ID-eclair

ID-éclair is a slice of Paris right in the heart of Pasadena. The quality of the pastries here are exceptional. Every bite is flavorful, balanced, and made with love & intention. You can tell that only the best ingredients are used, and there’s a certain elegance in both the flavors and presentation that feels like a true celebration of French pastry craft! The space is super clean, modern, and welcoming with French charm with seating inside & outside. What makes it even more special is the story behind it. The chef, who came from France, has a beautiful message boards posted outside about his journey to Pasadena and his dream of creating something special here. That heart and passion is reflected in every detail of the bakery. The service is also fantastic: friendly, helpful, and always happy to guide you if you’re not sure what to try first. Emily & Alfredo are my absolute favs and they can brighten anyone’s day! This is definitely a must-visit spot in Old Town. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to treat yourself to something here!

I went to this cafe because many vegan friends recommended it. The croissants and chocolate croissants were really delicious. I also recommend the lightly sweetened animal cookies.Very cute! The cafe and bathrooms are very clean. There are pet-friendly tables in front of the cafe. Street parking is also very convenient if you use the app. It takes more than an hour to drive from my house to this cafe , but it's well worth it.

Review #2: 5 stars Everything was so amazing the first time we couldn’t wait more than 2 days to come back again! We tried the bell pepper soup and more pastries and we were blown away with how good it was again! Review #1: 5 stars Everything was amazing and vegan friendly! We could hardly decide what to try so we had macarons, cherry cookies, focaccia, Dubai chocolate and more - it was hard to pick a favorite but the jalapeño pastry

ID-eclair in Old Town Pasadena is my new favorite bakery. Chef Romy makes the perfect croissants—buttery, flaky, soft and delicious. I also recommend the raspberry and banana macarons, blueberry danish and cinnamon twist. The pastries are edible works of art, the coffee is great and the service is efficient and friendly.

This bakery is dangerous because whenever I go, I spend so much money. They ask me what I want and I have to force myself to stop picking out more things because everything looks and tastes so good. I highly recommend going so long as you have the willpower to stop yourself before you empty your wallet.

Wonder Vegan French Pastries! They have a nice tea three platter special which is perfection! the eclairs are electric! Also order a few baguettes 🥖 the normal and grain both tastes create. the vegan butter also is yummy. Nice atmosphere and the waiters are super nice. A good variety of french pastries as well as hearty foods. also order a sandwich was delish! 🥰 for vegan milk, in coffee, they had coconut, soy, or almond. Totally recommend for 100% VEGAN

One of my new favorite spots in town! I drove for an hour because this is the first place that serves vegan eclairs! Their food is delicious as well (I had tomato soup) and coffee is pretty good too. Not to mention great friendly service that I experienced: despite the location being busy their staff members took their time to help me make a choice, recommended their favorite soup and cleaned the table for me. Everyone did fantastic job making this place warm, welcoming and delicious. Keep it up team! Be back soon to try more sweets 😍

Americanized, mediocre pastries—everything seems way too sweet to suit local tastes. Not my type, I’d recommend for Artisanal Goods by CAR. What I ordered: chef’s special eclair (mango and coconut), almond croissant 🥐. The service and atmosphere are excellent though.

I tried a few pastries as well as a tea to go . My favorite was the raspberry croissant .This shop was near my hair salon. The staff were very nice and helpful. Nice vegan gem !

