The best croissants 🥐 and cinnamon rolls in town! I have taken family members here and they have all praised the bakery treats. Whenever I visit I’ve always received great customer service from the staff too. This is one of my favorite small businesses to support!!!

I judge a Bakery on the quality of their macarons and their bread. This is because palettes can easily be tricked by sugar, butter, and a little moistness. So desserts, pastries, sandwich bread can be deceiving as to true quality.
But an artisan bread and macarons need a high degree of technique.
That is what I ordered. They only had four flavors of macarons, so that was a positive thing.
Macarons are very difficult to get right. Most bakeries use artificial ingredients or they just purchase them from somewhere who makes them in a factory. I am definitely not easily impressed with macarons. Uppercrust impressed me. The fillings were quality, and the shells were perfect.
I asked for the freshest bread they had that morning, and it happened to be sourdough, so I went for it.
Sourdough is an interesting bread because it does have a heavy moist texture when it’s really fresh, and some could mistake it for being too moist. Most bread is designed to sit out for a while and still taste pretty good. Their sourdough already had developed the crisp outer crust. The interior was still very moist, which means it was practically perfect.
I judge their macarons to be the best I’ve had in Florida so far. Their bread speaks for itself.

This is always a stop for us before going to the Fresh Market next door. The coffee and croissants are divine and they always feature different the things to try and suggest wine pairings.

They don't have bagels. I don't know where the pictures came from. They don't accept pets in store, I don't know how they ended up on the pet friendly list. And they start closing at 3:15 on Sunday.
Update: the picture I saw was not a bagel.

Very disappointed. The eclairs were filled with a cheap tasting too sweet custard, the chocolate tart tasted like bland frosting. If that wax supposed to be chocolate ganache, it was a sad comparison. The croissants had a strange aftertaste, that was sweet and oily, not like a butter croissant should be. I’ve enjoyed some amazing French bakeries across the country with French bakers very proud of their food. This was extremely disappointing and ridiculously expensive for what it was. The eclair was $7 and tasted like a small long john donut at best. This place, to me, is not a true French bakery. I will be looking elsewhere.
Edit: I wanted to add that I usually ONLY give positive reviews for businesses, and just never return to the ones that did not meet my standards. In addition to the above, after eating the food here, I developed one of the worst cases of heartburn I have ever experienced. I do hope you look at your ingredients and not skimp on quality for future patrons. No reason should anyone suffer over a treat they are hoping to enjoy.

Tasty but definitely need egg free croissants and vegan croissants!
Empty shelves. Broken coffee machine. No place to sit.
