I came here multiple days in a row for lunch while I was in town! The croque monsieur, Caesar salad, French onion soup, croissants, quiches, baguettes, and sandwiches were all delicious!! Service is quick and the interior is cozy. Highly recommend.

A lovely experience every time!! The pastries are beautiful and also delicious. My only negative is that in 2025, they only offer half and half or skim milk... no nondairy options like almond, coconut or soy! Slightly annoying for someone who is lactoseintolerant and has a monthly breakfast meeting scheduled there!!
