What do you know, there was no line at noon time! For the 1 1/2 hours we were there, there was no line ever, so we took advantage of the situation and rested our feet!

They?ve got the best chocolate croissants there.
No line?
Did you go on a weekend, that place gets jammed.
I usually wait as well, no fan of the Corner Bakery which seldom gets busy.</blockquote>
They moved to a new location that is not as convenient. I used to have to buy something when I'm in South Coast plaza but not anymore. The Corner Bakery in Irvine is always busy because of the UCI students.</blockquote>
Sorry, I mean?t the Corner bakery at South Coast Plaza adjacent to the Macy?s Men store.
Your aunt must be Asian. She completely falls into the shopper demographic who like French Onion at Vie De France and Chanel.
Where did Vie De France move to?
Aren?t they on the first floor next to the Armani store.</blockquote>
Vie De France is now outside Saks. I was there Friday, but still...
And while my high maintenance aunt was at Chanel in Bloomingdale's, they told her there's a special. (Imagine a special deal at Chanel!!) Each $250 you spend, you get $50 gift card. That's like 20% off!</blockquote>
Your aunt must be Asian. French Onion at VDF, Mimi Cafe and Chanel are the indicators of an Asian shopper. Many often mistaken Dooney and Burke and Coach. Both are popular frugal Asian handbags. Vie De France is not by Coach. Allison is right it is outside of Saks. Mr. GQ Magnet, Vie De France has relocated to its location for almost 2 years. It is obviously that you haven't been updating your Armani attire. Have you been hanging around by Sears for the last two years?</blockquote>
(Looks in mirror, looks at pic of aunt)
No, not Asian.
Just a proud brunette.
BTW, mom = low maintenanace = Mimi's
aunt = high maintenance = VDF, Charlie Palmer, Chanel, LV, Gucci, Chole, .... :cheese:
