Traveler reviews
Chonda Saine
★★★★★6 months agoThe cheesecake is fire!! I bought the salted caramel, dulce de leche, and praline hazelnut. I also purchased an everything bagel, which was also fire. I will definitely come back again.

★★★★★2 years agoGreat bakery for a snack, breakfast or brunch. The place is not that big but, thankfully, they offer a fast take-away service. Nonetheless, the atmosphere is cozy and warm, perfect for a rainy day. They offer pastries of all kinds, the most traditional ones as well as new recipes and creation. We tried the chocolate bafka, soft and light, the caramel cheesecake, and the carrot cake which was perfect. Definitely a place to visit!
