Amazing little bakery in the neighborhood next to Lake Merritt! Walkable too so you can grab coffee/pastries and walk by the Lake. The menu itself is pretty standard, simple coffee shop fare. I like that they also have a pretty hefty tea menu; I tried a lychee tea which had a nice, subtle but clear lychee flavor to it. Pastry-wise, this is one of those places where pretty much every single pastry looks delicious! I opted to get the caramelized onion and mushroom croissant, a unique item that I've never seen elsewhere. This may have been one of the best filled croissants I've ever had--the croissant itself was buttery and flaky, and the inside was super umami from the mushroom blend. There was plenty of cheese inside and it didn't overwhelm the mushrooms and the caramelized onion was the perfect flavor to wrap it all together. Lastly, service was super friendly and some smooth classical music was blasting from the inside of the bakery--what a vibe! Great bakery to start your morning at.

Just picked up potentially the best croissant I've ever had. Perfect start to my Friday morning. It was specifically the caramelized onion & mushroom croissant, highly recommend. And the cold brew pairs perfectly with this on this warm morning!!

Forgot what I had, but I liked it enough to make a note to write a review lol. Small coffee shop next to the laundrymatt I think.

Cute place to stop at if you're in a walk in the neighborhood. Good coffee and yummy pastries! I got the almond chocolate croissant! My iced drink did come in a hot Togo cup so that was odd but not a big deal if you don't take forever to drink your cup. If it sits around then the cup getting soft.

I decided to try Haddon Hill Cafe with my sister as a little catch up date and because it was local! Haddon Hill Cafe is a little hidden. I'm not sure I saw an actual signage for it, but there's not much around that block except for the cafe, so you won't miss it! I came on a Friday morning, and it was easy to find parking around the block. Currently, there's only a couple of outdoor seats available, but it seems like generally people take their items to-go, or just sit down for a short while. They do not offer indoor seating yet. They display their pastries right by the window, so if you're in-line, you can think about what to get. When it's your turn, you order right at their door counter, and they'll let you know when your order is ready! My sister ordered a Latte with oat milk and Khachapuri. I ordered their Apricot Scone with a Cafe Au Lait with almond milk, as it seems to be a popular item on Yelp! I'm a total noob when it comes to coffee, but I normally get a latte or cold brew, so the Cafe Au Lait was not my norm! I had to ask the employee what the difference between a Cafe Au Lait and Latte was, and he was kind enough to explain to me. Totally butchered pronouncing Khachapuri too, but he gently corrected me, haha. Nice employees! It took a couple minutes for a table to open up, and thankfully we were the only ones waiting around, so we got first dibs on it! Thankfully it wasn't too cold to sit outside today either. Our order was ready relatively quick. We were pretty excited to give the Khachapuri a try because the only other time we had this was in Seattle and the one we had there had set the bar really high. I think the Khachapuri here could be a little softer on the crust and the egg was a tad overcooked for our liking, but other than that, it was satisfying. My sister had most of it since I tend to avoid dairy. As for my scone, I thought that was pretty good. Mildly sweet, had some apricot pieces here and there, and I liked that this scone wasn't too dry, and not too crumbly either. It was well made! As for the Cafe Au Lait, I figured it just didn't really fit my personal taste, but it's probably good for people who do like Cafe Au Lait! I was just feeling a wee adventurous today and gave it a try. Would I come back? For sure if I'm around the area. I feel like their pastries are pretty worth it! I'd like to give their morning bun a try next time. Thank you for the warm service!

This is a walkup-style coffee shop that's perfect to get your morning cup of joe on your morning walk! Also not far from the lake so if you're doing the circuit it's worth a detour. The service here was fast, their prices are reasonable, and I had no complaints about the order process. It sort of creates a little spot to meet your neighbors because everyone is gathered on the sidewalk waiting for their coffee. Love this place! Go here for a quick coffee stop.

Kat here with another review for y'all! ********* First time checking out this quaint little bakery found it through Yelp. We arrived around 11:30am looking for their Kachapuri but they ran out. Manager said to arrive a little before 10:30 to grab a Kachapuri breakfast. Out of what was left, we tried out the Cheddar and Chive Croissant and the Almond Croissant based on the Yelp reviews that were listed. Both were amazing ! We will definitely be back again to get my hands on their Kachapuri
