LeirdaApril 17, 2014Have the decently sized, delicious Croque Madame and a double latte, drop the buck 25 out of $15 in the tip jar, and grab the cinzano table outside. You wont regret it.
All their pastries are delicious. I Ted to come back to the Nutella croissant and chocolate dipped croissant.
Oren DobronskyOctober 28, 2014All pastries are great. I love the croason with turkey, cheese and pesto sauce
Mona DAugust 21, 2016Cute little cafe with French pastries and crêpes. Its salmon filled crepe is especially delicious.
Rafael QMay 5, 2011Everything is EXCELLENT! Try the Millennium Salad with real "Buffalo" Mozzarella. FREE WIFI. Real French people. Trais Bon!
- A nice alternative to running into Starbucks, Pete's or even Philz. Can't go wrong with the pastries, sweet or savory.
Abhinav MouliMay 13, 2018Great for breakfast and brunch. The crepes and avocado toast are nicely done.
Amazing spinach quiche and super fresh mixed green salads. Love the champagne dressing, too!
Brian BulkowskiFebruary 21, 2015Authentically french. Coffee, coissants, pannini, small cafe tables.- If you're near, skip Peets and Hobees and get yummy espresso and the best pastries in town. Fast wifi too.
Amazing crêpes + free WiFi. Nabe fave for over 10 yrs. Victor is the best!
Diane ChangJanuary 3, 2014Everything we tried was great. However, found the chocolate mousse way too sweet.
Pastries are heavenly, but get your coffee from peets around the corner. Much better.
- French music.. Try the cappuccino, it's is sooo good!
love their breakfast sandwich (croissant) and chocolate croissant
Rachel MurrayJanuary 5, 2011A slice of perfect heaven on earth. It's all good, but Chai latte is magical.
Great Cafe place, great service... Too bad they all Barca fan! ...lol
Yummy galettes, pan du chocolate and good lattes. Free wifi. Still trying to drum up enough courage to order in French.
Breakfast sandwich is very good. 2 eggs on freshly made croissant or baguette.
The lemon cookies are a perfect blend of sweet, tart, and chocolate.
- The coffee beans can be so much better... PLEASE...
try the Affligem Blond Belgian ale. $3.50 but light and refreshing

"Beautiful space. Expensive as expected. But I can always count on them for a single origin recent roast from Ethiopia. Pastries are excellent. Lovely patio on the corner of University and High."
