The staff are friendly, efficient, and well versed in their products. Some of the furniture could use a refresh (some of the upholstered chairs are looking worn) but overall the decor is pleasant and the entire facility is clean, clean, clean! I often order a hot tea with a savory pastry, but if you're looking for something special, the Mont Blanc pastry and the pistachio matcha latte are very popular. On one recent visit, my friend ordered the apricot pastry, and I got an ube donut and a mushroom tart. So good! The cream under the apricot was so light and fluffy. The combination of long open hours, friendly staff, and very fresh pastries makes this shop an essential spot in west Lawrence.

WOW. I had lunch at a pizza shop next door and a friend suggested we pop over for a pastry. I was…read morenot prepared for what awaited me. Tours was bright, cheery, and had soooo many pastries. It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Strategically positioned between the beautiful Washburn University and younglife, this is a local…read more"neighborhood cafe serving fine folks" with some of the most refined pastries I've tasted along my travels. In homage to the Girl Scout cookie - a Samoa Cronut that has all the buttery layers of a croissant with the springy chewiness of a donut, coated in tiny flecks of coconut adhered with delicate fresh-made caramel and a chocolate drizzle. It's divine! Also extraordinary: a classic cinnamon roll covered in a generous layer of buttery cream cheese frosting, every bit as satisfying as homemade, without the hassle. For here or there, a Brown Butter Cookie with chocolate chips the consistency of s'more's and a healthy sprinkle of sea salt that's crunchy and surprising in the best way. The space is minimal without feeling cold, with indoor workspace opening to a large landscaped patio. Don't forget the coffee - full circle, it's very good here.

I CANNOT BRAG ON THIS ENOUGH! There is a touch of balsamic that brightens the strawberry. The sprig of thyme is beautiful as well as tasty. I thought this might be a sweet pastry, but it's actually savory, in the very best way. The pastry is so flaky and crisp. My dreams will be full of this for years to come. Now let me get to the latte. It was SO RICH AND SMOOTH!!!! I got a sugar-free-vanilla latte--expecting nothing special. It was the best cup of joe I've had in a long time! I love to drink the foam so I removed the lid and was surprised to see the adorable art. This place is TASTY! If I'm ever back in Topeka, I can't wait to come back.

It's not quiet, but it's comfortable and at least in the back, easy enough to sit and pound away at the keyboard. Oh, and the coffee was excellent. I love it when a coffee shop serves their cortado in the proper short glass. It was perfection. [Review 794 of 2026 - 134 in Kansas - 25975 overall]

Ladies working there are very helpful and friendly stating you can mix and match or make any drink you want. Highly recommend checking the place out, it's just the door left of the vape shop. Hopefully a sign above their door will be coming soon for better visibility and hopefully the shopping areas parking lot will be finished with their construction soon too so parking will be easier.

This Boba Te place recently opened so there are some kinks to work out. It was hard to see as they…read moredidn't have a sign on front of store but per fb post it said by Jimmy John's. Which it is nestled between JJ and The Vape shop. There were 2 gals outside writing a/chalk so when I approached one asked if I was going into the store which I said Yes, if I can. She told me right away that she was currently making boba so they was not any available for 10-15 min. The store is small but it's more of a grab and go(snacks/sushi)boba drink spot. There were 2 small to go containers w/sushi so I asked where they got their sushi. The employee said they have a restaurant in St. Mary's so they make it there, then they bring it to the Boba place. I went ahead and ordered a Thai Milk Tea-minus the boba. I was a bit disappointed but I wanted to try it out. The drink was ok...I will probably try them again as there are several other drinks that I would like to try. I like the concept of the store so hopefully they'll have more sushi and snacks available as well as have boba made regularly.
