I am shocked that the average review score is so high. While it's nice & clean on the inside, my chocolate brioche was stale, my wife's ham & cheese croissant was burnt, & their coffees are Nespresso, for God's sake. Go somewhere that actually serves fresh bakes & real coffee.

Its ok... coffee is great but its nespresso .... if u r far... dont walk over especially for this... not worth it... Servers are tired & not in the best mood. Mid price range...we tried a Pecan tart, almond croissant filled with chocolate & madeline with nutella on it. The sitting area needs a good clean...

Stopped in for an early breakfast & couldn't resist going back again the following morning. Freshly made egg & cheese sandwich on toasted croissant was my favorite.

Heard a lot about this bakery & was excited to try French pastries. Nice selection on display - I ordered a few to share. My opinion - this location it didn't taste very fresh. Everything tasted a bit old & hard to chew. I've had much better croissants at other places. I watched people order sandwiches & service was very slow people waited a long time just to have their sandwich warmed up. Maybe other locations are better? Washroom door didn't lock so people had to wait with some one watching the door.
