Best quiche in the biz, coffee selection is great, and the desserts on display show real craftsmanship! 10/10!

Charming but overpriced. Like many cafes leaning on a French aesthetic, this one uses its ambiance to justify inflated prices. The interior is undeniably lovely—spacious and thoughtfully designed—but the offerings don’t quite match the cost, especially given the contrast of the surrounding area (there’s usually homeless over drugged beings next to their cafe)

I really want this place to be good, it's right next door to me and has a cute interior and I love French cafe food. But their pastries and quiche are just bad. There's a weird off flavor to them and bad texture, as if they're old or been thawed from frozen. I get the feeling nothing is made in house as nothing tastes fresh. There's just no reason to go here when we have so many amazing bakeries like Choco Pain down the street. I wish it was better because it's closer to me, but I always walk away feeling like I wasted my money with bad after taste in my mouth from their food.
This French-style café and bakery was a great spot to work remotely. I started with a single shot of espresso—it was rich and strong, far better than your typical chain coffee. The space has a charming vibe with plenty of seating, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I tried a pancake served with butter and fresh fruit, as well as a baked quiche with prosciutto and cheese (wish I had snapped a photo!). Beyond pastries and croissants, they also offer sandwiches, soups, and salads for lunch. The café had a steady flow of guests, with many choosing to sit and relax. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and I had no trouble working for a few hours. Overall, I loved the ambiance and food—would definitely return!

SCAMMY!! They’re running a promo that says 50% ALL drinks on WEDS. Asked cashier if orange juice was included she said yes so I grabbed one and other pastries. After I paid, asked how much it rang up she pulled up the receipt and said 4.50 (full price). When questioned she turns to her colleague and they reply back, oh it’s just for coffee. Advised that the sign should change, she said OKAY and rolled her eyes. Dishonesty is NOT COOL!

I enjoyed the avocado croissant, which was garnished with thin slices of radish and cucumber and also had a side of potatoes that practically melted in my mouth and was served (in my opinion) as a sharable portion. I plan to return to try something different next time.

We tried the almond chocolate croissant and maldeines at this local bakery. The croissant was good, but the maldeines tasted like box cake batter. Overall, it’s a decent bakery in the area.

Great sandwiches and delicious pastries. Coffee is also satisfactory. A relaxing cafe to sit down in — always quiet but cozy. Overall recommended for downtown locals.

I love treating myself to breakfast here. The food is fresh and tasty. The food is pricey but worth it.
Kid-friendliness: I've always seen kids with their parents here.
