Editorial Review for St Honore Bakery – by Annamaria Pardini
In Short
The open, rustic space is awash in natural light and filled with the heady scent of fresh-baked bread. Counters brim with tempting pastries and specialty sandwiches. The chic clientele is perfectly at home clustered around cafe rounds or sharing a large farmhouse table. Choices include buttery croissants with a ribbon of dark chocolate; Catalan paninis filled with prosciutto, Brie and fresh spinach; and simple salads of lettuce with Dijon vinaigrette.

Not worth it. Especially with Ken's so close by. The croissants taste like Costco croissants and the place reeks of fabrication. Some of the cold pastries are decent if you are used to eating "Starbucks - quality" and the atmosphere looks nice visually but if its fresh, quality, authentic pastries you are after, walk the extra few blocks. I have visited France more than once and this place just doesn't cut it. Case closed.

I have been there 2x, once with a friend and once with my husband. I LOVE the Quiche Lorraine. My husband had a spinach/cheese patry filled entree which he said he did not like because it tasted too healthy. So if healthy-tasting suits you, get it. He also had the turkey and cheese croissant and loved it. I also have had their Monsieur ___ (basically, melted ham and cheese). We also really loved the strawberry mille feulle dessert. This place gets crowded around lunch time so you occasionally have to grab a seat if you can. It draws in a mixture of people from young to older, from yuppies to blue collars, etc. It has this energetic vibe as people all around are engaged in ongoing and (seemlingly pleasant) conversations, inside and outside the restaurant. The cashiers are friendly and the food comes out in reasonable time. Try it out!
Pros: Food, dessert, ambience, crowd of people
Cons: limited seating
