    I dropped in here based on the online pictures of their cinnamon roll. It lived up to the hype, even though I ate it the next morning! The croissant-style layered dough was buttery, crisp, and soft all at once. The amount of icing was just right, too. Up there with the best cinnamon rolls I have had.

    Went early on a Thursday as my family was getting ready to leave town. Bought three cinnamon rolls based on reviews here. They were fantastic. More croissant-like and flaky than what I’m accustomed to back home. Just delicious! The young woman at the counter was so friendly and kind. It’s always nice to be served by someone who seems genuinely happy to talk to you.

    I’ve passed this bakery many times and have been planning to stop by for quite some time. I finally visited on a Thursday close to 1 pm. There were still items on the shelf but the employee informed me that since it was closer to the end of the day, they weren’t as stocked as they are at the beginning of the day.I got their plain Parisian croissant. It was absolutely delightful! I will definitely be back here on a weekly basis!

    I’ve walked by this bakery many times and was excited to see it finally open. They seem to specialize in laminated pastries. I bought a cinnamon roll, which is chock full of walnuts and raisins - think more like an extremely cinnamony pain aux raisins rather than a traditional fluffy American cinnamon roll. Flavors were good but a little too sweet and sugary for me.
