Luke Bornheimer: Amazingness from the counter = almond croissant, bread pudding (sweet and savory) and pecan roll. Amazingness from the menu = tomato mozzarella sandwich and roasted garden vegetable sandwich. Yum yum!

Anthony Adams: Almond & ham and cheese croissants are both favorites. Love the backyard and casual, non pretentious atmosphere here.

Brittany Birdsong: When fresh out of the oven, Best ham and cheese croissant and almond croissant in the city. They cook in small batches with high turnover on the weekends which means everything is delicious and fresh.
Connie Chiu: The best damn almond croissant I've ever had. The other pastries are good too but all you need are the almond croissants. Prepare for a line.
Ayaka Nonaka: The almond croissants are out of this world! I’d recommend a cup of coffee or tea to go with it since they are quite decadent. 🥐☕️🤤

Varun Shetty: What a beautiful space. Get the Toast #2 (butter, almond butter, sea salt). If you're meeting someone, be prepared for the challenge of talking while almond butter is stuck to your teeth.
AFAR Media: Purchase a whole loaf or drink your joe with a thick slab of toast, topped with your choice of melty almond butter, cream cheese, cinnamon and sugar or the day's special (often a seasonal jam). Read more.
Liza P: Ignore the naysayers! The toast is incredible - get the walnut bread with almond butter, honey and sea salt.

Michelle: Everything is fantastic. My favorites are the huckleberry pear almond croissant and the banana chocolate almond croissant.
Bommy: Pretty sure everything is delicious. Kouign amann's crispy caramelization is fantastic but the almond cake has my vote. Banana chocolate almond croissant is unique and worth a try.
Stephanie Wei: Love their pastries! Tried their chocolate banana almond croissant, raspberry almond croissant and passion fruit kouign amann (favourite!). Would prob pass ok their cakes next time

Brian Tan: The lines may be long but the food is worth the wait...Chocolate, almond or plain croissants are the way to go. The Croque Monseiur is good too!
Stephanie W: Favs: almond croissant, lemon pound cake, croque monsieur, rocher, glazed gingerbread (seasonal). Arrive at 4:30 for the bread or special order 2 days in advance.
Bommy: Almond-lemon tea cake, mexican wedding cookie, walnut butter cookie, hazelnut biscotti, shortbread, and almond rocher are good. Pass on the hazelnut chocolate tart; it's like a too intense brownie.
