"I arrived at around 8:30-9:00 in the morning, ordered a takeout as it was already getting crowded. There were still a few vacant tables left. There was a line at the counter but I didn't have to wait too long to get served. I ordered Angelo on a Baguette. I love the taste, not bland at all! I love the saltiness of the prosciutto, the fresh taste of the pesto, and a little hint of sourness? Maybe vinaigrette on the greens? But anyway, I love how all the flavors come together. I truly enjoyed it. I also like the hot chocolate. Not too sweet but not bland. I got a slice of tiramisu and strawberry shortcake for dessert. I saved the tiramisu for later, but the strawberry shortcake was divine. It has shaved almonds on the side which I didn't expect I would like so much. The cream is not too sweet and the strawberries taste fresh. Also, free tart! I'm so glad I found this place. Will definitely come back!"

The service was excellent - fast and friendly. The spinach salad was delicious.

Kind of a madhouse for brunch, crowded and frenic, but the food was good and the service was excellent.

Cute little cafe with delicious pastries. Coffee is standard but overall a great place for breakfast/ lunch. View menu

Great coffee and amazing croissants. Love the chocolate croissants. Kitchen cooks a great breakfast. Staff is super friendly. Excellent cakes and desserts as well. Cecilio and Armando are fantastic baristas.

Flaccid blond french onion soup with last week’s stale cement-like “toasted” baguette and cold strands of “gruyere” cheese that mght have been mozzarella. Very disappointed. Maybe chef has no experience with this soup.

The restaurant serves excellent cakes at a good price with friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. There is no pressure for a tip, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely return, as I had a delicious mousse cake for only $37. View menu

I experienced severe food poisoning after consuming their chicken sandwich. I felt nauseous immediately after eating it and later that evening, I vomited twice and suffered from intense diarrhea. It is important to mention that the sandwich was the only food I had eaten that day.

Beautiful and delicious cake. Go for something chocolaty like chocolate mousse. Nice and attentive staffs as well. UPDATE: Recently I have tried the pear tart. It is amazing as well! UPDATE 2024/7/20: They have a decent french toast too. I wish they have a better/ more variety of fruit though.
