Perfect stop after a run on the Minuteman! Lemonade was perfectly tart and sweet. Chai latte wasn't sweet but they have simple syrup. Croissants had ample filling and a nice texture -- sure they'd taste even better warmed!

Woah. This might be the best chocolate raspberry croissant that I've had in the United States. The outside was crunchy, inside was well layered and flaked. The raspberry and chocolate together is almost unfair how good it is. Coffee was pretty solid too. This place rocks.

Amazing little bakery that is a well-deserved favorite of the community! Stopping by was a great experience with friendly staff and a line that moved very quickly. The pizza slices are truly lovely, the texture of the bread is so fluffy and light while the flavors are always yummy. The pastries all look great and taste just as good, the cardamom swirl is definitely a must-try but can’t go wrong with anything here!

I set out to get myself a pastry and ended up with a whole box of pastries because I couldn't choose. Everything was beautiful and ultimately quite delicious. The service was great; fast and polite and very helpful. There was a wide variety of hot drinks and everyone in line got their items very quickly. Awesome little spot, I can't wait to go back with my family and try the other things I didn't get the first time.

Stopped by in the afternoon for coffee with a friend. The espresso chocolate cake was really good—rich chocolate flavor that paired perfectly with the coffee. The atmosphere is good for quick catching up. Not bad overall.
