Christophe Rull Patisserie

First thing you notice is the warm welcome in - “Bonjour”. So lovely. The Patisserie is open and light and spotlessly clean. I love the French bistro chairs, took me right back to the cafes on the streets of Paris. All staff are attentive and ready to serve you with a smile. We even had the honor of speaking with Chef Rull, who is personable and friendly, and so open to sharing all that the Patisserie is about. He is genuinely happy to have you visit and committed to the best of everything for his Patisserie. It is a joy to witness such passion being executed in such a delicious way! The BEST almond croissant I have ever had! (And I have been to Paris). Really amazing - get over there and try one. Light, flakey, sweet (but not overly), fresh crisp almonds, perfect filling - oh my gosh heavenly! My latte was also perfection. Deep dark roast, rich complex coffee flavors balanced with the milk, perfectly executed. If you are missing European coffee this is where you want to be. So many pastry and food choices (see menu pic). They also offer daily specials. I’m positive it is all good, but we tried the croissants only today. Absolutely delicious. The Chef and staff warmly welcome you in the door and are attentive and ready to answer questions. Fast efficient service with smiles and genuine concern that you have what you need to enjoy your experience with them. I love that our coffee and pastries were beautifully presented (see pics) and brought to us at our table. It was a lovely touch and made us feel welcome and special. San Marcos is fortunate to have this exceptional patisserie in its new North City location.

I drove to San Marcos to try this bakery. I saw this on Instagram. I got a box to go. Christoph packed it himself. Tried the butter crossiants, which I made sandwiches. So light, flakey and delicious. Best I tried in San Diego County. Also got a blueberry muffin and banana muffin. Just perfect. Definitely will be back. The display was very inviting. I wanted to try it all.

Fabulous food…very thoughtfully prepared sandwiches. Rich but just the right size so you’re not overwhelmed. Best, most delectable macarons since Paris. Wising them much success. There seems to be a steady stream of people entering their doors.

Quaint atmosphere, the pastries we ordered tasted great, and reasonably priced. My only reason for four stars is the size of the pastries are smaller than I expected. In my picture the cinnamon roll is smaller than the muffin. And the sandwich croissant are on square smaller croissants. Again, great tasting food and pleasant service so I'll go again.

I came opening week and was so sad they weren’t doing eclairs, came back again 11/21, and the eclair was delicious and beautiful! I wish they had a white mocha, because the caramel latte was good but I prefer white chocolate over caramel, but id highly recommend!

Happy to be in the neighborhood, visiting from the north Mendocino coast. Everything was tasty from the first bite. Chef Christophe Rull Patisserie was excellent. Looking forward to visiting next time we are in San Marcos.

So good but Google Maps brought me to the wrong spot. I'm glad I kept working to find it! Maps brought me to Union Cowork. If this happens to you, if you're standing looking at union cowork from the sidewalk you need to turn right and walk along the building until you get to the corner (towards the traffic circle). Then round the corner (left), and once you're around the corner you will see it! The pastries are worth it ❤️ they import their flour from France, so although I struggle with American flour/ gluten, I ate their pastries without issue

I’m a major foodie. I’ve traveled all over Europe focusing on these types of treats! I was really looking forward to this, as we desperately need a good patisserie in North County. It was only ok for me. Baked goods (croissants and brioche) were very small, though priced ok, for their size. This was after their first week opened, so I’ll give it another shot in the future, but I have a feeling I’ll be sticking to the other spots downtown or in bird rock. Croissant was ok, better as it was a fresh and warm. Tried one the next day and it wasn’t up to par. The brioche bites were just ok. Lacked real flavor.

I had quite literally the best macaron of my life today -- the Strawberry Rose Champagne flavor. I'm still thinking about it! The patisserie is perfectly located, super clean, and absolutely adorable inside. You can feel the passion the moment you walk in. Chef Christophe Rull is a world-renowned pastry artist (you've probably seen him on multiple baking TV shows!), and we are unbelievably lucky to have his shop right here in San Marcos. His creations are next-level -- true edible art. Do yourself a favor and grab a croissant and a macaron... or two. And yes, he even makes authentic French crêpes and delicious coffee. Uhhhmazing! This place is a gem.

