Very nice staff, but unfortunetly not well stocked and out of most pastries by 11:30. Croissants were good, but also no decaf espresso available.

I’ve been wanting to visit this boulangerie for a while because I’ve lived in France, and love authentic French pastries and bread. When I walked in, I immediately noticed the delicious smell that reminded me of boulangeries in France. I ordered a plain butter croissant, pain au chocolat, the savory spinach-feta-walnut croissant, and a coffee. The savory croissant was very tasty and fresh, and the coffee was great, too. It was a nice day, so I enjoyed sitting on the patio next to the boulangerie. There is not much seating inside. The first young woman I ordered from seemed new. I told her I was going to eat the savory croissant “here” and she handed it to me on a napkin. I asked her for a plate, and she didn’t know they had plates. Another employee showed her the plates, and said most customers take their food to go. I spent about $20 plus tip. It’s a cute place, and it’s good to support small businesses.

I went there special for an authentic French baguette and was very disappointed. Just a basic soft French loaf, no crunch or crispness to it at all.

Went in only an hour after they were open and the croissants were stale. The Danish that I purchased was okay, but still didn't taste fresh. Rather disappointing.

A very nice little pastry place.

Amazing bakery! The women that made my drink was so friendly and helpful, the chocolate croissant and Long john donut I had were very good and tasty. It's almost a good thing I live 15 minutes away because I would gain weight coming here otherwise.

I just want to begin this saying how grateful I am that a bakery like this exists in this part of Saint Paul, let alone at all. Standalone bakeries are incredibly rare now. I will do a lot of things for a donut, even a mediocre one.

But every single pastry I've had here is just so dry. Put some extra butter up in there! Oil! Anything please.

Technically made incredibly well, just consistently overly dry.

Very negative experience. It’s a tiny place with limited food options that are grossly overpriced. Not all shown on its website is in the store, and stock was surprisingly low early in the morning. Then my friend got very sick after having the tiramisu. I will never return.

Amazing best fritters I’ve ever had

Good variety of baked goods, but the donuts have been stale on more than one occasion.

I strongly believe this is the best ham and cheese croissant spot in the twin cities. Better than rosestreet/46, black walnut, sunstreet, kowalskis, Marc Heu, or Bread & chocolate. Service could be brighter, but whatever, it’s french.

Hands down the best apple fritters in the Twin cities!!!
