Mixed bag. Their sandwiches and savory crepes are a reasonably good deal for a quick lunch or dinner. There are better places for coffee, though (too weak for my taste). Desserts mostly good. They also sell bread, also mostly good. For a while, new owners didn't have free water, you had to buy a bottle, but enough people complained that they changed it.

Solid menu, good food and espresso drinks. Had to repeat my order because The cashier seemed to be confused by my request for an extra shot [of espresso] in my latte, thinking I wanted it flavored. Also served my 'death by chocolate' torte for here when I asked for it to go, and the consistency of it was very different from the free sample I'd tried (although both were delicious). If it's decent weather, check out the patio in the back, I didn't see it until I went to the back for water but it looked like a great place to sit and enjoy your breakfast.

The food is pretty good, and the baked goods are quite yummy, but I stopped going several years ago due to poor service. Every year or two a coworker or group will want to go there, and I'll give it another shot. And every time they'll screw up a simple lunch order, and I'm reminded why I don't go there. Today it was forgetting a side on a to-go order, while a co-worker was given the wrong soup. Three orders, two screw-ups.

Really good coffee and basic breakfast/lunch foods. The staff is friendly and super nice, but they can be a little slow if understaffed in the morning.

This is a great bakery! Their Marcarons are really good. They also have a lot of cakes and cookies, some of which change seasonally or even monthly. I really enjoy the chocolate mousse tart. Their big cookies are also really popular - you can even get cookies for your dog! They have coffee as well, although seating is fairly limited. They also offer breakfast and lunch options.
