I had very high expectations for this place, but unfortunately I was very disappointed. But I understand the difficult times, and I'll definitely be back to try more things, and hopefully rectify this review. The place is not exactly on the way of your usual errands, unless you live in the neighborhood, so you have to plan for it. It has an attached covered parking with a parking entrance in the store, which is quite convenient. The lineup of pastries is actually quite impressive, they look good, in particular the tarts (which unfortunately I did not try). The viennoiserie lineup was very limited, not sure if due to covid or the time of day (approx 2:15PM). Anyway, I'm a Napoleon/mille feuille fanatic, so I had to try it. It looked dry and not fresh, but I got it anyway. Then we got a chocolate mousse and a cream puff. The mille feuille was a real disappointment, the puff pastry was very soggy, and the cream tasted old. If they told me that it was a frozen one from some time ago, I would believe it, it tasted like it. The cream puff had a layer of chocolate frosting on top that was too sugary and grainy. The puff itself was stale (was a bit hard) and the cream was ok. The chocolate mousse felt stale too, it was very sticky and heavy, not light and airy like a mousse should be. I have to say that the tarts looked very good, and I'll definitely go back to try them. Regarding the three items I tried, I cannot stop thinking that they froze a bunch of stuff when they had to close for covid, and they're now selling it on reopening. Feels like unbelievable, but that's what the taste is leading me to believe. Anyway, I'm giving 3* because I realize the hardship of covid, otherwise I'd go lower. I'll be back to try more things.
