Heard so much about this croissant place and finally got to try it out! I came around 11am on a Friday and was able to try out a wide selection. Their croissants are perfectly buttery crispy and flakey. My favorite croissants are the savory ones like mushroom bechamel and the French onion. I think they start to run out of popular flavors by this time, because I came back again and they sold out of the mushroom bechamel. Limited parking within the plaza; however, you can find street parking. read more

Fondry - Wide selection of croissants - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went on a Thursday morning and there was a small line. I waited about 15 minutes before getting the pastries. For parking, there is a small lot but it was full so I did street parking nearby. I think it is pretty easy to find street parking in the neighborhood. There is a limit of three pastries per person (excluding financier and the hazelnut). I got a pistachio cream, almond croissant, and yuzu meringue croffin, and financier. Pistachio cream - was my favorite. Very crispy and yummy pistachio cream which is rich and nutty yet not too sweet Almond croissant - again very crispy but didn't find it too special compared to other places Yuzu meringue croffin - filled with yuzu cream which is lemony. Was special in a way that I never tasted similar pastry anywhere else Financier - was my least favorite as I didn't find anything special Willing to come back to try more as long as the line is not too long. Personally, I dont think it is worth waiting longer than 30mins in line read more

Fondry - A Flat Croissant :/ - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We came here once before, and yup you want to still come a little early before opening because there's a line!! The line moves relatively quickly but there's still a limit of 3 croissant variants per person. I came with my partner and we got 6 croiffins, danishes, and croissants. However, they also had some new items like a pancetta biscuit so we got one of those too. And it did not disappoint! We absolutely love the croiffins - I always get both the framboise and yuzu meringue. They're "not too sweet" and the flavors are there. It can probably be a little less doughy but idk if the muffin tins affect the texture. My favorite this time around was the mushroom bechamel. It was the best savory one we ordered with great flavor from the mushrooms. The cheese wasn't overpowering either so I regret not getting more than one. The ham&gruyere and French onion ones fell a little flat for me. I feel there was minimal content in the ham and cheese so it was a little disappointing. The onion one wasn't bad but it did not blow me away like the mushroom one. It's nice little treat to have every once in a while so when we crazy a lil something something well come back! The space next door also has some new stores in so check those out too! Parking lot is small but there's plenty of street parking. read more

Arrived around 11am and the line wasn't too bad-around 15 minutes wait. There was a limit of 3 pastries per person. They also offer their amazing Kumquat and Loquat coffee. The store is pretty small and service was great. There's seatings outside. We got everything that Yelp suggested-pistachio, almond, yuzu, etc. and all was so tasty and worth the wait. One of the best and favorite shop. What's amazing is that the croissants and pastries still taste delicious the next day. My favorite was the yuzu. read more

A cute and small bakery with croissant based pastries! I came on a Saturday at 8:15 AM and there was already a short line forming. They open at 9AM and close at 12 PM or until sold out! They limit you to 3 pastries per person to prevent people from mass ordering and to try and give everyone a chance to purchase pastries. - yuzu meringue croiffin: 9.8/10. heavenly. The yuzu flavor is strong and the meringue is so light and fluffy. These flavors and textures pair so perfectly with the croissant muffin. - mushroom bechamel danish: 9.5/10. delicious. such a good savory pastry with lots of mushrooms. This was so delicious and flavorful. Wanted more of this after finishing it. - pistachio danish: 8.8/10. the pistachio cream on this danish is so rich and decadent as they pair it with a thin layer of some kind of nut butter or chocolate. On the heavier side for a pastry, but so good and flavorful. - triple chocolate croissant: 6.7/10. I expected more chocolate on the inside because it's a "triple" chocolate croissant but nothing special or different. - french onion danish: 6.5/10. Not a fan of onions, but a little too sweet for me as a savory pastry. All of their pastries are so crispy and fluffy. The croissant dough they make is so well made/prepared and it really shows in their pastries. Will definitely be back for my next LA trip to try more! read more

