Came here after studying with the bestie, and I'm so glad I made the visit. Although, they're going on \"summer break\" soon. \n\nLet's start with the good: MACARONS. $1 Macarons were welcoming. I had the Salted Caramel and Chocolate Mint. Salted Caramel: AMAZING. Mint Chocolate: EW. I love this place but this just tasted like bad toothpaste! I also ordered the black forest cake. It was just okay. It honestly just tasted like chocolate cake to me and wasn't anything out of this world. \n\nI hope to come back and try other pastries and the sandwiches as well. \n\nThe biggest point, I would say, is the decoration and branding. There is definitely some renovation to be done here. My sisters described the place as \"spooky,\" which is the opposite of what a place with great food like this should be. Also, it was a bit confusing to see that the biggest sign on the building actually said french pastry & bakery rather than the actual Patisserie's name. Definitely has great potential though!"^^ . . .
