(Saturday mornings) - Nutella bread thingy - soooooo delish - Ricotta lemon bread thingy - soooooo good - Breakfast bar is the ultimate bomb! Super nice people... I always love supporting local businesses and FRIENDLY people! Would I go back? YES! (From SJ to Livermore... I will continue to follow them!)

The booth attendants were very helpful with samples and explaining the concept of wild yeast to me. Amidst a busy, lively event area surrounded by competition from at least two others, this bakery booth is selling out of pastries left and right. Tried the Lemon Ricotta bread & breakfast bar, both were delicious, sweet, and filling, with unexpectedly complex flavors. Purchased the Nutella bread and the cinnamon roll because I heard they're "the best" from other customers so I'm excited to try these when I get home.

Everything I tried from the old and new menu is super tasty, especially the Salmon Tartine and Pancakes. Coffee is the best in the bay and the pastries are delicious. Individual Fraisiers are my favorite. The staff is incredible and extremely hardworking. They're always so busy and yet so attentive. Ricardo is the highlight of this place, making my afternoons feel much more like I'm home having a good time with family and friends. His customer service is outstanding and he is so kind to me and my family. He definitely makes (along with the rest of the team) the experience at the cafe one of the best ones regarding hospitality and service.

Mademoiselle Colette is one of those places that leaves you wanting more. I had the chance to try…read moretheir pastries, and I honestly fell in love with them. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, beautifully made, and absolutely delicious. The almond croissant is my favorite so far. Flaky, buttery, and just the right amount of sweetness, and portion size is huge, so fulfilling. There's something special about enjoying a beautifully made pastry with a cup of coffee, and I can already see this becoming one of my favorite spots for a little treat. With so many tempting options, I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying something new. Elegant, delicious, and made with care--definitely a place I'd happily return to and recommend! *****FIVE STARS*****

I've never anything like this and it was so delicious! It wasn't heavy or overly sweet. You can definitely taste the rose and they didn't go cheap with the pistachios either! There were pistachios in each bite. The cake was moist and light/fluffy. Baklavas are to die for here!! I love all the different pastries they had. They had everything from cookies, baklavas, and cakes! It makes such a nice gift! I had them make me a box for my doctor's office which they handpicked all dozen treats. It all looks sooooo good! The staff were so nice and helpful! The guy took the time to explain the pastries and even recommended the popular pastries. They know their menu so well! You can also get a whole cakes here if you wanted! My husband like the latte here as well! Very smooth! Ambiance is nice! Pretty spacious and very nicely maintained especially being its location in middle of their downtown area! Thanks for having such awesome staff and providing amazing customer service! Wish we had this in Vegas!

I found this cafe while looking for places serving halawet el jibn which they call Sweet Cheese…read moreRolls. It's modern, light, and bright inside with professional service. Perhaps a bit on the fancier side, but it's a pleasant place to go for some coffee and a dessert. All of the desserts are beautiful and imaginative spins on classics with a middle eastern twist. Baklava Cheesecake: Such a pretty little packet. This is a bit contradictory, but the cream cheese filling is a little too sweet and dense and the outside should be a little more sweet, perhaps with syrup like on a traditional baklava. I missed that stickiness and moisture on the flaky exterior. But overall, it was fun to eat. Sweet Cheese Rolls: These were pretty good and quite creamy inside. Halawet el jibn is traditionally served with pistachio and rose syrup. These are hard to come by in the Bay and kind of expensive here, but tasty.

The inside has such a pretty aesthetic, with a few inside tables to How to order is with an iPad kiosk, so card payment only. The menu selection is nice and simple, offering matcha and hojicha options. There are also small desserts like cheesecakes, cake rolls whole or slice and tiramisu. This tea shop is nice to go to after work to relax and decompress for a bit. Items my coworker and I ordered- * Hojicha Strawberry Latte - light sweet, soy milk and less ice. Rating 5/5 * Hojicha Cake Roll slice. Rating 5/5 * Matcha Latte - light sweet, oat milk, less ice. Rating 5/5

This cafe specializes in Asian inspired drinks, roll cakes, basque cheesecakes, as well as Japanese puddings. The interior is super Japandi / minimalistic aesthetic. Their desserts have also been officially marked as "not too sweet" by my inlaws so you know it's got that Asian parent stamp of approval! I haven't tried the basque cheesecakes and the puddings, but have been a repeat customer for their roll cakes. So far I've tried their matcha, coffee, and black sesame roll cakes and all are fantastic. Super strong flavors and the chiffon cake isn't too dry. I will say for a single slice the price is quite steep, but it /is/ located in Palo Alto so rent is not cheap I would assume. Also if you wanted an entire roll, you have to order 2 business days in advance.

