Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best, especially given the price. And then there was the "croissant." I put that word in quotation marks because what arrived on my plate was less a croissant than a bread roll experiencing an identity crisis. A croissant is supposed to be a minor miracle of pastry engineering: dozens of buttery laminated layers, a crisp golden shell that shatters when you tear into it, and an airy, irregular honeycomb interior. You should finish one surrounded by enough flaky debris to require a small cleanup operation. This thing was pale, squat, dense, doughy, and almost completely devoid of discernible layers. The interior had all the airy honeycomb structure of a hot dog bun. It looked as though someone had taken a dinner roll, bent it into a crescent, pinched the ends, and hoped geometry would do the rest. There was no shattering crust. No honeycomb. No glorious buttery lamination. No shower of flakes. Just a soft crescent-shaped bread product that had apparently once heard a croissant described from another room. I have eaten spectacular croissants. I have eaten mediocre croissants. I have eaten mass-produced grocery-store croissants that, whatever their shortcomings, at least understood the assignment. This one appeared not to have read the syllabus. So: lovely patio. Potent cold brew. A perfectly pleasant place to sit for a while. But if pastry is the reason you're going, just make a U-turn. Photographic evidence attached. France, please accept my apologies.

For every purchase, they plant a Mangrove tree in Madagascar - the tree that produces a rare, sweet, and fast-crystallizing honey called mangrove honey. Their team serves up delicious lattes and breakfast items. I ordered the salted honey latte and a breakfast sandwich. Both items were yummy, but I'd return daily for that over easy sandwich topped with pesto. While they specialize in coffee, the storefront also acts as a storefront for all things honey. You'll find endless merch and tastings from all types of local honey. They also offer unique canned beverages, slices of pies, breakfast items, baked goods, etc.

In the weekend you'll know you found the spot if you miss the sign by the line of people at the door. Don't be discouraged by the line as it moves relatively fast.

I ordered a matcha and was quite pleased but it went down in so quickly. Ask for some honey with your match, as it makes all sorts of much better. As for sitting: there is a small area inside with tables. Plus tables outside with umbrellas or a rent. Nice to sit outside when it's cooler out or in the morning before the sun comes out. This place is a good alternative to chains. Support local places.

They also had some pastry's that were vegan and gluten free, breakfast items and acai bowls here too. The barista was friendly as well as the staff. Inside had plenty of seating with an outside patio. I got a hot chai with almond milk and my mom got a strawberry smoothie. When the order came up it was a hot matcha not a chai but they corrected the drink quickly. It was hot but it didn't give much of a chai taste, it was more milk than anything. My mom did like her smoothie tho, organic and no added sugar. I did see some people with acai bowls, may have to stop by again and try something different.

As someone who has traveled to Europe many times and tried a variety of local chocolatiers there,…read morethe huge stream of 5-star reviews (and finding out the owners were French) had me ecstatic. However, my experience was disappointing. The two girls in the shop were almost asleep. One was barely conscious, the other was trying to make up for her. The chocolates looked very interesting, but they were rather dull-looking and often hard to differentiate because the display case had no lights. Add to this the already dim lighting of the store and that it was an overcast day outside, and it felt like trying to buy chocolates in an old library. As for the chocolates themselves, they did not taste like French/European chocolates at all; they had the very standard American chocolate taste-that is, Hershey-like and with no deep resounding real cacao flavor that is like bass from a speaker on your tongue. That's what real European chocolate tastes like. This was just sugar, sugar, sugar, and cute designs. Maybe they are using cheaper American ingredients rather than importing higher quality ones? No point in having the Eiffel Tower on your logo if you wouldn't be able to keep this store open in France. But the best part: the girl at the counter didn't let me try anything other than the three pre-selected types of bon bons on the sample tray! How cheap can you get? I've never had any chocolatier deny a sample of a simple truffle, especially not one with the gall to charge $3 per chocolate in a tiny town like Carp! $35 for a dozen, just to not even be able to try what you are putting in the box? You must be joking. Anyways, onto trying to find another good chocolatier in the 805...

If you love small batch, hand-made, top quality and innovative marriage of flavors of chocolates....this is the place you should make your pilgrimage to.
