Bakery · Central Business District · 109 tips and reviews
Wilson Favre-Delerue: Hip, fun and lively. Biscuits light and tasty, fried chicken lacking in flavour, crawfish and grits not too heavy. The real treasures here are the bakery products, both daily specials and fab cookies.
Nicole Gerszberg: Cookies are unreal, also amazing coffee, avo toast, bloody Marie’s. Hangover bowl is one of a kind!
Rachel: Gourmet fast-casual kind of place, with the option to eat in or take out. Delicious selection of instagrammable pies etc. I was impressed by the avocado/egg tartine and Milk Money Latte.
