Really good drinks and pastries. The only thing that threw me off was that the last time I was there I really wanted a chai latte and I was refused service because I was 25 min before closing time. They said that they take 45min to close the espresso machine so they couldn't help me :(Luckily the Peet's nearby saved the day!

Love this place especially the store in Palo Alto is in a nice quaint area. Their Kouign-amann is my personal favourite and can eat it all day any day! It’s perfectly flaky and sweet. Their coffee and espresso drinks are good too.

good bread, a bit dry and dense, but good flavors. sourdough loaves are pretty sour which is good!

The people were friendly and were patient. Depending on when you visit them, their baked goods of the day may change. Go early if you do get an idea of what they're baking, at the end of the day they might not have any more.I bought some monkey bread from them (Thursday) and a chocolate souffle cake that me and my dad enjoyed (even after reheating). The souffle reminded me of a lava cake so even if it cooled down was still delicious. Unfortunately, they didn't have them available on any of the other days I went to take a look.They seem to have a set menu and sandwhiches available theoughout the day that I didn't get to try. All of it looked good though.

Absolutely best coffee and best service. Staff is really friendly. Highly recommend the monkey bread or biscuit breakfast sandwich.

I come here often, to pick up loaves of bread for home, or to sit with my daughter (9 months at the time of writing) so she can taste a pastry or two.The selection of bread and pastries is small, but really really good. I challenge you to find better breads, in particular. If I’m having guests over and want to serve them the best, I know I have to stop here.The coffee is from Verve and the baristas are consistent. I enjoy my cortado each time I order it.The servers know us (well, they know my daughter) and treat us like neighbors. It is a welcome feeling.

The bread and desserts here are delicious; no doubting that.Today (12/4/23) at about noon I bought a turkey sandwich for lunch. The Turkey had a strong taste of freezer burn; it tasted terrible. This experience was at odds with most of my visits, where the food was delicious. Hopefully this issue can be addressed.

Having tried my fair share of bakeries...I heard about this place and I was in the neighborhood and tried it out. By midday/afternoon, they are sold out of a lot of items on a weekend..to be expected. I did try the monkey bread which was super moist and not too sweet, the squash muffin which had a delicious crumble on top and not overly sweet again, the kouign aman was on par with B patt (iykyk) and the croissants were ok. I tried the almost and plain...and were just a meh for me. They had more things I wanted to try but they were sold. Fast friendly service. This place still deserves a five star bc outside of their croissants, everything I had there was delicious

Generally poor service and mediocre bread, was expecting much more from the reputation.Food prep person was eating while preparing our food. Service was also very slow. Sausage biscuit was cold in the center.Ambiance was pretty basic compared to Bay Area staples like Tartine in the mission.Doesn’t live up to expectations.

Super crowded location, which is a good thing. It means that it's popular and good. I just wanted to try something, so I got the plain croissant. Unfortunately, It was just ok sorta like the kind you get at any grocery store or donut shop. I was expecting a buttery, flakey, crisp, and multi-layered. Which this wasn't. It was a cold and soft croissant. Though, the Monkey bread and KA looked good. Next visit.

Best bread in the peninsula, even better than Tartine in SF (although i would consider them both top tier breads).I would love love them to add a Morning bun like Tartine has, we really dont have any good morning buns in the area. The midwife and baker has one but it's burnt.
