This is my new favorite spot for pastries! The best part is their ever-changing menu. You never know what delicious new creation you'll find, which makes every visit a wonderful surprise. The quality is always top-notch, no matter what you choose. Highly recommended!

Love their almond croissants. Also savory stuff.
Always like to stop by when around.
Only thing it needs is egg lemon cream-filled croissants. Being on the Drive it should be a requirement since that's big in Italy!

I go here almost every week. The bread is great, croissants are great, cookies are delicious!

It would be a hidden gem if so many people didn't already know about it.

Atmosphere gets docked some points because it's cramped and occasionally the counter person seems scared of people?

Is it a gen z thing? Like, girl, I'm not gonna bite you, i just want a croissant and a loaf of bread?

You'd...
