We chose a mini lemon fruit tart, croissant, palmier, and some kind of cream-filled choux. The croissant was our favorite with perfect buttery layers. Nothing else stood out in particular, but everything was fresh and well-made. Prices were reasonable. There's no seating in the bakery, which is to be expected in Italy, but there is outdoor seating a short walk across the street. On a nice day, it's really quite lovely sitting outside and people-watching while you enjoy your pastries.

This place has the cutest atmosphere and the decor is super cute! I love the sky like ceiling with the swings hanging down (you can actually swing on them) and the colorful textured chairs.

I also tried hazelnut but didn't like it. My friends had pistachio and crepe brûlée. Another had lemon and chocolate! Cute and chic sums this place up! :)

As you step in, you catch the aromas of baked breads, cookies, and pastries. There is a line, and you just have to be patient and wait for your turn.

Both of us have a deep love for Italian baked goods. Coming to Italy, we were fortunate enough to sample these scrumptious delights. When in Lucca, this is a must-stop to satiate your heart's desire for Italian baked goods. The ambiance is beautiful as it transports you to the old-time feeling, and their service is quick and very efficient.

The dolce foccacia also caught my eye and man oh man do I wish I got more/could find something so simple yet indulgent close to home. Guess I need to re-visit Lucca sooner rather than later.
