I really wanted to like this place, which is why I gave it a second chance. Unfortunately, both visits were disappointing, and the issues were consistent enough that I don't plan on returning. First visit: We came on a Thursday morning when the restaurant wasn't very busy, yet the service was incredibly slow. It took a long time for us to be greeted and even longer for our orders to be taken. We each ordered a drink, but they didn't arrive until after we had already finished our meals. Which also took a while to come out. At that point I no longer wanted mine, I didn't even like it when it finally arrived and did not drink it. It was still left on the bill without any acknowledgment. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was the highlight, it was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and served hot. The waffle, however, was so overcooked that it was hollow and airy inside when cut into it. I also ordered a side biscuit with sausage gravy. The biscuit was dry, and the gravy was bland and lacked flavor. Second visit: Hoping the first experience was just an off day, we came back. We both ordered the steak and eggs, requesting our steaks medium rare. Mine came out grey and rare, while my friend's came out overcooked. We sent both back. My replacement steak then came back overcooked, and the smashed potatoes were dry and overdone as well. The only compensation offered for multiple incorrectly cooked meals was a cookie. On a positive note, we also ordered a pancake to share, and it was actually really good. The service also fell short again. Our server wasn't attentive, forgot our straws, rarely refilled our waters, and after we sent the steaks back, it felt like we were being avoided. We weren't given any updates on the delay, and by the time the server finally checked back to ask how everything was, we were already halfway through eating. We let him know the steak still wasn't right, but at that point we were tired of waiting and just wanted to finish. To top it off, I ordered a cortado and was served a cappuccino instead. I understand that every restaurant can have an off day, which is exactly why I came back. Unfortunately, after two visits, the recurring issues with service, food quality, order accuracy, and the lack of any meaningful effort to make things right left me really disappointed. There are definitely a few things on the menu with potential, but based on my experiences, I can't recommend this restaurant.

Had to check out this restaurant since I live in the neighborhood. The cinnamon roll was melt in your mouth. The Romeo and Juliet (guava) pastry was a little tart for me but still good. The biscuits and gravy were really flavorful!! However, my husband breakfast burrito was very basic and not very impressive. The service was exceptional, although we were the only people in the restaurant at the time since it was early morning. The decor inside is tasteful and classic. They have a lot of outdoor seating as well.

Really loved discovering this little spot! A friend of mine recently moved into the neighborhood and wanted to check it out. I'm sure on a weekend, it's probably a lot busier, but it has a classic diner vibe. We got a mix of donut holes, which came out hot from the fryer, and we were able to get both dipping sauces and both were delicious. My eggs Benedict was tasty; the eggs were cooked perfectly and the croissant was fluffy and crunchy. The potatoes were so good - I loved that they were a mix of yellow, purple, and red potatoes. Our server was very sweet and made sure my coffee cup never got below half.

I have never seen pastries that are so beautifully made! And they taste like a dream too. We had breakfast here and though the wait for food was long, the food was worth it!! Our server Andre was very friendly and fun to talk to. We went back the next day to just get pastries to take home so feel free to judge me for going two days in a row! Pricing was reasonable, seating indoors and outdoors is a nice opinion

Was sending stuff out at the post office and thought I would give this new spot a try. I was very happy I did. The place has a mod feel to it and has table seating inside and out. There is also one large community table in the center. Staff is friendly and gave the right amount of space to enjoy the meal. My breakfast order was delicious (tried the traditional American with a biscuit), had an iced Americano and a fresh squeezed juice. Not sure what spices they place into the potatoes but they were delicious. The pastry display shouldn't be skipped. Ended up taking home fresh made donut holes and some of their other pastries. Had one after dinner and it was delicious. It also has a bar with a decent number of offerings and speciality cocktails. I didn't have any on this visit. I hope to see this place thrive as the atmosphere and food are great. I asked the waiter and they said weekends get very busy so be prepared for a crowd then but it makes for a nice low key weekday spot to go to with friends or even alone.

I got the kimchi fried rice for brunch this morning. It was so flavorful and delicious! The service was great. Our server was able to thoughtfully accommodate our son with a diary allergy. They have high chairs and water cups with lids for the kids. They have a couple of kids menu options as well.

