Crema's Take
“This Danish-style bakery is a pilgrimage spot for its buttery, flaky pastries—particularly the almond crinkles and bear claws—though fair warning that they skew quite sweet. The coffee is solid but not the main draw; come for the pastries you'll want to box up and take home, along with genuinely attentive, old-school European-style service that makes you feel like a regular immediately.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I would’ve given full points, but our waitress Chloe -well i was close to asking her if she’s from Europe as We experience this kind of service mostly back in Europe-. Even smiling at her didn’t shake her attitude and she answered but remained as phlegmatic as possible. We…
