We stayed in an apartment just upstairs from this bakery for 1 week and went for breakfast and coffee every single day. This place is A-MA-ZING! All the baked goods are delicious and the vibe to eat there is great. Even their salads and cooked omelettes are great also. You can sit right next to where the bakers are making their next batch of croissants or bread-rolls. Would recommend.
As I really want this place to succeed, a couple points of improvement. The waitresses try their hardest to get your order to you as quick as possible, however their processes can be inefficient. Sometimes they insist on taking your order at the counter, and then only paying after you have eaten. That means customers line up at the counter twice and can make for a long line at times.

I can now confidently say that this place is just great. Very nice selection of pastries (we didn't have a single one that wasn't very good). Solid omelettes and toasts. Good coffee and excellent fresh orange juice.
On top of that, very good service and good atmosphere inside. Didn't take too many pictures but definitely recommend this place. Just authentic and good (and not too basic or uncreative). Stop by if you...
