The atmosphere and location are top notch, but the chocolate croissant is big but mostly air, dry, not buttery and the chocolate is too sweet for a more authentic subtle 'french ' taste. The house coffee is bland, worse than my instant Folger at home. We have been here since the beginning and is surprisingly underwhelmed this time. Even the outdoor table is uneven and rickety, spilling coffee. Where is the manager? The Bonaparte restaurant right across it is excellent though. Maybe the owner is distracted by the rapid expansion around town and inflation , dropping the QA ball on the older store. If anything the flagship store should maintain the exemplary standard.
I usually don't write any reviews but in this case I've was really disappointed with the food and service that I thought I should bring it to the readers attention. I ordered Portobello Mashroom Panini sandwich with salad. The salad was only some aged lotus but the sald dressing was good and the panini bread was half burned and the mashroom was very hard to cut not to mention that the silver wear was very old. The fork teeth was crooked and the knife was an aged butter knife that wouldn't cut the sandwich nor even the lettus.
Mushroom and ham quiche is always good. Tried the tomato basil and was surprised it was almost all cheese and not a lot of egg. Might not have that again. Cappuccinos always have amazing foam, croissants are always fresh. Beautiful location Parking: Some paid lots, but we park on surrounding streets and take the short walk to the pier
The apricot cheese croissant was fantastic. However, they forgot my lavender latte and I ended up waiting a long time for it. When they finally remembered, they got my order mixed up and served me a regular, unflavored latte instead.

Their fruit-filled croissants are absolutely irresistible. Make sure you're hungry when you get one! They also offer a wide variety of other pastries and breakfast items.
Their payment practices are concerning. Employees often find themselves having to reach out to the California Labor Department just to get paid. This is unacceptable!
I love traveling and cappuccinos! And there cappuccinos are some of the best in the world! Chicken and spinach quiche is amazing
Horrible iced coffee and awful services. The chocolate eclair is disgustingNever go back there
