Staff was very friendly and everything in the cases looked SO GOOD. French toast was great and at a very good price for a decent coffee. Will be back to get some tarts and scones next time I’m in the area.

Nice place to have breakfast. Lots of homemade bakery products. Prices are better than other places around it, so visit and enjoy. They are open from 7:00 to 7:00 except on Sunday when they close at 6:00. But the catch is they start cooking breakfast at 7:30 but all their other pastries and things are available at 7:00. I had the small plate a croissant and medium latte and it cost me less than $20

The treats are quite tasty and reasonably priced! Service was a bit slow as the workera talked amongst themselves but no major complaints since there wasnt a long wait time!

Did not see all the negative reviews before visiting and honestly, do not understand the reason behind them. Beautiful, delicious pastries, great, friendly staff, all at quite affordable prices. Everything was super fresh. They also make custom cakes. Espresso based coffee was great. Don’t skip on their raspberry tart-it’s amazing!