Fondry - mushroom bechamel, french onion danish, yuzu meringue cruffin, pistachio danish, triple chocolate croissant - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're looking for high quality pastries, please head over to Fondry. This small shop offers an ample variety, and everything I've tried has been to die for. Their drinks are good, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. Due to popularity, there is a limit of 3 laminated pastries per customer. However, there are a handful of other pastries to which this limit does not apply (the financiers, cookies, biscuits, and gluten free hazelnut pastry (my personal favorite)). Their danishes are popular and tend to sell out quickly, so if you would like to try them (the options when I visited were pistachio, French onion and mushroom), I recommend you try to be there by the time Fondry opens. The line is long. The building is attached to a small parking lot, but if you cannot find parking there is ample street parking available. WiFi is available. I did not see outlets. There are three small tables inside, and outdoor seating. I would not recommend trying to work here due to the foot traffic (it's very busy) unless you came at a slower time or sat outside. read more

Came here to try their pastries, but it is quite a drive here. The parking lot is tiny so I've had to go look at residential parking each time, which isn't too bad. They also have a 3 item limit here so that they have enough pastries for everyone. croissant- I love them. They're so crispy, probably buttery and have a crunch when you bite them. The chocolate one also has chocolate bits in them inside and it's really good haha. I also tried their pistachio cream danish which has a dollop of pistachio cream in there which I was surprised at the middle wasn't just soft and messy - it was easy to cut in half and this was also really flaky, buttery and delicious. I kinda want to try other ones (like their mushroom danish) but guess I need more people to try more pastries haha. They also have coffee here as well! Not much seating - they have some tables outside. They also do sell out of certain pastries so you do have to go early haha. read more

Oh my gosh is all I have to say. This place was amazing. My cousin and I decided to hit up this place on a Sunday morning. We got there around 8:30 AM and was about the tenth people in. Fondry opens at 9 AM. They do have a parking lot that hold about 6 spaces so we got street parking. There were a good amount available. You're only allow three items per customer. I ended up getting the yuzu meringue croffin, mushroom béchamel danish, and coffee and cream. I love all the flavors and the crispiness on their pastries are unreal. I would eat them right away cause after a couple of hours it's not as crispy. You must try it fresh to capture the goodness in all its glory. I did love the yuzu and the mushroom. I would want to try their ham and cheese next and their other flavors. I'm already planning when I can come back again. It's that good. Overall, run and give this place a try. The hype is real. read more

I was here once before and didn't get what all the fuss was about. I was in the area and decided to give them another try. They've expanded the hours somewhat and are now open on Wednesday and Thursday now. There was still a short line on this particular Wednesday morning and each person was still limited to 3 items. The pastries all looked pretty enticing. Vast majority of them are basically made from the same croissant dough with various toppings and fillings. Anyone can make a crispy croissant and anyone can make a buttery and moist croissant. The challenge is to make croissants that are slightly crispy on the outside and airy, buttery, and moist on the inside at the same time. Anyone who's had croissants from La Maison D'Isabelle and La Pâtisserie Cyril Lignac knows what I'm talking about. The croissants here are decent but there are a few issues. (I'm being nick picky) The outside is properly crispy but the interior of a few I tried could be a little more buttery and moist. The filling in the filled croissants like the almond and ham and gruyère were very inadequate. The filled croissants originally came about as a way for the French bakers to move the leftover croissants. They were therefore always twice baked (rebaked after the day old croissants had been filled). The Fondry tries to make them single baked and can't put enough fillings inside without ruining the baking process. Fondry is decent enough for those happen to be in the area. Not worth driving across town or standing in a long line for. read more

After seeing this shop on social media over and over again, I knew I had to stop by and try. Concerned about the long line, I arrived within the first 30 minutes of opening and to my surprise, the line wasn't too bad (about 15 minutes). I ordered the ham and gruyere, apple crumble, and almond croissant, as well as a matcha latte. This place definitely lives up to the hype in terms of quality and taste. The apple crumble was sweet, a bit tart (which I enjoy) and the the ham/gruyere was equally delicious. The winner for me, however, was probably the almond croissant since I'm a sucker for almonds, it was simple and to the point. The matcha was smooth, creamy, and hits the spot. Interior is new and modern and parking could be a challenge since the lot is a bit small. Street parking is available but that can be a challenge depending on the time of the day. read more

