I have been here close to 15 times and it is always spectacular. The service is always wonderful. Sometimes on Saturday mornings the place is crowded but the staff behind the counter never gets upset and is always pleasant. There is a $10 minimum on credit and debit cards which seems reasonable.
I always buy the plain and chocolate croissants. Just like buying a dozen bagels at Brueggers, I buy a dozen croissants. When I get them home my wife likes to just open the bag and she swears that she's transported to France. The pain au chocolat really are fabulous. I recently tried the macarons and they too are marvelous.
