In Short – The bakery's clientele is varied, and there's a relaxed atmosphere in the two rooms and among the outdoor seating. Feast on more than 12 croissant varieties--from sweet, doughy cinnamon rolls to savory turkey provolone. Venture in on Friday or Saturday for chocolate-raspberry brioche, or any day for fruit tartlettes. Lunch meals include egg salad with sprouts, vinegar and gazpacho (served seasonally). There's also mocha almond cake featuring chocolate-coffee filling and chocolate-covered espresso bean topping.

Great breakfasting spot
by irishindc71 at Citysearch
This wonderful little bakery serves up fantastic cinnamon rolls and other treats. A great place to have a cup of coffee and enjoy a weekend morning.
- Pros: Wonderful baked goods
- Cons: Parking can be a little dicey at the wrong times

We missed breakfast
by waxx at Citysearch
We arrived a tad late and all of the breakfast pastries were sold out, including the croissants. We did decide to order lunch sandwiches as well as a couple slices of cake. The egg salad and avocado sandwiches we ate were pretty light and fresh. As far as the cake we had, the Marisa cake maybe could have used more strawberries but was still wonderful. The mocha almond cake was not too chocolatey or sweet, but the icing was too dense and heavy to fully enjoy. As far as the atmosphere, it's a quaint cafe with a descent number of tables to sit and a friendly staff. All in all, we would definitely make a return visit to try other things and make it a point to go earlier next time.
- Pros: Large selection of items (if you can make it on time)
- Cons: Not enough pastries to last through the day

best cinnamon rolls

I love the baked goods and the bread
I love it for lunch. I wish they would open another location closer to me.
Sometimes the parking can be a pain.
