    So excited to have a place like this in Wake Forest! The pastry for the chocolate cornetti was so flaky and buttery, and the chocolate filling was perfect: super creamy and rich without feeling overly heavy. Strawberry bomboloni was gorgeous and delicious. Delicious cappuccino as well. Looking forward to trying even more of their menu.

    When you get to taste a really good food, you want to share it with the whole World, don’t you? 😃 I do!❤️ If you like European pastry: yummy texture and flavor, gently added sugar, natural organic ingredients: chocolate is from France(!), whole vanilla beans are from Indonesia; dough is mixed with all the high quality flour etc, it’s right here! We had their khachapuri, the cheese boat, oh my, it was so-so yummy! As well as honey cake and napoleon! The owners, Jack and Alina, are the young couple having a charming 6 months young toddler! They are new to the country, and recently opened this cafe. I would love them to have lots of customers and succeed, to be able to have their amazing cafe nearby!😍 I am excited to try the other things from their menu!

    I’m so glad we have a good little bakery and coffee in WF. I have tried coconut cake, donuts, black forest cake, eclair, strawberry 🍰 shortcake. Everything was amazing ❤️ the desserts are not too sweet - just how I like. Coffee with alternative milk 👍🏻 i’ll be back very soon. I still have to try their tiramisu 🥰

    I had family in town visiting and we were craving some desserts. I have only heard amazing things about this bakery over the past week since it has opened. Jacques was kind enough to take the time to walk us through each pastry in the case so we could choose which ones to share amongst ourselves. He and the woman who took our order were so incredibly friendly and pleasant! The food was delicious. I can't wait to see this business flourish! Thank you!

    The latte was delicious. The cakes were delicious. I have tried apple strudel (yumm!!) a layered Hungarian cake with chocolate on top and walnuts and apricots inside (good with coffee, not too sweet), one of those cookies with jam in between, is that a linzor tort (excellent) and these delicious little cheese rolls. I did not try the donuts. There is not another bakery like this in the area, that I know of.

    True European bakery and coffee owned ran by a European family. They’re really bringing Europe into Wake Forest with amazing cakes, pastries and all types of espresso coffees. If you’re looking for something authentic here you go, but they also have some delicious doughnuts they lovingly inherited from the previous owners. Ice coffee made with a hint of vanilla. They also have sugar free alternatives and non-dairy milk to be considerate for people with allergies or on special diet. They can offer some tea for people preferring that with their cake or cookies.

    This place is one of the best bakeries in Raleigh, hands down. If you want a strong cup of coffee (not the watered down stuff), and a baked good that won’t make your sweet tooth hurt but will pair just nicely enough to keep it balanced — this is the place! Their lattes are SO good, and some of my favorites have to be their panna cotta, the napoleon and any of the croissant choices. The owner and his wife are the sweetest folks & their love for their craft really shows. They are never hesitant to recommend an item or work with you. If I could, I’d be here every day for an iced hazelnut or lavender latte. LOVE this business 💕🩷

    What can I say! This gem in Wake Forest is AMAZING!! The owners are a real life Pixar couple! So kind, knowledgeable and friendly! Now on to the pastries and coffee!! TOP NOTCH!! The perfect combination of savory and not too sweet, brings the perfect light flavors of every pastry! The authentic Italian coffee is smooth and out of this world! A MUST TRY!

    For my honeymoon I took for my wife to Europe, and she fell in love with the little patisseries and bakeries in the Czech Republic and Germany. This lovely Hungarian owned bakery is the closest thing that we have found to the tastes and flavors of Europe. We're so glad to have this resource in wake forest.

    By far the best thing we have had in a very long time. Everything we bought so far ( been tasting since day 1 ) has been amazing. Authentic flavors, I can compare to the tastes from my many visits to Europe. The only downfall is that they are too close and my diet went out the window. 🤩

    Best kept secret in Wake Forest. We just discovered it and absolutely love it. It's charming and the cookies/cakes are fresh. You can tell everything is made from scratch, there is really no comparison. Definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates good pastries and coffee!!!

    Amazing French bakery in Wake Forest, you will meet the sweetest couple Jack and Alina and their baby boy George. They will answer any questions and tell you about the items on display that are made fresh daily. They also serve great coffee and gelato too. Check them out you won't be disappointed, I've introduced a few friends to the place now and finally remembered to take a video and photo will update this as I will take more on my next visit.

