| - I've wanted to go here so long and finally had the chance to go today. So disappointing. I don't know what everyone is raving about. The decor is very cute, which I'd probably give a 4, but it all seemed dusty and unclean, which I'll get back to in a moment. We had the ham and gruyere, which was ok but was missing something like a spread or mustard. We also had the bacon and brie, which was good, but needed more brie. I got a latte... frankly I've had better coffee at Starbucks. I expect more from a real coffeehouse. The flavor was flat plus it was only luke warm. We also got a Napoleon, eclair, and 3 macaroons. The macaroons were decent, although quite large. I prefer smaller. But the flavor was good. The eclair was fine, but nothing exciting and didn't seem super fresh. I'm quite a good baker and can do better. The Napoleon was not good. I cannot stand when a Napoleon has anything other than pastry cream. They use a combination of pastry cream and whipped cream for the filling, which is better than the places that just do whipped cream, but it is not a proper Napoleon. I'm not a super -sweet dessert person anyways, but this filling lacked sugar. The icing was a good flavor, but it was liquid instead of a thickened hard shell. For food and atmosphere I'd have given a 3, but the real kicker is I see a barrista use the restroom and not wash her hands. Gross. I won't be back.
