You don't need to be pretentious. The quality of the food sells itself.
I would give the quality of the pastries here a solid 4. I got one of each of the four on display. and a baguette. Total was $30 which is fine for the quality of the selected items. I didn't understand that gimmick where the staff spoke French at all.
Overall the pastries are very good. The baguette was also good. Maybe I am a little to rough and tumble for this place.