My wife and I tried this place on the off chance that we would find something decent. Much to my surprise, this had some of the best croissants and baguettes I've ever had, and I've been to Paris not too long ago. The owner was very friendly and the environment was, surprisingly, warm in the middle of a busy college intersection. We've found our new favorite bakery, and I intend to frequent this establishment as often as my wallet allows.

Omg amazing French baguettes, the best I have tried lately!!! Those points are on point! The capuccino is made perfectly. I was running some errands and wanted a coffee and checked Yelp to find me places in San Marcos new downtown. This one popped up and then I stayed for a fresh sandwich of mini baguette with prosciutto and brie plus my coffee. Soooo delicious! Quickly I was greeted by the owner, super friendly maitre patissier from Marseilles in France. Very friendly, pleasant and approachable as well as his wife who work as a team, she in the business aspects. I had the pleasure to see the kitchen and these beautiful baguettes in the making. The pastries look super delicious but will try another time. This is a great addendum to this new area in San Marcos. I love the bistro parisien look, only thing missing is the little flowers in each table and also suggested that would be great if they showcase flower bouquets (we need baguettes and bouquets:). Good luck oh this new adventure!

Discovered this National Chocolate Day Pop-Up while browsing San Diego events and what better way to celebrate it than to experience the Food for the Gods creations by Michelin-trained chocolatier Annaluna Karkar at Christophe Rull's month and a half old patisserie in San Marcos. Within minutes of opening, a crowd has already gathered inside this small specialty bakery. Straight to the samples table I went while the line was short and listened in as each one of these dark delights were explained to the tasters in detail by the master chocolatier herself. Out of the 11 selections she have on display, I picked the Owl shaped Passion Coconut with 70% chocolate and a stick of Lemon Crush in White Chocolate that made me close my eyes to be present in that moment and heighten my sense of taste. My Oh My! Next, I ordered an Americano and two of the most popular pastries -- Pecan Roll and the Almond Croissant. Everything looked delectable, by the way so rest assured you won't be disappointed with any of the choices on display! Having suffered and recovered from skin conditions caused by US wheat products, I am very particular and picky where I buy and what baked goods I buy. I promised myself that one day, I will enjoy a freshly baked buttery and flaky pastry while sitting on a sidewalk cafe in Paris. Well, today is the closest I got to experience that fantasy! Even better since a renowned French Pastry chef makes his patisseries with imported Normandy butter and unbleached French flour to give his creations the most authentic flavors and feel! After I finished my 'breakfast', I talked to Annaluna again, learned about where she sources her cacao - I have been a self-proclaimed 'cacao connoisseur' ever since my first cacao ceremony in 2022 and have replaced my morning coffee with a dark and bitter cup of this South American indigenous concoction. The last sample I tried was the Walnut Cinnamon Baklava which I also loved. She shared that her father used to make Baklavas for her when she was a young girl. Christophe gladly answered some questions for my IG story and his wife Wilma approached me while I was enjoying my croissant. We had a longer chat which gave me an inside scoop of their endearing story. This growing mixed use neighborhood of North City is lucky to have Christophe Rull Patisserie and I won't be surprised is they receive a Michelin Star in the near future!

The staff is very friendly and quick to greet once you walk in, the pastry chef was also present and very welcoming. It is a bit quiet and not too crowded about 2 hours before closing but still had great options to choose from. We went on my husband's birthday since he is such a pastry fanatic and they graciously gifted him an extra pastry! We tried so many i lost count but the quiche was insanely good, the sweet pastries were perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Definitely found a new go to spot in my book cant wait to see what they have next visit!

Last Oct 7th, I wanted to check out the hype and I'll have go and check it out again. I had the Almond Croissant which for me, it was smaller than the other places I've been to. Tasted good though. They didn't have Mocha coffee so I will need to try their other coffee options. It was nice to see the owner helping out. A suggestion to maybe have another microwave to warm-up the items. Having only one slows down the line especially during the morning rush.

