Belleville

I was excited to finally try Belleville, and I must admit- the croissants are delicious! The cold brew, however, was on the weaker side though I do appreciate that they don’t charge for oat milk. I have to echo some other reviewers and say that the service felt a bit cold. Overall, it’s a great place for croissants but maybe better enjoyed to-go.

Belleville Bakery (or BLVL, as is printed on the front door) offered a relatively limited selection of pastries, most of the laminated persuasion. I had a cardamom bun, which was very good, though it had only a hint of cardamom taste. My friend had the morning bun which was satisfying, but nowhere near as good as Bread & Friends’ offering. What set this bakery apart, however, was the subpar customer service. “Subpar” is being generous. The one employee present when we walked in did not greet us, did not ask if she could help us, did not even change her expression—which could only be described as surly—as we approached the counter. In fact, the only time she spoke was to tell us the total amount we owed. No “thank you”, no “enjoy”, no “have a nice day”, nothing. When another person appeared to make our drinks, the energy in the bakery felt as though the two employees had been quarreling just before we arrived and now were not speaking to each other. Tension. In. The. Air. The second person made an Americano for me, which was fine, and a hot chocolate for my friend, which had a beautiful design in the whipped cream topping, but was lukewarm and tasted like Swiss Miss®️ powdered hot chocolate. The barista did not announce our drinks when they were ready and did not say a word or even glance in my direction when I retrieved the drinks and said, “thank you”. My friend and I agreed that the lack of even the most basic of “customer service” niceties left us feeling we would not want to return to Belleville.

We've been wanted to try their pizza forever. Finally both had the day off together. Sadly we were very disappointed. The initial girl behind the counter made us feel like we were bothering her. We both order one slice of margarita each. There was zero basil and crust was too flaky.

Belleville is such a delight. They truly have some of the best pastries in Portland. Everything is baked to perfection and their service is kind and welcoming! I would recommend their morning buns (10/10) and their new (special) Salty Honey Latte was amazing! Get there early because they usually sell out or switch to Pizza. That’s right. PIZZA! It’s awesome! There is street parking, only, so be prepared to parallel park. It is so worth the drive to Munjoy Hill. Enjoy!

The croissants, the pan au chocolate, the maple brioche bun and the lemon brioche were delicious. Staff was friendly and the kids loved the hand pressed orange juice bottles. The cafe and espressos were very good with the pastries.

The choices here were spectacular. The almond croissant was very crispy with a generous amount of almond paste in the middle. If you are looking for soft centered croissants, the almond croissant is not the way to go. Also got the morning bun. Essentially a cinnamon roll sans icing with extra sugar/cinnamon on top. What really caught my eye was the kimchi danish. Had a chive cream cheese type filling under the kimchi. Worked so well together. Would def get this again!

I've never been to France....but I'd say these pastries are pretty spot on! The Ham and Cheese Crossiant and Egg Danish were delicious.

Amazing croissants and pizza here. Coffee was okay, i got a milky iced cappuccino but the pastries redeemed it. Pizza is light, crispy fresh bread with ricotta and summer squash on top for a little tang from salsa verde.

One of my favorite pastry items ever, is the flaky and oh-so-savory ham, cheese & dijon croissant from Belleville. It's a decadent treat for myself. I absolutely LOVED the pizza from their early days, but haven't had a slice in the past few years. Belleville truly hits its stride with the pastry items, from cookies to their citrus bun. Every now and then they do specialty-seasonal or holiday forward item (like their upcoming Valentine's day cake!) that are always a hit. The coffee/tea leaves something to be desired. I love to swing by in person during the week (you won't catch me there in the summer on the weekends since the line is out the door).

This was our last stop on our last day in Portland. What a phenomenal bakery. Everything fresh. Everything delicious. The ham and cheese croissant with Dijon was bomb. The cardamon bun? Yes, also bomb! I can't remember the name of what my girl got, but it was a spin on an everything bagel w cream cheese. If you said bomb, you guessed right. The only minor complaint would be the coffee was not hot. Both of ours. They were just above room temp. But listen. The display case here seems like it can do no wrong. I got a plain and an almond croissant to go. The plain one got eaten on the ride and it was great. I can almost guarantee the almond croissant will be delicious, even the next day. This is a highly recommended spot for some amazing baked goods. Do yourself a favor and go. Now! ENJOY!!!

