The first time I went with my daughter on a Saturday in July and we got there around 10:45am and there was a decent 15 minute line. By the time we got inside and had a look at the bakery case there wasn't a lot of choices. We got an almond croissant and a spinach feta tart. Also got an iced jasmine latte which was surprisingly good- slightly floral and not overly sweet. I'm always on the lookout for a good almond croissant. Unfortunately the almond croissant did not live up to expectations. Not the worst I've had- I liked the filling but the bottom layers looks like it suffered from failed lamination. It was one layer and overly baked. The layers on the tart were better and the flavors were great. On our second visit we got there at 8:30am on a Saturday and had way more selection: chocolate almond croissant, pain aux currant, sour cherry and pistachio croissant, morning bun. Chocolate croissant was better than the almond croissant cause chocolate pretty much makes everything taste better but not sure the layers on the bottom were any better. My favorite was the cherry and pistachio croissant. Lots of flavor and puff pastry was done well. The morning bun was good, but it was nothing special. Disappointing bc was expecting something great. My other favorite was the.pain aux currants. I went with several family members the second time and we all agreed our favorites were the sour cherry and pistachio croissant as well as the pan aux currants. Staff was friendly and helpful on both our visits. Parking can be a challenge, but you should be able to find something as long as you're up for a walk. No steps needed to get in the place so handicap friendly but seating inside is kinda limited but decent for the size of the place. There's also a few outdoor tables but there's no shade.

The wait staff were nice and checked in with us throughout service. They were busy, and we did have to ask again for a couple things we asked for when we ordered. Seeing as they were busy, it was understandable. The parking can be difficult to find, but it's not too bad on most days. I ordered a swiss mushroom burger with onion rings on the side, a coke and a mexican mule. I liked the burger, especially the onion rings! I would probably ask for the mushrooms to be a little bit more caramelized though. Serving size was filling and the drink was perfectly strong. They have an extensive menu, and I would love to come back to try more dishes! The cafe decor is retro, and it makes the restaurant feel nostalgic. I think it's great for a group hang if you have a large group, too. There was a big group there when I was there and a few smaller groups of people.
