Everyone at our table shared food, so I had the opertunity to try 4 different dishes. They were all great! Atmosphere is nice! Service was good.

I was absolutely delighted to have breakfest here. The food and service far exceeded my expectations. The fruits was absurd fresh as delicious, fantastic scrambles and of course amazing pastries. Next time I’m in Greensboro I will go out of my way to come back!

My wife and I came for breakfast visiting from out of town. We loved the ambience and relaxing, open and inviting feel of the place. My winter citrus salad was filling and hearty, and my wife's apple crepe was delicious. The baguette toast with jam was lovely and a perfect complement. Service was prompt and friendly. Everyone's food at other tables looked scrumptious, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I love the commitment to a inclusive workplace and the gentle tipping vibe! I would come back again.

The interior décor is beautiful, and the space is well lit, clean, and full of greenery. It’s great for small parties and groups. I’ve visited several times and have usually had a positive experience, and I often recommend it to friends for its fresh ingredients and unique menu items. However, the last time we ate there, we had a negative service experience. It started off a bit awkward. My partner has an apple allergy and ordered the Dutch baby. We didn’t expect it to contain apples and forgot to mention the allergy when ordering. The server also did not ask about allergies, which could be a helpful policy—especially for establishments with strict rules about sending items back. At first, we considered just taking it with us to avoid the confrontation, but when no one else in our party liked it either, we decided to ask if we could return it. We called the waitress over and explained the situation. She then brought over the manager, who explained their policy and noted that it is the customer’s responsibility to report allergies. We were understanding of this, but suggested that staff asking about allergies could help protect both the establishment and customers in situations where someone forgets to mention one. Unfortunately, that comment was not received very well. They did remove the item from our tab, and we asked to return it. After speaking with the manager, staff continued watching our table. When we later asked for boxes for our leftovers, the manager asked another employee, rather than our waitress, to retrieve the Dutch baby, as if we might try to take it with us. This felt inappropriate, as their distrust was very apparent. As soon as our boxes arrived, the employee came over and quickly took the item without offering to clear the table or asking if we needed anything else. This experience was disheartening. I’ve always spoken highly of this establishment, so being treated this way left quite a sour taste in my mouth; and I’m not talking about the lemon curd.

Fantastic French cuisine in the heart of downtown Greensboro. My friend and I split the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Egg & Gruyere sandwich which was served on the most amazing Rosemary biscuit. I will definitely be back again as it was absolutely delicious and a new favorite food spot!