We paid a visit right after opening weekend. It is a lovely little shop with 3 indoor and 3 outdoor bistro tables. The husband had the cinnamon roll and I had to have a chocolate croissant of course. It was the best I have had since Paris. Christophe is from Marseille France and taking a chance here in San Marcos. We had a chance to chat with him and he gave our fur ball some love. An expert in chocolate... I will follow! # WelcometoSanMarcos # ChrisopheRull #Patisserie #Netflix

Been waiting for this place to open for so long. Finally had the chance to visit. Came early to try and avoid the line but people were already waiting for doors to open. Spacious inside with a few bistro tables. After waiting several minutes on queue I placed an order for chocolate and almond croissants, their baguette and a latte. Almond croissant was flaky and not overly stuffed. It was perfect. I'm guessing the chocolate croissant was just as good since my son devoured it. We had the baguette at home and my kids enjoyed it. Crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. Only hiccup I had was their organization of ordering. Knowing they just opened I know they're working out the kinks. Multiple people behind the counter and some seemed frazzled with getting orders out. Multiple people off the queue came back on line cutting me and others with just one register. I don't mind waiting for my food items but having a better system may seem more orderly. Despite this hiccup it's easy to overlook since they just opened. I'll be back to try their other baked goods and macaroons.

F O R G E T . P A R I S So... I'm not sure how it happened, but my dog thinks he's French. Not just any French-- "Parisian" French. We didn't teach him this. He just... decided?. He's walking around the house, "Bonjour, peasants." I'm like, "Dude, you were born in Escondido. You can't just wake up one day suddenly bougie". And the weird thing is he no longer barks-- he scoffs. With an accent! It's no longer "Aroooooo..." It's now more snooty... like "le woof woof"! We take him to the dog park. He's walking around with a tiny scarf and a pompous side-eye look on his face. He stands by the fence with his dumb beret and pencil mustache... and is all, "These de-scusting provincials... eating ze Cheez Whiz flavored treats from ze Costco." One day we walk past the new Christophe Rull Pâtisserie. The dog freezes in his tracks. He's about the destination and normally doesn't stop for anything. Not squirrels, not cats, not sweaty Americans. But suddenly he puts out his cigarette and sits down to stare through the window like it's his long-lost home. So we go in to investigate. He channels his inner Jean-Paul Sartre: "Ah yes, ze almond croissant... ze pistachio brioche... ze lemon meringue éclair... c'est magnifique." The Chef's wife Wilma thinks we've imported him. "Oh my gosh, is he French?!" And I'm like, "No, he's just... high-brow." Meanwhile, I'm ordering a coffee like a Tennessee tourist... and the dog is demanding enough macarons for a Versailles picnic. I end up buying him a buttery cinnamon roll. He takes one bite and chef-kisses, "Oui.... a certain je ne sais quoi. Don't try to insult me again with zat 'Milk Bones' I buried last week." Now he won't eat anything unless I pretend it's French. I'm in the kitchen preparing his "recette avec boeuf". He tilts his head contemplating,"Merci, s'il vous plaît... perfect with a Bordeaux, no?" "And a Perrier, no ice." Vive la France. Pro tip: Michelin-trained and Food Network pastry chef Christophe Rull has opened his first bakery. He said he hadn't slept much in 10 days to create his fresh-baked pastries, luxury desserts, and signature breakfasts. Far from Paris but as close as you'll get to an authentic Parisian Pâtisserie, we loved it. And your dog will too if he's anywhere near as pretentious as ours.

Finally a great patisserie within couple of miles across UCSM. Coffee paired with fresh bakery item..Great service ample parking Please add more sitting area.

I am so glad I found this place through Yelp! We don't have many sweet/pastry shops in North County and this one is definitely a must try! Their bread is so delicious. You can taste the quality in the chocolate used for the chocolate croissant. My favorite was the pecan bun. It brought me back to my childhood when my grandmother used to bake pecan buns for us. I've tried replicating her recipe multiple times but haven't been able to do so but the one I bought at this bakery tasted just like my grandmother's!! Would recommend folks definitely give it a try!! It's a great place to visit for a nice friend meet up!

Pastries: I visited at 2 pm, so limited Pastries. I wanted a chocolate croissant but the were out of them. I ordered the small cinnamon roll, a mango coconut pastry and a cinnamon pastry. They are small sizes, compared to other bakeries, but loved the smaller sizes, perfect to try a couple but I ate all 3 because they were delicious I normally get a stomach ache eating baked sweets, especially eating 3 of them but no stomach ache, just a full stomach of deliciousness. I was hoping they had different breads i could buy, like sourdough, wheat, etc., Service: Not great. I walked in & waited while the two employees were making coffee or getting another order. When someone else came in, one of them acknowledged them with a bonjour. Should be consistent with all customers. When they were finished with the order they were working on, they did help out, a little friendliness or warmth would add some charm. It could be that it's new so just getting into the groove of things. Ambiance: Clean and sleek. Noteworthy: Lots of construction going, but dont let it deter you from trying this new place. I found it from an article I read online and was excited to try it.

