I love whatever brand of coffee they brew, and the variety and quality of the pastries blew me away. Metered parking, and there's a metered lot one block away. Sourdough donut was fantastic, reminiscent of a sweet bagel. I loved the concept. Plenty of searing inside and two outdoor tables.

Wow OK, I just sort of stumbled onto this place and its AWESOME…read more The first thing you will see is an array of fresh donuts. That includes sourdough donuts, which are no easy thing to make. I had one on my second visit and very much recommend them. That second visit also include a spicy egg sandwich. I got a very large brick of eggs with spicy mayo (and I think pickled jalapenos?) on a fresh croissant. So good and I was full for hours. The first time around I picked up a few pastries and a coffee for my wife. Everything was a hit. The coffee and tea menu is actually quite extensive. I appreciate that this bakery has pictures of just about everything on the menu up on the walls. It makes it much easier to pick something out. I will absolutely be spreading the word about this place. I will be stopping in whenever Le Carre is closed.

Today is Mother's Day and my wife wanted Avocado Toast and some strawberry shortcake…read more I'd been to the cute and quaint Cafe Trois before, knowing they have good food. I got Avo' toast, a French Toast breakfast, a piece of strawberry shortcake. The line was bananas. I mean it was out the door by 10:00 am. That said, my food came relatively quickly, all things considered, and most importantly... it was correct and all there. The tall Latte I got was great, too. Give Cafe Trois a try next time you're in the area!

Everything is made fresh daily in their kitchen in back. I come here a few times a month, usually for baguettes and whatever else catches my eye! Their chocolate croissants (pain au chocolat if you want to be technical) are so buttery and flaky, just what I'm looking for. My brother usually orders the almond croissant and devours it almost instantly. I do try to call in advance for the baguettes because they're such a hot commodity! Usually she sells out super early in the day and has another batch baking to be ready by mid afternoon. Sometimes I stop in and let her know how many i would like to reserve, and sometimes I'll call ahead. I love that she always makes sure to put them aside so I know they'll be there when I arrive!

At 5 bucks , and the rating this has on Yelp , I expected the croissant at the minimum to be good tasting . Sadly, this was easily one of the worst croissants I've ever had . The almond croissant was very hard to pull apart , not very flaky if at all and the taste was blandish and just not up to even the mid tier standards . If I compared this to any other almond croissant I've had in other bakeries especially those that are French inspired , this would be a complete joke . This is sorta the level you'd find in a Costco multipack .Also, if you're coming here for coffee , the options are very limited to drip and maybe one or two flavor lattes so it's pretty much exclusively a makeshift bakery. The baker who I presume was the owner as well was exceptionally kind and welcoming so something in me wants me to try give it another go with possibly another option.

The bakery is charming and you can tell that the people who work and own the place really do love bread. You can taste it! Beyond that, the workers are kind and talkative.

Relatively thin, crust wasn't overly thick, GREAT flavor (especially the Buffalo Chicken) and good crunch.

Lots of sliced beets and sliced grilled chicken. The honey mustard dressing was the perfect dressing for this salad. + Kids Rigatoni Bolognese - Very good bolognese. There was plenty of meat sauce and it was very tasty. Our kids absolutely loved it. + Menu consist of not only a variety of pizza, but also a nice selection of appetizers, strombolis, calzones, sandwiches and pastas. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Excellent all around service. ++++ Every employee was super friendly and asked if we needed help as we were figuring out what to order. ++++ Waiters came by multiple times to check up on us. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior with lots of tables and chairs. + The restaurant is connected to Al Dente, which is a pasta restaurant next door. It seems both restaurants operate as a single restaurant even though they both have their own names. + Private parking lot is shared with other businesses and it gets bussssy on summer weekends. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- = Dine-in customers steadily streamed in and out on a July Friday evening at 6 PM, but business was reallllllly booming for takeout as many customers came in to pick up orders of pies.
