Best filled croissant I've ever had and the drip coffee was perfect. Update: I can't stop thinking about that hazelnut croissant. If I take a trip back to Philly it will be just for this croissant. For the love of pastry, if you have not been here you must go.

Visiting Philly is always a challenge because there are so many awesome places to try, and I always want to hit up my favorites. I decided to break away from my favorite donut shop to try this French bakery today based on the photos from other reviews of the chocolate pretzel. It's really a pretzel shaped pain au chocolat with roasted peanuts on top...I would call it Philly French, and it's epic! While in the shop, I couldn't resist getting the blueberry danish as well because of how good it looked, and that was amazing too!

Cute place and good reviews...but I've had almond croissants in coffee shops all around the US and the world, and this was by far the worst version of an almond croissant I've ever experienced! Not even worth trying a second time. Both me and my fiance's cappuccino was so cold, you could pour it over your hand. Thankfully the service was excellent and a barista who looked more knowledgeable quickly made me another. The banana crepe was decent but not memorable.

Croissant and raspberry danish were great. It was a cozy cafe. A staff was friendly but pretty unprofessional all the time. The food is delicious, but it's a shame that the service lowers customer satisfaction.

Most authentic and best croissants 🏆 Excellent service
The chocolate pretzel is overrated if you ask me. It’s not bad, it just looks better than it tastes. The hazelnut croissant however, is really good. The coffee is not bad, and the service is pretty good. It’s a cute little bakery with some small French bistro tables by the window and a couple of small booths on the other side. I have to be back to try their crepe though, I heard good things.
Hot chocolate is rich and thick, like the “drinking chocolate” in Europe. Flan is large; delicious but a bit heavier than I prefer; olive cake is super moist; chocolate pretzel wonderful twist of flavor and textures. Nice, quiet ‘tho small seating area is a great place to sit; with nice cups, plates, and silverware, etc.

Just a fantastic bakery. The croissants here are absolutely incredible -- some of the best I have had, even compared to the ones in Paris. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!

This French bakery was just up the street from our AirBnb. It was so good that we came here twice. The croissants were perfection. The croissant sandwiches were solid and the strawberry danishes were so excellent that I would go back to Philly just to have one again. This place is the real deal and we heard French coming out of the kitchen, which I totally loved since I am a language teacher (German). We will definitely be back.

Fresh and crispy croissant, one of the best I’ve eaten in town. Very tasty flan and very strong double espresso coffee. Perfect little bakery.
