Love the outdoor seating in the sunshine, and pizza oven definitely looks inviting. However, my latte was pretty so so a bit watery. In addition, I was disappointed to learn that they don't compost or recycle there is just a single garbage bin for all waste. This is very disappointing would love to see them add a composting option.

Nice spot... It's kinda hidden (unless you know where to look for it); I like the chocolate dipped nut cookie selections. Nice place to get a good cookie and sit and chill. Not much else to so say, other than worth a stop in and at least look and try, and I think you'll be pleased. Service was good, and atmosphere was nice, not much going on when I went by however, based on the space, looks like it could have things going on during certain times of day and year.Parking: Street parking, could get kind of busy depending on day and time go, however, seemed like plenty of street parking around, and is in a nice area to walk around; also noticed that was on bus line, and it stops right across street (if that is your form of transportation).

I have never been to the shop but I got bakery from there twice and I am always impressed by the presentation and taste. The fruit tart looks so gorgeous that everyone needs to pull up the phone to take a photo. And it tastes amazing! The fruit is fresh, the almond paste is just right amount of sweet, the custard cream is light and smooth. Definitely one of the best fruit tarts I ever had. I definitely visit the shop myself one day.

Hazelnut and chocolate rings are awesome. Good smiles and a nice adjacent coutyard.
