All the products we use are fresh with seasonal ingredients. We have decided to create a grocery corner which give you the opportunity to try some typical French products. Help yourself with a selection of soft drinks, candies and biscuits.

WOW! I'm amazed and excited about this shop! I have been looking for a vegan croissant for some time, and I wished I could find a French cafe but didn't have many hopes. Imagine my surprise when not only did I find this place but found they have multiple vegan options on their menu! I tried their vegan blackberry croissant, and it's the best croissant I have ever tried! I wish I had bought more! Definitely coming back! I want to try the other vegan options!

I'm looking for so long a bakery which made their own fresh bread in Santa Monica. Most of them receive their breads from factories. It's not the same taste when the owner wake up at 4 AM for you You could get a very fresh and tasty product as I experienced at this location. Often busy due to the success of their authentic pastries and breads but waiting a little bit it's worthy. Let's try it and give your opinion in return.

Fantastically simple but extraordinarily delicious sandwiches. All of their offerings are first rate made with quality ingredients and lots of care. Just ordered sandwiches for my work team of 8 and what wasn't inhaled immediately was grabbed and brief-cased for later. Several of my toughest team members raved about the sandwiches and grabbed one for the road.
