I am obsessed with this place. I loved pretty much everything I tried. I order their iced vanilla latte with oat milk every time I go there. My favorites are their macarons (must try!), ground beef crepes, farmer cheese waffles (come with lot of sauces so sauces on the side for me) and syrniki. The atmosphere is cozy and their staff are always nice and polite. They do get busy but the wait is never too long imo.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would. So so good. Have tried numerous pastries before, all were delicious. However, today we tried their crepes. We had the original and the mushroom. OMG, the mushroom was so good and has a poached egg on top. A must try and the staff are all so great!! Hard to find because the signage out front is so dark, but cheerful inside.
My friend and I came here after a Friday morning workout at the local gym since it was recommended to us by another friend we were staying with while visiting for the weekend. On the outside, the shop is unsuspecting and quite discrete. On the inside, it's spacious with plenty of seating and a minimalist chic set up. The vibe was pretty tranquil and offered a good spot for people to study and do work. We decided to look into the pastries as our post-gym snacks, and ordered the following to share: - Garlic & cream cheese donut: FREAKIN DELICIOUS. This was by far the best of the three. Loved how the garlic flavor compliments but doesn't overwhelm the flavor and texture of the cream cheese. The texture was nice and airy, but also the pastry itself offered so much flavor for such a decent size. 5/5 for sure! - Sausage piroshky: Good, yet tasted like your typical pigs in a blanket pastry. 3/5 since it didn't really blow me away. - Pineapple coconut brioche: This one was a good balance - not too sweet but also the texture of the brioche was smooth. 4/5 since it did its job well! I will definitely return here if I visit the area again. The spot is lowkey but it accommodates for the possibility to work, reflect, and indulge!
The food and drinks have been very good. They mostly serve breakfast foods (omelets, waffles, crepes, etc) so keep that mind. The portions aren't the biggest but the quality is good. I've gotten the mushroom omelet twice. I really like their desserts - they served my basque cheesecake with warm chocolate and it was soooo good. My only complaint is that seated is very limited and it takes a while for the food to come out.
(G)o!! but only if you can wait out the lines, because this place is so popular right now and they're sold out by 1 or 2pm (W)ow factor - it's a hot spot!! (M)enu - got a scone and a couple raspberry pastries, phenomenal!! Not too sweet, supremely flaky pastry layers, and huge!