*whistles through teeth* Wow. Croissants, eclairs, focaccia, macarons, baguettes, financiers, danishes, and several other things I can't even pronounce. And all of it plant-based? Get the eff out of here. I walked into ID-Eclair maybe three or four weeks back. There was no mention of "vegan" on the menu or in the case, so I asked. "Any of this vegan?" The guy looks at me, shrugs, and says, "All of it." And that, is how my new obsession began. Their approach is they don't need to boast about how vegan everything is. Honestly, you can't tell. Everything is exquisite, enjoy it, don't get tripped up on labels. If you snag a box of these goodies and head into the office, not one person will say anything other than, "Holy shit, can I have another one?" This place is four blocks from my kid's school, and directly on my route home, so now, I've got a mild pastry problem that I need to keep in check. Are four visits in one week too much? I'm going to tell myself it's not. I started working through the croissants, both sweet options and savory, before moving to the fruit tarts and macarons. The danishes are fantastic, again both sweet and savory, with the leek and olive oil coming in first place for me. My wife digs the tomato danish, and the blueberry is also up there if I want to lean towards sweet. I've tried the palmiers, cinnamon twists, and anything else I can get my hands on. The variety changes, often with "du jour" items that rotate. There are probably half a dozen choices of croissants alone. Chocolate and almond, jalapeño and cheese, raspberry, "ham" and cheese, it's everything a croissant lover could dream of. After plowing through the baked goods, I moved on to the sandwiches, salads, and soups. Fresh, tasty, and satisfying. I think my wife and I got the daily sandwich every lunch for three or four days straight. They use high-end vegan cheeses that pair awesomely with freshly baked bread. The richness of the cheese is pulled back by the arugula and heirloom tomato. Sublime. It's a lovely spot. Small tables with comfy chairs and many windows providing incredible natural light create a great place to relax and enjoy your bites. The staff are beyond friendly and knowledgeable about their craft (shout out to Emily). It's just a great place to hang out and live a little. Even when I'm in a rush, their '$5 plain croissant and a coffee' deal pulls me in whether I like it or not. A fourth-generation French baker runs the place, and I promise he knows precisely what he's doing. It's beyond good. It's great. And one hell of an addition to the neighborhood.

I want to start this review by saying that I really wanted to love this bakery but I was honestly let down. The baked goods in the window looked beautiful and is what drew me in. I ordered several items: Focaccia, Vanilla Eclair, Paris Brest, Butter Croissants and a Baguette. I happen to snag the last focaccia which was a bit dry around the edges but very flavorful, fluffy and moist once I took a few more bites towards the middle. The vanilla eclair was delicious and had great vanilla flavor but the Paris Brest was a bit of a let down. I liked the creme mousselline but the choux was soggy and did not include any almond (at least none that I could taste) which I had enjoyed in the Paris Brest I had in the past. Maybe the almond is optional. I don't claim to be an expert but this is just what I recall from my past experiences. The baguette was great. It is everything you want in a beautiful baguette. It was crusty, soft inside, tasted and smelled delicious. The 2 of the 4 butter croissants I bought were obviously over baked. I feel like if you charge $4.50/croissant the quality should be higher. The service was ok.

I came out here to try the cafe down the street, but had noticed this place and decided to come here instead, it looked brand new so I found the first parking spot that was 15 mins. Jackson greeted me and helped me with my order of fresh squeezed oj, fleur de geisha tea (matcha), the beet salad and couple pastries for take out, as I was on a 15 min spot., then he had mentioned that Chef owned both places and works at both places too. It was pleasure meeting the Chef!! I had to park at a better spot to dine next door at La Cave, it was so worth it!! I enjoyed the company of the friendly staffs stopping by to see how I liked my food. Thanks Chef for making delicious pastries!! Thanks to all the staff (Jackson and Alfredo and Emily) at ID-Eclair for exceptional service!!

Delicious pastries. Everything is vegan. They have some gluten free options The staff is very friendly. The place is absolutely beautiful. Go get your French breakfast

ID- Eclair was pleasantly delightful!!:) Pasadena is a beautiful city... and I can't wait to return. The food is amazing. Everything is vegan . I was hoping for more gluten free options. I definitely can't wait to see their progress regarding their gluten-free options. Hopefully, some eclairs!!! They have amazing customer service . They were attentive to every customer. You can feel and see the love and dedication they have for their patisserie... Worth every penny.....

A new, completely VEGAN French bakery in Old Town Pasadena on the NE corner of Pasadena Ave and Green Street. I love this bakery! It is clean and nicely decorated with a good amount of seating. I didn't see any outlets, so might not be a spot to hunker down with your laptop. There is an amazing offering of viennoiserie from plain croissants to eclairs to macarons to tarts. They have savory and sweet options. I have tried a lot of different items during my three visits thus far. Everything is fresh, delectable, and satisfying. I had a raspberry croissant the other day and I cannot stop talking about it - flakey layers of croissant interlaced with a fluffy raspberry cream bursting with flavor! They also serve caffeinated and decaf espresso drinks. There is a refrigerated section where they offer decadent desserts in a jar too! The staff greet you with "bonjour" when you enter. They are upbeat, ready to answer questions or make suggestions, and very friendly. I'm super impressed with this bakery!

