Went late one afternoon to try the viral fruit pastries and they were sold out. Was told by an employee to call the bakery early and they would save the pastries for pick up. We live over an hour away in Virginia but really wanted to try these. The first time we called we stayed on hold 45 minutes until the call was dropped. The second time we called the person actually told us what was left and I placed my order but before she got my name I was put on hold and stayed on hold for an hour until we actually arrived there. By that time they had only one of the fruit pastries and we had four people wanting them. They gave no explanation of why we were put on hold for that long only to co e up empty handed. The one pastry we did get was good had to be shares between us. Very disappointing! A day wasted.

Looking for a place to enlighten your senses… this is your place. From cakes to masterpieces that will excite the inner child in you. We had lunch to start and the portions were great. The food was well prepared. We sat outside and enjoyed the sun. We took our dessert to go and had them later in the evening. Excellent way to end the night. Customer service was excellent. We will be back. We drove 2 hours to indulge.

They're nice, cute desserts (don't know how they taste though), but it's definitely not a coffee shop. Cappuccino was just a latte and they had to remake my coffee since the first one was full of grounds. Also tasted stale.

We stumbled upon this place completely by luck. WOW. The pistachio eclair was the most incredible eclair I have ever had. Only after did we realize it's quite the popular spot made famous by TikTok. The hype is certainly worth it! We will be back!

While the food takes a little while to come to the table, the experience was very unique. Of their cakes are made there and they are so adorable. The chocolates are definitely made there! We had a coffee and Cafe LA and they were just perfect. It wasn't too crowded when we went which was very nice and we got to get the full experience. We each had a cheese and egg sandwich. My partner had a croissant and it was light and fluffy. I had white toast and it was very crunchy but I enjoyed every mouthful.

Those pastries are amazing. I drove four and a half hours to try them. It’s best you call them and place your order over the phone with someone in the cafe. When I arrived it was empty. The servers were pleasant and kind. I would travel again for those pastries.

Terrible customer service! We drove hour and half for the fruit pastrys that they didn’t have but that’s not what made me mad. We had to stand there and wait for someone to come over and ask what we wanted.. after standing there almost 15 minutes with no one even looking our way or responding when I said hello can someone help us and looking at them, we just walked out. Will never be back.

My husband and I ordered the chocolate and zucchini muffin, and the macaroons box. The muffin was not my husband's favorite but I enjoyed it. It was spongy yet sweet, bitter but not harsh a well combination. As for the macaroons, presentation was beautiful 😍. I got pistachio chocolate passion fruit and cherry. I did not like the cherry sadly as it was a bit to tart but the other flavors were just amazing. Originally we came for the famous fruit pastries but by the time we got there they were sold out before noon, the cashier gave us really good advise to try and get one in the future. Bless that woman, she needs a raise. As for the interior of the cafe it was a bit plain, was hoping for at least a decor or to but no, colors inside did not feel like homey. It smelled more like cleaning supplies than a cafe. But hey at least it was clean! Over all rating I would give it an honest 7/10. It wasn't worth the 2 hr ride there but did come back with an experience I'm glad to have. Only advise. Make more fruit pastries, I wanna try one so bad!
