    Lovely, cheesy, buttery Paninis: try the glorified grilled cheese. The fruit tart is fantastic too, the pastry has a nice marzipan flavor and the Danish style custard is yummy

    Veggie mania panini is amazing. Oh, and the almond apple tart really is better than apple pie.

    They go all out on Sunday's with a "Sunday Brunch" menu. The B.E.L.T. is incredible--bacon, egg, lettuce, and tomato. Get it on a croissant.

    Turkey club panini is second only to Dave's in terms of most delicious sandwich in the area. Coffee's good, and the almond croissant is to die for.

    Don't put a child in front of a pastry window and then try and talk him into a caprese salad.

    Service is pretty bad but the food is good. There is no communication between the workers when you place an order so there's a lot of confusion when you make it to checkout.

    Nutella latte did not taste like Nutella to me :-/. The cream puff filling was light and not as sweet as expected.
