Kind of similar to the cheeseboard, but when you walk in and see the little cabinet with the fruit tarts in it, something tells you that this is very special in its own way. The variety is incredible. Not just traditional French things as the name implies, but also very American at the same time with favorites of mine like scones, artisan bread, cookies and cakes. I can easily imagine that you could have a different item for a month, if not 5 to 6 weeks. Really cute outdoor seating as well if you enjoy this sunshine and people watching. This really is a lovely part of town if you have a free afternoon.

It is a 7 min walk from the comic book store to this sweet store. I ate a mini red velvet cupcake and a seasonal pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Both were not overly sweet or moist. Staff was friendly and patient while I took my time deciding what I wanted. Nice clean store too. Parking in downtown Oakland, ha ha, if you are lucky.
