They lived the experience
★★★★★
« We had a wonderful time at this pastry tasting! Started off with our choice of a drink, the lattes we got were absolutely delicious with house made syrups. The pastries themselves were also wonderful and a good assortment of sweet and savory. Our host was eager to share the history of the dishes and the relevance to Nice culture. She answered all our questions and made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole thing. Would recommend! »
