    Lovely legit French bakery. Grab a chocolate croissant and a slice of Quiche Lorraine for a sweet/savory balanced breakfast.

    The crépes are AMAZING! My favorite is the Meat Crépe, it has the right amount of bacon and ham. Another plus is they serve Intelligentsia coffee

    The dry salami sandwich is awesome. The pickled vegetables add a nice crunch.

    Three words: raspberry chocolate macaroons. This place would be even better if they had almond milk lattes.

    Its just "aight". Raspberry beignet was good, the filling especially. Almond croissant is good. Macarons are dull, ive had better.
