Excellent selection from Napoleon to fruit topped custard tarts plus scones, muffins and almonds buttery pastries. We usually take some home too!

While walking around the marina we decided to go in and grab something to take back to our room. It's on the small side so they only allow 6 customers inside the bakery at a time. We bought three different items. Cinnamon Walnut Bun was the best of the three. The Blueberry Muffin was a bit on the dry side and the Apple Orange Tart should have just been labelled as Apple Tart. There was no hint of orange at all in the tart. While the view is great if sitting outside I would not make a special trip here for their pastries.

Coffee choices weren’t worth the hype. Really - so disappointed in the brews. Pastries were ok. Hours are not accurate on social media.

Beautifully located shop with decadent-looking baked items and food. Comfortable chairs and tables outside overlooking the scenic marina. Unfortunately it did not hit the mark for me because there were three teens working mid morning on a Friday when I visited. Very accommodating and friendly. I ordered an andouille sausage mini quiche and an iced Americano. The quiche was so laden with cracked black pepper that I could not eat it. One of the teens executed the iced Americano by putting hot coffee over ice. I basically had a watery – very very watery - tepid coffee. I ended up throwing both away. I think perhaps having a manager or someone with more experience on site would have helped.

This is a great bakery. Truly wonderful. I have tried multiple types of croissants and sour dough baguettes.

I love this place so much, it is a must-visit several times when we are vacationing here. The banana chocolate croissants and the peach mango turnovers are excellent. The blueberry tart was full of fruit and custard - no skimping on quality or flavor here. We also had the shortbread chocolate chip cookies and Linzer cookies - both are great to take home too. The apple tart was probably my least preferred of them all but everything else was perfection. The prices are worth it for the quality of ingredients and technical skill of the bakery staff. C’est magnifique!

We made it here during a big storm in order to stock up before they were closed for a couple of days, and purchased croissants and several of their dessert offerings. The croissants were delicious. there is no inside dining, however there are tables in a covered area outside. The desserts were what I would describe as 'extremely intricate and complicated" and obviously worth every penny they charged. My favorites were something with lemon and a surprising small layer of what I think was chocolate mousse, and a delicious chocolate pistachio dessert. Tiny works of art. One is big enough for 2 people or maybe even three. Definitely something unusual and worth the money.

We always make a stop here when we're in town. The food is delicious and authentic. Always busy but worth the wait.

The display alone is enough to draw you in. The pastries are sensational. I had the pistachio croissant and the wife had the chocolate almond. We loved them. Flaky, buttery and filling was plentiful and not overly sweet. The service was fast and payment was very easy. Anyone looking for a great breakfast or dessert should go here. If you want Wonder Bread hit the Kroger.

I have very mixed feelings about my visit. First, they have a sign which says only 6 people allowed in. Count before coming in or you will be asked to leave. Well… there were various employees walking around, do they count? I stood in the door and nobody said come in. I wasn’t sure if the 6 limit head count was reached or not. I did not see any chocolate croissants but I have been having problems with my eyes so there could have been some. I tried the key lime pie brûlée and got it in a container but they didn’t give me a bag. I think they placed it in the container the wrong way because it leaked goo into my purse all over lots of things and was sticky…and I made sure it was facing the right way, The young gentleman working was helpful but kept talking over the girl. There is a charge for not paying cash - they did not make me aware of that - there may have been a sign but I didn’t see it. It would be nice to be made aware because I had cash… I thought the prices were high - the food was okay but not great. Publix actually has better Key Lime Pie… there are other bakeries that are good.
