistachio pieces, and it wasn't overly sweet. I'll definitely be back to try more cookies, cakes and pastries in the future! They also carry some authentic imported Italian products, such as pomodoro sauce.
