Some of the city’s best French pastries are served here. Croissants, baguettes and brioches, both savory and sweet, including its signature chocolate walnut buns. Try the ham-and-Gruyere brioche. All organic, all natural and plenty of butter. But you wouldn’t expect anything less from Carolyn Ferguson, who graduated with top honors at the Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.

A great coffee and pastry cafe. Trying to find a high quality independent coffee shop downtown can be tricky at times. You are surrounded by a Starbucks everywhere you turn - and many of the other coffee shops think that a mocha must consist of 1/4 cup low quality chocolate syrup - yuck.

Belle's coffee is delicious - whether I order a drip, Americano or a mocha. Their food is delicious and... more

i used to work down the hall from this cafe. they have AMAZING cookies, rum balsz, cakes, other goodies... they are a bit pricey and their workers are not always the friendlies however. they also offer french coffee drinks, pelligrino, coke, teas. I used to LOVE their veggie pannini, but they took it off their menu :-(

Oh, their ham and cheese sandwich is pretty good, but their baggett bread... more

Perfection in a bun. Crispy outside soft and fluffy consistently all the way through. Light sweet pear puree sweet almond slivers I dream about this bun.
