Clarissa BlancoSeptember 8, 2012Come for the twinkle lights. Stay for the mousse. Ok and maybe You've Got Mail has something to do with it.
Christine Galinski FerschweilerSeptember 1, 2013Spendy but good...really cool to eat where they filmed "You've got mail"
Suzette NguyenFebruary 29, 2012Cakes here are great. And so this there food. You have to come and try it
Love the raspberry cheese cake Ive been coming here since I was a child and I still love it! Great ambience!
Latte Machiato + Scone with Devon Cream & Strawberry Preserves FTW 👌
I walk here from the upper east craving one thing. A scone with clotted cream and jam!
Adil IbrahimMarch 30, 2016It's way crowded, the live music is way too loud, and ~$9 for a slice of cake? The cake was ok, we got the Belgian chocolate cake . . . but I've had better. It wasn't too bad.
Kate K.January 24, 2010The "You've Got Mail" cafe! Very busy for weekend desserts but worth the wait. Try the maple pecan or Oreo cheesecakes.
Marlene AiadJune 22, 2011Best creme brule ever. They dont make it that good anywhere in paris. Service is amazinggggg
Mike R.December 31, 2011Try the Gouda And Spinach Sandwich - Great with the Greek salad and potatoes.
Valentina MonteFebruary 20, 2013Dine here then stop at the Apthorp nearby to fully Ephron yourself...
Scott WoodsApril 25, 2010Great venue with a fun atmosphere...The chocolate indulgence dessert & hot chocolate combo is a must
Strawberry lemonade and americano. Hastasiyiz dedeee!!!
This is also a great brunch spot. Go before noon. You also get a little piece of chocolate with your fair-trade coffee.

Sara RoNovember 24, 2017Very overrated really sad they dont take the time and resources to invest on their food
When you order (hot) coffee, don't forget to eat the little Toblerone right away or set it aside so it doesn't melt.
Eric EncAugust 11, 2019It used to be a great spot but taste and service got horrible (with an attitude as add-on)... Beware if possible
Ange SDecember 1, 2012It really is very loud in here. But the service isn't bad, and the decor is lovely. Maybe a better,poace to visit on a weekday morning?
Jim RayApril 4, 2019If you find yourself in the year 2000, slightly wine-hungover, having watched Moulin Rouge the night before, looking for a place to plan your post-graduation tour of Europe, this is the place.
TiffaniJuly 18, 2010Fabulous yogurt with fresh berries and amazing chocolate croissant is to die for.
- If you order a waffle over whipped cream and strawberries, you won't be disappointed.
