Patisserie Florentine - Closter

A few years ago we stopped searching for a birthday cake. It was close to the closing time. The owner had something on his back and we had a wonderful time. It was Friday, day of bread. We took home. The breads and pastries are world class here. Since that day I have been driving from Central Jersey a Friday a month to pick up some goodies.

The French toast is not so sweet, so I like it. It takes little time, but it is worthy. Thanks for the hospitality.

The menu looked great. I wanted to check coffee and maybe the pastries. Service is terrible. The waiter was a lot and the place was practically empty. Wait for coffee at least 10 minutes. Then, after we beat the waitress, we waited another 5 minutes that didn't speak English at all. There is so much potential here! Hopefully the service and food improves.

It is a good place for brunch, but prepare to drive your own order, otherwise you will hang left! We went to brunch the weekend morning, it was quite empty restaurant. The menu has interesting elements, but the lunch items were not available for brunch, although in the menu it was written as lunch / brunch. Anyway, I ordered the Croissant money as my alternative. II liked the court very much. Didn?t gravlax is a kind of salmon, so was surprised by this. The Mozzarella cheese was thrilled. The eggs, the green and the bread have worked together. In our Din we experienced a comic service from the server. A pair of coffee and water ordered at another table, which they did not get for 10 minutes. Finally, when she did, it was a different table! So they left. The people sitting next to us waited for 10 minutes to pick up their order. So make sure you get someone's attention or you could be stuck there for a while :P

Food was good quality, fresh, and presented very nicely. However, service was slow. Twice, when we ordered something, our waiter would leave for 5-10 minutes and come back and say that it was unavailable. Seating is also very limited and cramped.
