It’s a nice little place that honestly deserves more attention very tasty food and the cashier that assisted me (I believe her name was Victoria) was the most sweetest girl I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting would 100% come again you can tell they put really great care and ingredients to their products and whoever makes the pastries really has a hand for baking

Lucky we found this place. We stumble upon it when we drop off our kid at school. The pastries and dessert are top notch, I appreciate that everything is not American sweet and that let the ingredients shine through. Pretty much everything is of the high French pastry standard. For example, croissanta are airy, fluffy on the inside, with a crispy exterior that is sturdy. Which means the flour type, amount of butter and thickness is each layer is just right. Unlike other croissants at other places, this won't crumble when you cut it with a bread knife. Anyway, must try!P. S. Macaroons are superb.

Everything was sooo delicious, the chocolate in the chocolate tart was smooth and rich but not overly sweet, the strawberries in the strawberry creme brûlée tart were fresh and the crème brûlée was smooth, the lavender macaroon had a good strong flavor, it’s a must for lavender lovers, and the chocolate eclair was yummy and cinnamony.The staff were friendly and were great at helping us choose out of their delicious wide selection. Definitely looking forward to coming back to try more <3

It’s edible because you can eat it but it’s not tasty. If you want an overpriced cake/tart that look pretty then you’ll like this but if you want something that is actually yummy I would pass on these. The macarons were good.

This restaurant offers successful service with attentive staff, but the lack of crowds means that waiting ten minutes for the first item, which is already prepared, feels a bit excessive.

I used to work here, the owners treat their employees really well! I’ve traveled to Paris and different parts of France, and I still think Berry Opera has the best almond hazelnut croissant. All their ingredients are imported from France directly, so it’s no surprise it’s just as good, if better! You can also ask them to warm it up a little bit for you. It makes the difference.

Stumbled upon this little Parisian bakery near my favorite coffee shop and I'm in love! Everything inside is so cute! The pastries are almost too pretty to eat! I got a plain croissant ($4.25) and a mini fruit tart ($3.50). The plain croissant has to be the best croissant I've ever had. Super crispy and flaky on the outside while soft and chewy on the inside. The mini fruit tart was so adorable but they weren't joking calling this thing mini. It's about the size of a half dollar, real mini but so delicious! The girl who helped me said everything is baked fresh daily in house. She was super friendly and helpful. I'm definitely coming back to try their other pastries and cakes.

Tried the matcha opera cake to see if I wanted to get the same cake for my birthday party. It was almost $10 for a very small slice, which I thought was quite expensive. I didn't think the matcha was very strong either, and the cake was really dense and too sweet for me, but I guess that's the style of the opera cake? I ended up going with another bakery in the end. Their other desserts looked lovely though and I thought it was nice that they had some vegan options.

What a South Pas treasure! Incredible pastries, deserts and staff, but first please try the simple ham and cheese baguette. It's perfect. Like grabbing a quick bite in Paris but so much closer!
