Disappointed... After all of the hype and great reviews that I read I was truly disappointed. I am new to the neighborhood and was excited that they were just a three minute walk from my apartment.
I wish I had taken pictures of the three pastries that I bought to share them with my thoughts on each one. First of all, everything tasted and had the textures that they were day old and not fresh (I was there at 8:30 in the morning).
I love Almond Croissants and with this one it was only the sliced almonds on top that had any similarty to an Almond Croissant. It was bland and had no type of filling.

If I didn't care then I wouldn't have ordered a...
Read moreHad previously given a 5* but after my past couple of visits I’m moving it to a 4* as the staff have not been as friendly or helpful. Generally they serve incredible pastries and delicious coffee + alternative milk options. Good place to pick up a coffee to walk around the flea market. Not really any indoor seating so bear that in mind! But there is lots of outdoor seating.
Visited again a year later and I stand by what I said. Delicious pastries, expensive generally and unfriendly staff. No cold water to drink freely despite peak of summer and no toilet (though there is a public...
