Brian Johnson: Italian loaf sliced (great bread here). Any of the cookies or danish are out of this world. The specialty breads are top notch (blueberry pound cake..etc..). Great service from a great family.
Renée Hirshfield: The cookies, the pastries, the cakes and the pies ... everything is just great!
Kassandra Hayes: My mom used to bring us here when we were little. I love the cannoli & the Josephines. Bring cash, there is an ATM, but my bank charged a crazy fee on top of it.
Dee Naumann: Great pastries
Molly McCann: Earl Grey Tea macarons are delicious, just like Dalloyau!
Riverfront Times: In the "Bonaparte," Faure's rendition of a classic French napoleon, layers of housemade puff pastry stack beautifully with Tahitian vanilla-bean cream and mild rose-petal jam. http://bit.ly/1bVSvgO

Shelley: The teas and pastries are fabulous, but you must get the cream tea -- a softball-sized scone w/Devonshire cream and your own pot of tea. Amazing salads and soups, too.
Ivan Tan: Japanese sencha was disappointing but do try the Silver Needle! Rejuvenating stuff! Scones are amazing too :)
Riverfront Times: Has a range of in-house baked goods, including everything from rock cakes and their family's recipe for scones to a tried-and-true customer favorite: moist and flavorful blueberry-lemon cake. Read more.

Karen Bult: English muffin toast is worth a try.
Patrick Holloway: The Cortado, pour over coffee, and cold brew iced coffee are great drink choices. Pastries are amazing with the homemade butter and jams.
Kevin Heard: Everything is great. Can't go wrong with the hand brewed coffee or any espresso drink. Love their house made jams that pair well with any of the breads or pastries.

Erin Elizabeth: The beignets are amazing.
Zara: Rosemary's Baby is just...oh, my. So so so good (rosemary + honey), and the blueberry muffin is the best I've found anywhere.
Brittany Ballard: Best beignets in town. The food is great too. Solid options for vegetarians, not so much for vegans. Veggie omelette was tasty and filling.
