    I loved this find. Very cute, great breads and bakery for pickup/takeout or sit down. Has a cute European and cozy cafe feel. Lunchtime is very busy but you cant go wrong with anything on the menu!!

    The fresh baked white chocolate baguettes is one of the greatest things I've ever tried. A must every time I visit. The Eggs Florentine was also worth the wait.

    Everything is amazing and handcrafted with care. I usually go for whatever their specialty latte is - the s'mores latte was really wonderful. They also do a great cappuccino and croque madam.

    Great place for breakfast and brunch, and their pastries are amazing, my favorite being the white chocolate baguette. My only complaint is the terrible parking and trying to get in and out.

    Always great service, very clean facility with a very cool atmosphere. I've tried baked goods and had lunch and it's always great. It is very crowded at lunch.

    Delicious brunch! While you're here grab some to go--the Asiago bread is a great crusty bread that's soft in the middle.

    Great place. Busy on the weekend as it is a combo bakery / small self-order restaurant. Has a kids menu but small tables. Pretty much everything here is great.

    Great place for networking in the Preston area. While I can't eat the food due to allergies, it appears to have a very happy and loyal customer base.

    Very crowded at peak times. They are not really equipped to handle it. My suggestion is pop in to get baked goods to go (separate register) or visit their food truck at local events.

    Mediterraneo sandwich is very tasty! Also the greens are very fresh and they have both sweet and unsweetened peach tea.

    Owner Lionel Vatinet created rich, chocolate French macaroons for a Valentine's Day special, but they proved so popular they've been added to the regular rotation. Read more

    This tiny cafe stays busy even during the week! Even though there might be a wait, it is well worth it. It's cozy and authentic.

    Everything is fantastic except the mediteraneo sandwich (too dry.) Get the croque madame for dinner, it's great!

    From what Ive had: Good latte, great scone, bad macaron (delicious filling but too dense and overcooked pastry)
