Everything is always fresh and beautifully displayed, the space is clean and welcoming, and the staff is attentive and efficient even when it's busy. Whether you're grabbing something quick to go or sitting down to enjoy a coffee and pastry, there's plenty of room and it never feels chaotic. It's one of those places that's stood the test of time for a reason -- consistent, authentic, and always delicious.

They recommend favorites of theirs and each time make perfect choices to add new favorites to my family's list. I truly recommend this fabulous bakery.

I didn't know what I wanted and they were more than patient. First time I got the Passion Fruit Mousse and the Portuguese egg tarts, origin I was iffy about the tart but after another bite I was in awe. It was perfection. It was so good I had to go back the next day and try something new. This time I had the pistachio croissant which is super moist and a good balance of sweetness, not overbearing what so ever. If it wasn't so many people I would have sat down and ate because it was a cute intimate space. They also had another open side full of tables, which you could sit in if the front is too packed for you. I was just ready to go. But I'm also ready to return.

We (two) started with delicious lattes, and then shared the great shrimp soup, a lovely omelette with several add-ons, and a fresh salad with several add-ons. I liked table #10 for the view of both rooms & the action. Nice looking clientele & flow, and clean rest-room. I picked up a couple of brownies, to go, (already wrapped for my grabbing convenience) for my house-mates. Nice a al carte build-your-own scenario, but all that adds up! (Computerized from the table to the kitchen, so there were no mistakes [although they need to update the prices on the (good-looking) website]). I am ambivalent about the "gratuity" [sic] (for table service) being added in (but I wanted to [did] give more than the 15% anyway). I live a little in the past about prices and "worth." It's a little more $ -- but nicer/better -- than a diner (so it was a more special / treat). I think that they have a pasta special on one day of the week... feijoada on another day... and "brunch" on Sundays. I really enjoyed the whole experience--and definitely plan to return...!

I always have a sweet tooth and wanted to give this spot a try. When I arrived I had to double park…read morebecause parking is terrible in this area. I walked in and was greeted. The spot was super cute. I asked the lady a couple of questions about the desserts and the one I went with is the lime pie. It came to a little under $7 for a small slice. It's a tad pricey at this location. I paid and left. When I got home I tasted and it was a tasty pie. It was the right amount of flavor throughout. I had a pretty decent experience.

You know it's a real deal Italian bakery when they don't fill the cannolis until you order them! Prices are reasonable for what you get. The only down side, if you can call it that, is it can get pretty crowded, especially a day or so before a major holiday, and on those occasions parking can be a bit difficult. So, come early on such days. This place has never disappointed me, and I've been coming here for the better part of forty years.
