Wow, just wow! We came here after peak time (at like 3pm), and there was still a waiting time.. however, not too long, since they were pretty quick! The food was some of the best I’ve ever had. The menu was amazing, we wanted everything! However, beware that it’s a lot of food :) we saw a lot of people getting two portions each (main and dessert) and barely finishing either. I had the chicken spicy waffle with maple syrup and it melted in my mouth.. absolutely delicious! And when I saw the peanut butter coffee I couldn’t resist. I was expecting it to be a sugar bomb but it was not! It was super good and tasted like coffee, and had some (hazelnuts?) crumbles inside. At the end, even though we barely waited (maybe 20-30mins for food?), the staff apologized and offered us a free beverage?? Amazing experience!

We are Americans from Southern Arizona living in Germany and wanted a taste of home. This place has fantastic dishes! They nailed the vintage modern SoCal vibes with a fun French twist. For the price, the dishes are excellent in quality, flavor and portion size. Their chicken and waffles, hot dog [bun] breakfast plate and the avocado toast were all incredible. I also found their lattes to be pretty perfect as well– especially the dirty chai latte. We were there about 30 minutes after opening on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t really busy for sit down, but by about 10am it was PACKED. The service wasn’t bad, but nothing to write home about either. Timely and efficient but not really friendly or helpful either. Definitely go for the food!

I ordered two meals to try the French toast and some donut sandwich thing. First weird thing I asked if I could have the French toast plain with no toppings and the server said no but they could put it on the side. How does that make sense just don’t give me the toppings I’m not going to eat it. They only allow you to have your eggs fried or hard boiled and I only like my eggs scrambled There is also no turkey options. Both of the meals came and I unfortunately didn’t like any of them which I told the waiter I would still pay of course. You would think I was insulting his great grandma’s recipe. He was hounding me asking why I didn’t like it. Then his other two male coworkers also start hounding me about it as well. I felt extremely uncomfortable especially since I was by myself. It’s not like I was trying to get a free meal. I literally said I would pay for everything and they kept harassing me because I didn’t like the meal. On top of that I don’t speak French so I don’t know what they were saying about me. I wasn’t going to write a review until they started acting crazy towards me for not like the food.

Bonjour, Tout d'abord, la cuisine est excellente, et a su gérer un amont de bon de commande sans trop de difficulté. En revanche le service ... Nous avons attendu 1h30 dans le froid pour pouvoir enfin obtenir une place. Nous sommes rentrée en même temps que d'autres personnes qui était derrière nous dans la file d'attente. Puis nous avons attendu à nouveau une bonne 30 de minute assis a l'intérieur pour prendre la commande. D'autres personnes sont rentrée. (Au total nous étions 3 tables de 2, puis a suivre 2 tables de 2.) Les commandes de nos 5 tables ont été prise en même temps. C'est a dire (pour les 3 tables, 40 minutes après être rentrée, et les 2 tables, 10 minutes). Sachant que nous étions les premiers de la file, et nous avons été servis en dernier, de plus nous avons du demander à passer commande... Sinon nous aurions sûrement attendu 20 minutes de plus. Lors de la prise de commande après du coup 2h d'attente. Nous apprenons qu il n'y a plus que 2 plats de disponible sur 5. Mais également qu il n'y a plus de french toast. Autant vous dire, qu'après 2h d'attentes... Nous étions un peu déçu. Malgré ça, la cuisine a su gérer l'afflux des 5 commandes prises en même temps. Nous avons été servis en 15 minutes. Je suis assez déçu par le service, malgré les serveurs accueillant. C'est dommage que le manque d'organisation, ou un manque de confiance du responsable de salle envers ses employés pour la prise de commande impact si fort la qualité du service vendu. Je pense qu'il faudrait amélioré la qualité de la communication envers vos clients (par exemple, mettre une ardoise pour indiquer ce que vous n'avez plus a la carte à l'extérieur, ce qui empêcherait aux clients de patienter 2h pour au final être déçu.), ou tout simplement prevoir un plus large stock qui vous permets de tenir 12h-17h.. De plus, vous n'avez pas grand place, et vos serveurs ont du mal à servir les clients du au nombre de table / m². (Même les clients galère à s'installer ou à sortir.) Et enfin, je pense qu une meilleure organisation en salle vous permettrait un meilleure rendement, ainsi qu un meilleure avis clients. (Moins d'attentes, un service plus fluide, et une cuisine qui pourrait de ce fait mieux s'organiser) (Prise de commande 10 minutes après l'installation, debarassage + redressage des tables en 10 minutes, information clients) au lieu de 30-40 minutes. J'ai faillit oublié... Mais la musique .. 1 beaucoup trop forte (moi et ma soeur sommes repartir avec un mal de tete) , et pas très Fifou le choix des musiques pour un endroit de brunch. (mais bon ça c'est mon avis personnelle) Pour conclure, c'était délicieux et très copieux, mais beaucoup trop d'attente. Assez déçu. (Un peu chère .. 42,50 pour la qualité ... C'est un peu chère .. sans boisson) Passez de très bonne fête.

The entire vicinity was quiet including other cafes nearby - but when we reached SL @ 1030am already it was full house. Beautiful decor, friendly waiters, quick service, although seatings were extremely tight. The French donut was like a bagel but softer, and came with a generous stack of avocado, cheddar, eggs, salmon. Loved it! Chick N’ Spicy used a regular sort of waffle, but together with the juicy chicken, maple syrup & crunchy pomegranate hit the sweet spot. The husband doesn’t like sugary items but even added morel syrup to his plate (a very good sign). Orders can only be taken once (not possible to add on after). The queue was snaking by the time we left at 1130 possibly for brunch, so do come early

I visited Santa Lyna on the Sunday after experiencing the depressing event the night before at the Stade France. As a Liverpool fan the night before and all that ae with it left a bitter note in my mouth. I needed cheering up. Santa Lyna was the place that picked me and my group back up. Friendly vibrant energetic staff. The food was presented beautifully and tasted just as good. The sweet and savoury mix was a delight in the mouth. The textures were perfect. Finally the coffee was liquid heaven. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are to visit Paris put this venue on your list. Thank you Santa Lyna
