We went in the afternoon and they were fully stocked with pastries. We tried the blueberry financier, croissant, chai latte, and matcha. Unfortunately, nothing tasted particularly fresh. The croissant especially missed the mark for me--none of the flaky, buttery layers I expect from a good French-style croissant. The chai was watery, and the matcha tasted mostly like milk with a hint of green coloring. Honestly, the mint-green color told me everything before I even took a sip. The location is great, the décor has a cute Parisian feel, and the staff was helpful, but overall it just didn't do it for me. I probably won't return.

It all looked so delicious, it was hard to choose! I went with the banana nut muffin and the lemon croissant. Both were 10/10 - they tasted fresh, moist and perfectly rich in flavor. Neither were too sweet either. You can tell they don't add artificial or unnecessary sweetener. Their iced americano also hit the spot. Perfectly fragrant coffee. Will be back!

Every time I go, I get a huge chocolate brownie, a large piece of blueberry coffee cake, two slices of the best pumpkin bread in the world, a pumpkin muffin, and a croissant.

I usually buy so much because I love to give a sweet treat to my friends. Hop inside with eager tastebuds and you'll be fulfilled.

Overall: 3.4/5 [take out]…read more The bakery and market has a beautiful European style interior that was definitely giving luxe. I came in around 8:30 AM on a weekday and they did not have the pistachio croissant ready yet so I got the Le Crookie ($7) instead. They have two cookie options and I went with the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie baked inside a croissant. It was not overly sweet and was pretty cohesive but the cookie was so soft that it blended right into the croissant. The exterior had a slight crisp to it but the textures were not contrasting enough to feel like two distinct components. If I had eaten this without knowing what it was I never would have guessed there was a cookie inside. I got the 20 oz Iced Ube Matcha ($7) with almond milk and appreciated that they do not charge extra for milk alternatives. Unfortunately the drink was not good. I could barely taste any matcha or ube and it seemed like there was no sweetener in it at all. The melting ice did not help either and I ended up adding some Vietnamese coffee when I got home just to give it some flavor and depth. I am still willing to come back to try their coffee and the pistachio croissant though.

Perfect for a quick lunch, an easy family dinner, or even catering a small gathering. They also have a coffee station, wine, and both indoor and outdoor seating if you want to linger awhile, catch up with a friend, or get a little work done. A hidden gem that I'm glad I finally discovered.

Delicious local bagels!…read more Cute little bagel shop that confidently located in the NE corner of the Preston Forest with easy parking before you get too deep in the market. Fast and friendly serving up delicious, made in-house bagels with all the variety you'd expect. I enjoy the Nova Lovers (salmon, red onion, cucumber, plain cream cheese) on an Everything bagel. The prices are a little high but acceptable for the neighborhood and especially for the quality of New York Style bagels you get. Their house blend coffee is really good too. There's no seating inside so take your sack to go or nosh at the two tables on the side walk with you friends and dogs. Call ahead and order some assorted bagels and smear for your next breakfast group. You won't be disappointed

He had a toasted bagel with salmon cream cheese, I had a toasted wheat bagel with egg whites, cheddar, bacon and tomato, and we brought a "Western" bagel sandwich for a friend.

The shop itself is small but well run with all kinds of fresh offerings including some unique bagels (Za'atar, Jerusalem, rainbow for example). Pricing is reasonable and the shopping center where it is located has plenty of parking too. If I'm back in the area, I'd look forward to returning!