I've been to Foundry in Highland Park twice--once after 11am when many items were sold out, so I recommend getting there early. The bakery opens at 9am, and the line grows quickly. If you're a pastry lover, this spot is a must-try. The croissants are buttery and flaky--my mom even said it was the best croissant she's ever had. I also tried the Kouign Amann, Brown Butter Financier, Triple Chocolate Croissant, Croissant Presse, and Yuzu Meringue Croffin, all of which were fantastic. The ambiance is cozy with a small counter, a couple of tables, and a stand-up counter. Parking can be tricky--there's a small lot. You can park on the street nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Been wanting to try Fondry for a while- I went 2 days in a row to try different items. They have a 3 croissant item limit per person. I ordered the French onion danish, mushroom bechamel danish, & berry beau (valentine special) on one day. The second day I ordered an almond croissant, framboise croiffin, & yuzu meringue croiffin. I went before opening so the line wasn't too long yet. They have an assembly line behind the counter to keep the line moving. Both savory Danish (French onion & mushroom bechamel) are delicious- I'd get those again! They're both well filled as a Danish. The berry beau is filled with strawberries & chocolate ganache- a sweet treat for the valentine holiday and a perfect combination. The framboise croiffin & yuzu meringue croiffin have lots of filling and I love the flavors. The yuzu flavor is light and I really like the meringue fluffy top. The framboise is raspberry flavored with a fresh raspberry on top. The texture of their croissants are buttery and flakey. Parking- small lot with 6-7 spaces or street parking read more

Fondry is a highly regarded bakeshop in Highland Park that started a couple years ago and has been on my list forever. I was always a little intimidated by the long lines every time I drove by, especially in the mornings. They also have pretty limited hours (9am-2pm, Wed thru Sun), and may run out of popular items quickly so timing is key. I finally got to go during my Christmas break, and it was a rainy day...which in LA means no one goes out so I lucked out with no wait. That said, I did have to trudge through some massive puddles in their parking lot to get there. I picked up 3 items: their quiche, an almond croissant, and a seasonal matcha fruit tart. Everything was delicious and absolutely did not disappoint. The croissant, in particular, was probably one of the best croissants I've ever had. Will definitely be back - just hoping I manage to time it right again when there's no line! read more

Came at 9:15 and there was already a long line, waited about 40 minutes. The pastries are delicious and so flakey and crispy though. You can see all the layers. They only let you get 3 laminated pastries per person, so I got the Pistachio Danish, Kouign Amann, and Yuzu Meringue Croffin. Also got a Cortado. They have a few seats inside with a patio outside. Small parking lot out front but easy to find street parking. read more

Fondry has excellent, melt in your mouth, pastries that are crafted with care. The chocolate chip cookie balanced its chocolateness with some savory sea salt. The yuzu croissant had a light custard filling. You can tell they put time and effort into crafting these. They are on the pricier end but worth it. Plus a nice little patio out front for dining. read more

The croissant dough is well-crafted, but the selection of other options feels a bit limited. Overall, it didn't leave a lasting impression, especially considering the price. When I visited on Friday morning around 10:00 am, there was a short line, and they had a three-pastry limit per person. Note that there's only outdoor seating available. Small parking lot - I had to park in the neighborhood next to it. read more

Overall, really good pastries. I liked that they have unique flavors, but. I will say I've had better flakier and buttery croissants. The sausage role was my favorite; it reminded me of an elevated (more flavorful and flakier) Chinese bakery hot dog bun haha. A little expensive, but worth the try (especially now that the lines aren't as long). I came in here on a weekend and there was a wait, but I've heard that if you come a weekday, there's not really a line. When it gets busy, it does get pretty chaotic inside, but the staff is always nice. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of seating inside. Ample seating outside though. read more