There's a new bakery in Old Town Pasadena. Nicely layout and display inside. I ordered a butter croissant and 3 macaroons. The croissant was good. The macaroons were light and delicate. DJ's rating: 4.35/5.00 Would I come back? Yes.

Wow. Such a great place. The pastries are so fresh and the strawberry eclair I ordered was absolutely amazing. Not a simple canned strawberry crème or basic filling. But a well made full of flavor strawberry delight. Even the fresh sliced strawberry on top of the eclair was paired with a rich chocolate "binder" (my term) I loved the flavor and I haven't mention these are all made in house. You can glimpse the kitchen and I saw the chef working his magic. You know service and staff is high on my list and they are all personable and friendly. Kudos. It does provide a low key Parisian atmosphere albeit in an American city. But this place is charming and Green street does lend itself to a cafe vibe. Of course I will be back and try as many of their choices

Are my girlfriend and I crazy enough to travel 2 hours through an active windstorm in search of a new vegan gem? Yes we are. Was it worth it? Absolutely. In the midst of all the closures plaguing the 2025 vegan restaurant scene, visiting ID-eclair sparked in me a newfound hope that an all-vegan business can thrive against all odds. There are a mere handful of all-vegan bakeries out there, and this one does everything right. Right as we stepped in, we were greeted with an enthusiastic "Bonjour" from Emily and Alfredo. The interior was stunning, with the pastries delicately and intentionally lined up behind pristinely clear glass. Emily and Alfredo were knowledgeable about the pastries and enthusiastically explained their offerings. Listening to them made us want to try everything. We felt so compelled that we spent over $50 on just the pastries alone. We topped it off with a hot chocolate and iced Americano. Macarons - I'd say these are the best vegan macarons around. I'm a big fan of Veron for their vegan macarons, but I'd say ID-eclair has a slight edge. I noticed that the fillings are very generous which was great for someone with a sweet tooth like me, but too overpowering for my girlfriend. Chocolate croissant - My girlfriend loved these because of how conservative they were with the sugar. I got the impression that they were focusing on the flakiness and quality of the pastry rather than the sweetness. She says that this is the closest to non-vegan croissants she's tasted. Would recommend if you don't like your pastries to be overly sweet. Hot chocolate & iced americano - pretty solid. As the owners mentioned in a response to a review on here, they have a state-of-the-art espresso machine. Can't go wrong with any of their drinks.

I don't know how excited I am that this French Vegan Pastry Shop opened. The pastry Chef, Chef Romy, who baked all the pastries is so talented. I get it that there are already vegan pastry bakers out there made croissants and macarons. But this one is a truly French Vegan Pastry Chef! What's exciting the most is the eclairs. We have been looking for vegan eclairs for 20-25 years since we became lacto vegetarians then vegans. There has been no one could make it as good as the non vegan eclairs until now. I have tried to make them at home too and failed miserably, several times. The pastry puffed up but the inside is not cooked. These eclairs are hollowed with no uncooked bits inside them. The filling was piped in through a hole made on the pastry. It is truly an eclair. There are variety of flavors and they are all delicious! The croissants, macarons, Mille Feuille or Napoleon, baguette, soup, etc. are so so delicious! The soup changes daily. The coffee and lattes were delicious also. It is getting so popular that often it is sold out or only a few items left near the end of closing time. My suggestion is to come early.

ID-Eclair continues to amaze me! Every delectable bite here is even better than the last! Now they even have mimosas on the weekends, who can resist? The service is always spectacular. Emily is always so helpful and friendly! Their wine bar will be opening soon with a full menu accompanying it and I cannot wait to be trying that soon!

Really friendly folks. Chef creates new cakes, eclairs and other delicious fare daily. We've also tried the Parmier. We typically have hot chocolate and coffee, both with oat milk. Been 4 times now, love it.

