Very nice freshly baked bread and pastries. For the bakery counter takeout, just go to the left as you enter.
We did takeout. Country sourdough round was very moist and yummy. Did not need reheating before eating, because it was very fresh. Croissant, chocolate croissant, and matcha tart excellent as well. Croissants are crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. Just like in Paris
If you want to sit and order, you need to see the hostess. Could be a wait during weekend lunch time for tables.

I’ve been dying to visit for over a year now and I’m so glad I could make it today. The food was just as amazing as I imagined it would be, the staff were so genuinely friendly, and the cafe itself is so cute! I came pretty close to closing time so most of the pastries were gone, but that’s just another reason for me to come back. This cafe is not just aesthetics, it delivers true quality. I can’t wait to explore the rest of the menu. Love it! Thank you!

The place is super cute inside. I came on a Saturday around 11am and didn’t have to wait too long for a table. Service was great. Me and my friends just got brunch items, and it was satisfying but nothing memorable. Although, the almond croissant is absolutely to die for and made up for it. Definitely try the pastries here.

I wanted to try their matcha drink but couldn’t get a reservation. I parked at the hotel across the street, walked over, and saw there was a line to order food and drinks. It was very busy..and I quickly understood why. The food and drinks are delicious
I’m definitely coming back for breakfast and another matcha. I love the wide variety of drink options, and the pastries looked amazing as well.

Variety of unique pastry flavors- I got peaches & cream and the ham, cheese & béchamel croissant. I wish they had an option to toast them, as they didn’t seem freshly baked day of (ranging $4-8 each…). The sea salt caramel coffee was one of the best coffees I’ve had, $7-8 for a coffee is quite a steep price. Server was very sweet and had many recc’d! Lots of seating and great atmosphere – took 5-10 mins for the coffee to be served.

– We went there for Sunday brunch. It was crowded and the wait time was around 35 min. Even though the outdoor seatings were available, the hostess never considered them.
– The food was ok, but I wasn’t wowed.
– Our server was attentive and checked on us throughout the meal.
– The vibe and decoration was nice.

Had the country sourdough loaf this weekend. It was super good and baked just right. The world is moving away from charred, deep brown bread and croissants, yay! The loaf was shaped in a rectangular oval shape, perfect for slices. I’ll be back for more perfectly baked goodies!

We checked out this café and had a mixed experience. The chai was tasty and comforting, and the almond croissant was good — flaky and satisfying. The fig cranberry one, though, was just okay and not as good as the almond one. Unfortunately, the service wasn’t that great, which took away a bit from the overall experience. It’s still a decent stop if you’re nearby, especially for chai and pastries, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

In this modern era of fake 5 Star spots, this is an outlier. A true bastion of culinary excellence! The food here is beyond what you expect for a typical Brunchery. The pastries are flakey and fresh, the entrees are unique and delicious! The flour is imported and will not disappoint and those with gluten intolerance can indulge without fear! On top of it all, you’ll be greeted with a smile and attended to like a king. Highly recommend the Ouef & Belly.

I stopped by Oh Lala for a quick coffee break. The croissant was flaky and fresh, and the cortado was smooth and well-balanced. The only downside was the slightly long wait time. I haven’t tried their breakfast or main dishes yet, but the experience was good enough that I’ll come back to explore more of the menu.
