From the moment you step through the doors, the scent of buttery croissants and fresh espresso dances in the air like Edith Piaf on a breeze. With its bistro chairs and cases filled with golden, flaky delights, this authentic French bakery and café invites you to slow down, sip and savor life the Parisian way — one bite at a time.

While the quiches, crêpes and fresh-baked sandwiches are magnifique, it’s the pâtisserie case that steals the show. Treat yourself to a pistachio and almond cherry tart, delicately layered and perfect for any party size (or just for you). Indulge in the signature C’est La Vie dessert, where hazelnut mousse meets chocolate brownie in a love story topped with milk chocolate mousse or keep it classic with a flaky chocolate croissant, a rich pistachio cake or even a coconut rocher that is sensationally sweet. Because here, every day is a good day for a pastry.
