    Try the #croque Madame. Rich, smokey and crunchy. Eggs cooked perfectly. Cut a bit of bread then dip into the egg. Pop a few pieces of the bacon in too. Yup...heaven. 😇

    The cannelé de bordeaux is amazing! Sweet chewy dough with a light crunchy top. Great little place for baked goods.

    Delivery is $5 with a $15 minimum purchase. If you order the Nutella crêpe or French waffle (meh), you must ask for whipped cream. I would recommend the ratatouille (not pictured).

    Kouign amann is delicious, with a buttery sugar filling. Macarons are hit or miss, salted caramel has hard, crunchy shells but the other flavors have the right texture. Zucchini soup is very good!

    No option for breakfast "to go" as of yet, but I'm guessing that might change with time. Great assmt of delicious pastries! Wonderful service

    The croissant, chocolate almond croissant, and Nutella beignet had the consistency of 2-day old baked goods. Cappuccino was serviceable, albeit with too fluffy and highly inconsistent foam texture.

    Service was good. The croque-monsieur was very good. The breakfast sandwich wasn’t. Egg was cold and sandwich was bland. Home made lemonade in a small glass full of ice for 4$, not worth it

    The food is good yet very expensive. A salad, which is not that large, and a drink will just be under 20 dollars.

    Was a bit disappointed by the egg benedict. Sauce was from a can and salat was pretty "boring"

    Overpriced orange juice. Pastries aren’t always fresh.
