It's a very refined (bordering on pretentious) bakery, but the desserts are exceptional, with excellent cheesecake, and decadent crêpe cakes and eclairs to give this bakery its own flair. If sweets aren't your style either, then you can certainly try the flavorful salads and sandwiches, of which there are many choices.
