Maybe it was the time of day, but it was a disappointing visit. Other than the main entrance and counter area, the seating area to the left is cozy and there is an outdoor seating area with umbrellas shading the tables.

We got there about 1 PM and the pastry display was down to a few items. If you like crepes, there are a lot of sweet and savory options but the sandwich selection was limited and uninspired. I had the turkey and apple croissant and while the croissant was large and flaky, the inside was some turkey, one slice of cheese, and a few thin slices of apple. I was hoping for some lettuce, tomatoes, and maybe a more flavorful apple like Granny Smith or Fuji.

My wife had the BTLA and she enjoyed the toasted Kaiser roll, but I found it got a little hard as it cooled.

Her mocha had a pretty design on the foam but the coffee was a little thin and the chocolate tasted a little weird.

I have to admit being a cannoli snob, having lived in the Boston area with its large Italian community. Cannolis should be filled when purchased. So while the cannoli was pretty, it was soggy from being pre-filled.

My guess is that my experience would have been different earlier in the day

It's disappointing to see a decline in quality at a restaurant we've long enjoyed. The recent changes—smaller diced potatoes, reduced portions, substitution of baby bella mushrooms for portabellos, less meat, and less cream—are noticeable and impactful. While the prices were once justified by the high quality, it's becoming harder to justify them with these changes.
The image is their ~$5.00 side of potatoes.

This place is really cute. Affordable pastries and coffee 🙂 definitely check it out if you're in the area. We just happen to be at a store in the same Plaza when we came across this bakery. We ended up ordering chocolate croissants and it was nice and light. I do wish it was a little more chocolatey but overall it was extremely delicious.

We went for dinner and dessert and it was great, but not amazing. Service needs work, but I think they will improve as they grow. Putting napkins on the tables would be a great improvement as well. The food was great and the garlic bread was beyond amazing. It is small, but it was spectacular. The fettuccine Alfredo was good but the sauce was. A bit bland. The lava cake was also amazing. Overall I recommend this place and I think they will get better as they grow in size and popularity.

A delightful brunch experience. We were greeted by the wonderful, friendly staff (maybe even Julian himself?!)
With the extensive menu, we had trouble choosing between all the delicious options.
The bakery case is filled with scrumptious delights and the coffee bar offers a choice for every desire.
We chose to sit outside, on the cozy patio and enjoyed the pleasant ambiance while awaiting our food.
The veggie omelette, vegetable filled crepe and coffees did not disappoint.
The highlight of the meal was a chocolate croissant, which we savored with our coffee.
Will definitely be back, again and again!

Staff were very helpful, and kind. I had the Angry Bird crepe around 2 PM, and the atmosphere was comfortable even with it being busy. The crepe was delicious, and the eggs are done just right, not over cooked. The salad dressing and cheese packed a punch.
