I, personally, think this place is a bit overrated 😕. My kid, however, loves it and is the only reason we keep coming back. My daughter always gets a croissant, few macarons, and something new to try out. She has liked everything but the flan and lemon loaf (her yaya loved the lemon loaf!) .. the loaves taste like cheese with barely a hint of lemon (marble is ok). Reminds me of a salvadorean quesadilla (sweet cheese bread/cornbread like..). idk. Everything is visually appealing, I just don't care for it. BUT my kid does! I do appreciate that pastries aren't very sweet. Also, if you love croissants, definitely give them a try. Those are very good. I did also like the basque cheesecake. Service is sometimes slow, but it does get very busy. Atmosphere is nice. It's a cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. The Latinas that work there a very kind. They are the only ones that ever ask if we have questions and to take our time which is nice when you have a kid that's indecisive lol. Much appreciated.

Convenient location in the heart of downtown Redwood City. There are street and garage / lot options around for parking (note they are paid options), and even a bike rack in front of the shop if you ride over. There are both inside and outside seating options, though the inside has limited seating options which isn't conducive to meeting someone and hanging out. I noticed there seemed to be single people in tables for 2+ people (tough for employees to do anything about that). When we went, only about 1/3 of their tables outside were shaded - no one was sitting in the unshaded seats as it was quite hot in the direct sun.
I only had coffee when I went, specifically a macaron latte. It was good - not overly sweet, and the base coffee / beans tasted like they were high quality. The shop wasn't too busy, and we got our coffees within a few minutes of placing our order.
The pastries looked amazing, and they are definitely something I plan to order and try when I go back next time. It looks like they have several locations around the Bay Area, so I'm excited to try another location next time.

Ambiance: Lovely setting with both indoor seating and a cozy backyard area. It’s charming but can get quite busy, so expect a wait, especially during peak hours. Not the best spot for large gatherings, but great for smaller groups or a relaxed meal.
Customer Service: The staff are friendly and welcoming, making the experience pleasant even when the place is crowded. They do offer a high chair for little ones, though there’s no dedicated kids’ menu.
Food: Very good selection of food and pastries, with fresh flavors and tempting options for any time of day. Definitely worth the wait if you have the time.

So the almond croissant filled with chocolate chip is a must. Also ordered the breakfast sandwich. Ordered the cafe Ole and Signature latte (w/almond syrup).
There’s lots of reason to come back and try more options.

I've been to this place a couple of times and had a good experience overall. Unfortunately, today I ordered a chocolate tart to go. When I opened the box at home, flies were trapped inside with the tart. It is unlikely that the flies got inside the box while I was walking from the store to my car and driving home. I didn't open the box on my way home. So the flies were trapped inside during packaging at the store. Not coming back. It's really disappointing. A fly can be better visualized on the video.

Matcha latte was so bad. Chalky and tasteless ( definitely not ceremonial grade). Such a shame.

When I came here back in early march-April I really wasn’t super impressed with the service they had... But since then, I’ve been back over 15 times this past month loll!! and every visit has been great. The staff is always friendly and welcoming to our family. it’s got that comfortable and regular spot kind of feel to it now. The ambiance is amazing, the store is well taken care of, it’s perfect. Superrr shoutout to the morning team, Raphael and Ava for shining out there! Sometimes they are very understaffed but they’re always in a good mood and make everyone’s mornings better. The manager Raphael was very helpful with our sons allergies restrictions and did an amazing job at keeping the place together when they were busy. Flawless!!!! Kudos to the owner for picking the right people!

Lovely place for Sunday morning! Good coffee. Pastries are luscious if not quite with that shattering French crunch. The sandwich took me back to so many travels… delicious!

Good pastries and coffee, but alternatives to milk (oat, soy) cost $1.20 extra! There are also frequently flies landing on the pastries.
This coffee shop offers exceptional pastries, coffee, and ambiance, making it ideal for a quick coffee or a more substantial breakfast, including sandwiches, quiches, and salads. The service is excellent, and the dining area is clean and inviting. A wide selection of pastries is also available.

This is one the best bakeries I've had the pleasure to experience. Everything I've had has been perfect. My kids love it. The staff is great, and the atmosphere is clean, classy, and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Legit croissants! Wish I bought extras. Definitely coming back if I find myself in the Bay area again!

I came here with friends for breakfast and was really impressed. The pastries and coffee were excellent, and the service was friendly and attentive. The place was spotless, and the music created a perfect atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The service is always slow but yesterday was the worst ever. No acknowledgment that I was waiting while the server answered a text, no smile and as always understaffed. For the price you pay we should expect better !