French bakeries appear regularly in L.A., but a Vegan French Bakery by French-trained pastry chef Romuald Guiot, formerly of Three-Michelin-starred La Maison de Marc Veyrat? That's pretty rare! Vegans (and those with dairy allergies) can now rejoice because ID-Eclair by chef Romuald Guiot is nothing short of AMAZING! Their classic plain croissant (get it when they release a new batch in the morning) tastes as good as a real, butter croissant, except it's vegan! Flaky, crispy, it's total fire and delish! They are known for their eclairs (it's in their name ID-Eclair). They have so many interesting flavors! And it rotates every week i think. The Millefeuille / Napolean, Paris Brest and their seasonal French Currant eclairs were totally fire and worth ordering! Great pastry shell that tastes like the real eclair shell (but with no dairy used), creamy filling. Their mushroom danish was totally a must order as well. It tasted flaky, cheesy, full of umami, but again, it was dairy-free. Amazing. Their radicchio salad with walnuts and vegan blue cheese (wut?!) tasted just like actual blue cheese! Totes crazy. And it was just a great salad even if you could eat dairy. Can't wait to go back!

I can't say enough good things about this place. I don't even live close and I go all the time. My daughter had their desserts for her birthday party. All the kids loved them and the kids ages ranged from 2-9. The adults also loved them. E everyone was silent while they ate. Everything is so good, I easily spent $80+ every time I go in. The stuff isn't even expensive. I just buy a lot. The chef also likes making new things and then I have to try them like the pear eclair in the picture which should be a regular item in my opinion. When I get married, these are the deserts I want. When I die, I want these served at my funeral. I'm so grateful I live 20-30 minutes away or I'd be so fat. Everyone who works there is super nice too and answers questions. This is the kind of restaurant that needs to exist and become a community cornerstone. I hope this place has the most incredible success.

Oh my god! Thanks to my good friend Rosette for introducing me to this amazing French (and vegan - although you would never know) bakery! Emily and Albert at the counter were super friendly and helpful and Chef Romy too! Had the chocolate croissant (ohhh sooo good) and green tea (very nice). Of course, as I love French baguettes, got one to go. And a fruit tart. And dinosaur cookies (c'mon, who can refuse cute dinosaur cookies!?!). They are opening up a wine bar as part of the bakery so looking forward to going. Good addition to Pasadena and Old Town!

This food is clearly made of love. I am not a pastry expert but to me these taste exceptional. I'm not vegan but did not miss the dairy. Emily helped us and was very kind to me and my son.

The first all vegan French pastry cafe has opened in Pasadena and we had to drop by the morning they opened. Literally set an alarm! Everything we tried was DANKY: Chocolate Croissant, Fruit Tart, Mille Feuille / Napoleon and Shortbread cookies! A little piece of France can be found on a corner of Old Town Pasadena so if you are coming out for the Rose Parade this year make sure to grab some pastries to watch the floats. They open early! Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer

Such an elevated experience! I drive here accross town on my day off at least once a week because this place is my happy place: the French pastries are the real thing, the teas are flavorful and sophisticated and now there is a wine bar in the space with an amazing wine and vegan snack menu. I can't think of anything else that would need to be added to make this my 2nd home. Ok maybe throw in a couple of cats and I'd never leave.

I'm not vegan. But I've kept coming back to this new all vegan bakery because it's so good. They really know what they're doing, and if you didn't know, you'd think you were eating normal pastries using animal based ingredients. The owner definitely knows his pastry game, every single thing I've had here is full of finesse and expertly balanced flavors and textures. The flaky crunch of croissants, to the creamy filling in the eclairs, not overly sweet but just the right amount. Coffee drinks are not just an afterthought either. Located at the farthest west end of old town Pasadena on green street, the quiet end!

My latte was good! But the price for the size was a bit steep. However, the cinnamon twist was AMAZING! The staff was friendly. First time there. I might return for a twist.

I've been to ID-Eclair several times and I keep forgetting to take photos of the items I get because they're so good. I can't wait to take a bite! I've had eclairs, tarts, cookies, macarons, beet bread, and their fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything is perfection. It's perfectly sweetened and the texture is just right. I love everything about this place. I can't recommend it enough.

One of the best croissants I've ever had. Just fantastic. I wish I could eat one every day. Lovely staff and even lovelier macaroons! I'm on a mission to try every single item they have because so far everything has been crazy delicious. Did I mention they're plant based? No Lactaid today for this lactose intolerant Japanese boy! ALSO-they have a wine bar that should be opening soon so I'll probably just be moving in permanently.

