Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

GOURMET TREATS! I was in the area for my doctor’s appointment and wanted to get cake slices for my son. The bakery is located close to metra station. There are only a few spots on the street for car parking. The bakery is spacious with a nice ambiance. They offer a huge selection of baked goods. I ordered a trois chocolate and royal slice. The lady at the billing counter somehow showed me an eclair for my order and was placing that as an order. I had to restate my order for which she had to redo the boxes. This added to the wait time. The place was fairly packed and it was hard for the waiters to deliver the order as the billing area was getting full. The treats tasted good. Definitely the sweetness and the texture hits the spot. This was my first time trying them. I wish this place was closer to try more stuff. I also wish they had like a printed version describing the breads, pastries, cakes and tarts. That ways people like me are more familiar with what to expect and play around with fun flavors. Pros: Variety Taste Quality Cons: Prices Busy place Parking

Delicious. The quiche and eggs were savory and satisfying. The oatmeal walnut chocolate chip cookie was excellent and the éclair was better than many but a little soft for my taste. The brownie was a little hollow (sugary and not rich) but the other pastries looked outstanding. I'll certainly be back again.

One of my favorite coffee spots. Never disappointed. Great coffee, delicious pastries, and I love the newly extended seating area. Always a cozy, enjoyable experience. Will definitely keep coming back.
