| - It is true - this place is expensive.
This is the kind of place where you buy gifts and treats for the out-of-towners visiting or to bring to your friends from somewhere else. They package everything so very nicely and have their pretty sticker on everything and have a nice bag, etc. i.e. the presentation of their treats is very excellent.
But to come here a lot to just binge and indulge for yourself - it gets very very expensive... I've done it, though, and I do encourage you to visit this place to try some of their treats! They are quite good.
Chocolates - I think they make them here. They all look very much like works of art. Each little ball looks like it is special. They do taste good. The white one has brown stuff in it, and is not as good as the other ones in my opinion, but that is just a taste-thing. When I eat their truffles, I feel like I am eating my money away quite quickly. (But really, money doesn't taste as good as these things anyway)
Pastries - Pretty and not cheap. Both mille feuilles are great, but I'm not a connoisseur of million-feuilles, so that is my humble opinion. Tarts delicious
Cookies/breads - Very good and fresh
Food - overpriced! Don't go here to eat! Seriously. I have not yet eaten something here that I would ever eat again, although I have eaten 'real' food here too.
I have found the staff here very nice and helpful.
There are these little pretty squares in the refrigeration section that are like mini cakes. I was going to get them, but they were $20. Ouch.
Summary - when you go crazy on a food binge, your wallet will feel it. It is a great place to get gifts for others' because there food looks so pretty, is packaged so elegantly, and tastes very good. Not for the struggling student to go to regularly. You'll be fat AND broke.
