Chartreuse Sisters — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

I walked in and was met with the most warm and inviting woman at the front. She immediately greeted me and struck up a conversation answering all my questions about her and her sister's business and all the pastries and drinks and even the history of the building. She recommended the creme brulee latte. It was so delicious and the top literally tasted like marshmallow fluff. I knew the latte would be on the sweeter side because of the name (and it was) so I got a savory scone with sundried tomatoes and rosemary to go with the latte. It was the perfect balance. I usually avoid scones because they're so dry especially the savory ones but the inside of this scone I got was so moist and the perfect texture of crumble on the outside.

Everything was delicious beyond any expectations or other French bakeries I've been to. I ordered a Chai latte, and it was by far the BEST chai I've ever tasted! All those spices and steamed, frothed milk so creamy! My sis had the Matcha Latte and said the same. Prices were in keeping with the excellence of product. Service was swift and with a smile. I'm from Canada and I'll make this place a staple whenever I'm in GR again! I'm drooling just...