    Another great new local business in Wake Forest! So many delicious options to choose from and each one delicious and beautifully prepared. The coffee is also not to be missed out on, especially when paired with the Napoleon! I will happily put this spot on my routine sweet treat fix.

    We have been going to the bakery, savoring pastries and confections every week. The best patisserie in the area, hands down! So glad this bakery opened in Wake Forest and we can experience European delicacies! Today we stopped by and bought Mixed Berry Mousse cake, Eszterhazy torte, Rum balls, Rigo Jancsi, kifli and Cappuccino. All fantastic and authentic! Can't wait to taste everything else they offer and will be back real soon.

    I just love this place and their products. The workers are neat and polite.They give information about the composition and help in choosing. The pastries and pies are incredibly delicious. I recommend this “Paul and Jack bakery & pastry shop” if you want to pleasantly surprise yourself and your loved ones. My favorite is “Bomboloni”and “Napoleon” 10/10!

    I just returned from a trip to Europe and this delightful establishment opened while I was gone-it’s like they knew I would be jones-ing for some delicious pastries and cappuccino. I got the bobolino and pain au chocolat with a cappuccino and they were incredible! Please stop by and give this cafe a try! So good!

  • 5/5 spencer w. 7 months ago on Google
    It was such a pleasant treat finding this new bakery! My initial observation was when the owners were out front, having real conversation with customers, smiles on their face, and comforting personality. The coffee was great but the apricot croissant was the main attraction!!! It was made perfectly, to the croissant itself to the apricot filling. My wife and I agree…we will always come here if we need to come to wake forest again! And oh yeah…the cinnamon roll and the vanilla bomboloni were 5/5 too💯🫡

    Absolutely indulgent and delicious treat! Sierge (I hope I’m spelling his name correctly!) was wonderful and so helpful with my decision of what to order. So many beautiful things to pick from! The Italian hot chocolate was perfect and not too sweet. I had the chocolate croissant based on all the posts I’ve seen on instagram. I also got a slice of basque cheesecake to-go when I left. It looks incredible. I can’t wait to come back!

    My wife and I enjoyed this European-style bakery. When we visited they only were making patisserie sweets, but were told they would eventually start baking breads and some savory items. The cinnamon rolls we had were not a "sugar bomb" like you would find in most places across the US, but rather lean into the more luxuriant buttery cream typical of Scandinavian/Bavarian bakeries. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Wake Forest area.

    Today was a first time visit under the new ownership and pleasant to find still the same quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The woman helping us was very pleasant and helpful. The pastries all presented well and today we tried the red velvet and a carrot cake along with a decadent chocolate mousse to take home. Both cakes were delicious! The cafe' macchiato was very tasteful as well. Highly recommend. Can't wait for the mousse at breakfast tomorrow. 😊

  • 5/5 Terri O. 10 months ago on Google
    We’ve been twice now since they opened . It isn’t your typical super sugary baked goods. It IS perfectly baked confections….you taste every ingredient. It is not “cheap” because they obviously use quality ingredients, but it is no more expensive than when you order dessert at a restaurant after dinner! They have different items each day but use social media to let customers know what’s literally coming out of the ovens! The owners take pride in their delicious desserts and are genuinely excited for you to try different items.

    Warm and friendly customer service, delicious #keto capp made from their Italian beans, really yummy. Yhe bombolini was really good 🤤. We will be back really soon! (To visit the baby of course 😂. He is the cutest, chubby smiling face, already famous!😍)

  • 5/5 Eugene O. 10 months ago on Google
    What a lovely place! Owners are very friendly and get up very early to prepare some special treats. You can tell it’s all made from scratch and with love. The cheesecakes are divine. The cherry pie is decadent and has fresh cherries. It was so good I ate most of it before taking the attached picture. The coffee is top notch as well! Definitely highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Sherry S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely owners, fabulous variety of pastries and coffee offered, and a large selection to custom order! Our apple strudel(fresh and piping hot) and fritter were as good as Germany, and the tiramisu was fresh and fabulous with homemade lady fingers and not done in a haste ❣️