We began by cutting a pupcake in half for the two lil pups. At first they sniffed their new treat. The littlest pup tasted the whipped cream topping and continued the nibbling. Eventually the pups had eaten some of the cake. Not very enthusiastic. I guess that should have given us humans a hint. Anyway, we cut a human cupcake in half and shared it. The cake was dry and had very little flavor. It was like eating cardboard with frosting. We tried another one. It had lemon flavored frosting on a cupcake that was dry and had no flavor. Like eating cardboard with lemon flavored frosting. Yucky. Next we cut the chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting in half. I'm not sure if it was because the previous two had been so bad, but the chocolate cake was good and the chocolate frosting was good. We should have stopped while we were ahead. But, we were hopeful the next cupcake would be good. So, we cut a fourth cupcake in half and it was as bad as the first two. If I had known how awful the dozen variety pack would be, I would have just ordered four chocolate cupcakes and called it a win. But, I did not know. So, another big corporation, SuzieCakes, has gotten my $$$dollars and in exchange I got one decent chocolate cupcake and three cardboard tasting cupcakes with frosting and four pupcakes that even the lil pups don't like and eight remaining cupcakes that I'm not enthused about trying. I'll not fall for the SuzieCakes con job again. Next time I'll spend my hard earned $$$ at a place that sells decent pastries. There are many many good pastry shops that are a better bang for your buck.

Everything was beautifully presented. The workers were friendly too! Their items were a bit pricey, but worth it for the quality. Their spiral croissants were so much better than Fancy Flavors. It was flaky, buttery, and filled with delicious pistachio cream. This spot is especially great for more traditional flavors. The Anton Hokkaido Milk Crepe Cake wasn't overly sweet and the cream was light and fluffy. It was perfectly up to my standards when it comes to sweetness. I'd definitely come back again even if I'm willing to hurt my wallet because the sweets are just too hard to resist.

I was also trying to adjust the sweetness of the drinks, but was told I can't adjust any sweetness because everything was pre-made, pre-mixed. The Amethyst (blueberry puree, blueberry cloud foam matcha) tasted mostly of milk. Jade (banana flavor) tasted like a banana milk. Chocolate croissant: flakey, rich chocolate chips inside. Microwaved it for about 10 seconds on my own, and it perfectly warmed and melted the chocolate! The vibes are very Mademoiselle Colette meets Alexander's Patisserie. Opens at 10, but the storefront wasn't fully open and ready until about 10:08 AM (side note if you're in a rush in the morning). Will I come back? Not for the matchas. Maybe for the pastries and desserts or regular coffee and the vibes.

There's a few tables and chairs to enjoy your drink and/or pastry and it's shaded. The patio is pet friendly. We ordered the iced filter coffee and it was nice, strong and smooth. We also got their seasonal flavor orange cream latte and it was so delicious. The orange was light in flavor but enough to taste the orange notes and the consistency with the whole milk was decadent. Not too sweet. Definitely will come back when in the area again.

Overall service was great, they were friendly.

Ordered: Hojicha Einspanner (go to), Espresso Tonic (go to), Seasonal Drinks, Pour Over Covour is one of our favorite coffee shops and we always come during the weekends! Highly recommend going early because the parking fills up fast, therefore, the seating in the coffee shop fills up fast as well. Our go-tos are usually an Iced Hojicha Einspanner and a pour over, Iced Americano, or an Espresso Tonic. We've tried their matcha as well, which is also solid! Every single time we have gone (which is usually when they open), there is already a line forming outside the door. Depending on how busy it is, we have waited between 12-18 minutes for our drinks (on the high end), but the drinks are always so yummy! They also have an amazing selection of pastries including an everything croissant, cookies, mochi, pistachio raspberry croissant, spinach and feta croissant, and a mushroom croissant to name a few! Their Hojicha Einspanner is sooo good. The Einspanner is so creamy and their Hojicha is the perfect, balanced amount of nutty flavors. Whenever I have ordered this drink, people are always eyeing to see what it is because the presentation is also that good! The Espresso Tonic is also a perfect summer drink and the shot was pulled perfectly. If you want to get some work done here, I'd highly recommend coming early so you can grab a table and to also bring your headphones because it does get busy and loud. They also have WiFi and one single bathroom. Thanks Covour Coffee!

Extremely. Underwhelming…read more Tried four drinks and a pastry. Cold brew is sour. Chalky matcha (psss, spend more as people can taste it). Diluted lattes. The coffee bean choice is in question here. Seems to be the root of all the bad drinks. Well the toppings are sub par as well. The everything croissant with cream cheese saved this from a ZERO star. The people who go here are not real coffee connoisseurs. Careful with the reviews. For the connoisseurs - the drinks are not refined. It's slapped together. It doesn't have the layering connoisseurs seek. Iykyk. I had so much hope, I mean, how bad can a coffee shop be if it's in a coffee town. The decor and vibe is nice, however.

They have wifi for those who need to work remotely and the food was amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Some of my favorites were the beet salad, the ham and cheese croissant sandwich, the Mediterranean sandwich, the apple mini tarts, and the tomato soup. If you're looking for a deal, they have a lunch special from 11 AM to 4 PM That includes a sandwich, a salad, a small pastry and a drink/coffee for $15. The employees are extremely accommodating and provide amazing service. I am allergic to eggs and lactose intolerant. They can modify almost everything based on dietary restrictions. I also tend to struggle with gluten (Im not celiac) but had no issues with their croissants. They use really fresh ingredients and everything's clearly made day of. I'm a big foodie and I also enjoy cooking a lot and I am generally not easy to please when it comes to food. You truly cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. A must try!!!!
