| - The La Parisien Sandwich is the best sandwich I've ever had, and I am addicted to it. Even my 15 year old son is hooked. It's on a crusty French roll, freshly baked. It features brie cheese, baby dill pickles, and ham. I like get it with a small bowl of their split pea and bacon soup. It's enough food for two to share.The prices are reasonable in this bakery, and there are lots of options to choose from. The cakes, cookies, tortes, etc. are beautiful, as well as tasty. Very luxe and high-end pastries, but priced low. I love their lemon tart, and my son loves the Napoleons. The tropical iced tea is also excellent, and is unsweetened. I go to the salon a few doors down, which is how I discovered this place, and I find it verrrrryyyy difficult to resist visiting this bakery when I am at the salon. I would give this place five stars, except that I am not crazy about the atmosphere. Not sure that there's much they can do about that, without more space, though. Seriously, if they had more space/a little nicer restaurant table area; I'd be bringing my handsome husband here for some hot dates. They close for one month every year in the summer for vacation. I totally understand, respect, and admire that. But, I cry when I try the door and it's locked. This happens to me at least one time, every year during their vacation break... as I forget-- despite their best efforts to warn us in advance, with signs posted about the upcoming vacation. It's tucked back in a shopping center off of Charleston, just west of Durango, behind Carraba's; so if you haven't noticed it and tried it, you need to go check it out.
