Unassuming spot that absolutely kills it with everything they make. The kouign amann was beyond exceptional! I also loved the croissant au fromage that I got

Beautiful light & airy croissants. & of course, the cake that they are known for...kouing-amann is very delicious & buttery & slightly sweet. All enjoyed with our Café au lait. There are only two tiny tables there so it's really mostly takeout.

Incredible amann pastry. It was my first time trying it, it's like a honey cruller on the inside, fluffy & buttery & a crispy outer layer like a croissant but with a thicker sweet coating wrapping around it.

Must try.
