👍👍 This place has great vibe and great food. In the morning it was packed by people of various ages and interests. Families with children, bikers stoped for coffee, seniors reading fresh newspaper.

    This place has great vibe and great food. In the morning it was packed by people of various ages and interests. Families with children, bikers stoped for coffee, seniors reading fresh newspaper. I loved everything except salads - too much of vinegar and no flavor. If I lived nearby I would have visited this pace every day. So it was a great discovery for me.

    I came here for brunch on my way out of town and really enjoyed it. I ordered the croque madame, which came with a light side salad, and a chai latte with a croissant to go. Service was great and the atmosphere was warm and charming. It was just what I needed for the day and I recommend a visit.

    The pastries are incredible. We keep coming back for the fruit tarts - apricot and apple are the best. The bread is wonderful. It really feels like a European cafe. It's a bit on the expensive side, but worth it as a treat.

    An American take on the French pastry and dishes but it’s executed really poorly. While the presentation of pastries/deserts was nice, the taste was very mediocre. I have definitely had better croissants and quiches. The service was nice though.

    My daughter invited me to go and check out this Cafe' with her. We were both delighted and impressed with our breakfast choices so much that we had to take home some macaroons, tarts, and croissants from the Bakery/Pastry case. They were also excellent. In addition to the wonderful food, the staff that we interacted with were polite and customer friendly. We will definitely be going back. It was such a treat. Thank you Little French Guy!!

    All I can say is. I am so glad this is not my neighborhood. I’ve been wanting to visit this after seeing it in a friends post. I was in the area so stopped by with my daughter. It took everything in me not to buy all the tarts. I still ended up with a great selection, and all were really really ridiculously delicious. The crusts were buttery with the perfect crunch. The fillings were delectable. The mousse was pick from my daughter, and although mousse is not my favorite, I could have eaten this whole container. It was luscious and smooooooth. I will have to make my way east again for another visit. Amazing.
