"This is a great place for breakfast and coffee. The service is friendly and efficient. I had an egg benedict croissant and an americano. It was all perfectly done and it's a place I'd like to visit more often, maybe try the bakery too."

"I usually enjoy this place but today was terrible!!! Waited over a hour for food. One dish was not what I ordered and server said it was and walked away. The two dishes that were supposed to be hot were cold not even room temperature. The only good part was the latte that took over 30 minutes to come to the table. I have worked in the restaurant industry and am usually extremely forgiving with restaurants but this was not at all ok. I didn’t let my table complain about the wait because the servers seemed to be doing their best but then to have wrong and cold food after waiting a hour was too much. Not sure when I will be giving this place another chance which is sad because in the past it has been good."

"Loved the details in ambience of this place. Nice display of all their retail products and food & drinks that are available for dine-in/takeout. Ample seating inside and a few chairs outdoors too. Friendly and courteous staff. Got a latte and chocolate croissant as they were out of all others. Liked the Latte, it was well balanced in taste neither too bitter nor too bland. I was surprised when touching croissant and finding it cold. They didn’t ask anything (to warm up) while taking order which is not common when you order a croissant unless the place doesn’t have ability to warm up. Since I took a bit already didn’t want to send back for warming up. Got one of their fruit flavored spreads and a dark chocolate bar, both came up to the mark in taste. Most of the stuff is written in french which is totally fair given its a French store but I expected English translations or the staff to be able to help me understand what those names/ingredients mean. Both the staff were like me with their French vocab so google translation was the rescue."

"Ordered a latte and chocolate croissant. Latte was nice. We’ll balanced and flavorful. The croissant not so much. Didn’t ask us if we wanted it warmed up. Assumed they would but it came out cold. Asked for it to be heated and it came back within a minute. What does that tell you? Microwave. And sure enough the croissant was chewy like it had been nuked. Not great."

"My wife and I went for brunch on a Saturday. I ordered the croque-mister which was pretty good. Savory with a balanced taste. My wife took the egg Benedict with salmon. The salmon was very good and we like the amount of sauce in it. The English muffin in the Benedict however felt a little over done and hard to cut. Otherwise pretty darn good. Their side of potatoes were also lovely. We also tried the game and cheese croissant which was pretty good as well. Definitely recommended. I also took something, I forgot the name, but it was like a strawberry cheese cake. It was tasty as well and would definitely try again."
