My first experience (via takeout) was quite disappointing. Half the staff was apathetic, bordering on rude, and the other half was accomodating and courteous. The food was overpriced for the portions I received. I ordered a loaf of bread online, only to discover once arriving they were out of my request, and no substitute was offered. I ordered what a thought would be a large-sized double chocolate chip cookie and instead received 3 Nilla Wafer-sized cookies. The picture on the menu was very misleading.

Love this place!!! Everything looks so tempting. I love that they have many different stations and a shop intermingled with the Caf. Everything we got was delicious. Prices are somewhat high but that is to be expected with the quality they serve up.

I have fallen in LOVE with this place!!! The bakery items are the best I've ever had. The side dishes are fabulous. I love the selection of items, things you don't see anywhere else. If you ever find yourself near here you have to stop in and try a cookie at least you'll see you'll see why I've fallen in love!!!!

Great market and bakery that caters to the international/expat crowd. Large patio for dining or working al fresco. Excellent coffee and pastries, flavorful food; good assortment of cheeses, dry goods, and they even have a wine bar.
