It's also fun to watch them making donuts right behind the glass in the store. Since there are not to many people inside at any one time and two people behind the counter they are very attentive. I also had a specialty coffee which they make on the spot. There is a great selection of fresh and delicious speciality doughnuts and a "Donut of the day" but we were too late for that. We left and continued our walk only to stop for a minute and use a pail as our table. These donuts are good.... I mean really good.

This place had a line outside the store to pick up baked goods for the day - and I see why! We started by trying the Ham and cheese croissant - custard croissant and chocolate croissant: each one was eyeball-rolling-to-the-back-of-your-head phenomenal. The guy that pre-opens the store (e.g. sets out the chairs on the patio an hour before they truly open) isnt the friendliest - I asked if they were open upon seeing him one morning and his says "no" and just doesnt even look up at me. After tasting their goodies and seeing that line, I am sure he gets asked that a million times every day, so I try not to hold his "not morning person" attitude against him. This was a fantastic spot to pick up and run (it is quite small if you're looking to stay and eat here though). Make sure to order any and everything there: we wished we had more time so we could have eaten more of their delicacies!
