This cafe provides a spacious and relaxing atmosphere, though it’s a bit too dark for my liking. A little more ambient lighting would make it a better spot for chatting and working. The staff really shine here—always greeting you with big smiles and offering superb service. I tried the chocolate almond croissant, which was exactly as expected. It was a nice treat, though nothing out of the ordinary. A subtler sweetness and a fluffier texture in the filled sections would have elevated it. The Cortado was pretty average, too much bitterness, not particularly memorable. Overall, the friendly service makes this cafe highly likable and worth a visit.
Such a cute little hidden gem! We went for brunch on a Sunday and everything was delicious! You order at the counter then grab a seat and they bring everything to you. I've come here before and grabbed some pastries, but this was my first time sitting down and enjoying a meal here. The food came out promptly. My husband ordered the French toast and I ordered the Croque Monsieur. Both were wonderful! The line was long but it moved quickly. And don't bother reserving a table, because hey the time you order tables clear up and there's plenty of seating. We took home a chocolate chip cookie and chocolate almond croissant as well. Their baked goods are to die for!
Tried this place for the first time. Bakery is OK. Not top notch. Fondry serves better baked goods. French Toast wasn’t good. Breakfast Burrito is good. Onion Soup salty. Flat White is a miss. Hojicha Latte was decent. On the whole this doesn’t match French level. Service is lacking. Long wait. So I’m not really sure why I’m paying 18% minimum tip (which is being calculated w tax) when it’s pretty much self serve.
I stopped by this AM to purchase some pastries for myself and my family and was immediately struck by the warm and inviting interior of the cafe. I can imagine enjoying a croissant and coffee here on a lazy morning. There were a number of people already inside when I walked up to the counter. I was struck by how singularly unhelpful the staff was to the customer ahead of me. The customer asked for a side order of an item and the staff said they don't do that. When the customer pointed to the written menu showing that it was indeed being sold, the staff relented. Then the customer asked to have her croissant warmed up, and the staff said "no", they don't warm them up. I was starting to get the soup nazi vibes. When it was my turn to order, I asked for four items. The same staff person bagged each individually. I asked if they could be put in a larger bag or box, and she handed me an unopened bag apparently expecting me to stuff them in the bag myself. She was probably having a bad day, but the fact it was reflecting on how she was serving customers ruined my experience. Despite this, I still paid a 15% tip because I didn't want to be vindictive. My pain au chocolat was not very good. It lacked flakiness and it was a bit too chewy, almost like a corner donut store pastry. My wife had a savory croissant which was a bit better, All in all, if you're looking for a comfortable place to read, study or meet a friend, this is a perfectly fine place. But if you want good French pastry, there are better places in Pasadena .
