The chocolate croissant was not good, probably yesterday's. The espresso was good.

The pastries were very delicious. But we were disappointed by the cappuccino. It tasted watery. I would definitely go there again to get croissants but would pick up my coffee somewhere else.

The croissant was likely buttery, flaky, & had a satisfying crunch on the outside, complemented by a soft, airy interior. Paired with a creamy, rich hot chocolate, it was a delightful combination of flavors & textures

Great service. Very quick despite crowds. Had the quiche Lorraine which was excellent. Went with several friends & they had from vegetable quiche to different types of croissants & pastry. They all loved it. Also coffee was excellent. Wish the place was a bit bigger as we were pretty packed in there

Wonderful aroma of coffee invites you in from the street. Croissants as big as your head (not quite but a good size). Great relaxing vibe inside. Only downside was a lack of a washroom facility as it was 'Out of order'
