This place is a hidden gem! It's a little off the beaten path, tucked away in a back corner, but once you find it, it's a little slice of heaven. There is plenty of nearby parking. The prices were reasonable, and the food was fresh and delicious. The gentleman behind the counter was kind enough to make some suggestions and he did not steer us wrong. I had a cucumber, feta, and avocado sandwich and it was excellent. The avocado was perfectly ripe and he didn't skimp on it! The croissant was soft and fresh and everything balanced out for a delicious meal. There isn't much in the way of ambiance, but it hardly matters when the food is that good. There were three or four small cafe tables inside. It was a little older looking inside, but then so am I! Don't hold it against them. This place was a treat.

Tried a "new to us" restaurant for brunch today... Here and Abroad Bistro and Bakery My husband and I almost couldn't find it, as we're not very familiar with the downtown area; it's tucked away. I ordered the Ham with Brie and raspberry mayo on a buttered croissant with a side of fruit. My husband ordered the Turkey with cheddar, bacon and honey mustard on a croissant with potato chips. He also ordered us some pastries to go: a white chocolate raspberry flaky croissant and an apple cinnamon flaky croissant (which we haven't yet tried), 2 chocolate truffles, and a lemon tart. We sat outside at the only available seat in the shade, and it was just lovely. Our sandwiches were brought out after about 5 minutes or so. My sandwich was so unbelievably delicious...there are just no words to describe! There was plenty of meat, but not too much. The Brie and raspberry mayo just complimented each other so nicely, and the croissant was oh my goodness... perfect! The goodness of the croissant could have stood on its own. Would I buy this again? I could literally eat this every day. My husband has went on for hours how he thought that I would let him taste mine, as we generally share our meals, but was shocked that I didn't offer him one bite. I couldn't bare to share any of it. But he thoroughly enjoyed his sandwich as well. My fruit was disappointing. The fruit cup is the size of a condiment cup, and had a couple of cubes of apple and grapes, and a half of a strawberry. Although fresh, I will order chips next time. The truffles were not my choice. I tasted one, and they were extremely rich, and would satisfy a true chocolate lover. Personally, I'd rather have a pastry, but my husband who loves chocolate enjoyed them. We shared a lemon tart after dinner. It was moist, flavorful, with a creamy balance of sweet lemon curd. Loved it! We haven't yet tried our fruity croissants, but I can already tell that I'm going to love them. I'm so happy to have finally tried this gem. What a fantastic sandwich I had! I will most definitely return and highly recommend.

First time here and had the turkey and Havarti on roll and MDP had chicken salad on roll. It was delicious. We each had fruit as our side, and it was a tasty little fruit salad, just enough. Then we had a moose for dessert and also a cheesecake brownie, which were delicious as well. Will definitely recommend. Everything taste so fresh and was so delicious! I definitely want to go back when it's warmer to sit on the beautiful patio. I've passed this place for years and never have been before. Parking is real easy as there's a public parking lot right next door.

Stopped by on a late Sunday morning and it was a very nice visit. Iced French Vanilla Late was not too sweet and the croissant was soft, airy and flaky. The overall flavor I would compare to Dunkin Donuts. I would visit again. This place seemed to be frequented by many regulars.
