Get Baked!

Amazing Parisian bakery for the best fresh bagette owned by the sweetest couple (whom I’m so honored to call my friends). Grab a loaf for breakfast or a picnic at one of the nearby wineries and savor every bite of the best bread you’ve ever had.

One of my school mom friends, who just happens to be French, longed for the patisseries she missed from her home town in France, so she opened one herself! Alexandra’s authentic French bakery will transport you to your favorite French village while you sip a fabulous cappuccino and nibble on any of her amazing creations (don’t miss my favorite chocolate bread).

Giant pancakes that are not only the size of dinner plates but the best pancakes I've ever had. Eggs benedict and chicken fried steak are also delish. Make sure you request a cup of coffee while waiting for your table.

It's not on the menu but we love to order the Goomba- it's a pizza topped with spaghetti! Don't knock it till you try it lol. If traveling with kids, you can also request small balls of dough for them to play with at the table.
