We were very pleased with this restaurant. Staff is welcoming. Food was delicious and different. Not the usual sandwiches. I had a crepe spinach and chicken sandwich that was very large! And came with a side salad. My husband had ham and cheese with two eggs on top using brioche bread which was made in house then we treated ourselves to a couple of housemaid delicious desserts. Don't know if this was a mistake but they charged 4.50 for one regular coffee. That's a bit much. Overall very pleased

My grandma would always say. Life is short eat dessert first. I am so glad I did here. Their creamy fresh turn over was perfect. I tried the tuna croisant... it was on point. Perfect for a quick lunch and nice quiet breakfast with your significant other. Or maybe just a solo enjoyment.

Love this place. I came her specifically to try the pastries with my family. We also grabbed some coffee and was pleasantly surprised that they served good coffee/espresso drinks. For starters the restaurant is super cozy and inviting. There are tables, a sitting area, and even bar stools where we sat with our coffee and pastries. We ordered several items to try the out and they were all fantastic. The Paris-Brest was all almond praline. I prefer hazelnut but the filling was still delicious. The pavlova was perfect. Crisp, fluffy and not overbaked. Chocolate mousse was super rich and chocolate. The croissants are to die for. Crisp, buttery, and flaky even a day or two old. Hope they have pain au chocolat next time. Service was 100%. The young lady that took our order was polite, friendly, and super helpful with all our questions. We are definitely going to come back. I can't wait to try the croque madame and croque monsieur sandwiches!

Very tasty and aesthetic food, great pastries too! Very sweet waiters and staff. The seating arrangements are kind of funny, but a lot of people can fit into the shop and the place overall is like a hidden gem. Prices can add up, but the portions are large. Would recommend.

I'm reviewing now, even though it's my first time here, so I can find it again and come back! I had the la saumon crepe, watermelon juice and an affogato for coffee/dessert. Everything was very delicious! The servers were attentive an d sweet. And I loved feeling like I was in France while in the middle of the Central Valley! Lovely little spot!

Found this hidden gem. Food was 8.9 out of 10. The desert was 8.5 out of 10. The food was great and filling. Good spot to have brunch or breakfast date. Recommend this place 100%. I took a desert to go.
