“ No matter what day they are open they still get a long line. Everything is good but it's not open long due to the popularity nothing is on the tray for long. Donuts are as big as your head. Get there early so you have a selection! ”
“ We love stopping in at Pavel's. It's always a treat! Baking for 4 days to be open for 1? Yes, you can not miss the Saturday open hours! The cinnamon rolls, the faux nut and then loaves of bread for Sat and Sun night dinners. ”
“ Great pastries! The croissants have a bit of crunchiness to them. I don't live nearby but I'm sure I'd be here every weekend if I did haha. I highly recommend the bear claw and of course the plain croissant. ”
“ This place is amazing! Everything was delicious and so fresh. It was packed and only open on Saturdays, but they say good things come to those who wait. We got a chocolate croissant, cinnamon roll, maple something, chocolate chunk cookie, berry cheese danish, and a peanut butter cookie. The danish was the true star of the show, I usually hate danishes for being too sweet, but the cheese was more of a delicious cream and the pastry was perfectly sweetened. Also recommend the peanut butter cookie. It was pretty much just peanut butter 3 ways and one of the best cookies I've ever had. Note that it's cash only, so get cash back at the grocery store across the street. We will be back! ”
“ We walked a few blocks to Pavel's so we did not have to find parking. When we arrived, there was a line at 9am. While we waited in line, we got some coffee from a little coffee shop across the street. The line moves fairly quickly and when we were able to go inside it was warm and the smell of bread was wonderful. The staff is friendly. A lot of the items were sold out by the time we placed our order. However, we were still able to order the chocolate croissant, danish, sandwiches, cookie, and bread. Then we moved to the cashier and paid in cash. And waited a few minutes for our order. Once we received our order, we couldn't resist and started eating our sandwiches right away. Everything was delicious. When we go back, we will probably arrive earlier and anything we order will be delicious. ”