My partner and I came around 0845AM on a Sunday morning. They opened at 9 and we were got our pastries by 0915-ish. There is a limit of 3 pastries per person with an exception of two of their pastries (I think more cake/bread like pastries - the hazelnut and one more I can't recall). We got: 2 pistachio cream danishes 1 almond croissant 1 yuzu meringue croiffin 1 mustard sausage roll 1 mushroom bechamel The pistachio cream danish is delicious. The cream itself tastes very much like real pistachio and there's not a hint of artificial flavoring in it. It has such a strong nutty taste. The yuzu meringue croiffin had a great yuzu flavor and great texture. The mustard sausage roll was standard - the sausage tasted like a hot dog and the roll was flaky. The mushroom bechamel had a good amount of mushroom and a good flavor as well. Their coffee looked great too but we walked to the sister company, Kumquat, after since we needed to grab something from there anyways. The staff were nice and quick to serve all customers. I saw them answering questions patiently. There is a small parking lot and ample street parking. The establishment itself is smaller but there are a couple of seats inside and some outdoor seats as well. The space is neat and clean inside. I would love to look more closely at their items on the shelves more but it was tough since we didn't want to hold up the line. It seemed to be more canned seafood and European-based products such as oils. Since there's a 3 pastry limit per person, I definitely will be coming back to try a couple others! read more

If you're a pastry lover, this is a must try spot. Fondry offers both sweet and savory pastries. My favorite one was the mushroom danish. It was absolutely delicious. The pastries I got were all so flaky and buttery! On top of that, their coffee is freshly brewed. I tried their iced americano and cappuccino and both were good. Small note: there is a line but it's totally worth the wait. I will definitely be returning! read more

Get here early or you'll be waiting in line and missing out on the "good stuff"... The first time at Fondry, we arrived at 10:30 am and very little was available. We opted for the French Onion pastries. Other items left were the flattened croissant. I'm not a fan of a croissant that looked like it was sat on and stepped on. Keep in mind, there's only a 3 item per person limit. Our second trip was better and came earlier. Pistachio pastry was delicious. Flakey buttery layered pastry with a blob of pistachio custard was memorable. The other item, pain au swisse, was just okay. It lacked layers and the top flaked off. I was hoping for ample chocolate layer and vanilla custard cream (non). The one I had from Jyan Issac is my standard. You can also obtain Fondry cookies, coffee cakes and mini pies at their sister cafes, Kumquat and Loquat. Citrus corn muffin was good but nothing to rave about. The same with their apple hand pie. Good but not that special. I do need to pay another visit to try their yuzu meringue cruffin as well as their raspberry cream cruffin. Looks solid. read more

Are they truly the best croissants in LA and worth lining up for before opening time? Depends on what you get. Just for the standard butter croissant, I didn't think it was THAT much better than the ones that get sourced from Sugarbloom Bakery, which you can find at so many coffee shops throughout LA, and you don't have to line up for them. Actually, I'd say I prefer Sugarbloom's because theirs was more crunchy and buttery. Truthfully, I think the French Onion Danish and the two croiffins (Framboise and Yuzu) are the ones worth lining up for. They're truly unique and executed very well. All were very crunchy and the filling they used was packed with a lot of flavor without tasting too strong. I thought the Kouign amann was just okay compared to others I've had, mainly because it wasn't very chewy nor crunchy. I'd definitely return and repurchase the three I mentioned. Skip the matcha latte - it's a bit too thick and the amount of ice was filled to near the top of the brim. read more

I am jumping into the hype of Fondry, which is why I am writing this review after finally getting the chance to try some of their pastries. One thing to note is that currently, the line is still long, and each customer is limited to only 3 pasties. I came at 9:15 am on a weekday, and I waited for about 45 minutes. Parking is limited and the place is quite small, so there isn't a lot of seats available. But the design is like any pastry cafes, instagrammable! Anyway, I bought their Fondry exclusives: Framboise Croiffin, Yuzu Meringue Croiffin, and Mushroom Bechamel Danish. I enjoyed the mushroom danish, but unfortunately, the other 2 were not to my liking. However, I was then told afterwards that their croissants are really good, so I will definitely be back to grab more of their other pastries! read more

Food: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 9/10 The pastries here are really good. Honestly, in MY opinion, I still haven't found any bakery that does pastries better than at Republique but this place comes pretty close. Their almond croissants are like the best I've ever had. I'm dying to try their mushroom danish. But it's so nice seeing as a Korean bakery do so well. ALSO. their coffee is Usually I think places either prioritize pastries or coffee, not both. But I really recommend their americanos or capuccinos. They know what they're doing. read more

