No es de mi agrado

Came here once before during pandemic when you couldn’t go inside to order. You had to order from the door. Back again and got to go inside. The owners are so sweet and super nice. They’re originally from San Diego!

We got a chocolate croissant ($3.95), almond chocolate croissant ($4.95), pate chaud, and pate chaud sandwich ($3.95).

The puff pastries here are so good. Very flakey, fluffy, airy, and big.I just wished the chocolate croissant had more consistency in the chocolate chips spread throughout so that you’re not just eating dough. Same thing with pate chaud. The pork meatball is smack in the center so when you eat the edges, it’s all dough until you get to the filling in the center.

I have to say, the banh mi pate chaud was the winner. Exactly like a cold cut banh mi with the pickled carrot, daikon, jalapeños, cucumber, and meats but on a puff pastry. This is made to order so it’s guarantee fresh each time. Yumminess in your mouth!

Just like any boulangerie. You buy and take home. There's just a couple of tiny tables for patrons enjoy baked goods on site.

AMAZING...flakey crust signature bánh pâté chaud. Different layers of flavor with each bite. The staff there are super sweet and nice. Small mom and pop place.

We decided to try the bánh pâté chaud out of curiosity, but it was disappointing. It felt overpriced at $4.50 for its size—it was small and only took a few bites to finish. We felt it wasn’t worth the cost and nothing special. Additionally, the service could have been better; the staff member who took our order didn't seem very friendly. The area itself felt a bit run-down and sketchy, which might explain the early closing hours. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Take your money elsewhere.

We have been coming here for years. We love the cafe su da and pate chaud (not sure how to spell) the service is always great. Looking forward to getting some goodies today and taking to work to share with coworkers!

As soon as I walked in. My eyes lit up. They have Paris Brest!! A french pastry made of choux pastry airy, light, soft in the middle, and a soft layer of crunch the outside. Delicately sweet and rich filling of praline cream. It's been over 10 years since I've had one. Finally, I found a French bakery that makes it. They have a good variety of other French pastry. Here's a list of what I got.

Cream puffs: very light and not too sweet.
Éclairs: same a cream Cream puffs
Mini frut tart: very cute and perfect for 1 person.
Vietnamese ice coffee: excellent flavor. I love espresso, but my husband likes medium roast. This meets us halfway. Not overly sweeten and not too rich. It's just perfect.
Paté chaud: it's the best I've had. I haven't had any good pate chaud in the last 15 years. I could tell they made everything fresh with good quality ingredients. Even my husband enjoyed the pate chaud. I regret only getting 2. I could eat 20 if more.

My husband said, "we're definitely coming back" if we were local. Overall everything was yummy. The highlight of them all are. Pate chaud, vietnamese coffee and Paris brest. If we were local. I would come here daily for their vietnamese coffee and Paté chaud. And of course, for their Paris Brest.

I believe they are the owners. They are very nice. We ordered a good amount of pastries. They asked us where were are going. We told them we are picking up food for the temple. He didn't charge us for the 2 Paté chaud. This speaks loud to me and my husband. They are passionate and generous. We will be supporting them when we come down to visit my sister. We will definitely tell our friends and family about them.