Cute coffee shop. Staff were super nice and after they made my drink I had additional questions and they were extremely hospitable and accommodated my request! Morning bun had the perfect level of sweetness and texture was a perfect balance of moist and flakey. Latte was delicious and the rosemary complimented the coffee well

This was a small little spot which we stopped into in the morning. The space was small a pretty nice. The service was also good with the employees being very friendly. The selection of pastries and sandwiches was limited but we went at 10:00am which could've been the problem The pastry we got had cream in the middle of two soft buns. We found it to be very delicious and not overly sweet. The sandwich was also very good with the bread being the star. But the coffee and chai latte were disappointing. They weren't very flavorful and very watery. Overall the pastries and sandwiches are must but the coffees and lattes didn't seem to hit the mark. And there just really wasn't much to choose from. I would give this place a go though if you're in the area *this is only our opinion*

Stopped by around 10am on a Saturday and it was already bustling in here! This is a cozy, light-filled cafe, with just a little bit of window seating. Most people bought things to-go. I ordered a classic croissant and a citrus bun -- both were delicious. The croissant was impossibly flakey, the citrus bun had just the right amount of zing and chew. Service was prompt. I'm excited to come back soon and try the other items/beverages on the menu!

Brought my girlfriends here for brunch. This place is so cute. They have an assortment of coffee and tea orders as well as pastries. The croissants are a favorite of mine - unbelievably flaky and crisp with no bizarre fillings. But the shining star of this place is definitely the pizza: they put EFFORT into their flavor combinations and proximity to the eastern promenade almost ensures a personal pie and park date for 2 in my future. The service was SO friendly and i love the location next to that bizarre inland lighthouse on north street.

I came here at approximately 11AM on a Saturday. And man were the coffers empty!! Really unfortunate that they sell out of stuff so fast - but a testament to how good their food is. They were completely out of the pastries, but I did get to have a slice of their pizza which was very tasty! Atmosphere was classic cute coffee shop. My future recommendation and hope is that you place an order ahead of time, or go early/on a weekday to hopefully try a wider array of their stuff. 4 stars because of limited access and basically running out of everything but what I did have was delicious. Hope to come back, try more, and leave an updated 5 star review...

Delicious pastries and coffee from a cute little shop in munjoy hill - so flaky and delightful! What's even better if you can walk a couple block to the eastern promenade to enjoy the goodies. I ordered a choc au pain, kouign amann, and some sort of brownie in addition to an iced latte this time around. Devoured it all, but I think I liked the depth of flavor in the brownie the most this rainy morning on the prom.

Highly recommend visiting on a rainy and cold Saturday morning in November! We even used Belleville's address to pick an Airbnb for a weekend visit to local friends. Delicious pastries + espresso drinks + Eastern promenade walk were an A+ morning itinerary. The pain au chocolat and cardamom bun were both as excellent as imagined. Kind and efficient folks at the counter too. Looking forward to future visits!

This little pastry/coffee/pizza spot is very cute inside and packs a punch with flavor. Really enjoyed my maple mocha as well as the BLT and croissant we had. Service was quick and straightforward. Only taking off one star because the prices of the pastries are a liiiiiiitle bit high, but not horribly unreasonable. It does seem like they sell out pretty quick so if you want specific items you have to show up early or order the day before. Also heard that their pizzas are fantastic, will hopefully return one day to try those!

Portland is bakery rich but pastry poor. And I mean bakeries that make viennoiseries, not muffins and cookies bigger than your face (no offense to those who love little Debbie's style baked goods). Til this year, the only place in the area where I could find *pastries*, the buttery, flaky bites of heaven, was really only Standard Baking that lived up to those expectations. You can get a croissant or a pain au chocolate anywhere, but anything more you can fugedaboutit. Then in my searches for pastry glory I found Belleville...right after the pandemic hit. I don't follow them on social so had no idea about all their pop up events, but finally I've gone. This year the pastry gods struck southern Maine hard and has blessed us with many options, but of them all, I think that Belleville has won the gold for me. Their Kouign Amann is tiny but mighty. Their croissants come in plain, almond, and hazelnut - all perfection. They call their pain au chocolats, "pain au chocolat" (I have no idea where "chocolate croissant" came from, it's not even a croissant shape, but I guess "bread made of chocolate" doesn't sound that great!) Their cardamom bun is epic glory in all it's bun-ness and cardamom-ness. In fact, this is what really keeps me coming back. They have a pastry limit which while my eyes exceed, my order doesn't. The only thing keeping me from gaining weight is the fact that they only open a few days a week. Whew. I have yet to try their pizza but that will be coming very soon. I can finally bid my failed searches goodbye when the pastry need hits me. So long, farewell, I eat pastries. No more Whole Foods disappointment anymore!!

