Les patisseries sont bonnes & originales. Par contre le service… Nous avons posé des questions sur les gâteaux & la dame était inutilement bête & condescendante.

Wow. Quelle belle pâtisserie avec un accueil très chaleureux & agréable. Tout est beau & délicieux. Je vais retourner avec grand plaisir. Félicitations au chef pâtissier. Vous êtes vraiment excellent.
I quite enjoyed my yuzu citrus tart. The hot chocolate felt a little weak but it might have been due to the tart.
Had a raspberry croissant & quite enjoyed it.
Pâtisseries sublimes, équilibrées & raffinées. Tout est maîtrisé : du goût à la présentation. Coup de coeur pour le yuzu, le Paris-Brest & les croissants. Accueil chaleureux, lieu apaisant. Un peu cher, parfois achalandé, mais clairement à la hauteur. Incontournable pour les vrais gourmands.

I have to say I don't understand why they would be on that list that made them famous. Like yes, good ingredients, very food presentation, but had way better pastries & croissants elsewhere. What is really worth mentioning is the excellent customer service it's like being in a hotel, beautiful ambiance but the location is like why r u there?! Also 11$ for a tiny piece of cake is beyond outrageous.
