I love this French bakery because I love their croissants!!!! I haven't been here since 2009 but I was in the area recently and went in for a caloric splurge! This bakery does not have the best hours...at least for non-morning people like me. They are closed by 1 pm on weekdays meaning that when you show up at 12:45 pm, like I did one time, there were no plain croissants left, only pain au chocolat. Not terrible but let's just say you have to go early to ensure that you have a selection to choose from.
The croissants are absolutely divine - perfectly crisp exterior, nice butter flavour and a nice fluffy interior. Some croissant interiors can be quite hollow but this one is not like that at all! At $1.80 each and a million calories...it's definitely worth eating 1 or 2 in one sitting. Okay, I had 2...but they were so good and I worked out for 90 mins the day before (or so I justified to myself). LOL.
They also serve up other croissant flavours like almond, cheese (mozzarella), and chocolate ($2.80 each). The pain au chocolate is a nice dark chocolate and very lovely.
They also make mini desserts, loafs, cookies and palmiers (lots of palmiers). They also sell cheese and pate.
I had a yummy quiche like item, even though it was not a quiche. It had a light pastry shell and it was filled with cheese and tomatoes ($3.50). Very simple but very yummy.
This chocolate item (see pic) was $5 and very small but very rich. It was like chocolate ganache, not cake like at all. It was sweet but not overly so but two bites was enough for me.
Service is friendly and bilingual. Just make sure you go early in the day!