Croissants, coffee, pizza, lots of great food friendly team members, but there missing listening to customers on drink orders - acknowledging but not executing. The tip screen is by far ridiculous 20- 25-30 % auto tip after buying coffee and pastries The tip could be $18 Sorry need the liberal wokeness to become a bit tamed.

I came here on a Saturday and the line was out the door. I got an almond croissant, ham and cheese croissant and some sort square pear treat. The almond croissant was large and delicious. I liked that the ham and cheese croissant had mustard in it! The pear treat was alright, but I will say I didn't eat it day of pickup. Overall a great little bakery if you're looking for some croissants!

Great neighborhood patisserie. I don't know if you can go wrong with anything that they offer. The pastries are excellent. The pizza is also not to be missed. The pizza comes out later in the day. The place is usually packed on the weekends so if you show up without having ordered ahead, you'll have to wait in line. I have never waited in line but it seems to move pretty quickly. The pro tip is to order ahead online. Easy in and out. The only disadvantage is that they do "special" items that aren't available to order ahead. But I am fine with everything that's offered for online order. The space inside is a bit cramped but it's set up well and it has a lot of natural light. I haven't been in the new location on Forest Ave yet but it's just. a pickup spot anyway. Please give Belleville a try!!

If there was ever a place that deserved 5 stars, it's Belleville. The pastries! The pizza!

Belleville never disappoints! I love to pick up a box of delectable goodies and savor them at the eastern promenade nearby. They serve up Tandem coffee which makes the best pairing with your treats. Also, LOVE that they have a preorder system so you are guaranteed your pick of pastries which also makes for an easy grab-n-go. The highlight of Belleville is their laminated pastries so make sure you try a croissant (or two, or three!

I can confidently say I have never had a better pastry in my life. You absolutely NEED to get the Kouign Amann (pronounced Queen Amahn) - it's a croissant with caramelized sugar in the middle, and it kind of creates a custard. After the first bite I immediately wished I had bought a second one because I didn't want to share it with my partner! The insides are buttery, flaky, layered - all the words you want to hear in a croissant. As an added bonus, Belleville has coffee and espresso-based drinks which pair perfectly with all the tasty treats you are bound to pick up while you're in here! They're only open Friday through Sunday right now, and I'd suggest getting there early to make sure you have your choice of all the pastries they offer! They go quick!

Never had better! I ate all three and they were exquisite! Be prepared for a line. They are very popular.

I love a croissant. So much. My love for croissants is as infinite as their many buttery flakey layers. So when I first saw this place on the gram, I knew I had to give it a try. Today we got the egg and cheese, croque monsieur (basically instead of break they made croissant bread. I know...), a chocolate almond, and a cinnamon bun (also a croissant). Everything was amazing! I will saw they were a little on the brown side, a little more cooked than I would like, but they tasted great. I particularly loved my egg and cheese croissant because the egg was some how not well done so the yolk still had a nice gooey texture like that of a perfect 6 minute egg. It also had cheese (duh) and rosemary on top. A perfect start to any Sunday morning. 100% need to come back to check out the pizza selection.

Belleville came highly recommended so on our last day in Portland before heading home, we got the croissant, cardamom bun and almond croissant. The croissants were amazing. No others words to describe it. Get it. The cardamom bun had a good cardamom flavor however I personally am not a fan of doughy heavy buns.

This will come as a surprise (it did to me), but aside from having incredible pastries and decadent breads, Belleville has the best pizza in town. Hands down no competition-- the crust is incomparable, I would eat the red sauce by the spoonful. Trust me, try it.

Anyone that knows me can appreciate my love of pastry, especially a classic French pastry and when you add croissant into the mix the expectations and standards are elevated. This past Thursday / Friday we visited Portland for the very first time. The hotel was fine, local meals ok, however the true highlight that justified the 5 hour drive (normally 3.5 however there were 2 accidents and 1 detour)was Belleville. I am still talking about the Cinnamon Roll and Croissants (Classic and Almond). This baker knows what they are doing! We ate no less than 5 different items and each was perfectly baked, with the correct color and texture (not undercooked like so many people seem to enjoy, lord knows why) and when I got to the Cinnamon Roll I had forgotten about the horrific drive up from CT, the less then stellar hotel and mediocre meal, it was sublime, sheer perfection! If there is any justification to return to Portland, there is only one and that would be Belleville.

