I left this place disappointed...
Then I woke up after I tried their pastries!!
Quality/Quantity - Got their signature item, Mini Burnt Almond!!! And it was amazing!!!
No, I mean amazing!! Not too sweet, and you can taste so many different flavors and textures. From the almond, to the vanilla, to the custard filling, and to those candied almonds! I would and could keep coming back just for this!
Fruit Tart, La Tulipe - This was good also, almost twice the price as across the street, but that is the cost for quality! This was also in a chocolate "cup", so so good!
Also look at their drink prices, so reasonable. Too bad I already did my Starbucks run; but you already know that...
Atmosphere - Small local bakery, support locals.
Plenty of mall parking, well at least today/this morning.
Open 7 days a week from 8am or 9am to 5pm or 7pm.
Service - She did not seem happy...? Or did all my Yelp picture taking make her nervous...? Next time I will share and do a better job promoting Yelp. Anyways, as a first time customer, I asked for the best seller and then added a fruit tart to my order as I know my wife prefers that.
She was not rude, but again, she was not happy. After each of my selections, she kept asking "anything else" in a hurried manner. I am the only customer, are you in a rush?
Price - $17, expensive but worth it.
Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1986. If service was better, this would have been a 5 star review. If your pastries were not amazing, this would have been a 3 star review.
Yes, we prefer to support small businesses and locals also! I will also get my coffee from you next time.
Also congrats on the success of your other two bakeries; Sugar Butter Flour and Lavender Bakery.
