    This is a cute little spot located in a historic building. The pastries are always good here, and I've had their Curried Chicken sandwich before which was also good.

    Came here on a Friday morning to get some croissants before we hit the road. It's a cute, little shop with some outdoor seats. I decided to get the almond and plain croissants bc I couldn't choose. Both were super tasty and flaky. The almond croissant wasn't too sweet, which I like. I'd definitely go here again if I'm in the area.

    We wanted something for breakfast and the Yelp reviews looked great so had to stop by. It was a Wednesday morning and there was a decent wait. The inside was adorably decorated and smelled divine. The displays were filled with quiches, sandwiches, croissants, and cakes and each one looked picture perfect. There were so many pastries to choose from that it was almost impossible to decide. I seriously panicked and just picked everything that looked good! We picked the brioche bun, macaron, quiche Lorraine, almond croissant, brownie, and caramelized croissant, There was so much more I wanted to try but my wallet begged me not to. They offered to warm up the quiche and we obviously said yes. There were a couple of seats outside but not many. There was a little bit a wait to warm up the quiche but it was worth it. Every pastry we picked as perfect. The croissants were airy and crispy. The quiche was cheesy and crust was flaky. The brownie was decadent. It was all so perfect I regret not getting more. This place was so perfect and we're so glad we made a stop here!
