The pastries were very good. Especially the pain au chocolat, pain au raisin, and the ham and cheese croissant. We also had the raspberry croissant, eclair, tiramisu, strawberry tart, and millefoglie. My only complaint was that the cream pasticceria was a bit on the lighter side in color and flavor, but that could just be because of the egg problem going on right now. Usually it's a bit more yellow and richer, but it may be harder to get better quality yolks at the moment....
Great bakery and cafe. You can get sweet and savory treats here, there is plenty of seating inside and outside. Outside seating is covered by a roof. It is hard to find parking - a very popular plaza.
Unfortunately, the crème pâtissière in the éclair, Mille feuille, and tartine, lacked flavor and the color was also off (very pale white).