Good:This place has fresh pastries which include croissants (butter, pistachio, almond, etc), savory pastries like breakfast style egg on top of croissants, ham and cheese croissants, mushroom croissants, etc. Each croissant has multiple layers of crispness and softness together. So I would they they have one of the best croissants in town. Bad: the wait is super long even on Thursday morning at 9:30am! And the price of each croissant is average 9 bucks (pricier than in n out burger lol) so make sure you bring enough money. I don't think i would go back anytime soon since I had to wait for 20mins to buy 5 croissants and a cookie (total spent $~50) but I would highly recommend it if you have never tried this place. read more

3.5 Stars. I arrived at 10:30 am on a Wednesday and they were out of everything except for four types of pastries, so I ordered one of each of the remaining. Sadly, I wasn't able to try any of the croissants they're known for. The brown sugar financier is made with almond flour and brown butter; the texture reminded me of pound cake. The Hazelnut is a cake made with hazelnut flour and topped with candied hazelnuts. The croissant presse is a butter croissant baked flat with caramelized sugar - so the end result is more like a thin palmier cookie than a croissant. Lastly the biscuit has pancetta, cheddar, and jalapeno. Honestly, everything I tried was decent, but not a single item stood out as great. So I'm just not grasping why there was such a craze around Fondry for so long. Like yes, the pastries were fine, but were they so outstanding as to warrant suffering through long lines (during the height of the craze) and making it a point to go early before items run out? I think not. But that's just me. Note: The four pastries came out to $22, pretty standard these days. They no longer have purchase limits on weekdays, but there's still a three item limit on weekends. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

What an experience. Best pastries I've had in So Cal, maybe best pastries anywhere. Classic butter croissant was incredible. Raspberry one was also amazing. Almond croissant was very good. The round bun was nuts. The chocolate one was awesome. I don't remember what the rectangular one was, but it was also good. We also tried the flat croissant and that one wasn't quite as good as the others. But I'd order any of those again. And if the good ones were sold out, I'd get anything from this place. It's reaaaally good. Line out the door but didn't take too long. As we left at 10am, most pastries had been sold out. Glad we came when we did! Around 9:45am on a Thursday. Parking actually worked out for us as well! A place in LA with a parking lot is a rare find. Not a huge parking lot but spots were open for us. We need more places like this around So Cal! Bring one to OC! I wish the best places weren't in LA :( read more

The hours here are soo short that it took me a while to get up here but I'm glad I finally got to try some of their pastries! They have a small parking lot which is really nice for this area but street parking in the morning was not bad either. The shop itself is not that big but does offer some seating inside and outside if you want to enjoy your pastries there. We arrived around 11 so most of the pastries had unfortunately already sold out :( I was really wishing to try one of the savory croissants which had already sold out. They do send some of their pastries to kumquat and Locquat so that's an option for people who can't snag their pastries at fondry. I ended up getting a pistachio cream danish and a kougin aman that they recommended. Both of these were AMAZING. The kougin aman was so flaky and light and wasn't too oily like a lot of them are. The pistachio cream was also super well done and for someone who doesn't like cream, I wanted more of this. There was no artificial flavoring at all. I need to come back earlier in the morning so I can try them all! read more

Absolutely the best croissant in LA! We are the savory type of bread lovers so of course we ordered the baker's breakfast and the mushroom one (I'm so sorry for can't remember the name!) and they are absolutely amazing.

This is definitely now one of my top favorites for croissants. I don't know how they do it, but the croissants are so flakey and perfectly laminated. We got there around 8:50am before they opened and it took around 35 minutes to get the goods. Best bet is probably street parking since there's only 7ish spots in the parking lot. There is a limit of 3 laminated pastries per person. We ended up getting the pistachio danish, kouign amann, apple crumble croissant, almond croissant, yuzu meringue croiffin, and framboise croiffin. It's definitely pricey ranging from $5-$8 per pastry, but no regrets. Service was good, and they also have tables inside and outside to enjoy the pastries fresh, but most people just grab and go. You can ask for the pastries to be warmed up, and you need to tell them if you want a lid for the box. Standouts for me were the pistachio cream danish, the yuzu meringue croiffin, and the apple crumble croissant. The yuzu croiffin was the most unique and loved the fluffy meringue that tasted like marshmallow. I love pistachio desserts and thankfully the pistachio cream hit the mark with the nuttiness and not to sweet. Admittedly I didn't eat the apple crumble croissant until two days later but the croissant was still so flaky with a tasty oat crumble, and the apple filling was moist and perfect for fall. Overall, definitely need to arrive early to ensure the items you want don't sell out but worth a try! read more

