  This place is excellent. The breads and pastries are so fresh. It's nice to have an authentic French bakery around. The staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable.

  The pear amandine pastry was delicious and impeccably made! The pastry crust, the tart creme, the crumble, the pear bake, each aspect was very well done. (I should know, I'm a master at watching baking shows.) The pastry cost about $3.50. The other pastries and bread looked amazing too. I regretted not buying more items when I was there. I wish they had any seating area and a real coffee bar to go with the pastries, it'd make it perfect! This is more of a take out place though now. Free street parking was available when I went on Easter Sunday.

  The almond croissants here are unbelievably good. Truly, unbelievable. The crispy outer part, the gooey almond-y center. I mean, wow! The standard croissants and chocolate croissants are also far above average. I also had the sandwich served on a baguette once and it was the perfect sandwich. I cannot recommend this place enough. I'm typically an italian bakery kind of girl, but there's room in my heart for this french one.

  The best French bakery in Lawrenceville! The prices are reasonable for the quality. Be ready to wait in line, but it's worth it. I enjoy the prosciutto sandwiches and the French bread is excellent. All of the pastries are amazing. The establishment is very small and tends to attract people that have a sense of entitlement. On more than one occasion, the line became dicey (there's no ticketing system) and directions to the back were required :-)

  Very good French bakery. Got a mix of things on our first visit. It was not sugar sweet like you typically find, which actually makes it taste better. Everything was quite good. They had sandwiches, which I didn't try, but will have to go back for. I guess they sell out quickly, as we were there at 12:15 and some of the sandwiches were already sold out.