I had been wanting to check out this place for awhile! I was finally in the area and checked it out! It's in Park Hill near Central Park! Their smashed breakfast potatoes were SO delicious, hearty, and plentiful! I also ordered toasted sesame waffle and some chicken sausage with black coffee. I sat at the counter. There was plenty of restaurant seating both indoor and outdoor. Warm smiles were received from the staff as well as friendly conversation. It was early morning and not too busy yet. I loved the sun coming into the restaurant and shining on my food on the counter. It feels spacious inside with a coffee cafe walkup area as well as the seated area. I got a few biscuits to take home with me as well! The menu is very eclectic with interesting international flavors! I will be back to try more!

This is a lovely restaurant that serves as a perfect community meeting place, offering a beautiful bar where you can also sit. This bright and sunny location will be a place I will love to bring friends. The food is delicious and presented beautifully. Our server, Jonathan, was exceptional and very informative. The parking is easy on the side streets. The indoor and outdoor seating offers many options such as a private dining area, community table, booths, tables, and all the chairs are comfortable. I love the neighborhood location! La Croissanterie is located inside Ruby's and provides the pastries, coffees, teas, and pressed juices. These pastries are melt-in-your-mouth amazing! This is a great idea and concept of brunch all day!

I wanted to five star this place because it's so cute and in a great neighborhood but unfortunately the service wasn't great (and it wasn't that packed) and the food was slightly above average. BY FAR the best thing about this place are their yummy croissants! Those get a 10 out of 10 for sure. I did swap the potatoes for a fresh salad and the dressing was also yummy. As a self proclaimed eggs benny expert I'll give this one 8.1 out of 10.

I recently visited this spot for the first time, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. Upon letting the waiter know it was our first visit, I began asking questions about the menu, but before I could even finish, he started putting my order in. Even after I mentioned that I wanted to check with my husband first, he proceeded to enter my order. When he came back to me, I informed him I hadn't made my decision yet and needed to figure out my order. He had to go all the way back to the kitchen to cancel it, which was already off to a frustrating start. I also asked the waiter if the chicken sandwich was made with white or dark meat, and he didn't know, so he had to go ask in the kitchen. When he came back, he informed me it was dark meat, so I decided to cancel it and ordered the American breakfast instead.The American breakfast consisted of eggs, your choice of bacon, chicken sausage, or turkey sausage, and either toast or a biscuit. My husband had the same, but with chicken sausage, while I opted for bacon. Unfortunately, the biscuits were cold, served with even colder butter and thawed-out frozen strawberries. My eggs even had pieces of rice in them, which was pretty off-putting. My husband's mushroom gravy was more like watered-down broth than anything else. A few other things added to the disappointment. Since when does a chicken sandwich come with thigh meat instead of breast? And when I was trying to change my order and ask about the menu, the waiter gave me an attitude, almost as if he didn't have time for any of my questions. Also, my husband asked for coffee, and when it came, he had to ask for cream. The server mentioned the cream would take sometime low, and when it finally arrived, he just dropped it on the table with the stirrers. No effort to make the experience feel welcoming or thoughtful. The atmosphere was decent, with a DJ playing music, but honestly, that couldn't make up for the lackluster service and food. When we were finished, the waiter suggested we come back another day for a better experience, which just felt like an excuse for the poor service we received today. It's disappointing, because no matter how new or established a place is, the experience and the quality of food should always be top-notch. There should never be excuses for why something doesn't taste good or why your service isn't up to par. Sadly, I won't be sharing this location as one to dine at.

The pastries were gorgeous and flew out of the case. I arrived for our reservation and there was one pistachio croissant left. I had my eye on it and had every intention on getting it but the person in front of the got it and it was the last one. So sad! The Bloody Marys were good and the food was good too. The service was intentionally slow but friendly. I loved the music from the DJ. Everyone enjoyed their food and we had a nice time. Good but not great. Maybe the pastry would have but it over the top for me. Cute little neighborhood spot.

Delicious! Super buttery and flaky freshly baked croissants! Everyone was very friendly and attending, and even helped me celebrate my mom's birthday. We were going to pickup the croissants but the place had such cute vibes we opted to sit in the associated restaurant. It was a cold snowy day so we were offered hot water instead of the standard cold water, which was much appreciated. Made it feel more cozy and homely.

Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Jonathan was our server today, so friendly... spoke with the GM behind the bar the day before, just amazing wait staff and experience. The croissants are insane... worth getting up early to get before the sell out! If you're in the area, this is a must. Had their steak and eggs, avocado toast, everything was excellent!
