Nice French cafe with great food, service and atmosphere. Croissants were very good along with the coffee and everything else we ordered. Will definitely be coming back.

A nice local cafe. However the croissant sandwich with egg and cheese left something to be desired as it appeared to be soggy as a result of being microwaved. The server also seemed a bit grumpy and not happy to be there.

I wish they had a bigger variety for desserts but the food was really good. Got the lemonade and was very disappointed because i think it was fresh but it tasted like a powder mix. Food wise and Napoleon dessert was very good . Great atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing pastries and arguably the best almond croissant we’ve ever tasted. My wife and I stumbled across this bakery while on vacation and we will be going once more to have the almond croissant before heading to our next Florida destination !!!! ? ????? apple turnover absolutely delicious as well. Wish we could have tasted everything in the pastry display !

I’m an enforcement officer in this city, so I try to venture new areas to get my coffee. The lady in the black hair that handed my pickup order was completely rude and didn’t even acknowledged me saying hello or thank you. She just threw my food on the counter and walked away. I know people have bad days but you shouldn’t act in the demeanor. Not coming back. The salmon bagel was good overall

Fast, friendly service without rushing. Delicious food, fresh orange juice, great coffee. A small place that feels intimate and not cramped. Fantastic jazz played at an appropriate volume. Would love to come here again next time I'm in town.Kid-friendliness: Server was very sweet to my daughter.

This has become our go-to French bakery - croissants as they should be!! Put this on the top of your list if you’re looking for an authentic French bakery! We have only ordered for take out, but everyone who has helped us has been incredibly friendly, offering suggestions. The hot chocolate is delicious as well!

I ordered breakfast this morning from this cafe through Postmates. There were three breakfast sandwiches and two almond croissants, all arrived crushed and cold. The almond croissants were crushed flat in a paper tray inside of a paper bag? The eggs inside of the bacon egg and cheese croissant as well as the spinach and feta croissant were overcooked, crushed and packed the same way as the almond croissants. I would like to think that if I was inside the restaurant it might have had a better experience.

Great food, coffee, staff and location! Definite check it out. My only criticism is about their use of disposable plastic plates/forks etc."Americans discarded 51m tons of wrappers, bottles and bags in 2021 – about 309lb of plastic per person – of which almost 95% ended up in landfills, oceans or scattered in the atmosphere in tiny toxic particles."Let's all do our bit for the environment.

I just stopped by to purchase a bottle of water, and I was surprised by the fact they have real orange juice, like squeezed at the time you order... something quite rare in this country.

The Deauville is just such a great baguette sandwich! I make a special trip regularly just to get it. Love this place! Merci mille fois!

Was looking for an alternative cafe in the area and was looking forward to a quaint french cafe/bakery. Unfortunately, it was met with food & coffee that became boring to masticate. The coffees we ordered did not taste to have espresso in them, while the food (while somewhat more visually appealing) tasted aged (not fresh) describing what I would consider American cookery disguised as French cuisine.Dietary restrictions: Offers alternatives to cow's milk

Incredibly slow... 10 minute+ for a pastry & a cold tea? And that was with 5 people working.