I ordered a jambon sandwich it was cold, bread was soft and I couldn't taste the ham, only one slice in this thick bread.

Absolutely delicious!! Ham & cheese is a must have there! Muffins , croissants everything is so delicious, My kids rarely finish anything, and they didn't leave a crumb! Staff are very friendly, welcoming I highly recommend it

I ordered the most expensive item to see what it's all about. Yeah... no. Taste was 8.5/10, but portion was not satisfying. I'm a petite under 5' woman and that thing is as small as my palm. I also got brioches and croissants, also very small. For the price, not worth it. The wait was also long. I thought they would just package them up as you point and order. U gotta order first then it takes 10-15' for them to give u your order. Last note but important to me, all of the employees wear gloves handling the food BUT the chef (the owner). I was like... *gasp* He's the one that restocks the pastries! He was chatting with some customers out front, came back inside, picked up some macarons with his barehands and gave them to customers. I personally would not eat those since he grabbed the door handles, touched his pants, and maybe shook people's hands. There was also a flies flying around going inside the pastry fridge

I wish they were more organized.... Service is ridiculously slow, thats why theres a long line. Theres an employee taking orders on a notepad and gives it to you to give to the cashier. Its pointless if customers reach the cashier and add or change their order. Also, i think the cashier doesn't have a lot of knowledge because she said my card wasn't accepted but she never finalized on her end. I think a much better method would be to make the menu available online through a QR code, also loose the notepad and do something like chick fila with the iPad and paying that way you move up the line with a finalized order and having paid in advanced. The ambiance is chaotic and rushed but i feel like its because of the disorder. I think more training is needed front of the house.

Always Delightful service, and the pastries are scrumptious. I adore their Pecan rolls.

Very good pastries. A nice little place. The baguettes were very tasty. The prices are a little high but so is the quality. I hope in the location enough people will give it a chance given the prices, but my suggestion is give it a try and spend a little more. Get a little more.

My first time visiting the Patisserie on a Tuesday around noon. Very nice space with indoor and outdoor tables. I asked the friendly female staff member if any of baguette sandwiches were vegetarian and she said unfortunately no. Shortly after this Christophe said he could make a sautéed herbed mushroom and cheese sandwich with bechamel heated in the oven if I would like. The sandwich was absolutely delicious on a melt in your mouth small baguette. The service was outstanding and loved chatting with Christophe during lunch who is incredibly friendly and kind. I sampled the flaky buttery croissant and passion mango macaron later at home and both were flavorful and excellent. Couldn't have asked for a better overall experience and can't wait to bring my wife and friends next time. Thanks Christophe

Heavenly Almond Croissant & More! Absolutely delicious! The almond croissant is hands down one of the best I've ever had -- perfectly flaky, buttery, and filled with rich almond cream. We also tried the chocolate croissant and the mushroom spinach quiche -- both were incredible! You can truly taste the quality and care in every item. This French bakery is such a great and much-needed addition to San Marcos. A must-visit for pastry lovers!

Saw this place hit my Instagram feed a few days ago. I happened to be in the San Marcos area one Saturday morning so I thought I'd swing by and pick up a few items. I get there at 9:05am and there was already a line out the door! While I waited the owner himself, Chrstophe, came out and greeted us with macaron samples. I'm not a macaron guy but I took a raspberry macaron...that sh!@#*t was delicious! I finally get inside and was greeted by one of the employees taking the orders - i got the Chocolate and Almond croissants, a cinnamon roll, pecan roll, and a blueberry muffin. After payment I got my order after a couple minutes. I got home and presented these treats to the family. Every piece was delicious -- croissants were flaky, buttery and had a nice flavor, the rolls and muffins had great flavors. I wish we had seconds! Looking forward to returning and trying these again as well as some of their other pastries!

Pastries for those who aren't looking for too much sugar, lightly sweetened to perfection. Have a variety of pastries, a great shop to have in San Marcos. Service was great even though it was very busy. Come early they sell out fast. Cute shop to sit hand enjoy a conversation.