They do have the best croissants around, slightly beating out Standard baking. Wish they made more of everything. Every weekend feels like a rush against time to try and get there before items run out. Why not make more stuff instead of disappointing customers all the time?

Wowza this place is amazing! I'd been stalking them on Instagram for awhile and finally made it up after the gym a few weekends ago...I'm already plotting my return! I'm obsessed with pastries and am always seeking out the best laminated options in any city. These are hands down the best in Portland and maybe even Maine.....actually I don't think I've found any better in all of New England. (AJ King in Salem, MA is close!) They've mastered the dough and serve it up in a number of ways. I tried the classic croissant, blueberry crostata, cinnamon bun and egg and cheese croissant (I tried to stop ordering but couldn't...) All of the above were amazing it's hard to even pick a favorite (so I won't). You won't be disappointed with anything you pick. I'm only bummed they brought out the passion fruit cruffin later in the day. Do yourself a favor a get here ASAP. I'll be back for more... and for pizza too!!

Based on my extremely limited social media accounts, the word is OUT about Belleville! And well it should be. In a town that keeps raising the pastry/baked good bar. Belleville came in on what was already a strong game and is kicking some serious croissant ass! Stopped in for the first time last weekend near closing time and bought what they had left, 2 plain croissants and 2 brioche buns. One might think this could prove to be lackluster or uninteresting options. WRONG!!! The croissants were so good, so expertly constructed, that we ended up taking small bites and then analyzing why each bite was so exceptional. The layers of butter The perfectly crisp exterior The perfectly soft interior There was absolutely no need to add jam or butter, and once they were both eaten, we became sad and started planning our next trip.

Stubbled on this place one morning while goIng for a walk it is very small, I was not even sure what it was I am so happy to have found it . Croissants were excellent. Everyone was very friendly and the food all appeared to be freshly made. I have not yet made it back there for the pizza but it looks like it is worth a trip.

excellent Viennese style bakery . And Thee best cardamon buns ever and almond croissants and good coffee ! consistently excellent. Thank you Belleville .

A croissant destination So good Heaven would be sitting in BLVL eating croissant with coffee and staring out the large windows with a good book.

Of all the excellent bakeries in Portland, this is one of our favorites. The pastries, including the croissants, are better than some I've had in Paris. Standouts include the cardamom bun and the perfectly-balanced apple cider-glazed breakfast bun, not too sweet!

Well, this is it. This is my favorite bakery anywhere. They have perfected the art of the laminated dough. When you walk in, you're enticed by all the delicate pastries as well as the rustic-looking breads. Luckily I came on a bit of a rainy day so there crowds were lighter and I didn't have to wait in line. It was really tough making my choice as everything looked delicious. This place makes the most delicious croissants, danishes, and morning buns. I went with the pear pistachio danish since the fruit on top looked so fresh. I was not disappointed. It was AMAZING. The pastry portion was so crispy and flaky and perfect. The custard part of the danish was smooth and creamy. The pear was rice and the perfect accompaniment to the custard. Altogether, it was the perfect pastry. The pastries here are so delicate and made with such finesse. I can honestly say I don't think I've had a pastry this good even in Paris.

Belleville is a tiny walk up bakery in Portland, Maine that also sells pizza. It seems an unlikely place to find the best croissant in Maine, but find it we did. Nice brisance, beautiful texture, good flavor profile, just a bit light on the flour to butter ratio. Overall a 6.2 on my 1-10 likert-type croissant scale, the highest rating I've given to date. The chocolate croissant, more properly referred to as pain au chocolat, were even better. I don't have a scale for pain au chocolat, but if I did, they might be in the high sevens. What a morning!

