I love, LOVE Manon! I curse myself for not stopping by here for months especially after lent when I knew I could fulfill my sweet tooth again. I love coming here with my friends, hanging out and having some good quality grub.
Every time I come, I try something different because every dish is just begging for it. The past two trips I've tried the turkey and cheese croissant and the bacon onion pizza and they were both amazing! Before hand they might have been too hot or too cold but now they seem to have the heating time at the just the right amount. The cheese is all nice and gooey without burning my tongue! Of course these aren't the reason anyone should come down here though. . .
Of course that was a lead in to the pastries! Those wonderful wonderful pastries! I also have to try something different everytime! The eclairs, the fruit tarts, and of course the macaroons are all great here. Heck, I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to even try a macaroon. At 1 dollar they aren't cheap, but it's always worth to try one with your order. So far Cherry and Peanut Butter are my faves! My overall favorite pastry so far though has to be the Paris Brest! Aside from the all the jokes you can make with the name (I'm immature I know) the way the creme and the bread taste together is amazing.
So in short yeah, this is one of my primo stops in the city, especially when I decide not to limit my sugar intake. It's a great place to reward yourself with every once in a while and if you're there at the end of the day, you'll see the owners come in to close up and prepare for the next day. Great group of people and I hope they're running this place for as long as humanely possible.
