Another wannabe gourmet bakery that doesn't quite hit the mark. One star off the for ridiculous prices, one star off for the stale cake and one star off for the service and convenience.
The food is good, the idea is great. But what exactly are we paying for? Was super excited at this new bakery in the neighborhood. It had nice decor and great location, although parking was meh. And I was sooooooo excited that they had Mille crepe cake cause I was dying for it and I didn't want to go downtown.
Let's just say that everything looks great but they don't taste as good as they look. The crepe cake was awful. Was obviously sitting on the shelf for too long the tip of it was hard! And the crepe texture was mushy and the cream tasted like nothing. I felt like I was eating green mush and I love crepe cake. This place just didn't do it justice. I didn't finish my slice. And the worst part was it cost me 7.50!!! Needless to say I will not pay another 7.50 to give it another chance.
Again the Danish raisin swirl looked a lot like the one that I had in Paris but it was far from it and it probably cost just as much. The pastry was hard and not flaky, there wasn't enough of it, it was hollow inside, the flavoring was lacking. At least it had lots of raisin. I guess that compensated for the fact there were no raisins in my coconut raisin braid!!! The ham pizza mini loaf was alright but for more than 8 bux I would expect a bit more ham.
If you are looking for the general Chinese buns don't come here cause it's not worth the price hike! And for the same price you can find equivalent French pastries elsewhere that's definitely better. But I guess if you are looking for some fusion buns like kimchi or sushi buns then this is where it's at! Service was slow, "boss" lady had some attitude problem and don't order the crepe cake go to the place downtown if you can.
