Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

This is such a cute hidden gem! The decor is so cute and the inside even cuter. The area tends to get crowded so parking may be difficult, but I was able to easily find parking in the residential area. Service was great and all staff super welcoming! Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area. I enjoyed some pastries down at the beach. I will say I was sad that all the croissants sold out, definitely will get there earlier next time!! Cinnamon loaf: (5/5) OMG. It’s like a croissant/cinnamon roll pull apart bread? Idk. But it was delicious. Soft, moist, and so delicious!! Strawberry scone: (5/5) I was surprised at how delicious this was! It was soft and moist as well. Great flavor. Chicken salad sandwich: (5/5) Sooo yummmy! I could’ve eaten the entire thing. My friend and I shared. The bread was fantastic and the flavors are so good.

I went at 8:30am and they were fully stocked. Very quick, efficient service. ~$25 for six pastries, which felt super affordable. The ham and cheese croissant was my favorite, but it does feel like the kind of establishment where you can't go wrong, no matter your order.

The only reason I’m giving this a 5 star and not a 4 star is because they have an efficient order ahead system through their website. Based on other comments and the AI summaries I saw on Yelp and Google, it was recommended that I order ahead which is exactly what I did and it was a fairly easy and a quick system. It looks like their weekly menu keeps changing which is a both a good thing and a bad thing because you get to try new things but may not always get to eat your favorites again. I pre-ordered on a Thursday for a pick up on Friday and they were already out of their seasonal Black Forest Bun which sounded delicious. After scrolling through the menu multiple times, I decided to get the Pistachio Strawberry croissant and the Kouign Amann. When I arrived at the store, I immediately noticed the pre-order pick up window and was so glad that I wasn’t standing in what seems to be on atleast a 25-30 line which I though was crazy for a weekday morning. The staff that gave my order was so friendly and it was so quick. What’s great is they hold your order for atleast 24 hours in case you’re unable to pick it up. There is some seating in the patio but honestly it’s not meant for sitti

Had the pistachio, orange and ricotta, chocolate croissants, and strawberry scones. The orange and cream is probably the best imo. Need more chocolate in the chocolate croissant!!! And I also spotted those nice muffins! This place is great except for the long line on weekends. Consider order ahead!

Seriously the best croissants I’ve ever had, as a very serious life long croissant critic. The line seems long but it goes by super quick. The options for sweet and savory croissants is incredible. I wish I was local to this bakery! Their coffee was super good as well. Their prices I would say are actually cheap for how amazing their quality is. I paid about $17 for 2 croissants, and an oat milk latte. HIGHLY recommend!!!
