  • Pistachio croissant
  • Coffee and latte art

Worth knowing: Limited seating. Tables can need attention during busy periods.

Bread, pastry, savory, cake

Bread
Baguettes and ciabatta support sandwiches and breakfast boxes; the storefront is primarily pastry-led rather than a broad artisan-loaf destination.
Pastry
Classic and filled croissants, sweet and savory danishes, macarons, flan and croiflan, crème brûlée, and polished mousse desserts; family-size laminated pastries extend the viennoiserie program.
Savory
Ham-and-cheese croissants, Brie-and-fig danishes, savory danish boxes, and prosciutto ciabatta sandwiches are sold alongside the sweets.
Cake
Online large formats include a gluten-free vanilla-and-berry cake serving 10 to 12, family-size almond croissant, flan and croiflan; weddings are quoted as custom projects with bites, croquembouche, mille-feuille, and cake options.
