Located off the main road in downtown Saratoga, this small cafe and bakery comes with a big…read morebragging rights to live up to. I first heard about this place when Bobby Flay mentioned it as one of his favorite places to eat in Saratoga. When I heard that, I knew it had to be one of my stops when I was in town. Not only is this one of his favorite restaurants, he even had the chef on his show Beat Bobby Flay. During peak season, it can get pretty busy as the space is small. They don't take reservation or call ahead to get on the list but once on the list they will take down your number and text you when your table is ready, giving you time to wander around other spots to fill the time. So is it worth the wait, heck yes! We went early during Belmont week so fortunately we didn't have to wait too long. We got the zucchini bread platter, lemon ricotta pancakes (as seen on Beat Bobby Flay), and the Saratoga sandwich. The pancakes were so simple yet delicious. The zucchini bread was tasty but a little too toasted/grilled for me. The sandwich was hearty and filling but wouldn't be my go to (not a huge breakfast person). Overall worth a visit especially if you have a sweet tooth and love breakfast vibes in a cute little restaurant,

We finally got the time to go out and try this place and were underwhelmed for the usual amount of…read morewait time there is here. Seating is crowded, service--while overall nice--was rude when it came to the server we got. She may have been having a bad day, but definitely ended up taking it out on us. Ended up making us feel very unwelcome to the point we decided it was better to try and just get going. The granola was stale alongside the underripe blackberries in the parfait we'd ordered. Had an eye for something sweetly comforting and the food just doesn't match up. Overall, for the wait it has, it's not worth the mediocre food inside. Also, unrelated, but not exactly a place to stop by, get some coffee, and read as you'd maybe look for in a café. So if that's what you're looking for, I'd recommend elsewhere.

Now that we've got THAT out of the way, how come the ratings for it on Yelp are near one extreme or the other? That's a good question. I suggest you try it yourself since the odds seem to be in favor of a very satisfying experience. I can confirm that ours was very positive. We arrived about one hour before their 5PM closing on a Saturday. We did not expect there to be many baked goods left at that hour, but we had heard good things about the place and wanted to at least check it out as we passed through the village. The place is very attractive inside which explains why so many of the photos on Yelp are of the interior instead of the food. Not yet being aware of this fact, I too started taking photos of the inside almost immediately upon arrival. There was one worker still on duty and he was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the baked goods. We learned that they open at 7AM and the croissants sell out quickly. It doesn't seem like we'll every get to experience them. Among the pastries that were available, we chose a "cinnamon roll" that looked like no other I'm familiar with, a "snail" (which looked very much like the cinnamon roll with a coiled, spiral shape) with an almond filling, and a slice of a spinach and feta cheese quiche that we were informed had just come out of the oven. It must have been made for the next day's sale. All of this was taken home for enjoyment after dinner. All of it was delicious. The dough for the cinnamon roll and the snail was the same. I believe it is supposed to be similar to the dough used for a croissant. But it was not as flakey as I would expect a croissant to be or as buttery. This might be due to the construction of these two pastries. Being rolled into coils they don't have the opportunity to rise like a croissant. The quiche was light and flavorful. Hopefully, we may some day need to pass through at a much earlier hour.

I really hate leaving a bad review, particularly since our first experience here last year was…read morereally good. However, our experience this morning was anything but good, and I'd actually say this was the worst breakfast I've had in years. I ordered what is called the Benedict Maddie which is their take on eggs Benedict. This is my go-to breakfast and their version was nearly inedible. From substituting the English muffin with a brioche bun that can't stand up to the moisture of the eggs and became a stodgy mess of sickly sweet pudding to the curdled and flavorless hollandaise that left me feeling sick afterward. Adding insult to injury was upcharging for ham that is a core ingredient of eggs Benedict. This was absurd given that already astounding prices they charge. Sides were potatoes which were okay, but it was also served with salad that I was suspect of given the current health issues with lettuce. My wife was equally disappointed with what was supposed to be a French omelette but turned out to be an overcooked, open face western omelette that was more like rubber than eggs. Her $9 blueberry smoothie was delicious though Service was slow with only two other tables occupied when we arrived, although our eventual server turned out to be quite pleasant. Coffee was never refilled and the bill for two people was just...well...arrogant. I guess this place really is French. The two stars are for the smoothie and our waiter. The rest is pretty forgettable.
