Arrived at this establishment at 11am today waited in line for 15 minutes with locals confused by the disorder, there was no clear organization of the line or ordering process. This establishment seemed understaffed today. Customers were pushy and anxious to place their orders.
Two employees at registers would both turn their backs to make drinks. Stood at the front of the line at a register for 5 minutes without being acknowledged. Left before placing an order. Pastries looked good, but customer experience needs improvements to say the least.

Amazingly delicious and super busy

Their bread and pastries are really well executed. Coffee was not, creams were empty, and there away a new girl on the register all alone with a long line. Couple of tweaks to my experience and they would be rock solid.

Wide selection of baked goods. Along with some sandwiches of different sorts. It gets super busy and they sell out early. So if you want something specific make sure you get there early.

We had a wonderful breakfast in here. Delicious made to order Crepes & Omelette. Nice little outdoor sitting area if you want some sun. Great Service too.

Been here twice. Each time they've charged me for something but did not place it in the bag. By the time I get home and open it, it's too late. I recommend you check you bag before you leave the shop.

You have to get there early if you want the selection. There was a wide range of pastries and delicious temptations. Keep your self control in check.

We loved ALL their cookies, especially the ginger cookie, and the chocolate chip cookie was still warm and tantalizing.