Holy moly! Just take my money! Decided to come here since I was somewhat nearby and was in the mood for pastries. This made the perfect Saturday morning cafe date. Parking was easy. I parked on the street but they also had a small parking lot. The bakery is small with a shaded patio area that offers the daintiest pastries. Customers are limited to 3 pastries per person so I only grabbed the Mushroom Béchamel Danish, the Yuzu Meringue Croiffin, and the Pistachio Cream Danish. ALL of them were flaky, buttery, crispy, delicate, fluffy, and unique in their own way. I can't play favorites because they're all delicious. Mushroom Béchamel Danish was savory and cheesy. Pistachio Cream was nutty and toasty. Yuzu Meringue Croiffin was citrusy and marshmallowy. I just can't get over that crispy, crunchy first bite. Just wow! P.S. Kind of glad they limit it to 3 per person because if I bought every single pastry, I'd probably go broke eating them all in one sitting without restraint. read more

Wow, this place is insane! I got there on a Friday morning a little after opening time and there was definitely a line. It did move rather fast, which was nice. Each individual can order up to three items. It helps if you go with friends or family so you can really try out all the delicious pastries. I opted for an almond croissant, the pain suisse, and a ham and Gruyère croissant. Each one was more decadent than the next. Their croissants are definitely top-notch. There was a note outside stating that it takes up to three days to prepare and bake their croissants. You can definitely taste the quality! Three croissants and an Americano cost me around $23, a bit expensive but worth it. There is a parking lot, which has a few spots available, but I did score some parking on the street. Would keep that in mind on a busier day. There is some patio seating available. read more

Great pastries! People consistently line up for Fondry's laminated pastries before opening time. They open at 9am, I got there at 8:50 and there was at least 15 people ahead of me. Currently, they have a temporary limit of 3 pastries per customer to ensure that they can serve as many guests. Tip : Bring a friend to stand in line with you, if you want to buy more than 3 pastries. Some of their croissants are also available at their sister coffee stores: Kumquat Coffee and Loquat Coffee every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Overall, I think they definitely have some of the best laminated pastry that Los Angeles has to offer;however, there are other places in the city that make amazing laminated pastries where the lines are shorter. I definitely will return when the hype slows down and when supply can meet the demand. Tip: CARD ONLY- cashless. read more

Fondry has INSANE hype, so I couldn't wait to go. On a rainy Wednesday morning, there was a 20-minute line outside the door. We tried a variety of things, and were big fans of some items. Unexpectedly, the chocolate chip cookie was a favorite- AMAZING. The ham and cheese croissant and almond croissant were favorite pastries, in addition to the mushroom pastry. The breakfast egg and sausage pastry was unique but satisfying, as was the yuzu meringue croffin. The pain de chocolat was a bit disappointing. I get why there's always a line now. read more

Been on the list for a while now, but it's been tough to try since the hours are between 9am-12pm! But i am sooo happy I finally got to try it! My husband and I came around 11am on a weekday and they were probably already sold out of 60% of the pastries! Every minute counts because after 3 more customers, pastries types were getting sold out. My husband really wanted to try the Yuzu Meringue Croffin, but it was sold out, so we will have to be back to try it! Here's what we got to try: Pain Au Suisse, Kouign Amann, Framboise Croffin, Baker's Breakfast, and Triple Pain Au Chocolat. My personal favorites were the Framboise (raspberry) Croffin, Triple Pain Au Chocolat, and Baker's Breakfast. I must highlight the Baker's Breakfast though because there's a jammy egg in the middle and the combination with the ham, caramelized onions, and scallions are immaculate. Would eat this everyday if I could! I did order a Milk Tea which I thought was ok, I would much rather recommend you to try the Alain Millat juices in the little fridge! I got both the orange and apple juice, they are from France and just taste/hit different. Service is fast and efficient and it's in a cute mini strip mall with about 3 other businesses. Only caveat is that there are only about 6 parking spots in the lot so you may be stuck with street parking. But during my visit some customers would park on the side with hazards on to quickly pick up the pastries. read more
