Updated September 2024: Went back to this location again today and the staff was awesome. But they are understaffed by a lot so be patient. The cashier is literally cooking and bagging food while running it to tables and the manager was the barista and trying to cover the cashier role when the actual cashier is doing food prep. Be patient, the food is good and worth it and the staff are doing their best. Original: One of the best places to grab a quick breakfast if you want quiet in the morning or a fast lunch during the day. And yes this is the same Paul bakery you’ll find in Paris. My favorite was the blueberry tart but they stopped making it a few years back, but I still love the prosciutto sandwiches. This morning I had a sausage, egg and cheese croissant and my friend had the ham and cheese one. We finished with pistachio and raspberry macaroons. It’s a great place for a quick bite to eat, and quiet first thing in the morning.

Came based off of reviews. The quiche Lorraine was great! Super fluffy. Wasn’t crazy about my partners ham and Swiss. The ratio was off. The hot chocolate was normal but a bit sweet towards the end. The croissant and chocolate croissant were fluffy and good. Eclair was delicious my partners tea was okay. The strawberry shortcake was dry. Not worth the amount of money.

Located in a great area atmosphere is nice lots of chairs to sit and have a cup of coffee. Food options are good I tried the vegan avocado croissants sandwich which was good but it was missing the cucumber and the spinach. Almond croissant was amazing. Would come again.

Great breakfast options: we tried the quiche, croque madame, and the egg-cheese croissant. The cappuccino was good too. The staff were friendly and attentive. I was so glad we decided to stop here for breakfast, would definitely recommend.

After leaving the museum Planet Word across the street my husband saw this cafe and wanted to check it out. He loves French bakeries. We should have kept on walking and avoided going here. The girl at the counter did not have patience when my husband was ordering and the pastry and coffee were not good. The place is spacious and the desserts and pastries did look good but without an employee who can assist you properly then there's other cafes to give business to.

Last week Friday, Nov 22, in the morning, I stopped here. The person taking my order was new to the job, likely their first week. He was friendly, had a smile on his face, eager to learn, positive attitude. While I was waiting for my drink, a customer returned, they were missing a piece of quiche. Once it was rectified, the senior staff proceeded to scold the trainee. The trainee spoke up, asserting the inappropriateness of the response. The entire situation was extremely uncomfortable. One of the most uncalled for responses I’ve seen. I’m a leader, I’ve been a trainer, I’ve been in client services leadership roles for years. I am 100% confident that the person who waited five extra minutes for their quiche would have forgotten about this as soon as it was rectified. What is not as easily forgotten, is how the employee was treated. I hope the employee who was treated this way, never returned to this establishment. The culture was negative, the senior staff were not supportive or offering them any opportunity to learn through their approach. A week later I still can’t shake my discomfort in the situation. Do better, be better, treat your staff better. Learning curves are expected, making mistakes is part of growth and development. Clients expect learning curves, they do not expect perfection.
