The coffee, it was pretty good, it is a automated machine to make any of the espresso drinks, not a barista preparing them. All in all, it was not too bad. This is a large facility, lots of room, and it was quite empty when we were in there, but many people coming and going to live and then nearby condos and apartments.

And the quality of the ingredients, especially chocolate. I had the classic chocolate croissant.. and honestly, it classics hands down, the best I ever had. The problem with chocolate croissants is that almost always, there's very little chocolate in them. Ths was FULL of chocolate! Perfect for dipping in a latte as well! I also ordered the pumpkin spice croissant. Simply, unbelievable! Honestly, disregard the negative reviews. I have encountered people here who write things because they simply don't know quality. You'll love this place! And the environment and decor is beautiful and relaxing!!! Can't wait to try something new!! ​​

I was really excited to come check this place out. With a name like "Le Croissant Bar," I was…read moreexpecting a cute, classic French bakery vibe, but unfortunately, it didn't feel like that in the slightest. We tried a few different items: the chocolate croissant, the cinnamon roll croissant, and the ham and cheese croissant. Our favorite of the bunch was the chocolate croissant; it wasn't overly sweet or too chocolatey, which I actually appreciated. The ham and cheese croissant wasn't too bad either, and I did finish the whole thing. However, the staff recommended I try the cinnamon roll croissant, and I honestly wasn't a fan. It was so heavy that all I could think about was the calories, and it just made me realize I would prefer a good old-fashioned, traditional cinnamon roll instead. The ambiance here is definitely interesting, but not in a way I expected. It really didn't feel super welcoming or give off that warm bakery environment you hope for. The staff was friendly enough to offer a recommendation, but the overall vibe of the physical space just felt a bit off and uninviting. I'm really not sure if I will come back to this spot. I had high hopes, but both the atmosphere and the pastries fell short of expectations. Hopefully, they change a few things around with the business down the road, but for now, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

This is primarily a review of the cake I ordered for my birthday. I ended up needing to pick up the…read morecake on mother's day because they're closed on Mondays. It was pretty easy to make a cake order and the writing was free, unlike online where it says $5 for writing. When I got the cake, I was a bit disappointed. The writing had bled onto the cake, there was a crack in the frosting and it appeared that the frosting at the bottom leaned piped to the board instead of the cake. I didn't bother mentioning this at pick up because it didn't seem like the worker was also the cake person. The cake itself was a tad dry but light and airy. For the price I paid, I was disappointed by the outcome. Even if it was due to additional cake orders due to mother's day, I do expect better than this when I buy a cake from a local bakery. Also if you like crispy croissants, I do not recommend the Sichuan pepper cruffin. It was tasty but it didn't have the crisp that you'd expect from a bakery.

And…read morehere's how to have the perfect 5 star experience: get an Energy Blast Acai Bowl and if they have them on the counter, snag a Paraibuna banana candy, too. Their acai is just perfect level of sweetness, but I've seen some variation in the texture from extremely thick to a bit runnier. They are super generous with the amount of peanut butter, which is super nutty and fragrant. Also hard to find a place that throws in Brazil nuts as well. I think at one point I came 3x in one week during the heat wave and getting this as a little pick me up is just undefeated. They also had some seasonal drinks the past few months and their dragonfruit smoothie is a bit on the sweeter side, but you can definitely taste the pitaya! Parking is easy and I've never seen too large of a line, but service isn't the fastest if you're in a rush. No bathroom from what I can tell, but plenty of seating to try your snacks immediately.

We found One Bite Cafe when searching for new interesting food on the Eastside of Seattle and their…read morecroffles immediately caught our interest. The cafe is in a small outdoor shopping area with many other shops and restaurants sharing one big parking lot. It was not crowded when we arrived so we parked right in front of the cafe. The inside is big enough with a good amount of tables to sit down and enjoy the food and drink. Their menu has a variety of options with the croffles displayed right in front of you so you know what they look like. Their drink is decent but didn't impress us as much as the croffles. This was our first time trying croffles so it may not apply to everyone. They have both the sweet (with fruits) and salty (with meats) options and that fits us perfectly because we have different tastes. The croffles were crispy, not too sweet, and I think they would pair really well with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast. In overall, I think it was a great experience. The fact that it is not crowded already makes it a good place for chilling during weekend morning where you can enjoy delicious food and drink.

So we would not get the bun or the khachapouri again. But the choux and tart were delicious. And I'd be very interested in trying other items. This is a very pricey bakery, but nice for an occasional treat.

Fortunately, they had what I had hoped for, buttermilk bar donuts. I decided to go with two, which came to a total of $4.40. The worker who helped me was friendly and eager to engage in conversation. The donuts were a moderate density for buttermilk donuts. The exterior of each was crisp and the glaze applied in a thin layer. The sweetness of the glaze was not overpowering. I found the two donuts to be a perfectly satisfying quantity as they were on the smaller side.
