I wanted to love this cute little bakery, but there were a couple of things that happened during my visit that gave me pause about coming here again.
First off, this place is very cute if you’re a little girl. We visited for my daughter’s fifth birthday, and she loved it. It wasn’t busy at all, just six customers total including the four of us.
We ordered our food and drinks and sat down at a table. My daughter picked out this $20 pastry that looked like two large 4” macaron wafers with a bunch of frosting between them. A bit expensive, I thought, but it was her birthday.
My wife noticed it was taking quite a while to get our drinks. The person who took our order had served us our food and was now standing behind the counter looking at her phone. We thought to ourselves that maybe the drinks were being made in the back? She finally took a break from her phone and exclaimed that she had forgotten to start our drinks and that they would be right out. Sorry sorry sorry. This was about 10 minutes after we started eating.
The food was just okay. My other daughter wanted a lemon blueberry muffin and the only option they had was gluten free. It was really dense and kinda goopy, not fluffy at all. $6
The large-macaron thingy was really disappointing. For $20, I expected something incredibly mind-blowing, especially since this price point was far higher anything else they had on the menu. It was filled with overly-sugary icing and lemon curd. My daughter ended up only eating the macaron wafers because the rest of it was a goopy, toothache-inducing mess. There were, however, two fresh raspberries that I scavenged before it went in the trash, and those were delicious. We also got a couple of croissants, which were tasty.
Overall, I might come back again and just order croissants and drinks. Most of their stuff was a bit pricey, but that’s to be expected with the vegan tax. The only things that rustled my jimmies a bit were the $20 macaron monstrosity and the $6 gelatinous muffin. If those things had been good, I would have been fine paying those prices, but they weren’t so I’m not.
