My honest only complaint is that this place is never open lol if you work a 9-5 you’ll never be able to catch this place open.
The most random days they close for any reason necessary, here we are in 2025 and they are closed from Jan 1st - Jan 13th? Pretty sure they were closed Christmas week and New Year’s Eve. Never seen a bakery closed so much and take so many breaks. It’s a bakery lol

This place is criminally underrated, so glad we found it. I'd certainly order the lemon biscotti's for future events.

Not really happy for this store. They charge me $68$ for a birthday cake 8inch. They charged me $10 extra for decorating and they put a ribbon around it. That should be not good when you pay extra charge for decoration. I told them please write HBD on the bottom of the cake and they write on the top of it. Because they save money. They put gold tray instead of white.

Most excellent!
But please please please add a micro restroom for your loyal customers.
Willing to pay $1-2 to access a clean restroom.

Ordered a yellow birthday cake for my mentor’s birthday. It was a crowd pleaser. The icing was a great texture and not too sweet, and the cake itself was SO moist and flavorful. So many people tried it and said that it was some of the best birthday cake they’ve ever tried. The cupcakes were OK - not as good as the cake - but still decent. I probably wouldn’t get those again but that cake was a real winner. Dr. T even told me to write a good review because he was so pleased. Will be coming back here for more birthday cakes!!! Such a cute vibe too.

My wife and I recently dropped in for tea and coffee. My wife follows a gluten-free diet and we told this to the clerk.
She was very friendly, and she was able to direct us to a delicious crem brulee that my wife enjoyed. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Our whole visit was superb. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were outstanding. I would highly recommended Josef's.

Found my self in the area and thought I would stop in and treat myself to a cupcake or two. I have to say the inside is just beautiful. I felt as if I was back in Paris as I ordered a chocolate and a bacon and cheese croissant to include one of each flavor cupcake: chocolate chocolate, yellow with vanilla icing and a red velvet. The bacon and cheese croissant was not as flaky /buttery as I had anticipated. They have a grand selection of sandwiches and a coffee bar too. All of the items in my order were very good. I would certainly return.
