"This is a true neighborhood cafe. I love it. Also, you can tell this is a very well-run place with a strong team. Everything is always clean and tidy, and the baked goods look so fresh. I only ever get coffee but the food seems fantastic. Maybe the quality has to do with the fact that lots of the employees work here for years and are so friendly. I have never observed such a low turnover rate at a cafe."

"I got their veggie pastry that has spinach, potatoes and a PERFECTLY cooked egg on top. Amazing, I will be back! I also got a strawberry and cream cheese danish which was unique because I don’t usually see strawberries in many pastries. It was divine!"

"This might not be a fair review because I came 30 minutes before closing time at 3:30pm on a hot Saturday. After all, who wants to find a coffee shop and a pastry when it’s 90° outside in Oakland? At the same time, I was hoping for a sense of ease while they’re cleaning up, for instance, “it’s OK we’ll be here for a bit anyhow so you can relax.“ Instead I got, “we’re going to be closing in five minutes,” five minutes after I sat down with my large decaf latte and a raspberry pistachio pastry (by the way, both of those were great). It was only 3:40pm. So, I should know better and immediately go to Philz or Pete’s or Blue Bottle and get to hang out until 6:30pm. But I wanted to check out what was more local to me, and now I know. Come here when you have time before closing, get a pastry and coffee, and relax in the curious French ambience"

"First time there, food was delicious. Great bread , which I understand is baked there. Vegetarian Sandwich , ingredients were very fresh. Pleasant environment, cute and very clean. I will return soon!"

"Love this place. Great croissant, food, and coffee. It's a small place with limited metered parking, but has seating both indoor and out, and it's one of our regular stops on the way back from a hike."
