About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was picking up his usual croissant, he overheard a delivery driver muttering, ‘This place is cursed—every time I deliver here, my coffee gets spilled.’ The next day, when another customer came in for their favorite pain au chocolat, they noticed that the delivery guy had changed shirts—this one dry but with a big wet spot on it. Smiling, the baker quipped, 'Welcome back! Looks like our friend's curse just got upgraded to rainproof.'
2. A regular was admiring his favorite pain au chocolat when a delivery driver exclaimed, 'This place is cursed—every time I deliver here, my car mysteriously runs out of gas!' The regular laughed and shook his head, replying with a smile, ‘Cursed or not, your pastries are worth any inconvenience!’ Just then, another delivery guy arrived, his truck sputtering and nearly dead in the driveway. A neighbor passing by offered him a lift, remarking, “Looks like old Frenchie’s curse has rubbed off on you today.”
3. One day, while a regular was selecting her favorite pain au chocolat, she noticed an unusual announcement over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention please—we’ve run out of everything except for one last éclair. It belongs to our best customer, so if you see anyone leaving with it, kindly remind them that it’s ours!’ Soon enough, a delivery driver approached the counter, holding a suspiciously large box. With a straight face, he said, 'This éclair is for you, ma’am.' The baker shook her head and smiled, replying, 'No, it’s not—it belongs to our best customer!' The driver shrugged and walked away, muttering something about 'ungrateful pastry shops.'
4. A regular was browsing through freshly baked pastries when she spotted something unusual—a tiny pair of old-fashioned spectacles perched on top of a chocolate éclair. Curious, she picked up the éclair and placed it gently on her plate. Just then, a delivery driver walked in, accidentally bumped into her, and knocked over an entire tray of croissants. The glasses tumbled off the éclair and landed perfectly on his nose—comically askew but surprisingly stable.
