| - I come here more for the atmosphere than the food. With the exception of the palmiers and the twice baked croissants, I've had better. Everything I've tried was just OK, nothing to wow over.
My most recent visit was during breakfast and I had a ham, cheese, and egg croissant that, in my opinion, could've passed for a Burger King Croissan'wich. Enjoy your breakfast with the Cafe Fouette (4 shots of espresso, vanilla bean syrup, cream) and it saves the day!
One big disappointment for me during my visits has been the macarons. Sure they look nice and pretty all lined up in the case, but when you bite into them, it's not what a macaron experience should be. For some reason I keep ordering a few every time I come in hoping that "this batch will be better than the last", but it never turns out that way. They're hard shelled (like biting into a rock) and not as chewy or airy as I expect. For macarons that are done right, go to Renaissance Patisserie or Cafe Monte.
I can't leave out the salted caramel brownies. They're my wife's favorite and she contributes constantly to the sold tally they have on the wall. They are pretty decent. Grab a few when you're here!
