I asked them to bake a fresh chocolate and Hazelnut cake for a birthday and it was absolutely amazing.

You should update your schedule. The bakery was definitely not open at 7.00am today...

Sort of a walk in to pick up bakery. There are some chairs and tables to eat at. They have extensive varieties of quiche and pies. Come hungry!

Literally, no one makes a croissant as good as this place. Their plain croissants are simply divine. Flaky buttery soft it's like crunch on the outside. When I eat that, I prefer to takeoff the hard layers and then savor the yummy middle separately. It's a whole experience!

Well, I originally came for the croissant. I also ordered some Too Good To Go bags to see about testing other things out. To my surprise, there were some savory croissants bread and Napoleon's. I always assume Napoleon's were overrated and then I got to try this and thought wow I get why they make these now.

I had a disappointing experience at this bakery. I stopped in to grab a coffee today (03-23-2026) around 11am — it wasn’t my first time there. The attendant at the counter was nice, and I noticed they had a small bazaar set up inside the shop. I walked over to take a look at the items for sale.

While I was in that room, a lady came in, didn’t say anything, and just stood there watching me. I said “good morning,” but she didn’t respond. It made me feel very uncomfortable.

After that, my wife and I left the shop. The same lady was standing next to the cashier, looked at us again, and asked the cashier what we were doing in the shop. That made me feel even worse. The cashier looked embarrassed and explained that we had just grabbed a coffee.

I don’t know what prompted that reaction — whether it was because we were dressed casually or something else — but it didn’t feel welcoming at all. Please, if you’re running a business, treat everyone with respect and kindness. It shouldn’t matter how someone is dressed or where they come from.

Because of this interaction, I won’t be coming back — not because of the food or the coffee, but because of how we were made to feel. I hope this isn’t something that happens often, and that the business can be more mindful about how customers are treated.

hi uuu

Great customer service. Savory baked treats. I got the chocolate croissant and I had it in my car for a 7 hours and it was still crispy. Shout out to Josh.

Ordered tiramisu for my wedding. EVERYONE was obsessed!! It was truly a decadent dessert with beautiful presentation and amazing taste. I’m happy I got to try it before they close and it becomes another overpriced apartment.

Used to be my favorite place for a good cake, not any more. Today I got what looks to be a delicious cake and I got a very bad one. The strawberries were black, I know is almost valentines day and they are busy, but today is just the 13 of February and the cake I got was old...the taste was awful. Nor only that, they made you wait since there was only 1 person working...too bad,my las $50 dollars invested in this place.

I did not notice until I got it home that the blueberry tart was a huge step down in quality from their usual fare. It made me suspicious so I googled it and sure enough it has been sold. I'm sure it's Trump's fault, I'm just not sure how.
