The cakes, pastries, cookies and croissants made here are all masterpieces. This is a classic Euro-style cafe and bistro. It has long been a favorite of the River Oaks crowd, especially with the ladies who lunch, who enjoy the many creative salads, such as the Avocado and Tomato Caesar. There?s also baguette sandwiches, fluffy breakfast omelets served all day, daily lunch specials and good coffee. The interior is decorated with the work of local artists.

    First visit there, went with my boss. Ordered Turkey croissant with avocado and goat cheese. I eat absolutely nothing else later that day, and by midnight I'm leaking from every orifice. Bad case of food poisoning and I think you all shouldn't gamble like I did.
