This place is fantastic. The little town of Hull is very lucky to have a coffee…read moreshops/restaurant/bakery that could rival any of any of the big city's. The pastries are made with the best ingredients. The individual chocolate cake is incredible. It's a perfect companion to anyone of their coffee selections. My favorite is Raspberry Mocha and believe me it goes with anything here! The coffee tastes fresh, clear and smooth. Not too far from my freshly roasted coffee beans cup of coffee I have before heading out the door in the morning. The breads are great too, there are new varieties baked everyday. I did have one loaf which was under baked or perhaps not left long enough to let the gluten set. Speaking of gluten, they do not have any gluten free bread yet, but I'm sure that one will come along shortly. All in all a wonderful addition to the great city of Hull!

Last month Le Meilleur opened in Hull, Iowa. This place is a wonderful surprise in Northwest Iowa…read more My standard of living just went up! Thus far I've had San Francisco sourdough, buckwheat cranberry bread, cappuccino, café au lait and the house coffee. Both breads have had wonderfully crusty exteriors with just the right amount of chewiness and moistness on the interior. The sour dough was as good as any I have ever had - and I worked in San Francisco for a while. The coffee drinks have been perfect. The display case is full of gorgeous desserts, croissants, french macaroons, and more. The bread display behind had numerous types of breads. Not every kind of bread is made each day. I think that the sour dough and baguettes are made fresh every day. This place is an immediate favorite of mine. I can't believe there are not long lines - but maybe that will yet come. Please visit while it is still relatively unknown. This place should be a massive success! I want it to thrive and grow! The only downside thus far is that I do not yet have a line item in my budget for how much I would like to buy here.
