Finally got the chance to stop by and try this awesome new bakery/cafe.
Be aware they are changing their hours, I believe Monday-Wednesday they'll be closing at 5 but the rest of the week is their regular closing time of 8. I'm not sure about the weekends, I think they're still trying to figure out what hours work for them so I would probably give them a call and ask just to make sure your trip is worth while.
Now, I actually worked at Mazur's when I was growing up which is the bakery that used to be here years ago. I can say that when I walked in to Patis I was completely blown away. If I didn't know the location and building was the same spot geographically, I would've thought this was a completely different place altogether. Gorgeous gray hues of color, modern and sleek seating to sit and enjoy your coffee and a layout of showcases you just can't beat. This is definitely an esthetically pleasing cafe.
I stopped in mainly for dessert for two people. Looking at the cases of treats, I do have to say they have enough options but very very spread out. This is not your normal Lyndhurst Pastry Shop. It has a very "high end" and expensive feel to it. I opted on a chocolate croissant, a death by chocolate cookie and a peanut butter eclair. I also paired this with a small coffee. My total was around $10. I feel like the prices here are high for this town but who knows, hopefully they do well.
The chocolate croissant was delicious! So so flaky and fresh, my favorite purchase. The death by chocolate cookie wasn't my favorite. I'm sure it's real chocolate and everything but it wasn't even sweetness that it lacked, it was flavor. I wouldn't recommend that one. The peanut butter eclair was gorgeous to look at and tasted great. My coffee was also perfect, I asked if they had a mocha option and the friendly woman behind the counter said no but that she could add in some chocolate syrup and it was great. I can definitely see myself coming here to get another chocolate croissant in the near future. I'd also love to try out the breads, the olive sourdough sounds delicious.
Parking is also easy, usually there's a spot right in front of the store and if not there's street parking right around the corner. I definitely suggest checking it out but if you're used to the old school Italian bakery, come with an open mind and explore their delicious goodies and beautiful homemade chocolates and truffles.
