long time fan! Everything about this bakery is awesome!
Fine but pricey European style bakery and coffee spot adjacent to LF Market Square.
This place is highly recommended in Lake Forest. The ladies who work are friendly and ready to help with the selection, the raspberry muffin is fantastic I even received a cookie as a gift with love. I love ❤
