About
Come for the bakery, not a sit-down meal. The croissants, whether plain or sweet-filled, win people over, and the sourdough loaves and empanadas are the reliable picks. Prices run high and aren't always posted, so expect a bit of sticker shock at the counter. Grab pastries or fresh bread and you'll leave happy.

I have been a customer of this bakery since they first opened. At first I raved about the sandwiches and pastries, the service, and the whole vibe. A kind Costa Rican woman had trained as a pastry chef and she had created this lovely place to enjoy authentic french-style food. She was passionate about quality, authenticity, and presentation. I was willing to pay the high prices because of the quality. I told everybody about it and stopped in weekly to support her business. Fast forward 3 years… NOT THE SAME. They now serve food that is just NOT what you are paying for. Definitely not French bakery quality anymore. The employees are rude and don’t know how to prepare the things on the menu. For example, this “croquet madame” I grabbed this morning for breakfast. The bechamel sauce was grey colored like a thick gravy…and way too much of it. Two thin slices of deli ham were UNDER the (soggy, stale, microwaved) bread. I think there was a thin slice of cheese but I couldn’t taste it with all the thick gravy. I gave it to the dog after getting nauseated from the taste. Similar thing happened last year with the tuna sandwich. Do yourself a favor and pick up a pastry or fresh loaf of bread - DO NOT order prepared food -waste of money
This place is phenomenal! Honestly, probably the best person I’ve had outside of France! Whether you choose one of the sweet filled croissants or a plain original, it will blow your mind. The staff is as well and very helpful.
Food was really great. 5 stars! Prices were very expensive. $160 usd for our family of 5 to have breakfast and 2 loafs of bread. Order at the counter place. No prices of the pastries posted that I could see so we were a little in shock once we got the bill. 5 pastries and one sandwich. 2 coffees and two juices.
