L'acajou Bakery And Cafe

Great new bakery, perfect for hiking supplies! (4/5 Green Stars Downsides first: the layout could be improved and the young chap who served me was a bit surly – but neither of these things bothered me (and the chap was fast : . The coffee and pastries were both very good and I’m wavering between 4 and 5 stars, but I’m going to go for 5 stars because prices were reasonable and it’s really one of the best places that I know of within a radius of a 2 or 3 miles – that’s the approx. distance to La Farine or Timeless Coffee ; And speaking of La Farine, I think my plain croissant from L’acajou was every bit as good as theirs. (Perhaps Andrew C. visited on an off-day. Their cookies were pretty good, but the standouts for me were the cheddar chipotle biscuit and the banana bread – both very memorable. Also – organic, fair-trade coffee for around $2? Yes please! I’m also giving them 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: •Nomadic Coffee: All of the coffee is organic, most is fair trade certified, and some is even Smithsonian bird-friendly (that’s pretty much the highest sustainability standard for coffee . Nomadic seem like a good bunch. •Waste minimization at L’acajou was pretty good. I had my own cup but forgot to notice if there was a cup discount. •Decent selection of vegetarian options, and a vegan salad. •They do seem to use organic quinoa and greens for some of their veggie options.

This place is amazing! The breakfast sandwiches and the almond croissant are among the best I have ever had. It's truly gobsmacking that this place doesn't have a line out the door. Get to this spot and enjoy it while it lasts. Soooo good!

Just stop by lucky and I felt home...great space with awesome food

The cheesecake was incredible, I regretted sharing it because it was so delicious.

I absolutely love the Pesto chicken sandwich. It is so delicious, I could eat it every day.
