So I decided to check it out and handle my post-flight evening hunger. The house in which they have the bakery is quaint and adorable - the highlight of the bakery is definitely the seating arrangements in the open air patio which as demand strives, spreads to the pavement. The place just relaxes you and even though it's not empty, you are given a lot of space as the tables outdoors are well distanced. I tried their colonial cheese sandwich which is sooooo good - the balance of cheese in the fresh flatbread with sesame seeds is really a wonderful surprise. They have an in-house bakery and a lot more options on quite an elaborate menu....there were quite a few of the tables full with people drinking coffee,cold beers, clericots and just relaxing. Service is attentive but on the slower side yet you are so reaxed...you can simply sit there later afternoons and enjoy your coffee or drink and just get lost in the leafy shade that surrounds you.
