Daniel ChvatikJune 27, 2015Croque Madam at the restaurant or Pain de Gruyere at the bakery are to die for.- Try the croissant aux amandes!! Croissant & pains au chocolat are a little bit dry, but I'm sure it's because it's the first days...
paulina yickAugust 11, 2013There is no wait to get a table in summer. Their French onion soup is one of the best in town
Shirley LiuJune 30, 2013Breads are so good -- my faves were the white chocolate brioche and the pan Au gruyere
jonathan hegranesApril 9, 2013there will likely be a line.... fortunately you can pick out a great snack from the bakery while you wait.
Michelle CheungAugust 28, 2013Whatever, whatever. Good but never amazing. The sugar cubes they have for coffee and tea are a nice touch though.
JulieAugust 7, 2013Sad face: everything has flour in it. Happy face: cortado is great and the people are so, so nice!
truly one of the best baguettes in the city. and financiers. and oh my their almond croissants!
Summer IzkovichAugust 7, 2014The French onion soup was amazing! The brunch was ok though. Def try the chocolate croissant!!
Great patisserie. Grab a salad and a demi-baguette for a to go lunch.
You can baguette they know what they're doing here! Best bread in town!
Andrew GutierrezJanuary 8, 2013Baguette Monge, viennois au chocolat blanc are everythingggg.. Authentic Paris pastries and baguette
Blue Man City ManMarch 24, 2016Good for dinner. French food is good with a nice selection of dessert pastries.
loran jonakAugust 28, 2018If you want to sit, you have to order from the menu, not from the deli, even if you spend $30+ and there are plenty of seats.
Super cute, lovely sweets, tasty baguettes and fab macchiato!!
French onion soup: loaded with yummy drippy gruyere cheese and baked! Messy to eat, stupid to not eat!
The croque-Madame is great. And the pistachio financier is amazing!
Lori K. http://www.lkpheartsfood.netJanuary 5, 2015Almond croissants are a must-buy. I'd pass on the berry eclair next time.
Alexandre BolzeOctober 17, 2013Dont come too late for dinner or a lot of the desserts will be sold out. Great eclair!
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanJanuary 4, 2014During the cooler months, skip the hot chocolate & go for the soupe a l'oignon gratinée.
Besides the sweets, don't forget the freshly-baked breads. (Though hit the sweets first.)
Food is good but the service is slooooooooow. 45 minutes and I just got the appetizer. Wonder how long it will take for the other food to come out...
Edgar RAugust 11, 2013Dang! These vegetarian sandwiches are out of these world better than the meat sandwiches.
