Went to the store in Park Slope. Everything looked so delicious. Not so. The cupcakes were very dry with too much icing. The croissant seemed quite stale. The service was harried, unhelpful & generally miserable. For the prices they charge I would expect much more.

I only tried the quiche here and it was terrible. If the quiche is any indication of the rest of the food, I would stay away from this place. The service was bad as well.

I went there with my spouse and got the bread pudding. After much waiting it was served cold and without the raisin sauce. I asked them to warm it up and for some sauce. They took it back and after 10 minutes and a reminder I finally got it back with sauce, but it was microwaved to death. It turned into rubbery yuk. I didn't go there and pay that money for microwaved baked goods. Gross.

I'm a neighborhood person and have been there many times and decided to take the family there for Valentine's Day desserts. Never again. They were out of everything early evening, they've been there for 10 years, they should know to do extra baking for Valentine's Day. They told us we could only have bread pudding or ice cream. We don't like bread pudding so we got ice cream, which we never got there before. For the $8-10 they charge for them, it was too small of a serving, with hardly any butterscotch or fudge sauce on them. On the way in we saw pies and cakes on the other side in their take out window, but yet we were told that we couldn't order those to have at the tables. What kind of nonsense is that? Especially since the 2 darn storefronts are connected to each other! Imagine being told you can't get something at the table but there it is right in the take out display case - that's stupidity. We waited 10 minutes for menus, then after another endless wait and constant reminders we finally got our beverages and then more waiting for the ice cream. Oh, and the order was wrong but I dared not send it back. There was only one waitress there that was on top of things but too bad she wasn't serving my table. Oh, and the ice cream is not home made, I saw it being scooped out of (Bassett) buckets in the front while waiting for a table. One of the kids dropped the spoon so after trying to get another one for a few minutes we gave up and got up ourselves. So in the end it cost $50 for a family of four to have coffee and ice cream, bad service, small portions for the cost. Listen up - we're in a recession so don't insult people with small portions on top of high prices for something like ice cream (that 's not homemade-huge profit margin there so it wouldn't kill your business to throw in an extra scoop for the kids).

Although I like their quiche, I will no longer eat here. Why? They have some of the worst service in Cobble Hill. Every time I've been in, there are about 8 servers milling around, yet none of them seem to work. It takes forever to place an order, get food, or get a check. Very, very bad service. So much so that it ruins the mood. I love their muffins though, so I often pick up a muffin to bring home.

This place is really cute and the desserts are great... the service however, sucks. It took 20 minutes to get my coffee, and another 20 just to order. Then, when we ordered things from the dessert case, it took another 20 minutes! While waiting for our order, we were offered another table's food, another table's bill and then of course, the waitress gave our change to the wrong table. maybe will get a take-out pie next time!

My boyfriend and I were in Cobble Hill today, just for a visit. We were looking for a place to eat and were enticed by the name of this establishment (as my name is also Melissa). The menu looked great and their outdoor garden in the back is very charming. Unfortunately, we were a little pressed for time and it took a while for the waitress to get to us - I actually went and got us our own menu after several minutes went by without one. Our order took a while to be ready. We were getting antsy and finally the waitress came over to ask what our orders were again! I was nervous she had forgotten to put the order in but they came out a few minutes later. The waitress did offer us a glass of lemonade on the house because of the delay it was a very thoughtful gesture and definitely took the edge off of waiting so long. The food was very good - we had the Tuscan sandwich and the Welsh Rarebit (grilled cheese on a delicious butter soaked brioche - yum). I'd go back again if I'm in the neighborhood again but they need to improve service and be a little more attentive!
