"Opened during the pandemic as a quick-service outpost of the chef's pastry concept, this bakery offers daily in-house French pastries centered on brioche — available in savory versions stuffed with mushrooms, Parmesan, and nuts and in sweet versions with candied fruit or Nutella — alongside muffins, butter croissants, pain au chocolat, quiches (Lorraine and cheddar-broccoli), ham-and-cheese croissants, and light sides like yogurt, fresh fruit, or chips. It serves La Colombe coffee and a full range of espresso drinks plus wine and beer, is overseen by an experienced pastry team, operates daily from 6 a.m. to midnight, rotates dishes seasonally, and positions itself as an affordable way for guests to sample the extravagant work of the chef's main French restaurant." - Susan Stapleton
