The consistency is just right, not goopy and not soupy. The crust is just right, not too hard and not too soft, and tastes fresh. Highly recommend.

The chocolate (dark, not white) thing I can't remember the name of (croissant-like pastry) was quite good, with a strong chocolate layer on the bottom. The cheese (gruyere) roll was about the worst thing of its type I've ever had. It was ordinary wonderbread-type pastry with a thin coating of cheese stuff on the top that didn't even have much cheese flavor eaten by itself. I pitched it after a few bites. What do people think of this place? Tue Jan 23 15:02:27 -0800 2007 1913690 10724 Mick Ruthven 2 2219292 They are much better at sweet pastry than savory pastry. My favorite thing is the fruit tart; excellent custard and crust. For cheese rolls in Berkeley, I prefer Cheeseboard and Acme.

Their cupcakes can be amongst the best, although I've had a few that were unusually dry for them. Their chocolate croissant is probably one of the best in the East Bay. Their bread products are generally good, but not exceptional. Other sweets I've had there have ranged from ok to very very good. Yesterday I was tempted to get a ham/cheese pastry (flaky) but decided not to. Tue Jan 23 18:12:08 -0800 2007 1913690 13471 lmnopm
