The minute I stepped in, I knew it was love at first sniff. The overwhelming desire to buy everything came over me (and luckily, we nearly did since I was in good company).So, whoever didn't rate this bakery 5 stars is out of their gourd because a lot of love and care went into their baked goods, and you can taste it. The bread and Croissants are the perfect balance between crisp and flake. The consistency is just right, and the flavor is absolutely delicious! Their ability to maintain the perfect balance of sweet and savory is impressive since it's not easy to do.I also really liked the customer service here. The staff works hard but at the same time manages to juggle customers gracefully while being attentive.I think the prices are very fair, especially considering the quality of baked goods!If you haven't tried this place yet, go on over and give it a try. You will not be disappointed! ??♀️?

I got strawberry chocolate kouign Amann. Perfect crust. I gave 4star since I wish I could have more filling inside.

Went a couple of times because friends, a few months ago, said it was good and I had seen the line out the door on a Saturday. Both times I went, 3 months apart, during the week, the almond crossaint was dry. It is flaky and crunchy, but kind of dry on the last quarter end each side. No filling til the middle.The middle had a lot of almond paste- too much that it was too sweet and i could not eat it all. Maybe if they made it smaller with the paste not so much in the middle it would be better - a better dispersment of the filling. The choc crossaint had a lot of the flaky pastry but a thin line of choc could hardly taste it. The apple braid was delicious. Crispy crunchy and the right amount of filling to pastry ratio. My favorite so far. More different fruit braids would be great! I went at 8.30a during the week. I was the only customer til another person walked in. The pastries were 6$ plus and they had day old pastries for sale. If the ratio of filling to pastry was better and not too dry on some of them, I would be back more often!

Unbelievable pastries, wish they sold pork though mortadella on the focaccia was killer. The butter croissant is great for making your own sandwiches or just heating up and eating by itself. The scones and hand pies are *chefs kiss* if they still have the baguettes they're soft and aromatic for any sandwich.

Not impressed. Probably the most expensive pastry in the area and it’s not that much good. 2X Croissant $14.

The best bakery in the east bay. Delicious, delicate and artisan. The team goes above and beyond - I ordered pickup for Thanksgiving and forgot to collect, they dropped it off at my home. Thank you for saving Thanksgiving breakfast!
Perfectly flaky croissants. Brioche are fluffy and not too sweet. Everything is delicious and everyone is really nice. It’s worth the drive across town!

The cream cheese garlic bread is amazing. It's garlicky, buttery, and filled with cream cheese, but also a little sweet. The almond croissant is also really good. Not too sweet and has some weight to it. Definitely one of the best croissants I've ever had.

Fantastic bakery, with amazing choices and terrific staff! The focaccia was amazing. Highly recommend if you are looking for a local bakery in the Danville/San Ramon area.

I was excited to have a local patisserie, but was let down by the reviews. I might have to do another run to give it a firm review. For now I give it 2.5.Chocolate almond croissant: way over baked, it was extra toasted/dry and overly sweet. I was quite disappointed as I was expecting quality for the price.

Sloppy baking--my chocolate croissant had three slender batons of chocolate, all shoved to one side of the croissant. Two-thirds was plain and one-third had chocolate. Even if they were evenly spaced, there was a poor croissant-to-chocolate ratio. Not a good value and it felt like the baker could give a sh*t about whomever was unfortunate enough to buy this pastry.The Kouign-Amann was like no Kouign-Amann I've ever had. It was more like a caramelized brioche. So if you're expecting to sink your teeth into flaky, buttery, laminated goodness, you'll get a sad trombone instead.The photos and reviews gave me high hopes. Maybe it was a bad day, or things have changed. Three stars because it was not totally terrible. My husband gives it two stars, but he has higher standards than I do.
