“ What stands out to me is that they dont rely on sugar and butter!! If you are concerned about sugary taste, greesy taste of bread, this would be the best place for you. Rustic french baguettes is so crusty, perfectly aery. This golden brown crust gives so aromatic and fantastic flavor! Their baking and fermentation skill of dough is exceptional! ”
“ Great selection of quality treats. Thoroughly enjoyed the lemon cheesecake and pear tart. ”
“ Fruit tarts are excellent with flaky crusts and smoothly rich custard. Fruit itself is impeccable in presentation and they have good variety in topping variations. Went around 11am on a Sunday morning and there was room to sit down. Service is good despite it being fairly busy. Coffee is nothing to write about. Theyve got some drip variations and a house blend, but then again youre not going here for the coffee. ”
“ Incredible fruit tarts. Beautiful fresh fruit, short pastry and vanilla cream combine to make an incredible dessert. ”
“ How cool is it to have this bakery so close to the bus station? We live around Lake Merritt and so we were waiting for the 339 bus that takes you up to Chabot Science Center so that we could hike to Redwood Regional Park on Sunday! While waiting for the bus we were getting hungry so we hoped across the bus station to this lovely bakery. They had so many great options from savoury to sweets and freshly baked breads! Already hooked!!! We got 2 ham and cheese morning buns and then we came back after our hike to buy some sweets just before they shut at 6pm. Friendly service and amazing treats. Highly recommend if around the area! ”
