I have been here twice. The first time, I had a croissant and my wife had a bagel. The croissant was flaky and buttery: it went well with some preserves and hot coffee. My wife was happy with her bagel and cream cheese.
This last time we went, my wife had a bagel again and I had the croque monsieur. It was mid-day and they were phasing out breakfast. Her bagel was a little hard, but acceptable. My croque monsieur, on the other hand was the worst sandwich I ever paid more than 5 dollars for (If it costs less than 5 dollars, shut up and eat). This thing I had at Jean Philippe tasted burnt, like no one had cleaned the grill. I couldn't taste any ham and when I opened it up to check, I found one paper thin slice with HARD edges. They are just too busy to do a good job on food made to order, maybe....stick to the sweet stuff......
