The pastries (including the specialty) are good, but the service was uneven over several visits & on one occasion simply rude. We appreciated the kind employees when we encountered them. Limited hours during the week seem like a red flag. There are better bakeries in the neighborhood.

I wasn't too interested in another bakery. But one bite of the kouign amann had my partner & I coming back multiple days in a row. I've never had a better dessert - they're like a cross between croissants & custard. Immaculate 👌🏼

Nice little place with this amazing Kouing Amman cake. Croissants were nice & made correctly (crispy & flaky, not bready & dry)
