Nous avons essayé le'Too good to go' en achetant des viennoiseries (valeur de 20$ acheté pour 7$). Ça ne valait pas plus cher étant donné le service bête de l'employée: elle nous remet un sac en plastique du bout des doigts, elle semble dédaigneuse de son propre produit, & ne vérifie même pas notre achat en ligne. Une boîte en carton aurait été apprécié avec un beau sourire. Bizarre & pas accueillant, d'autant plus qu'il y avait un chien à l'intérieur du resto (près de l'entrée) qui gênait le passage... c'est pas ce à quoi on s'attendait comme expérience. Les viennoiseries ne datent pas du jour même c'est certain, mais en les plaçant au four elles regagnent un peu de croustillant sous la dent.

What a great spot to grab a tasty pastry & enjoy a cup of coffee. It's busy on weekends early in the day, so be prepared, but it's worth the wait. Weekdays were always a better chance to get a quick table.
