You can see the bakers making bread in the back while waiting for your drink order. The pastries came out immediately, at payment stage. All I'll say is that this reminds me of famed Copenhagen bakery Andersen & Maillard with the detail on the pastries & the shop display. I couldn't contain my excitement to try my two baked goods while driving back home due to the rain. Both the matcha pastry and ham & cheese danish were simply too delicious!! I still haven't found a bakery in Austin that can live up to this level.

We just made a quick stop to grab boba, so I don't have much to say on the service. The boba itself was decent, but nothing special. The ambiance wasn't the best... not much decor, but it still felt welcoming and clean. It felt like more of a takeout type of spot. Not sure I'd go out of my way to come back, but nothing negative to report!

Whenever I'm visiting the Boston area, this place is a must visit. I always go for their cookies,…read morebut they also offer plenty of other baked goods. The cookies are all great, but my all time favorite here is the sesame cookies. They are so good. If you have one flavor of cookie that you like or would like to try, you can buy a bag with seven individually packaged two packs of that flavor inside. If you want to try them all, they sell cookie gift boxes with all of the flavors inside. The cookie box also makes for a great gift. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Ok, but a little disappointing. It must be difficult running a business like this and building a…read morefollowing. I got inspired by watching youtube to make a jambon buerre sandwich - supposedly a popular quick sandwich for Parisians. The sandwich is half a baguette with butter and French bistro ham. I tried searching all over for the French bistro ham with no luck. The only options were online sources with expensive shipping and/or expensive minimum order sizes. Somehow I stumbled upon MA-France nearby in Arlington and they sell jambon-buerre sandwiches. It's a small shop that sells sandwiches, pastries, and a small offering of French food products. Lots of pastries and baked goods like quiche, tarts, cookies, croissants, etc. The cheese offerings were very limited and basic. I can imagine that the cheeses that they sell are the same types and brands that they use for making sandwiches. For example, they sell President brand Brie - that you can also buy at Costco and market basket. Disappointing, but understandable because they can't afford to buy more variety and more expensive offerings without a big enough client base to buy those cheeses before they go bad. Getting back to the sandwich - it was half a baguette with some thick slices of butter and two pieces of French bistro ham. The bread was kind of dense and the crust was more chewy than crispy. I was disappointed that they didn't bother to spread the butter, but if they're not selling enough sandwiches then they're probably keeping the butter in the refrigerator - making it too difficult to spread. When I got home I fixed up the sandwich to my liking. Overall, the sandwich was okay, but not good enough to make me want to go back. At least I was able to solve my hunger for the jambon buerre sandwich.

Now it's quite underwhelming. The apricot croissant is now some smaller glorified danish that has no richness or personality. The plain croissant is quite "bready" now, whereas it used to be light and buttery. I have a sneaking suspicion that they have a different croissant supplier now. What saved this spot from a lower grade is that the pain au raisin and chausson aux pommes are passable. Also a save is that they still offer various French products, from soaps to cheeses to canned goods. I have to find a new French bakery in the area.

All have been great, except for the bagels (which were mediocre) and portokalopita (which was amazing, but only available on Saturdays). A bit pricey (their bagels are $3 each, compared to $1.65 at IGGY's, which has much bigger and in my view tastier bagels); perhaps to be expected from a Lexington establishment. One thing that's a bit frustrating is the limited selection of pastries. On most days, even if you get there by 11am, not much is left, and the variety isn't good to begin with. The exception is Saturdays. If the store owners are reading this, please increase the quantity and variety of your pastries!

No pumpkin wall this year, but they still had their apple cider donuts, caramel apples and photo ops. Don't forget to try their potato blasting (if you hit the ghost sign you get a free caramel apple)! Once you're inside, the store is decked out with beautiful autumnal decor & all their fresh goods. I'll have to come back sometime to try their bakery items because they all looked delish. Everything is very reasonably priced which is amazing considering most items are either homegrown or sourced from other local farms. The main downside is due to going viral there are so many visitors and traffic control is little to none. Come early if you can or just hope you get lucky with parking. Even with two lots, you can easily spend over 40 minutes looking for parking this time of year.

There were literally 3 people sitting with laptops at tables, and one other customer waiting for food pick up. After waiting for my order for half an hour, I had to chase down a staff member to inquire how much longer was my order going to take. At first, they couldn't find it in the computer. Then they told me they had to make the soup I ordered because they were apparently out of it and didn't bother to tell me. Ten minutes later, they handed me a bag and I went (late) to my meeting. When I opened my Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich, not only was it on the wrong bread, but there was no turkey to be found. Come on guys! You can do better!
