When you walk in, the shop’s modern chic interior and friendly staff create an inviting atmosphere. But if that’s not enough to draw you in, the display of their dessert assortment certainly is. Beautifully decorated tarts, macarons, and other traditional French desserts adorn every inch of the refrigerated case while platters of incredible breads and flaky pastries tempt customers from above.
