Great spot for breakfast pastries and coffee.  One word that describes this place- flaky.  The pastries strike the right balance of flavors- right amount of sweetness.

### rosie.ate — 5.0/5 · Nov 27, 2022
Loved visiting this family owned bakery! They had so many fresh pastries to choose from — we tried the almond and dulce de leche croissant and chocolate, coffee, and pistachio macaron. I cant wait to come back and try more of their sweets!

### jcmonogram — 4.3/5 · Jan 14, 2026
A very cute cafe across from Pershing Square.   The drink came in a mug.  Most places the drinks are in paper or plastic.

The drink was good and pretty.  A little expensive.  A nice experience.
