I must say when I first went to Masse's I liked it, as the pastry chef iskind, talented, and the reason we went. But his wife is really rude and pushy, making the experience far from pleasant. . I went to sit at the only large table (it seats four) since we had four people, when I was told by his wife that I had to leave that table, and take a seat at a smaller table as she was expecting a couple who wanted to look at wedding cakes. No doubt that's big money for them at 6 or so dollars a slice. After moving with my husband, I noticed that no couple ever came, and my children were pushed aside as another couple sitting looking at wedding pictures took up an entire table with their notebook of pictures. Clearly if his wife is more interested in the business side, she should set up a specific table, and put a big sign on it "RESERVED." My husband may want to come back, but it's difficult as we have easily spent 30 dollars in one sitting, and then to be treated this way......
Pros: some wonderful pastries, beautifully done
Cons: Often no seating, and the wife of the pastry chef/owner is often rude

My husband and I spent five years in Zurich, Swizerland and finally discovered a place where deserts are made just like in the cafes of Zurich. The pastry chef Paul, worked in Zurich, so it is no surprise. I was really surprised at the negative reviews regarding service. The service has always been good, and the staff very nice so I personally don't know what that was about. Anyways, it's a must for anyone who wants a delicious cappucino and tart!
