    Books & Coffee - Choux Sésame & Myrtille (4,00 €) - black sesame and blueberry choux. It's OK. Choux pastry feels a bit stale. Cream is really firm.

    To be honest, the breakfast wasn't amazing. I got the formulae Salee with the eggs and bacon,…read morejuice and coffee, and the basket of bread, of course. My wife did not - she just got a couple of a la carte items, and we both got a croissant. I'm going with 5 stars for a couple of reasons. One, coffee was excellent. My cappuccino was delicious, but every one of them was during this trip. Second, it's hard to find an american breakfast - it just isn't their thing. Third, the eggs and bacon were very good (but it was just scrambled eggs and bacon). Fourth, the croissant was delicious. Maybe I'm just so happy to have gotten a regular breakfast. The shop is very nice and seems like a great place to work if you need to. Its spacious and the staff was very friendly. I'd make it a stop on your trip if you plan on having breakfast that isn't just a baguette.

    Great place for breakfast/ lunch. I stopped by for a lunch…read moreon a weekday and I waited about five minutes to find a table. Salad lunch combo (formule) was excellent. Salad was seasoned with base of balsamic vinegar and basil pesto on top. In this very meat-heavy country, I was glad to find something I could eat (and enjoy). They were so busy each step of service took a little longer than I'd have liked. But at least they were all very friendly and helpful.

    Books & Coffee - Flan Vanille de Tahaa (~4,50 €) - super sweet and rich, very creamy. Good, but I wish it were less sweet.

    I hate giving out reviews with less than 3 stars, especially to bakeries here in France. However,…read moremy husband and I were disappointed with the macarons we bought here. Although most people associate the macaron with Paris, it was originally made in Saint-Emilion. According to local legend, the macaron was created by Carmelite nuns who wanted to use almond flour as the base because it was filling. Macarons here are slightly different because the recipe uses freshly ground almonds instead of the drier almond flour used in most macaron recipes. This recipe results in a denser macaron. The macarons we bought here were very expensive and quite stale. I understand that we arrived during the off-season and during a time when the country was still under a form of lockdown (people from outside of France could not travel here), so they may not have been as fresh. However, the price should have been accordingly adjusted for an item that was less than fresh, which is customarily done here.

    Really small shop. Can only for 10 people max. There are known for a type of macaron you can only…read morefind here. Taste exactly the same but has no color or cream. It was larger and covered with nuts. I thought it was spectacular. If you're near and want a unique culinary experience, this is a place to visit.! Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.
