• "The cafe is located on the corner lot, so it had lots of windows on the front and the side, bringing in bright natural light."

Cons:

• "Slightly on the pricier side per item."
• "By far the worst mocha we've ever had."

Food & Drink

Pros:

• "Everything we tried we really enjoyed. Very savory croissant and quiche."
• "Amazing espresso that is so smooth and sweet."
• "The pastry-napoleon was light and creamy, and the Nutella banana crêpe was delectable."

• "The pastries are out of this world just like in Paris!"
