Richol French Bakery Cafe on Nostrand near Atlantic

violet

We've been enjoying Richol for a few months; we're excited that they're in the neighborhood and hope that they stay around! We went for lunch today and took a few pictures.

They have great, freshly made pastries (croissants, danish, cookies, scones, muffins, tarts, cakes) along with quiche and sandwiches.

We've had the buttery spinach and (blue) cheese croissants, light spinach quiche, and rich almond and chocolate croissants, along with coffee. It has all been yummy!

We've also had the nice whole wheat croissants, and the (really friendly) folks at Richol gave us samples of what they call French toast (sort've like small slices of sweet bread pudding). It has all been delicious!

Their coffee is good and strong, and they've got freshly baked bread, free wi-fi, comfy chairs... They say they have started serving lunch (pumpkin soup, waffles, panini) recently, which I know we'll try soon.

Please check out Richol - they open at 7am on weekdays and 8am on weekends. They had pies around the holidays but I didn't get a chance to pick one up.
