We love this place! Not many bakeries around that are quite this good. Their large cream puffs, éclairs, mousse, and all sorts of fruit tarts are all the best I've ever tried. The person running the register is always nice and lets us know what specific items are, too. Good variety of items that switch up sometimes.

Hidden gem on Lake City Way! Amazing and warm decor. High quality and authentic French pastries with none of the snobbery. How did I not find this place sooner? The owner/baker Honor is an amazing woman, highly skilled and super nice! Great coffee too!

I’ve wasted three separate trips when you show as open online and then you have a piece of paper saying you are closed for a month or your oven broke or there was an electromagnetic storm when I get to the store. Have some respect for your customers and keep your hours updated online. Restaurant 101.

Finally stopped by since I was up and out of the house early enough, or at least what I thought was early enough. They were out of plain, regular, and almond croissants before 9am.
Really hard to tell what all they have and don't have even if the line isn't long enough to be outside since you basically are asked to order before you can even see anything and they don't have the food labels up where there are empty spots to tell you for sure what they're sold out of.
Also have a two per item/flavor rule so the 3 chocolate croissants I was hoping to order for me and my friends wouldn't have been allowed anyway even if they were in stock.
Think I'll pass on this one unless I'm up literally when they open and am only buying for me.

One star for the baguette. Wonder Bread like, but not as good. Soft, pale, dense and gummy. Threw it out. This was Friday morning. Owner, do your customers really like this?

Come early and enjoy legit the best pastries in Seattle. Lots of folks go to Macrina in this area because of the convenience to the park but honestly, I would rather stop here first. So much better. Staff are ridiculously sweet.
I don't usually complain but I will today. They make very good pastries but today (Father's Day) their main oven is down so they don't have the capacity. I waited in line for 20 minutes just to get in the door and find out that there was almost nothing to choose from, the trays were empty. VERY disappointing! Had I known I would have left. They were wasting people's time by not telling us the situation. When I walked out I told this to those in line, I hope they left. You're not the only place in town.

Place is amazing! Staff is super sweet and very welcoming. Always see a line out the door before open but they are really fast paced and the pastries make it worth the wait and the price! Always leave here feeling great :)

**UPDATE: Found this sharp plastic piece in the Choc Decadence!!I was one of the customers who had always liked this bakery until this morning. When I arrived around 7:50 this morning, there was already quite a long line, and after waiting for about 45 minutes, I was able to order. As you can see in the attached photo, I ordered various pastries and desserts to celebrate Mother's Day, and I paid a significant amount of $66 at the bakery. The problem arose when I arrived home and opened the box to find a Key Lime Tart instead of the Choc Decadence I had ordered. Not only was I looking forward to trying the Choc Decadence, but they also charged more than twice the cost of the Key Lime Tart, so I tried contacting them. I called them 3 times, but they never answered, and there were no other contact methods available. After trying another 2-3 consecutive calls, I finally got through, and the woman who picked up the phone said she can exchange it for the Choc Decadence if I come back. There was NO apology for their mistake. Since I didn't want to ruin Mother's Day, I decided to drive back to the bakery. When I got there, the woman checked my Key Lime Tart in the box, pouted, took it back, and finally gave me the Choc Decadence. Again, there was no apology for the time wasted going back home and driving back again, nor any acknowledgment of their mistake. Also, they took back the wrongly handed Key Lime Tart. I'm not sure if they might resell it to another customer. There is NO respect for the customer who willingly dedicated over an hour of early Sunday morning and paid a significant amount in this business. There is NO genuine apology for their mistake in this business as well. I am deeply disappointed with their customer service and will NEVER return.
