I am very conflicted about this place right now. If I was just dealing with the front of the store and talking about baguettes and croissants I would probably give it 4 stars but the other day I ventured into the back where they serve coffee soups sandwiches and quiche. I was so very disappointed
I ordered a croque monseur and a spinach and goat cheese quiche. What a letdown. Since the word croque actually means crunch in french you would not expect the soggy mess I was served. The sandwich was three pieces of limp bread with a very small amount of flavorless ham and unmelted cheddar. Why there was cheddar in a sandwich traditionally made with gruyere I have no idea. The top was covered in a bland bechamel sauce and gruyere. It was barely warmed through and the whole sandwich was soggy. A total disappointment.
Next on to the quiche. Under seasoned, watery with a limp crust. It seemed as if someone forgot to drain the spinach before It went into the custard. The pastry was pale and anemic with very little texture. I truly have had supermarket a products that were better.
I will continue to be a fan of their breads and pastries but will stay away from the back section
