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.
