This is a cute cafe with a surprisingly big menu, including lots of pastries and sweets, as well as salads, sandwiches, omelettes, and crepes. There's a lot of indoor seating, but it is busy - the wait can be really bad! I did not care for my croissant (looks great, but the dough was stiff). The French macarons are okay - the flavors aren't super strong in taste, and they are denser than a typical macaron. My fiancé liked the tiramisu, and his parents enjoyed the carrot cake.
