Limited seating so I found a bench nearby in the sunshine. That was perfection enjoying the bakery item in the warm sunshine on a beautiful Sunday morning! Line took about 5 mins.
If get there on time fresh sandwiches are great. Pastries and coffees also very good.

Pretty disappointing. Service was slow and inattentive, and the food didn’t live up to the hype. Not worth the price — won’t be coming back. The owner was rude and seemed selectively nice to certain guests, which made the experience even worse.

Probably one of the best plain croissants I’ve had. I love the quality of it and I love the jam selection here. The savory breads are also really great quality of ingredients and taste.

Very very average pastries. And mediocre espresso. I suppose we’re spoiled here in the Bay Area.

I have been a regular supporter in the past, but today’s experience has made me never want to return.
I was interested in the cheese croissants, but the girl at the register couldn’t even tell me what cheeses were in them (if you’re selling a product, your staff should be educated on the ingredients). After biting into one, I realized the one she gave me had ham in it. This could’ve been a really serious issue had I been a vegetarian or allergic. I immediately went back to the shop to let them know, and none of the staff remotely cared. Didn’t even get a semblance of an apology. I asked for a plain one in return and they made me wait over 5 minutes after I handed back the ham one (thought it was weird that they demanded it back when it would just go in the trash and kept me waiting so long in between). They also didnt even offer to refund me the difference when what I paid for was more expensive than what I got.
Croissants were underwhelming and service was atrocious. Take your business elsewhere.

Baked goods were great. I just wish there were more options to choose from. Maybe it was the time of day?

I’ve visited this bakery several times, but unfortunately, the staff’s reputation for being unfriendly was confirmed today. The person behind the counter was extremely rude, and no one smiles. The quiche was ice-cold like it was straight from the fridge, and they refused to warm it up—even with a microwave in plain sight. The croissant was nothing special. I love supporting local businesses, but basic kindness toward customers shouldn’t be too much to ask. Looks like I’ll have to find a new local bakery.
God-tier french butter croissants, quiches, and canneles de Bordeaux Helpful staff that keep the line moving Hard to believe the Bay Area's best croissants are not in Berkeley, Albany or San Francisco but are in fact behind the counter of a tiny bakery in Lafayette. Go figure!

Cannoli was okay and so was the fruit tart, but I went toward the end of the day so maybe it wasn’t the freshest. Nice staff and overall atmosphere.

They don't make scones & too small a place. Coffee was good though.

BEST PASTRIES EVER! French butter croissants, monkey bites (trust me!!!), Kouign amann, morning bun with a hint of orange. And the staff is friendly too. We’ve tried other local bakeries but none compare. Get there when they open for the best selection and weekdays are a faster than the weekend. Magnifique🤩

Better croissants than you'll find in Paris!
