Decent vibe, liked the use of live plants, but my cup of coffee and smoked salmon toast not too happy with. First off, try and go earlier than 1pm on a Monday as their pastries were hit hard by previous customers. Others in our group ordered the sweet crepes topped with fruit and liked them. For whatever reason I wasn't in the mood for crepes/pastries but always can go for smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, thinly sliced red onion. They did a great job preparing it and the small salad that went with it was great. What wasn't great is that salmon had a funk. At first I thought maybe I'm picking up a smell that's messing with each bite. Nope. Smoked salmon shouldn't have faint notes of outhouse to it. Stomach wasn't happy for a few hours. Didn't make a big deal because family was taking us out for the occasion and didn't want the mood match the taste of my salmon. The coffee was pretty watery/flavorless for having it black...maybe go with small French presses to match the vibe of the cafe and get more out of the bean - the coffee grinder is right there and hot water aplenty. Next time I'll go earlier, try out some pastries, and maybe stick to a glass of water.
The cannoli chaser strikes again! What a great little bakery - the cannoli spot on, with so many other choices as well. How about the savory Jalapeño cheddar scone, or ham and cheese pastry. The butterscotch pecan scone is an over-the-top treat. The cookies are huge, bigger than a sandwich. One of the largest pieces of quiche I’ve seen in a long time. And if you’re picky about bread, pudding, you’ll want to put this place on your list. I tried the honey lavender latte, and they have several coffee flavors, both traditional and unique. The bathroom is very clean, floors on wall walls are well maintained with good decor. It’s refreshing to see such attention to detail. Thank you again for your kindness!
We popped in today after lunch next door, and grabbed 2 triple chocolate cookies. My husband said these were probably the best cookie he’s ever had! They were absolutely amazing, tasted homemade. Service was awesome too, we’ll be back to try more pastries, and the coffee next time!
We love ya Julian and the other location has always been great, but you might wanna check up on how they're making the drinks here :) Could barely taste the hot chocolate, no chocolate in it at all haha. (Coffee was bland too) Bit disappointing. Pastries were great as always and I will always reccomend, but maybe just check on how employees are making drinks correctly because we can only come here every once in a while to treat ourselves :)
I truly adore this establishment. The owner is incredibly sweet and kind. The food is delicious, and super fresh. The coffee is incredible. I am grateful that they are here. Even if it is dangerously close to my house 😅 My favorites are the classic crepe, the Apple Brie crepe, and of course an iced mocha. They recently started selling Bon-Bon’s. I had to get a box because I’ve never had them before. And I am so excited to try the Dubai chocolate. This place is a treasure.
