Fast service, wide selection of baked goods! I got the almond croissant, mushroom and spinach quiche, olive oil cake, mocha, and cappuccino. The staff were friendly and the food and drinks came out super quick and delicious. Would come again.

Sooo cute! The chocolate eclair was fab and so was the hot chocolate. Both very chocolatey, but the eclair was dark chocolate so not overwhelmingly sweet. My dad also got the olive cake which he loved but I didn’t get the chance to try because he shoveled down immediately. The interior is spacious and sits many people comfortably. It has a very adorable look to it. Staff are also incredibly friendly and sweet. The food came out as quick as possible, and the beverages followed not shortly after. A woman with very impressive hoop earrings served us and was very kind.

This is an authentic French bakery, the owner is from France and makes sure everything is to the utmost standards. The hot chocolate is quite unique and they let you try it first because it’s not as sweet or watery like others but very rich and flavorful. Lots of seating if you want to take your laptop

Arguably the best French cafe I've been to in the US for a while. The hot chocolate is decadent but not too sweet unlike poor imitations of French hot chocolate. The chocolate croissant pretzel was flaky, light, and had a good amount of chocolate. Blueberry Danish also surprisingly had a complex flavor. The store itself was super cute.