Great location and atmosphere -- very clean and thoughtfully designed, which makes the space feel welcoming. Now, onto the food. The selection is very limited, and by 10 a.m. several items were already sold out (including both the regular and chocolate croissants). The ham and cheese croissant I did manage to get was tasty but very small, especially for the $12 price tag. Overall, the place feels overpriced. It was nice to try once, but I won't be going back.

I stopped by on Friday afternoon to try the croissants. Service was slow with only 2 people in line. I purchased 3 croissants, plain, almond, chocolate. The plain was light and buttery but tiny, The almond tasted nice, but did not have a croissant texture. The chocolate croissant had the best taste and texture, and the only one I would consider getting again, but IMO, they are all overpriced!

My wife and I come here every weekend! We've both been to Paris many times, so the bar has been set when comparing similar food. That said, Christophe makes the best croissants and quiche ever...I said what I said

Beautiful shop and even better pastries. Probably the best almond croissant I've ever had. The almonds were perfectly toasted and the croissant had the most lovely texture. I am usually not a fan of croissants because they can be too oily but this was perfectly balanced. The service is friendly and Christophe and his wife are genuinely happy to have you there. This will be our regular weekend spot going forward!

Had a wonderful brunch on Sunday. Started with the mushroom quiche. It was delicious including the crust. We also had some flavorful macarons and cookies for dessert. So nice to have this gem in North City. Looking forward to my next visit. Merci beaucoup Christophe Rull.

The pastries and sandwiches here are to die for! The consistency, quality, and taste are top notch and worth every penny. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything here. The croissants are flaky but still so soft and melt in your mouth. I will definitely be back and making this my go to spot for french pastries!

Coffee is really good here too. I got a latte and Almond croissant which was so delicious. The staff is so nice and friendly. Service was great.

Absolutely amazing French bakery. Had the chicken pesto sandwich and exotic chia pudding - both were fresh and 10/10.

I was here 3 weeks ago but I'm already planning another trip to San Marcos to try more pastries. I had the ham and cheese sandwich, banana nut muffin, chocolate croissant, brioche, and tomato pesto danish. They have the cutest packaging. Everything was delicious, especially the tomato pesto danish. The ham and cheese sandwich looks very simple and was pricy for the size but I recommend trying it, I couldn't help to do my happy dance as I was eating it. I met Christophe and Wilma who were very kind and I admire their enthusiasm and passion. I hope they will expand to a location closer to Northern California in the future.

So on the positive, the pastries look very good, and they offer three variations of my favorite French viennoiserie, brioche. Their to go bag looks good with a window side if you are bringing pastries to a friend for example. However the store organization is a mess: I specifically ordered just a bottle water and three brioches to go, instead of a coffee drink and a hot croissant, because I was in a rush and assumed that like in most pâtisseries, they would hand them to me right away. It took exactly 14 minutes to put three pastries in a bag to hand me!! The very nice cashier explained they fill orders as they come, regardless of contents - something to keep in mind if you just want a quick pickup. The brioche itself was ok - good texture, but one note, no citrus which is pretty common in the plain version, and a bit pasty - you can taste the flour. A better version can be found at the Carlsbad French Pastry Shop, though they tend to run out often. All in all a waste of time and $29.

Came on a Sunday morning. Steady flow of folks but not too crowded. My kids were overly excited for the macaroons. It did not disappoint. We also got the pistachio brioche and croissant. Croissant was nice a flake as it should be. I did not expect the pistachio to be piped with that much filling, which was a nice but messy surprise. Chia pudding was great too. We'll be back. Great addition to north city. One suggestion for the business would be to turn the music down a tad.

We I went on a Wednesday around 10am. I got served pretty quickly because not many people there. I tried the chocolate croissant, strawberry pastry, a plain brioche and a baguette. They all tasted good, I wouldn't say great probably because I have been to Paris and there they are great! The size was a bit small but things are pretty expensive these days. My favorite was the baguette. I will not go back because there was nothing outstanding to take me back and spend that amount of money. I wish them well.

