| - What is there not to LOVE about this place?!?
We came late one evening, after dinner... looking for better dessert option than they had at our dinner establishment. Thank God I had Yelp point me to this amazing place! It's a patisserie (with delicious macaroons!), it's a wine bar, it's a cafe... it's got a parking lot and it's open late hours!
The people were super friendly, the place is just adorable inside, and the display makes you wish you had skipped dinner and just come here to make a meal out of dessert + wine.
We had 1 of each of the flavors of macaroons in the display. The blue cheese + bacon sounded scary, but the server informed me that it's one of the most popular, and that it wasn't over-whelming blue cheese flavor (the bf hasn't acquired the blue cheese palate yet). And we both liked it! You can taste the blue cheese, but it's an amazing savory take on a traditional dessert. We also had the mango lassi, the chocolate mocha, lemon, and the strawberry. They were all very good.. would say the mango lassi was the biggest disappointment. It was a little too strong on cardamon, and too weak on mango flavor. But really, it was the perfect end to an evening. I will be back for more... and plan on opening a bottle of wine the next time!

Explanation of my rating system -
5*: Epitome of something, the best I've had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist, I guess I'll come along. I'll find something to eat. But I wouldn't have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I'll try to talk companions out of going.
