They also have a chocolate shop next door. When I walked inside of the bakery, I felt transported to a pastry shop in France. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was super busy. Service was quick and efficient. I ordered a latte and a scone. The scone was very delicious and fresh. My boyfriend ordered a frozen hot chocolate and a chocolate éclair. I tried a bit of the éclair and we both agreed that it was the star of the show. I normally am not a big éclair person but this one was so chocolatey and rich. It was filled with this creamy, fresh chocolate filling. I strongly dislike the store bought cream filling that they are usually piped with. We sat at one of the little tables on the sidewalk outside since the weather was nice. I will be back if I am in the area and in the mood for a sweet treat!

While the dessert was good, the staff is not aware of allergens in desserts. All three people at…read morethe front, although they were very nice, assured me there were no nuts in "Spring" dessert. They said there could be cross contamination. Cross contamination is no issue for me, as I informed them, but I need to know if there are nuts actually inside as an ingredient. One person said only one item on their dessert menu contained nuts, and when I mentioned that many contained hazelnut they seemed surprised to learn that hazelnut is in fact a tree nut. Lo and behold, the chocolate dacquoise inside the Spring dessert contained nuts and I got an anaphylactic reaction as a result and needed to take my EpiPen. The bite I had was very yummy but almost took me out so I'll still keep two stars for the baking itself. However, staff NEEDS to know what contains very common and deadly allergens.

Not fluffy, not fresh. I remember when they first opened everything was fantastic, but I'd rather have no croissant than a stale croissant. Service, as always, was friendly. The ambience is nice, it's very clean inside with cute little tables. I would come in for a macaron or hot drink, but I'm iffy on the baked goods after several not-so-fresh items over the years.

The staff even wear those classic French red hats, which adds to the whole experience and makes it feel really authentic. Everything looked incredible, but I went with a chocolate dessert (don't remember the exact name) and it was amazing,smooth, and not overly sweet. You can tell it's made with quality ingredients. The cappuccino was also very good and paired perfectly with it.

The girl at the counter was beyond rude. They had practically no customers in there and they gave my son's order to someone else then took it from that persons table and gave it to my son telling us it was "untouched." The coffee we ordered was also horrible and they seemed to be struggling to get a simple coffee order correct. Our coffees were so bad, we ended up throwing them out before we even walked a block. Most disturbing was the demeanor or the girl who took our order. She just stood there annoyed with a look on her face like we were inconveniencing her. With all the great places in the area, I will never return. Such a shame because I really used to like this place.

Well there is a row of street parking infront and across the street, but they're usually full and with a baby I was being very selective as to which spot I'll accept before venturing in. Luckily, the third time I passed, a spot opened up right in front. They had run out of baklava by 4pm that Thursday, I got a pistachio ball and cream puff instead. The pistachio ball was a little dry (I think it's suppose to be?) It wasn't for me. The cream puff on the other hand was delicious! The shell was nice and a little crispy and the cream had the perfect consistency, just gooey enough. It's not overly creamy/fluffy, it's a little more custardy side which I liked.

The desserts are visually beautiful and the service was friendly and efficient, so credit where it's due. Unfortunately, the chocolate croissant was so dry and hard I genuinely thought I might crack a front tooth trying to eat it. Between that and the bizarre playlist choice blasting through the bakery, I couldn't wait to leave. Maybe it was an off day, but at this price point I expected much better quality and overall experience. I'm unlikely to return.
