Cannelle

I came in for the first time today and was not disappointed! The girl that helped us at the counter was so nice and patient, explaining all the desserts and had to repeat some a few times because I was a little overwhelmed. We ordered the pistachio macaron with raspberry and white chocolate, the strawberry shortcake, and the mini mango macaron. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back regularly for more. My sister also got a jasmine tea which she loved, but my cortado was terrible. The shot was significantly over-extracted, leaving it burnt and bitter. I asked for another one, and they quickly remade it, it was better but still not enjoyable, so I don’t recommend the espresso drinks. The shop is gorgeous and the perfect place to relax, do homework, or have a business meeting.

During my business trip, I visited this café for a breakfast one morning. The inside was nice and bright with lots of large windows on a corner lot. Many table seating, especially for a bakery café. They had so many delectable looking desserts, looking bright and beautiful, all neatly lined up in a long glass showcase! You have no idea how difficult it was for me to just choose one… I ordered a pistachio Paris Brest and a Hazelnut Coffee. Everything was brought to the table of my choice by a staff. Pistachio Paris Brest had strawberry compote on the bottom, which was a surprise. It was creamy and quite rich, but didn’t feel heavy. Then, I found a huge strawberry in the middle of the tower of cream! Wow! How creative, I really liked the fact that it was not just cream in the middle. It would’ve been way too much cream if there was not for the huge, fresh, juicy strawberry in the middle. I did have some real food too. I had Jambon Gruyere on a croissant. It was a nice big size, buttery and flakey, just the way I like it. I really enjoyed the sandwich. It was very filling, I was completely full! The staffs here were friendly, professional and polite. Welcoming and relaxing. I wish if I was able to visit them again, but I just didn’t have time. Next time I am in Detroit, I would like to visit them again.

The best pastries and latte's in town!
