| - I have found that every non-French culture with their own version of French pastry usually misses the mark by a mile. (I'm looking at you, Portugal. I love your bread, but why are you making croissants?) Usually you end up with something dry, yeasty, sweet, and not croissant-like at all. The thing is, this place had croissants, chocolatines, and brioche à la cannelle and they were all delish. Not traditional, but not merely an empty shadow of what they should be. The croissants were nice and buttery, though not flaky, and the brioche, warmed up at home, was full of cinnamon and raisins and really quite nice.
They also do cakes and other pastries, and have a couple of little tables for sitting with a cup of coffee.
FYI, they don't have decaf. Just, you know, if you were curious.
