But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.

Everything was perfect. Perfect techniques. Perfect flavors and such robust flavors and textures. I was so impressed. I wish I could eat more right now, everyday. The most tomatoey focaccia. The most vanilla and crispy yet soft flakey Kouign Ammon. The most garlicky knot. The most tart & chocolatie almond croissant. Can't say enough.

Expect to wait a minimum of 30-45mins everytime you come here. This shop is known for their famous…read morefoccacia sandwiches. They also sell unique seasonal pastries too. These are the things I've gotten: Bacon and Chive Focaccia (5/5): I would get this anytime they have it available because it's a warm focaccia with cheesy spread loaded with crispy bacon and sausage with chives. The bread is bouncy and the perfect amount of dough with the savory bacon and sausage. The chives gives it a freshness. Beware they sell this at 10am and runs out FAST. Like 30-1 hr fast and they don't make anymore for the rest of the day lol. Or at least I've went 3 times here and the 2 times they sold out by 11am and the one time I've gotten it, it was 10:15am. Beef and Arugula Focaccia (4.5/5): If you can't grab a bacon and chive focaccia then this is their next BEST one! It comes on a sea salt focaccia that's loaded with slices of thin beef, caramelized red onions, arugula, and slathered with a good horseradish mayo spread that coats the greens. This is delicious! Listen it didn't look appetizing but this one the taste over looks and it was one of the most flavorful sandwiches I had. The horse radish mayo gives it a nice punch! The beef was so tender. Turkey and Pesto Focaccia (4/5): This was loaded with turkey slices, slathered with a generous pesto spread, and had kale that seemed like it was seasoned lightly with olive oil or a tangy vinaigrette. This worked very well with the focaccia which soaked it all in and the kale was perfectly tender and balanced out the saltiness from pesto and turkey. Safe choice for sure! Corn Cake (5/5): You must get this pastry if it's your first time here or anytime you want a sweet treat. I honestly think this is their best dessert ever and would get it everytime. It's a moist, chewy on the inside brown butter corn cake that tastes like corn bread mixed with brownie texture if you get what I mean. The outside is crunchy while inside is perfectly chewy and moist. Love this! Vanilla Kouign Amann (4.5/5): They do their Kouign Amanns close to perfection here. Theirs comes with the infamous caramelized sugar bottom and the inside is nice and fluffy with layers of buttered croissant like bread. Well done! Double Chocolate Croissant (2/5): This was not good as when I bit into the pastry it was flat and soft. Not a good chewiness or flakiness at all.

The olive focaccia in particular was excellent: crispy on the outside, soft and airy inside, and packed with flavor. They also rotate other flavored foccacias that come out closer to lunch, which honestly gives you a reason to come back later in the day. The almond croissant was solid too, flaky and well-balanced without being overly sweet. They also sell giant chocolate chip cookies the size of your face- cool for the wow factor, and it's a 3.5/5 for flavor and texture- I wouldn't get again. The "raisin croissant" was a letdown. It's really more like soft swirled bread than an actual croissant, so adjust expectations accordingly. They also have a raspberry-filled croissant if you like filled breads. Seating inside is very limited- basically just a tiny high-top situation. Warning, it gets pretty busy on weekend mornings (line crawls down the block sometimes!).

Had a lovely conversation with each of the members just very naturally and was so pleased by how good all the food was. I got a cardamom bun, I believe a Tunisian egg salad sandwich, a ginger snap cookie, and an iced oat Matcha. Left the bakery to have a taste to my morning haul. This cardamom bun was SEXY- literally the best I've ever tasted in my life... Genuinely glad to be alive today to experience that bun so balanced- sweet and savory, hardy, yet fluffy all in one. The egg salad sandwich was also excellent and super filling - such great contrast and flavoring from the crisped bread to the egg salad itself. Ginger snap cookie was freaking delicious and so soft. And the iced matcha was very interesting and had this unique tangy flavor, but I actually enjoyed with simple syrup, which I think balanced out the tang.
