This is the best little restaurant we’ve been too in awhile. Very quaint, Miss Noelani is so wonderful! She is kind, friendly, helpful and does so very much on the front line. I didn’t see a manager while dining I would have really like to recognize Miss Noelani for her amazing service. The food was perfection, coffee was fresh and hot, fireplace was so inviting. The cook was so busy in the back, pastry chefs hard at work also. We will absolutely come back and bring our family and friends. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

A cute and sweet, rustic like charm of a bakery! Came here for breakfast and we ordered the Strawberry Nutella Crepe, and two American breakfast platters - with one orange juice. A yummy assortment of French pastries and baguette rolls that I plan on partaking with a 2nd visit later this week.

Absolutely loved the little bakery selection up at the front the tarts were to die for and the warmed crossiants were amazing and so buttery. Ordered A blt with soup and my hubby got the French toast breakfast. Very large portion sizes and everything tasted pretty good. Iced latte was a bit watered down but overall not too bad. Service was a bit slow but it was extremely busy so no worries there. There was however dishes everywhere many tables were covered and it was hard to find a good seat. The tables that were available still had crumbs and sticky spots. They were also completely out of forks and I had to search for spoons that didn't seem too water marked. Overall not a bad place to eat but I would probably stick to take out in the future.

The food here was fantastic, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing perfect for a nice meal out. Our server seemed to be new and was still learning the ropes, so there were a couple of small hiccups, but everything got worked out just fine in the end. I still really enjoyed the overall experience! The restaurant was very clean and well-kept, which added to the comfort. I highly recommend trying the five cheese pasta it’s unbelievably good and totally worth it!

Normally, a bakery that tries to be a restaurant also ends up being not particularly proficient at either. But that's not the case here as the place is clean, big with plenty of bread, dessert, and croissant options. The service was slow and somewhat unorganized due to staff shortage. The portions are sensible, and the prices are a bit high.
