I had high expectations because I really love the Paris Baguette shops in NOVA. But it was just not same and disappointing. My drink order was rung incorrectly (sure, I could have kept a closer eye. But I had to repeat my order thrice. And I did not have any extra modifications…). I went to ask for a remake, but there was a bit of a line (not their fault). As I waited, another customer asked me if I was waiting on a drink because their order was taking a while too. Once the customers were gone, I had to repeatedly say “excuse me” to a staff member because she was busy texting at the register. Instead of asking for a remake of my order, I just asked for a cup with ice. She went to get it and seemed to be laughing about something. So I got the impression that it was about me (but I recognize it could be a multitude of things). I poured my hot drink in the ice cup and walked out disappointed. While that was ongoing, my friend asked the original barista (who was near their table) if she could remake my drink iced. And she said she would but showed no intention of heading to the kitchen. So the lack of urgency or care felt upsetting. Besides that, the food wasn’t that great. And my ham and cheese croissant essentially had a singular slice of meat. The meat to croissant ratio was actually crazy. The crab croquette was okay but it didn’t seem to have a lot of filling. And the strawberry croissants were alright. Sorry to be judgmental but I rarely feel this way about cafes (love sitting down and just chilling in cafes) so this experience just plain out sucked.

If you’re into trying new or unique baked goods, this is the spot for you. This place incorporates popular baked goods from several different cultures. For instance, desserts with a sweet red bean paste aren’t very common in the US, but are a staple in the Japanese dessert scene. And you can find this exact dessert along with many other unique choices at this bakery. But don’t fret if you’re picky when it comes to desserts — they have the classics like chocolate cake too, so even the pickiest sweet tooth should be able to find something to satisfy themselves here.

The process of picking your pastries is good but the line and the check process could use some work. You have to squeeze by the first checker in order to get to the second and third checkout lane. The food is excellent so we will return but could use a better layout.

Wife and I tried this place on a Saturday mid-morning. Love the self service concept, you get to browse with no pressure and I appreciate the descriptive signage so you know what's in everything, and there's a lot. Food: Cookie Butter doughnut was great, very indulgent, a "wet" doughnut I like to call it. The prosciutto, goat cheese, fig, and balsamic flatbread pizza was good, but I wish it was warm (no points off because I didn't ask). The strawberry lemon cream croissant was our favorite, simply because of the lemon cream. We also grabbed a Pistachio Cream Croissant for later. I ordered a pumpkin cold brew. It tasted like it had steeped too long because it had a bitter aftertaste. Service: I think this depends on the cashier you get. We had a younger one and had little to no interaction. Meanwhile the "mature" cashiers on either side of ours were engaging and helpful, offering suggestions and recommendations. The bakery side staff was great. They are constantly restocking the cases and the woman bringing out the tray of pizzas offered us a fresh one off her restock tray. Atmosphere: Decor is cool, not a lot of seating, it would be nice to sit outside if they had seating. Overall, we will be back for a birthday cake (they looked amazing and affordable, around $40-50), but not for the coffee. 4.2 overall rating is about right I'd say. I think I would rather support a local bakery.

If you're craving for some French patisserie and baked goods especially croissants this is a must try and place to go to. The atmosphere of the place seems clean and the ambiance of the place seems okay. The place is not that big but decent enough for some people to sit and dine in. It's more of a take out. You get to pick and choose what you like by putting it on your tray from getting it from the display case. They have lots of different choices from savory and sweet. They even have drinks to compliment the bakery goods they sell. The place looks simple but yet has a touch of elegance that showcase their best baked goods. The people that work there are friendly and gives good suggestions when I asked them which is the best seller or a personal preference of their favorite drinks. They even explained to me which has the better taste for hot or cold drinks. The ladies that helped me were Miley and Amy. I think that is their names not so sure. They were so kind and friendly especially to my little toddler. They were very patient with me since I tend to get indecisive with my decisions. I am so happy and satisfied with the food and service. It was indeed delicious to my taste buds. It's nice knowing to have a French bakery here in Virginia Beach and have a bit of a taste of their pastry that represents the French bakery goods. I would definitely recommend to others to try their baked goods. Especially the different types of croissants they implemented to their dish. I forgot to take a picture of the drinks I had but if you're wondering I had the Mocha Frappuccino. It taste very delicious and doesn't taste that sweet which I love.
