Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally manageable during weekday mornings, tougher mid-day and weekends. No valet.
Dress code: Casual—anything goes. This is a grab-and-go bakery, not a linger-and-lounge spot.
Noise level: Low to moderate—short conversations are easy, but seating is limited and turnover is quick.
Weekend wait: Not applicable—primarily a daytime bakery with no dinner service.
Weekday lunch: 5–10 minutes during peak midday; usually no wait during mornings or late afternoon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—most pastries and several sandwiches are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Very limited—occasionally one or two items, but not a reliable vegan stop.
Gluten-free options: No—traditional French baking focus with no gluten-free alternatives.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re keeping it ultra-casual. It works for a quick coffee-and-pastry meet, but it’s not a sit-and-chat destination.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there’s no reservation system. Seating is minimal, so plan to take your food to-go or eat quickly if you grab a seat.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick stops—kids love the pastries, but there’s limited space and no kid-specific amenities.
Best For
Better for: High-quality, no-frills French pastries and baguettes when you want authenticity without crowds or hype.
Skip if: You’re looking for a café experience with lots of seating, espresso drinks as the main event, or dietary accommodations.
