I love carbs specifically croissants! The croissants here are good but OMG the Chocolate Cake!!! That’s all you need to know and that will be my birthday this year!
Parking: Shared small retail lot Pet friendly: No Family friendly: Yes
FOOD:
Croissants $4.85: 4 Star – This was a last minute decision 30 mins before they closed as we actually planned to for an early dinner at the café a couple of doors down. They had some croissants left and they were a little smaller than I like for the price but very taste. Light layers of butter goodness. MMMMMMM!
Pain Au Chocolat: $4.90: 4 Star – “Plain” croissants are always my go-to but the chocolate croissants were so big and inviting so it was like a why not. This was really good but I’m always going to take savory over sweet. HA! Yea and next it’s the chocolate cake.
Chocolate cake: This was the last chocolate cake and I felt bad for it so I added it to my bag as a last minute whim. I am so glad I did!! This was unexpectedly good as it just look like a simple cake, so innocent and unadorn but this is almost as good as the best cake I’ve ever had (which is at Pastisserie Manon in Las Vegas – their Truffle cake). The perfect equal layer of chocolate sponge, chocolate mousse, and chocolate ganache.
MENU/RESTAURANT: I actually have no idea if there is a menu LOL I walked in and saw the croissant and it was like that’s what I’m getting. Their website has all their items if anyone is interested.
The restaurant is vary sparse and basic. But honestly I love that. To me it means this is a small place that is focused on their pastry and bread 😊
SERVICE: I stepped in close to closing time so a lot of the items was gone which I felt like the staff would want to be gone. There was only one person working and he was so friendly. I assume he was the baker due to his culinary jacket. He was super friendly and was trying to my two year who was not having any of it LOL.
This place is amazing! The croissants are so light and fluffy with so many layers! I've been back twice now, shared with friends, and everyone who I've had try it says the same thing: amazing! Papa Seck is a pastry genius and he is so, so sweet! You can tell he really enjoys what he does! The lemon meringue tart was to die for! The lemon was the perfect balance of sweet and tart and the meringue was so light and fluffy. The perfect balance.
