NOTES

  • It’s kind of like heaven.  Peaceful, calming, and neat, where it feels like you’re being carefully taken care of.  But not in an overbearing way.  And it smells like delicious baking.
  • A lady came in, stopped, breathed in deeply, and said, “Oh, that’s not right.”
    It took about 20 minutes to get our food, so don’t come here when you’re in a hurry.
  • I love the almond meringue.  It’s crunchy, buttery, and light.  Yum.  (Miko)
    Everyone is wearing cute aprons.  The cashier’s said “I Bake with Love.”
  • The sandwiches aren’t particularly outstanding, but the experience is calming and reassuring.  If you’re stressed, bring a book and come hang out here.
  • They are usually playing lovely classical music.
  • Their cafe au lait is outstanding.
