Was introduced to this lovely bakery by a friend who comes here all the time. (I totally see why!) So dangerously tempting especially since it's so close to the freeway with plenty of parking. Upon entering, there are a bunch of tables off to the right and the display of all the wonderful array of pastries and cakes to the left. Not ... read more

What a cute bakery. I'm sorry it took me so long to visit after 8 years of living here.. The bakery display is one of the best! You got your breads and pastries on the left and the desserts and cakes front and center. I came here to pick up some pastries, plus something to eat for lunch. I ordered the spinach and cheese quiche (slice ... read more

The best patisserie anywhere I've been. All patisseries are made at the location. They even have breakfast and lunch items. The almond croissant is great. The breakfast sausage links are the best I've ever eaten. I don't know what it is but the sausage links are just tender and perfectly spiced, it's not your typical sausage link.

Stopped here on Monday around 7:30 am. I picked up a croissant, an almond croissant snd a blueberry scone. All three cost just over $9+tip. The almond croissant was fresh and flaky-yum!

2.5 stars, rounded up. I stopped in on a whim while waiting on a buddy to meet me for lunch. I ordered a fruit tart and it was "just okay".
