Darren KMarch 13, 2016Spicy mocha and spicy hot chocolate. Both super good! The crepes are amazing as well try Maxine.
Small place but Delicious and flavory crepes, loved the salad and the waiter treated us ridiculously well... Will be our fav French place from now on.
Remi TrangApril 2, 2014The spiciest spicy mocha in Palo Alto! Using their own blend of cayenne pepper, cinnamon and various spices. Guaranteed to warm you up!

Eden EssJanuary 10, 2019They have a wide variety of savory and sweet crepes. The side of Brie with a croissant is really good.
LisaApril 5, 2015Small place but they serve good food! Ordered the poulet crepe and the creme fraiche is really tasty!
Grab a seat outside and enjoy the serenity of the only place in Palo Alto where you can't overhear VC pitches.
Lani CortesMarch 1, 2010I had brunch here on a beautiful Sunday morning. The place is small and cozy and the service was pleasant. The smoked salmon crepe with creme fraiche and capers was amazing. Read more
Lance WeisserMay 13, 2013The Afternoon delight is just that! They made it just like the picture too!
They've expanded! Now there's more room so less of a wait on busy Sundays!
the brie apple walnut is awesome too. get some honey on it, if you're feeling adventurous. overall, great place to relax on a weekend morning!
Make sure to choose buckwheat flour! Sometimes they run out though.
Poulet à la crème is very delicious. I always ask that it's extra creamy! Mmm!
On a warm evening try getting a sidewalk table and enjoy the sparkly lights from the awning
