Sualeha Naviwala

just happened to find it along my route on a cold windy afternoon when I needed a hot drink. hot choc was ok but the bite sized lemon tart was out of this world. Def going back for the food

Ezzz

The best place ever!!!but I'm little upset about their coffee cups,its really hard to control,I personally prefer the regular coffee cups.also you should try their pistachio tart !!

Nate Ullrich

Most amazing staff ever!! In the pouring rain MADELINE let me sit and charge my dead phone so I could find where my friends had moved to. Simple things like not being down poured on is amazing!

The berries and cream waffle is one of the best!

Sualeha Naviwala

Finally had a meal here, consisting of the most wholesome, real tasting food I've ever had out. Not loaded with grease or fat, not overly salted or sugary. Everything was just perfect. Impressed.

Healthy food is great but, in Belgium they'd still give you some butter with your bread .

Julia

Got the avocado toast there- was good but nothing special. The raspberry tart is excellent though!! Staff is nice. All in all I find it a tiny bit overpriced

Tartines were a bit bland but the pavlova was amazing!

Thomas Mærkedahl-Nordlander

Nice atmosphere, the food is ok (allthough the bread is dry and the tuna came from a can) - but the A/C is cranked up way too high. Bring a coat. And mittens...

James Tu

A lot I people watching here. :)

If you're from Long Island , then you'd know that the bread here is much better than Panera's.

Great baquettes although the price has increased 50% in 3 years.

Cristiano Brito

Belgian Organic beer

Prosciutto and fig tartine is amazeballs

Eduardo Holguin

5m to be seated. 15m to get the menu. Left after 10m more of just being ignored. Avoid this one.

White bean soup is so yummmm!

Jim H.

Coffee , everything...

Itai Jamshy

Take a baguette and a cheese . Excellent combination.

Yee Han L

The service is bad and the hostess is crap at her job. If u come when there are lots of people waiting in line , u need to force ur way through as the hostess has very bad memory - it's an animal farm

Russell

Love le pain but the service at this location is terrible. Had to seat myself and then was totally ignored.

Nate Ullrich
