"Spacious and comfortable cafe. I stayed for just under 3 hours to read my book and ordered two drinks (Caffè latte and an Earl Grey tea). I'd recommend coming early as this cafe does get quite busy after 12."

"Pure robbery: they decreased the size of soups which has become so small, while increasing the price and making you PAY for the bread that used to be in the menu. And the wait is long. This is the LAST time I ever set one foot in a Tartine bakery. There is enough competition here to boycott this one."

"This establishment is nice and I love the fresh bread. I had the raspberry lemon tart and my taste buds were
Pleased. It is spacious and clean and a great place to get some work done. My 3 stars is due to service...how dry and bland they were, I'm from New York and Korea has been a breathe of fresh air when it come to customer service so If i say it was dry..."