Granted we arrived her 30 minutes before closing Only to come upon a locked door. There were still people inside drink coffee so we thought the door was stuck and we tried the door again. The young lady behind the counter rolled her eyes at us walked over, unlocked the front door and opened it for us and before we can even finish walking over the threshold she proceeded to mumble "we only have a palmier left unless you want some coffee" I then asked oh so you are already closed? And she repeated herself a palmier left unless you want some coffee" I asked her what the palmier was as I was not familiar with it and she looked at me annoyed. I happened to look up at the person at the window above the cashier and she furrowed her brow in annoyance and laughed at my question. As soon as we made eye contact she stepped behind the wall laughing. My sweet husband tried to salvage the tense atmosphere an ordered a vanilla latte. I paid for his drink. Waited for his drink and walked out the place without looking back. It's a shame that's how these ladies choose to treat their customers on this day. And I guess it was my fault to assume that they would actually be open during their posted hours of operation. In regards to the vanilla latte... it's little on the light side... not great but not horrible either. This review is more about their service and how that effects the ambiance of this bakery.

Let me just start by saying I LOVE THIS PLACE. Quite possibly the best croissants you'll be able to find in the Portland area. Their pizza is also out of this world, I often enjoy a slice of the rosemary fig or the margarita. Though, everything they have is absolutely delightful, along with the staff. Such an adorable spot for a little snack!

Really excellent bakeries. Hate to say it, but better croissant than anything I had in Paris... really interesting pastries too with some unusual flavor combinations.

I just finished the best almond croissant of my life. And the cardamom bun. And the Swiss chard turnover! If you're in Portland and have even a passing appreciation for mind-blowing pastries, hit this place up.

For a while, every time I came to Belleville they were sold out of pastries. Didn't matter when I came. I've left empty handed here more times than I can count. Locals and folks from away are loving what Belleville is doing, and well they should be: it's a sleek spot, extremely minimalist in decor (which allows the customer's focus to be entirely on what they're about: pastries and pizza which sit along their granite countertop - the first thing you see when you walk in), with huge floor to ceiling windows that pour light in. The staff is friendly, outgoing, and engaging. I have only ever had a pleasant experience here (even when I'm told they're out for the day, they do it in such a nice way)! The pastries themselves are darker baked (I think this is the traditional French style) making the first few layers rather crispy and the rest very tender (heads-up if you're not used to this), the croissants are the picture of laminated perfection, and the size is just right to feel indulgent. For me, though, the chocolate croissant wasn't all that chooclatey and the almond croissant wasn't all that almondy (having lived in Europe I was expecting just a little something more from these, y'know?) - so this wouldn't necessarily be my first choice in town. The pain au raisin is also good, but the darker bake makes the raisins a bit hard. The egg and cheese croissant is an absolute thing of beauty and unlike anything I've ever had anywhere else - there's not much cheese, but how they get the yolk to sit there all innocent like and then explode in a gooey mess when you take a bite is fantastic. I would gladly eat one of these every day if possible (and it's not, because as I mentioned earlier, they sell out fast). It's all a matter of preference, and for me I certainly wouldn't say no to a Belleville pastry if someone bought me one!

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! These were the finest, most delicious, perfect pastries I have ever eaten. The beauty of the pastries was eye catching. We ordered six and tried them all. The cardamom bun with the pastry cream is the most delectable and tasty treat I've experienced. The almond croissant was perfection. Each and every pastry was the best example of its kind and the addition of cardamom to those we tried blew us away!!! Do not pass up the opportunity to try these pastries.

Firstly, there's a few 15 minute parking spots around Belleville. Secondly, the space is real cute but real small. I got the raisin au pain and it was fabulous. Their base dough is good but almost everything looked overcooked. Is that the intent? If so, maybe it's not my place but I am glad I tried it. A little on the pricey side for pastries but I'm not an East Ender so I also probably won't be back again soon.

Believe me, BLVL is simply one of the best patisseries ever. I had the pleasure to order and indulge in a box full of memorable treats. In this time of COVID, I took advantage of the online ordering option for pickup at opening. This ensured I would get to try everything my heart ever so desired. Croissant, Chocolate Croissant, Cardamom Bun, Pain au Raisin, Seeded Zucchini Bread and the famed PIZZA!! We lucked out as they just started pizzas again on our visit. Bless. Everything was divinely memorable. So much so as we have a friend currently in Maine as I type this and I am honestly considering asking him if I were to place an order for pick up would he bring us treats back home to PA with him. Everything was that good. Wrapping up this review with the need to give a HUGE shout out for truly wonderful service from the ever so sweet Bea. I will say that their pre-order pickup situation sucks as you still need to wait it the super long line to pickup your preordered-waiting-and-ready-for-you-items (which is totally ridiculous, I really hope they change that). I called while I was in the long line waiting for my preordered-waiting-and-ready-for-you-items and a sweet voice picked up the phone, calmly listened to my concern, verified my order was there and ready, told me she would be able to run it out to me and to meet her across the street. INCREDIBLE service and hospitality by an employee who was empowered to go above and beyond during what was probably their typical weekend morning hustle and bustle. BLVL, you are lucky to have an employee like Bea. Bea, thank you for the memorable service, truly appreciate your kindness.

