Today was last day I gave them my money. I've tried to overlook the quality but it's gone beyond fixing. I order a fresh squeezed orange juice every other day if not every day, they don't honor the stamp card system regularly at all. I've found dead flies in my orange juice twice now and I'm disgusted and disappointed.

The cafe is all right. Sometimes, the pastries can be a little underbaked, so I give them a couple of minutes in the oven. I had a little bit of a disappointment recently: for some reason they did not accept the Cafe des Croissants gift card. I wonder, if those cards differ by location.

Food is decent. The staff were kind and made my food quickly. The restaurant could use some signage upgrades but in this economy I'm just glad they are still open.

Received fast service. I ordered the egg ham and cheese croissant and would rate this a 6/10. It was hot and fresh and made to order. The other pastries looked worth coming back and trying.

I ordered one of the specialty turkey croissants to go. I opened the order when I got home and the appearance was sloppy. Lettuce, pickle and tomatoes were hanging out of the bread. I could not separate the sandwich as it was not adequately cut in half. It tasted awful and was smothered with way too much mayonnaise which was dripping all over. I could only taste bread, cheese and vegetables. I opened the half that I tried, and I did not see any bacon or turkey. I opened the untouched half and saw 2 slices of what looked like cheap white American cheese and gobs of bacon. All the bacon was put on one half. I called the store and the woman that answered told me that she forgot to put the turkey on. How does one forget to put turkey on a turkey sandwich? She told me to bring the sandwich back in and she would put turkey on it or give me 2 dollars for the forgotten turkey. I'm walking and this is not worth the hassle for me. She never even apologized. She said nothing when I told her that it was smothered in gobs of mayonnaise. The bottom piece of the croissant was not proportionally cut and most of it was on the side that I ate. There was very little bread on the other side. I have never had a sandwich maker this sloppy and negligent. This person obviously either does not care or does not know how to make a sandwich. I will not ever go back and I will recommend to everyone in the neighborhood to STAY AWAY! Go to Grateful Bagel or anywhere else. Update: I tried the other half of the sandwich. The American cheese is the same cheap cheese that Safeway deli is selling for 5 dollars a pound. I'm sure it came from Safeway. The bacon tasted very weird and was extremely chewy. I don't even know if it was turkey or pork. The taste and texture were so off that I could not even identify it. I threw it out. What a waste of money. Needless to say, I am pretty angry and disappointed over the quality of this sandwich and the negligence of the staff. She clearly did not give a darn. The sandwich was made under a minute. I was surprised at the time over the speedy service but now I know why. There are so many good sandwich shops in the JC neighborhood that are less expensive or priced about the same. I wish that I would have gone to any one of them instead. Even Subway would have been 100 percent better.

Amazing pastries! I make excuses to stop in every chance I get!
This is my go to on Sunday mornings. Pastries are on point and always fresh.

DeliciousSeptember 2023: Still delicious. I have since taken to buying a bag of day old bagles and/or pastries when I stop in to save some money and share at work

Food is great but the girl with face tattoos treated my autistic boyfriend like an a, he asked for a croissant with red filling and instead of suggesting similar sounding items she spoke to us with bass in her voice "which one" and when he proceeded to ask the flavors she slapped the sign and said they're all here and continued to look at us annoyed, when it came my turn no matter how much I spoke up she insisted I speak louder and I was not comfortable with that seeing as my voice was strained, as a barista myself we are held to a way higher standard than this, hopefully in the future they can come to understand customer service and not just food service
