I feel fortunate to have access this incredible place. The service is efficient and the selection is above standard. I do wish the service area was larger as it can be overwhelming with customers and access to self serve is where people wait. I do not like feeling rushed and a favorite term by attendants is “anything else????”— it’s like, “lady, I just got here and there’s five people standing in front of the case

Take Out ONLY Berkery with WOW presentation. I specially liked beautiful Fig-Pomegranate Galettet(until Oct 8) There's no seating and no service... I just wish they had a café setup! Sometimes people line up. Sometimes people line up. There are a few parking spots in front of the store and along the street.

We go every Sunday morning and have bought various tarts both sweet and savory and get our multi grain bread. Today , we bought the bread and pistachio raspberry crusted madeline (really good). The quiches have also been excellent. My favorites are the eggplant gallete and the canelle. The service has always been efficient and professional. I try to go early because it gets very busy on the weekends. For great breads savory tart and sweets, you can't go wrong here.

You cannot go wrong here. There's a reason why this place's products are carried by numerous cafes in the city. You might have to wait in a line on weekends, especially in the morning. They carry both regular and savory pastries and have seasonal specials throughout the year. If you are a first time, try the custard flan croissant, it is very, very good. Unfortunately only for takeout. This Place has no seatings available, nothing. Not even utensils nor napkins. I wish they would add outdoor seating. Parking is somewhat limited but customers are going in and out quickly.
