    We visited this place expecting an Italian spot based on the name, but it turned out to be a different style of cuisine and ambiance than we anticipated. Service was good, and we were offered a Warbat dessert as sample, which was excellent. We also tried the Dubai chocolate smoothie, but it was overly sweet and hard to finish. The Moroccan tea was fine, but the pistachio nest baklava had an artificial-tasting pistachio cream

    I looove a sweet treat. It's nice to have a place like this closer to me! I remember having to drive 50+ minutes just to get my hands on fruit-shaped pastries. The tiramisu was so good and sweet, and not too heavy on the espresso taste- just how I like it. We also got a cookie butter mousse pastry and yummmm! Service was great and we didn't feel rushed. This spot offers so many different desserts and drinks, definitely give it a try!

    Cute place, with a nice patio. A wide variety of desserts. Gelato is yummy, we tried the coffee gelato and it was really good. Great service.

    Omg, this place has something for everyone! Gelato, check. Cookies, check. Crepes, check. Cheesecake, check. Mousse, check. Ample seating to sit and enjoy the treats, double check. We happened upon this place while visiting Bilad next door. I am so glad we stopped in to take a peek. We ordered at the counter and paid at the register. The cookies are priced by weight, everything else is individually priced. Everything we tried was fresh and tasted great! We will definitely return for sure!

    I have been waiting for this place to open up since I saw them put the sign up. Not because I'm a sweet girly but more so because it just look cute and Tiffany blue is my favorite color and this was just right up my alley. Now that they are finally open, I was able to go inside and oh my God it is so pretty. The place was so neat and clean. They had excellent customer service. Everybody was cheerful and greeting me asking me if I needed any help or any explanations they answered all of my questions. I did end up, trying the coconut moose, and it was really tasty, but I wasn't what I expected. I didn't realize it was like ice cream. It had a white chocolate shell coconut, mousse ice cream. It really had a lot going on and it tasted really good.

    First time coming here with my boyfriend since we needed a sweet treat after a hard day, to heal our inner child. First impression, very nice place with ample seating, and everyone was very kind helping out. Not too crowded at 9pm on a Tuesday, but enough people there keeping the staff occupied to give us time to have a nice look around. We ended up getting some gelato each, and we each also picked out a sweet treat. The gelato was nice and creamy with a rich flavor, some of the best I've ever had! For the treats, my boyfriend got a pistachio cannoli and I got a mini Oreo cheesecake. He really liked his cannoli, but I got a flavor overload from the gelato vs the cheesecake. Don't recommend pairing salted caramel and Oreo, but they were great on their own. Way more expensive than I would've liked, but definitely worth it in the end for the flavors, selection, quality, and ambiance. Will be coming back again if we're in the area again, or if we have any more self healing we need to do lol

    This is one of my new favorite spots in all of Richardson and it's home to the best dessert I have ever had, the strawberry mousse. Every thing I've tried here is to die for. Everything is made by hand and even though they havn't even had their grand opening, they have tons and tons of delicious options. The biscoff mousse was fantastic, all the cannolis are so good, and the owner, Abool is so kind. I love this spot and will be back many times over. The vibes are also very chill and it's a great place to gather with friends

    Safe to say I'm obsessed.I've already been here about 6 times, and they've only been open for 10 days for their soft opening. This is one place that actually lives up to the social media hype (which almost never happens). I wish it stayed a hidden gem because the weekend lines are definitely about to be crazy. The place itself is so classy, it has that cozy European vibe. And everything looks as good as it tastes... honestly even better. You can tell everything is made fresh daily from scratch. Abood, the owner, is genuinely so sweet. He comes out to the tables and checks on everyone to make sure everything is perfect, and even the manager is just as nice and welcoming. You can really tell how much they care about every single customer. The chef has over 40 years of experience, and it shows in every bite. I came in early one day wanting an almond croissant and they didn't have any out yet, but he personally came to tell me he could have a fresh batch ready in 15 minutes if I was okay waiting... like?? That kind of service is rare. I'll definitely be back!!

I agree, sure is the best! -Pistachio Raspberry Croissant- not overly sweet or greasy. Perfect sweetness of pistachio and raspberry. Loved it! -Almond Croissant- crisp, golden brown crust atop with creamy slices of almond in every bite. Yum! -Spinach Feta- golden buttery crust with flavorful silky egg custard. Melts in your mouth. My Hazelnut Latte was a perfect combo of their concoction with 25% less sweet. I had a large and carried my cup with me as I toured Dallas with my lovely sisters to enjoy the local Asian scrumptious.

It felt like a true neighborhood spot--warm, familiar, and thoughtful. But this year, not even a "Happy Mother's Day" in sight. It may seem small, but it speaks volumes about the shift in atmosphere since the new ownership. Service feels more distant now, less like a community hub and more transactional. The new owner is courteous, but the inviting energy is gone. The food is still good, but I deeply miss the quiche--crafted with love and skill by the previous pastry chef. It was a standout and irreplaceable. Bread is made more often now, which is nice in theory, but consistency has slipped. My last loaf was disappointingly hard around the edges. This isn't a harsh critique--it's hopeful. I'd love to see some of the old heart and hospitality return. It made all the difference.

The typical bakeries in this area (Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen etc) are often chains, and focus on soft breads such as donuts and cakes, with the token boring croissant, and the Asian bakeries (also chains) offer a completely different style of breads, so to finally come across a place with innovative crisp laminated pastries is a treat! Note - they do not sell breads. I visited on a Friday morning around 8am and although there were only two people ahead of me in line, they were already out of almond croissants and I took the last sausage roll on display (but the bakers were probably baking more). There was a continuous flow of people in and out. The location is definitely set up to be a to-go place and NOT somewhere you come to sit and eat. No ambiance. No need to bring the friends and family, just send someone to buy a box of treats and enjoy at home. Being in a strip-mall complex, parking is easy.
