My son had seen this place on a recent visit to the area and wanted to try it. Since I was in town,…read morehe picked me up at my hotel and we drove over to check it out one Friday morning. Note that the sign is on the outside of the building, and if you have online orders, you can (and should!) use the ourside pick-up window. If you're walking up, though, you need to enter the Edgewater Public Market (tip: the door to the left is the closest to the bakery if you're standing in front of the pick-up window and realize that you need to go inside) All of the pastries and breads looked very good, but both of us decided on a cinnamon roll. We both enjoyed the rolls at a table in the market across from the bakery. It is a very light cinnamon roll (think of laminated croissant-like dough) with just enough cinnamon and frosting. If you want a more "bread" cinnamon roll like at the famous chain shops, these are not the same. I'd imagine that these have half the calories as well (at least, I am telling myself that!) Frankly, I expect I would have been happy with anything, including the pastry with pickle slices on it. I hadn't had coffee yet, so I was not in a place to remember to take a picture (sorry!)... but it looked really nice and if the cinnamon roll wasn't practically YELLING my name, my natural inclination would have been to get the "weirdest thing" on the menu (according to my family's years of data). It is called "the pretty pickle" : house made pickle, focaccia crumbs, paprika crema and pickled shallots on puff dough. If you look for it on Instagram, I am sure you'll find a picture. Along those lines, I ordered an Astro Fuel Latte. The sign was hand written, so I may have missed a few ingredients, but this is what I remember: espresso with with condensed milk and a touch of black pepper. It was very sweet and creamy with a little bite of pepper on the back end. Think Vietnamese coffee with a little kick.

I was curious how an award winning patisserie has less than 5 stars on yelp. So, as a French baked…read moregoods connoisseur who has live in Paris, France, I decided to check it out. The cafe has a cute location next to Ruby's on E 33rd ave. The location is clean and modern, and the lady behind the counter was professional and friendly. I got there shortly after 7am on a Thursday, so I had a great selection to choose from. I tried the almond croissant ($7) and the pistachio one ($8.5). Their croissant is a third bigger than normal, and buttery and flakey, as expected in a croissant. Almond croissant is delicious. There's a thin layer of almond paste, and I think they could be little bit more generous with the almond paste given the croissant is so big. There were hardly any at the ends. Pistachio croissant looks better than it tastes. There's a fluffy sour cream butter sort of filling in the middle which didn't taste much like pistachio. I would prefer a solid pistachio paste or sprinkles of pistachio. I wanted to taste the pistachio and I wasn't getting it. I would try their chocolate croissant next time. So this place might be a hit or miss depending on what you order.

I went in about 8 am on a Tuesday and while it wasn't very busy inside, most of the pastries were already gone! In order to avoid missing out on an item you want, you can order online with options to pay online or pay at the store. The croissants are absolutely delicious- crunchy, buttery, soft. Even the cinnamon roll was made out of the same pastry which was a surprise! For the holiday croissant trees, we ranked them in order: 1) Naughty Strawberry, 2) Nice Pecan, 3) Merry Pistachio. We didn't care for the sprinkles but understood the visual appeal! They were easy to wipe off anyways. Took off stars for customer service. My experience wasn't very friendly and the staff didn't look too pleased to be there either. They made a big deal about their online prices being incorrect versus what it was in store, and charged me the higher amount (even though that's not my fault but the person that entered it). I was standing there for a couple of minutes before I had the ask them what the issue was. One guy couldn't figure it out so passed it on to another person and left without saying anything. The 2nd employee came in late (who later told me she was the manager of Ruby Good Shoes - Hasena), didn't initiate any greetings, but they were quick to badmouth another employee who didn't show up for their shift. To a customer - wow! She perked up when I inquired about her restaurant and told me to come back to try but having experience working in customer service & food service, I can't support talking poorly about your fellow coworkers. Mainly street parking and some spaces behind the building.

From the moment I walked in, I knew this was going to be a great experience. The atmosphere was…read morewelcoming, the ice cream selection was incredible, and the customer service completely exceeded my expectations. The variety of flavors was one of the first things that stood out to me. There were so many fun, unique, creative, and adventurous options that it was honestly difficult to choose. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into offering flavors that are both classic and exciting, and there's truly something for everyone. What made this visit unforgettable, though, was the exceptional service from Brennan. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about him. From the very first interaction, he greeted me with an incredible amount of enthusiasm, kindness, and positivity. Every single word he spoke was filled with genuine warmth, and it was obvious that he truly enjoys what he does. It's rare to come across someone who puts so much heart into their work, but Brennan absolutely does. He was patient while I looked through all the different flavors, answered every question with a smile, and made recommendations that showed he really knew the menu. He never rushed me, and he made the entire experience feel personal rather than just another transaction. His positive attitude was contagious, and he somehow managed to make a simple trip for ice cream one of the highlights of my day. You can immediately tell that Brennan takes pride in providing outstanding customer service. His professionalism, friendly personality, and genuine passion for helping customers set an incredibly high standard. It's the kind of service that makes people want to come back again and again. Employees like Brennan are hard to find, and he represents the business in the best possible way. I also want to mention again how amazing the flavor selection was. Every option looked delicious, and the creativity behind the menu made the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for something familiar or something completely different, there's no shortage of incredible choices. I would like to reiterate just how wonderful Brennan was throughout my visit. He was absolutely lovely to talk with, incredibly respectful, upbeat, and genuinely made everyone around him feel welcome. His energy, enthusiasm, and positive attitude transformed what could have been an ordinary stop for ice cream into an exceptional experience. It's obvious that he cares deeply about both his job and the customers he serves, and that level of dedication deserves recognition. If you're thinking about stopping by, do it. The ice cream is fantastic, the flavors are creative and delicious, and if you're lucky enough to be helped by Brennan, you're in for some of the best customer service you could ask for. He is truly an outstanding employee and a wonderful person, and he deserves every bit of recognition for the care, effort, and positivity he brings to every customer interaction. I'll absolutely be coming back, not only because the ice cream is excellent, but because people like Brennan make this place stand out from the rest.

I waited until they opened on Wednesday (closed Monday and Tuesday) and made my way over shortly after they opened at 8am. There were only a few people in line, so it honestly was perfect timing. I was shocked with how many options there were. Many types of bread, pastries, etc. Honestly, it was a little overwhelming trying to make the right decision! They also have coffee and matcha. I ended up getting a loaf of bread, a savory danish, a lemon sugar cookie, and the coffee cake to share with my partner. We ate the danish and coffee cake for breakfast and saved the cookie for dessert in the evening. Everything was delicious!! I can't wait to go back and try more pastries!