It's quite good! The croissant is the best you'll find in North County for sure. And the ham and butter (jambon et beurre) baguette sandwich was delicious, too. My only "‍" was the cinnamon roll - it's very petite and made like a croissant pastry. Still tasty, but not what I expected. The cappuccinos are also solid. I have tried the pistachio brioche, a chocolate croissant and many of the macrons as well. I've been waiting for a decent, real bakery in San Marcos - this is IT.

sumptious almond croissant. A bit out of the way but been there twice. Second time I was there it was crowded and people were standing around with their purchases with no where to sit.

Great new bakery in town. Pastries were so good and worth the line. Chef was so pleasant, welcoming and appreciative. We had the croissants, quiche and pecan bun. Coffee was 5 starts too. Cant wait to come back and try more goodies.

Very yummy pastries! A great little stop in the heart of SMSU college square. It's a little hard to find with GPS, but worth the search.

Wonderful service and experience. Came in to try the baguette with butter dipped in cappuccino - delish a must try. Chocolate croissant was the best I've had in San Diego. Welcome to the neighborhood Chef! We are happy you are here.

Cute shop. Delicious pastries. 3 stars is for lack of planning on the 2nd weekend open and poor boxing. Hours are 9am to 5pm. They ran out of several things by 11:30am, including the most basic bakery item, croissants. We ordered two croissants, a loaf of their cinnamon roll bread, 4 macaroons, a pecan roll and one cookie. The roll was placed on its side, causing the topping to fall off. The macaroons were packed in a cute box, although a bigger box could have been used rather than one lonely cookie rolling around. We stood in line for nearly 20 minutes waiting to get in after driving over an hour. $50 and we are still hungry.

Been waiting for a place like this. I read they import their ingredients from France from the Tribune. That alone will make the taste authentic as most flour from US are enriched and causes pastry to taste different than in Europe.

We went in this afternoon for the first time. We tried some macarons, their croissants, fruit danish, sugar brioche, along with a house coffee. We are impressed at how good everything tasted. I'll never go back to eating a Costco croissant:) The house coffee was really good, too. We will come back, and hopefully we'll be able to try an eclair (they didn't have any due to staffing issues.) As a newly opened establishment, it appears they still have to work a few kinks out, and that's understandable and we are patient people. It's so nice to have some higher quality food places in San Marcos. We'll be back soon!

We've come in twice and each time buy a handful of things to try. So far everything has been really good. I like that the pastries aren't enormous. Tops so far: The macarons are perfect, the eclairs are tasty, and the ham and Gruyère cheese bfast sandwich was delish. But the almond croissant is my favorite thing so far! They also know how to make a really good latte! Edit: The almond croissant is the best thing I've tasted in my life! Yuuuum

What an amazing neighborhood bakery. Everyone was so friendly. My girls were being indecisive on what to order and the lady behind the cash register was so sweet and said no rush at all, take your time, we're here for you. Thankfully no one was waiting behind us. The shortbread cookies were flakey and heavenly. The muffins were full of flavor and baked perfectly. We didn't want to bug or interrupt Christophe but my girls were just staring at him and he came up and asked if they watched bake squad. He was beyond friendly and welcoming. He spent 10 minutes talking to us, sharing special stories of the bakery and telling my girls what all the other contestants on Bake Squad are up to these days - just so nice and not rushed at all. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!!

We were so excited to try this new place and went three times--twice the store was closed although the hours online and on the door stated they'd be open. Third time we made it in but they were out of the item we went for (chocolate croissants) and most other things were sold out too. This was around 10 a.m. by the way, when they should have been pretty much fully stocked. We ended up choosing a couple items but the cashier would not give us a cup of water ("we don't have it") and we could only purchase Evian. The owner seems to not wear gloves and was shaking hands, then touching food. We will skip this place in the future.

Beautiful ambiance and tasty food - you can tell he's won a lot of awards! A good combo of sweet and savory dishes. Him and his wife are so sweet. I know they will do well! Definitely recommend!

The macarons are amazing. You cannot go here and not enjoy a couple. Crispy exterior soft chewy center with very intense flavors. A must have. Other pastries are equally full of flavor. If you are there early and lucky you may got one of the few beggetts the bake daily. The only downside is the lines on weekends and difficulty with reasonable parking, but there is nothing Christoph can do about it. What ever the issue, the pastries are worth the effort.

We enjoyed the mushroom/spinach quiche, chocolate croissant, hazelnut brioche and cappuccinos! Everything was to was to perfection, Christopher's mastery is evident in every bite!
