Why I love it: Inside Grand America, their macarons and croissants are authentic. I go here for a fancy mom moment, great for a small celebration with a latte.
Bonne Vie Café & Bistro
Why I love it: Cat-themed with bear-shaped desserts and boba. My kids love the cute teddy bear cake and I can pet cats for a small fee while sipping my pineapple smoothie. Super clean and fun.
