By all accounts this is an exceptional patisserie - friendly staff, cozy space, pretty pretty dessert pieces that tastes as good as any other. So then why am I giving it 4 stars and not 5? I don't know... Maybe I expect some eureka moment on the first bite for that truly exceptional dessert cake, which I'm not exactly sure I've ever had... Maybe there is a limit to how "good" dessert cakes can be from a taste standpoint.
Stopping by on the way to mum's, I purchased several different pieces. All were good to exceptional, with Millefeuille standing out, crème de chou and green tea cake being very good, and mont blanc being good but not great. One thing that is clearly evident is the quality of the pastries, especially the chou which was light and sufficiently crispy but tender. Pieces are appropriately priced at $4-5.
I haven't tried the crepes and plan on going back to do that, so there is a chance for me to award that additional star. Until then I will say it's a 4.4 star, rounding down to 4.
