Amazing place to stop by quick in the morning for a pastry. They have flour (and fresh starter) too!

Parking is very hard to come by with all the RVs blocking a good portion of any available space. Friday’s there is a coffee truck but that also means it is a little crowded, get there earlier on that day.

OMG such good pastries. And breads. Great prices.

More warehouse distribution than a hanging out place. But I'm just so happy to have a great baker nearby.

I come here regularly, the best pastries in Mountain View! Always a bonus when the barista/coffee truck is available too. Highly recommend.

Hella good. I’ve been wanting to try this place forever but every time I’m in the area, they’re either closed for the holidays or they’re just closed in general. I finally got a chance to stop by and let me tell you, phenomenal croissants! I got the ham and cheese croissant, chocolate croissant, and the apple danish.

All the croissants are super flaky and delicious and that apple danish was to die for. The only downside is it’s not really set up like a “cafe” and coffee is only available on certain days and hours are limited (I think they close by 2 pm). Other than that, pastries are 10/10 and I will definitely come again.

I've always enjoyed their baked goods until today. My favorite treat is their sticky bun, but this time they were seriously over baked and burnt. Not sure I'm willing to return after this disaster. The attached pictures show one cut in half.

I love this place. It's such a fun experience to happen upon somewhere so unassuming and yet has such excellent treats! The danish is the best I've had, and I always get an everything croissant.

Love the bread! Reminds me of home

I absolutely loved their almond croissants- flaky and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. A must try!

Best pastries in the area - not super authentic French style but a delicious sour twist on many classics. My only complaint is you never know when they’re gonna be serving coffee or not.
