  Tried to come here today at ~8:30 am today and they were randomly closed with everyone inside avoiding eye contact with those of us trying to figure out if they were open or not. Signs all said they opened at eight. Maybe call ahead before you foray out into the rain to make sure they're actually open? I saw another couple equally confused as I was walking by the shop after leaving another bakery nearby.

  The pastries are good. The food is quality but nothing to write home about. Where the lose me is the sense that I’m an inconvenience each time I’ve been in.

  Was so optimistic about this place, but they really phoned it in. The old location was stellar, the new one not so much. Ambiance is awful, and even the pastries aren’t that good any more. Service is consistently mediocre. It’s a failure on pretty much every front.

  I think this place is significantly overrated. I order onion melt and it very chewy and the meat was dry. The bread was greasy and the chips was bottom shelf. I like the places in Gilman village but this place is definitely out of norm. The service was fine just like any other self serve place.

  Fantastic French bakery! Definitely worth a stop if you're passing through Issaquah. To start with, the pastry case is loaded with traditional French pastries, but often blended with unique flavors. You absolutely must get a cream puff (the raspberry, or anything fruity, is my favorite). But beware: these aren't your nanas cream puffs. These are hefty, the size of a baseball, with a lovely crunchy topping and plenty of cream. I'd also recommend at least one kind of croissant (I like the savory ham one) and a kouign amann—both super flaky and delicious, especially warmed up. Lastly, the blackberry almond financier is an unexpected favorite. It tastes like the best muffin you've ever had. Definitely grab one of those. In addition to the pastries, they have a cafe serving hot and cold drinks. I tried the house-made hibiscus lemonade and I'd highly recommend it if you like a sweet drink. They also offer an extensive menu of entrees. The reuben (supposedly legendary) is indeed delicious—it's not particularly unique, just a classic executed really well. The fried egg sandwich is also really tasty. The quiche is delicious, but I gotta be honest: it's mostly cheese, so it's pretty dense and heavy. If you're into that, it's delicious, but if you're looking for a more traditional, light quiche, you might wanna skip this one. The French toast is fine but nothing special, similar to what you'd find at any diner. Crumble & Flake is worth going out of your way for! Truly excellent food!