This Bakery/Wine Bar is amazing! It is 100% vegan friendly! Chef Romy who is from France and his beautiful wife are so talented and kind! I went there for the first time to take a French Macaron class with three friends. What a blast we had! It was a three hour class and I can honestly say I know how to make them! It was totally hands on! And we each went home with a box of our finished macarons! They are just getting started so there's more classes to come! I highly recommend doing one of them! The decor is stunning! So tastefully done! The pastries are off the chart beautiful and delicious! There's also a shop area that you can buy cheese, crackers, cookies and of course macarons and other goodies for a fabulous picnic. The bakery also makes all kinds of coffee and tea drinks! The wine bar has small bite plates that sound delicious! There's also a private tasting room in the wine bar that is out of this world gorgeous! Can you talk fabulous date night with your significant other to be wined and dined in this amazing room! What a treat! Make sure you check out this special place, you will not be sorry!

We have been serving hot dinners at our church in East Pasadena to folks who have lost homes and/or can't drink or cook with the water due to contamination from the wildfires. The first night we served dinner ID-eclair dropped by 3 huge boxes of their delicious vegan pastries -- both savory and sweet. We distributed them to the exhausted people coming to pick up their dinners. They were so surprised to receive such a delicious treat! They have done this three times this past week. Give them some love! They deserve it!!!

Authentic French pastries, delicious eclairs and croissants . Special French tea and unique salads and a few sandwiches. Parking on the street and staff super friendly and helpful.

My sisters and I had the pleasure of visiting ID-Eclair in Pasadena on Sunday, December 29th from Chino Hills and Temecula and it was a wonderful experience! The café is so charming as it offers an authentic taste of Paris in the heart of Pasadena. We indulged in the Paris Brest- light and flavorful. The Fruit Tart was a visual masterpiece, with fresh fruit and a delicate crust. We also enjoyed the Baba au Rhum- a moist and rich rum cake. Jackson, one of the kind staff persons, recommended tea so we ordered the refreshing Tropical Tea, which complemented our choices perfectly! My sister purchased some of their pre-packaged cookies for her sons at home. The ambiance of ID-Eclair is both cozy and elegant. The staff was welcoming as Chef Romy came out to greet us and Phoebe, his wife, sat with us for a few minutes with great conversation and kindly excused herself to greet others- sooo warm and welcoming! with fresh pastries and a warm atmosphere, ID-Eclair is a must-visit in Pasadena. Once I dive into my photos, I'll add what I captured

Let's just say... veganly delicious! The case was filled with many scrumptious looking artwork. Didn't want to go overboard with my purchase because I've had vegan desserts that just taste like cardboard. So narrowed it down to two of the eclairs, the pistachio and a classic chocolate eclair. Both were YUM but my favorite was the chocolate. Definitely stopping again soon!

The most amazing plant based patisserie made with the freshest ingredients. Impossible to tell the difference between plant-based and dairy a must try. With an open kitchen so that one can see the chef prepare items.

I'm not vegan but I see many merits to the lifestyle and diet. Saw this bakery opened recently and definitely wanted to support and champion their purpose of making vegan goods tasty and accessible without compromise. Vegan pastries don't have to taste any different than other pastries, in fact they can even taste better. I think what surprised me most was that the wide selection of pastries were all made in-house.

Delicious croissants! I also appreciate the fact that the staff patiently answered all my questions. Besides it being super tasty, I appreciate that it's vegan. I usually don't have a lot of options with a plant based diet but here everything is an option! So, I had to take some home for my family too! Parking out front is free until 11am on Friday. I am not sure about other days.

Ordered a savory leek tart. Delicious! I am not vegan and assumed (in part because of confusing word choices) that my tart must be made with butter. Wrong! Never had such delicate flaky vegan treats before. Convert. Very nice staff too. Wine bar is lovely as well. Small, well selected list and vegan bar snacks. Cannot wait to return

LOVE this place. I came here because we have no electricity due to the Eaton fire. I was warmly welcomed and ordered one pastry and coffee. My goodness, it was perfect. Ordered another. Settled in for a bit to catch up on work and the world. Forever grateful to the kindness of the staff. And everything I tried was beyond delicious. So many options. I highly recommend coming by and taking a break.

This is my second time at this bakery and I'm obsessed. The pastries are delicious. Not pictured but I also had a Butter Croissant and let me tell you it was one of the best croissants I've ever had. So far everything has been perfection. Can't wait to go back again. Service was great. Everyone is super friendly and helpful.

