Delightful staff. Simple sandwiches made with quality ingredients. Just a few tables plus a patio

It was the best croissant I ever had. Chocolate almond. Lovely, surprising food tucked away in an industrial park by a lady french chef who bakes amazing pastries. It was not cheap, but it was worth it .
