I went to Chaupain with my pregnant wife and, in a gesture of solidarity, also began eating for…read moretwo. We went gloriously overboard: the open-faced salmon lox sandwich, strawberry evalope, chocolate Elfroy , and mille-feuille. The salmon sandwich was fresh and flavorful, though the cream could have been ever so slightly thicker and the ciabatta bread slightly more toasted. The strawberry evalope and chocolate Elroy were terrific: delicately crisp croissants, butter beautifully balanced, and fillings/toppings sweet but thankfully restrained from becoming sugar bombs. But the mille-feuille was utterly incredible and the reason to write this review. It was like the perfect vanilla ice-cream cone flavor transformed into 1000 crispy, buttery, flaky layers, with a restrained custard that let every texture and flavor shine. I'm not even a vanilla fan and it was pure joy. A transcendent pastry experience--and worth every calorie we pretended not to count. Five stars. As the owner of a Mom and Pop cabinetry store, I have to congratulate Sami and Sarah, you guys are crushing it!!

I don't fully get the hype of the soft serve craze here bu the ice cream bars and bananas are where it's at. This place is always busy but they really keep this line cranking.

My husband and I shared the L'Omelette Paysanne (comes with onions,bacon or ham, potatoes) and L'Omelette Moulin (chicken pesto and mushrooms).

There is indoor and outdoor seating. We went for breakfast, and even though we went right when they opened at 8 am, the croissants didn't taste quite as fresh and buttery as expected. They looked correct and had plenty of flakes. Mine would have been better if I had spooned in some jam. Note that we came on a weekend with unusual tropical humidity, and that surely affects baking. If I were to come again, I would come for some of the lunch items or try a baguette.
