I came across this place when I was looking for more unique bakeries in the Bucks County area. I'd definitely call myself a croissant enthusiast; there are few croissants that catch my attention amongst the many I've tried. Most customers speak highly of there croissants here, which seem to be the main craft of this bakery.
I stopped in on a weekend afternoon around 1PM. There weren't a ton of croissants left, but you can't expect any differently if you come after the weekend morning rush. I wasn't too worried, as the bakery markets itself more about quality than variety quantity. I noticed that the bakery also had a good-sized beverage menu as well as some nice seating in the cafe.
The employee behind the counter was very friendly and offered help as soon as I came in. She answered a few questions I had regarding croissant flavors. After taking a minute to look, I decided to go for the Pain Au Choclat (chocolate croissant) and Fruit Jam Croissant, which contained apple filling. The type of fruit jam varies depending on the day. The employee rang up my order, which came to about $5 per pastry. I thought this was a bit pricey, even for a small business. However, I anticipated the price point would account for the high quality of these pastries.
I tried both croissants shortly after purchasing them. For reference, an ideal croissant has enough flakiness, that it doesn't require roasting. The quality was good, but honestly not the best I've had. They definitely tasted fresh, but the flaky layers weren't anything special to me. I ended up roasting them to get the texture of my liking.
Overall, I really like the idea and story of this place. I also enjoy the simplicity of the menu that markets quality over quantity of flavor varieties. I'm more than willing to pay a higher price to support smaller businesses, but the product didn't quite justify the cost for me. I'd say this spot is a good option for people not wanting to go far from Bucks County area, since it's really the only one of its type.