I have emerged from Yelp hiatus to specifically praise ID-eclair. Holy molar. Heaven on earth. I bought one of everything in the front case today except a raspberry financier which I regret as I nibble throughout the day. The eclairs and tarts are delicious, beautifully structured, not too sweet. The dairy-free custard fillings are not that weird, skunky, slimy attempt- if you are a long time vegan, you know. Espresso and hazelnut are solid favorites. That tart dough, zomg. Croissant/flaky things are not my go-to but the texture is perfect. The cheezy goodness in the tomato danish, yum. Can't wait to return to try all of the special and rotating creations. Very reasonable pricing. Flavorful French roast drip coffee. Gorgeous, clean space. Friendly, personable staff. Storefront parking is free (6am store opening!) until 11am Sundays, 2 hour limit.

I'm glad i was able to make the soft opening, been waiting for this place to open. The croissant sold out so fast so I will have to go back to get one. Friendly service good atmosphere I like the parking on the street also

Everything is fantastic! We ordered the avocado toast, the beet salad and the cauliflower soup. My grandson had the French breakfast and I've never seen him enjoy his food like he enjoyed the baguette, butter and jam. We are still here and plan to order lattes and a pastry before leaving but my husband and I were just saying we would order everything we had all over again! Serving size is nice also!

Wonderful chef ,making delicious pastries and yummy food. The place is inviting the coffee delicious. Try the chocolate croissant.

First things first, stepping in was a very welcoming surprise! I was greeted and guided through what was being offered - lots of pastries and drinks! Alfredo was one of the best employees there, he was very kind to take time to show me all of the different teas they offered as well as going into depth of each flavor profile! I chose many different pastries and drinks, I had a tea as well but it's just not in the pictures! I definitely recommend anyone coming here for the vibes, the French cuisine, and some of the best service! All of this from a all plant based/vegan bakery which I love! I can't wait to go and visit again!

Fresh and delicious pastries!!! Friendly staff! Went above and beyond to explore the pastry items I was interested in. Everything is all VEGAN!!! I tried a napoleon with romys hot chocolate, absolutely amazing. The chocolate was so smooth and not over powering.

Very good for vegan pastry. Tried the almond croissant and coffee. Nice interior design. Nice helpful staff. Recommend.

This coffee shop has great ambience. unfortunately, my experience was rather disappointing. As a coffee enthusiast, I was looking forward to trying their cappuccino, but I was let down when I noticed that they lack a proper cappuccino machine. Instead, they have an automated machine where you push a button to select your drink. The result was far from the authentic cappuccino experience I expected. The disappointment didn't end there. The croissants, which I assumed would be fresh and warm, were served cold and lacked the flakiness you would anticipate. Overall, my visit didn't meet my expectations, and I hope these issues are addressed soon because the concept of the coffee shop has potential.

Stopped in for the soft opening and I had a delicious hazelnut pastry and this wonderful fruity black tea blend in this little teacup. All plant-based/vegan bakery. Everything looked amazing and you can tell the care and love that goes into each piece. Definitely a 100/10 Treat Yo Self experience.

OMG. Best French pastry this side of Paris. No sacrifice that everything is plant based. This is the real deal for anyone with a palate. Wonderful service and ambiance. Highest recommendation!

They have a good vegan selection. I got chocolate croissant and it was ok. It was not as flaky but I understand because it's vegan. It's just the dough is a bit on the sweet side. I prefer not sweet dough since the chocolate already sweet. I also get napoleon, the custard was way too sweet, with chocolate on the top was just too much sweet for me. The dough was slightly over baked. I need to try their macaroons so I might go back for that.

This is such a cute spot in Pasadena, the staff is welcoming and kind, with a sweet like "Bonjour" as soon as I stepped inside. The selection is unbelievable! I get a little overwhelmed with all of the different options of desserts and pastries. Every time I come there's something new to try. One of my favorite parts is that there is a good selection of gluten free options! My best friend (who lives in Montana) is gluten free and I was able to send her a decent sized care package in the mail with gluten free goodies from ID-eclair. And she was amazed and ready for her next package. This included canelés, financiers (the hazelnut one is my favorite) plus all of their tarts and fruit tarts! Also their adorable dessert jars and macarons. So tasty! Their prepackaged cookies and biscuits are chefs kiss. This place felt very authentic and like I stepped into a little French portal. I will be back and hungry for more. 10/10

The food, pastries, ambiance, everything is amazing! I'm so happy that a 100% plant based French patisserie has been opened!