Once you try a croissant from Belleville, you'll never be able to look at those soggy atrocities from Starbucks (let alone those even sadder looking ones in plastic bags at the gas station) ever again! They're known to sell out on busy days, so it's best to go early in the morning if possible - you have some more leeway on weekdays. The corner bakery is filled with natural light and the decor is simple to keep all eyes on their incredible pastry case filled with baked delights. There were many varieties to choose from including pastries with chocolate, ham and cheese, or fruit-filled. I decided that I needed to go with the classic croissant, however, and I wasn't disappointed. It's huge, flaky, buttery, and slightly more crispy on the outside than I was expecting - but it was a thing of beauty! The only croissant I've had that beats it for me was at Arsicault bakery in San Francisco... But Belleville was a very close second. It was perfect with my self-serve drip coffee, and made even better by the smile and friendly helpfulness of the guy behind the counter. I can't wait to come back for their pizza as well!

Best almond croissant I've had! ChocoTe croissant was good but needed chocolate throughout it a little better. The pizza was excellent! Highly recommend

Picked up a cappuccino and 2 pastries - pain du chocolate and cinnamon bun. Both were so fresh and delicate! I wanted to revisit before I left Portland but it didn't open early enough.

Honestly, the pear almond Danish I got here was one of the best pastries I've ever eaten. Extremely crispy and flaky and rich, with a nice pastry cream in the middle. I got pizza, too (two for one Tuesdays!) which was also great.

We were up in Acadia staying at an amazing Bed and Breakfast and we let the owners know we were driving down to the Portland the next day. Looking for recommendations they provided a couple of restaurants but hands down said we MUST go to Belleville (it was also just a block away from the apartment we were staying at ) With only weekend hours (Friday - Sunday) we had to wait all week to check out the bakery but luckily fit it in on Friday morning ahead of our drive home. It was worth the wait. We pre ordered about 6 different items and couldn't resist adding the plum, raspberry, hazelnut cake to the order while I was picking up the order. That might have been the best decision I made all day, it was the perfect consistency and so delicious. All of the pastries were very good but the kougin-amann was my favorite. It had amazingly flaky pasty but a sweetness to it that you don't get in their regular croissants. The cardamom bun is worth a try as well as the almond croissant. Find some friends to get a big box of pastries with so you can taste a bunch of things. I think my least favorite was the ham and cheese croissant, it was a little light in the filling but still incredibly flaky and delicious if you're more into savory items. Highly recommend going on your next visit to Portland. If you can, bring your pastries and coffee down to Eastern Promenade for a nice morning breakfast overlooking the water.

This is an amazing bakery. They do their croissants in the true French style so they are very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If they have the egg croissant, do not pass it up!

I was able to get here opening day and am sad I haven't had time to go back since. Friendly staff. Delicious pastries and bread. (I got a few plus a loaf of bread.) Reasonable prices. They also serve pizza and other goodies which I hope to enjoy in the coming weeks as our weather gets better.

The egg in the croissant was a godsend! Pastry was cooked perfectly and it was so hard to choose just one pastry. The staff was SO helpful and friendly. The owner asked me how I enjoyed my pastry. It's also a gorgeous sun filled location. Cons are that the seating is limited but if you get there when it's empty, you're golden. They also have Tandem Coffee! Check this spot out, it's a gem.

I finally managed to get here during their rare open hours, and it was beyond worth the effort. I got a kouign amann, a plain croissant, and a morning bun, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I devoured all three in the car on the way home. Almost before I pulled out of my parking spot around the corner. Perhaps the kouign amann was my favorite, but they were all so high on the delectability scale that it ceased to matter. The flavor, the texture, the flakiness, the butteriness...OMG. If I ever manage to get there when they are open again I plan to try the cardamom bun, because I adore cardamom and it sounds unreal.

Having experienced wonderful food in Europe, including France and Italy, I knew how a perfect croissant would look and taste like. This place is a real deal! Everything I've tried so far has been fantastic, authentic and super delicious. I would highly recommend this place
