Delicious food and very friendly owners. My favorite breakfast place in town.
Such a welcome addition to Main Street! The charming and warm
proprietors from France serve up the classics - and the best Parisian sandwich around. The breakfast sandwich is another winner as are the baguettes and all sorts of authentic French pastries.
