They don't allow any samples, so we decided to get one unique flavor (Peach Caramel) and one basic one (Chocolate). The peach caramel was surprisingly very good, but the chocolate wasn't rich enough and tasted like cheap grocery store ice cream.

They do let you sample flavors. The ice cream was delicious, my only regret was not tasting more flavors! You can get 2 flavors in your order. So many too choose from, it's a hard call. When we arrived the line was down the block and my kid didn't want to wait but the line moved rather quickly (they have a good process in place) keeping things moving!

I did try a few samples, but most of them aren't exactly for me. I also wanted a flavor that would complement well with the black sesame. That flavor ended up being earl grey. It was perfect. They balance each other well. My coworker recommended this place. He did warn me that the line is long, but it moves fast! He was right. I do have to say I LOVE their paper cone shape for the ice cream. It's smart. It holds the ice cream. It prevents us from accidentally pushing the top scoop off the cone.

We came here on our anniversary to get some cake to celebrate after eating across the street at the Graudate and were loving the vibe of Belle Journee with all the twinkle lights, big signs and pastries lining the walls. It looks very similar to the set up of Au bon pain. I'm actually shocked to read it is a Korean shop because they mostly were selling French baked goods. We got this gorgeous chocolate double tiered tiny cake. It almost reminded me of a mini wedding cake. Well, we went in to take a bite and it was just so dry. We went on to the bottom layer and it was a very thick chocolate cake that was so hard it was barely edible. I don't know if this is a particular style of cake and I just ordered something I did not like, but I am not a fan. I may give this place another shot.

Service was standard, they did help me pick out their seasonal drink. The cold brew was ok. It had a splash of milk and fruit flavor. It didn't leave a lasting impression on me.

But I do sometimes forget that they are also a cafe and the perfect spot, if you can find a table, to take out your laptop and get some work! I stopped in while in Princeton for work and not only needed wifi but needed sustenance. I got the Far East Salad, one of my recent faves, and an iced matcha latte and took a seat on their little wall of stairs. -Wifi was strong -Matcha latte was refreshing and delicious -Far East salad was soooo good! I love the crunch broccoli, the flavorful tofu, the dressing. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend. The team is friendly and fast and brings the food right over to you.

It was honestly a chilly day on the day we went so these hot lattes really hit the spot. The staff was so nice and accommodating to all of our questions and they have beautiful stickers and other merchandise from local artist that you can purchase at the front. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try any of their pastries, which I see them posting on Instagram all the time. But I will definitely be back to try more drink drinks and all the different pastries that they have to offer! If you're looking for a quiet cozy café, this is 100% a place you need to stop by!!
