GourmetLive: Their bread is good enough to make you weep, but if you don’t live on bread alone, know that the sandwiches, croissants, and pretty much everything from the oven are amazing.
Nadia Turchetta: Bread, croque monsieur and morning bun are delicious!!!!. Desserts were underwhelming. We tried 5 different desserts and didn't love any of them. Definitely worth the visit for the bread!!!
Alan Kwong: Everything is stellar, but if you want a good start, the croissant is distinctly perfect, and a loaf of country bread is the definition of good artisinal bread
