| - In all fairness, I would give this place a 3.5.
I have been a few times to Corbeaux, usually only for coffee/dessert the products are are 5 stars (I head the coffee is supplied by Analog), although the service is on a 3 - quite often it is sloppy and gives the impression that people behind the counter are not properly trained (i.e. not good knowledge about the ingredients of each product, hard time ringing the prices at the register, etc)..
Although on the pricier side, the desserts are truly appealing to the eyes and tastebuds, so it's a treat to be enjoyed every once in a while. They produce definitely high end baked goods and I have not regretted paying the price when I look to treat myself.
I have also an eggplant sandwich, which frankly did not meet my expectations - especially not for the price I paid. I have had better sandwiches at other bakeries in town. But I have not really made an effort to try anything else from their savoury menu, so I would probably give it another chance sometime in the future.
In all, I think this place has big potential and hoping that as they continue to operate, they fix the glitches they have had so far. I have noticed some improvements from when they first started until now, so hopefully they continue on that path. In the meantime, I will keep coming back to Corbeaux on occasion for some desserts and coffee.
