Cafe de Paris — Restaurant in Apple Valley

Pretty solid for a Cafe. Considering how new it is, its about expected that they run out of inventory from time to time. I'm sure they'll get the production for demand correct as they get more exposure. My fiancé and I luckily got there around 10 AM and there was still plenty to go around.

Food: Tasted fresh. The chocolate croissant was light and flaky. I think I'd have to go for the double chocolate next time. The mangonada was ok. I think they could use less tajin. It definitely packs a punch. Maybe half of the amount they're adding might be better. It overwhelmed the mango flavor. The mango mouss and lemon meringue mouss were both exceptional. My fiancé got a baguette for herself. She ate all of it by the time 12 PM rolled around.

Service: nice service in general. I had no problem.

Atmospher: I liked the interior art and everything was kept nice and clean. Definitely for small dates and brief meetings. Perhaps they could add additional seating outdoors. I think that might feel...

Loved the deli style showcase at the front. Easy to order menu. Guys, I'm not big on sweets but I did end up getting a few items to try and they were all delicious. I went on day 2 of opening weekend so it was very busy. My husband and I had the chance to speak to the owner. He is very nice. Def felt like going to my uncle's shop.

Also got the traditional banh mi, that was amazing as well, had that homemade Vietnamese head cheese (also called giò thủ) a long with all the fresh pickled veggies, pate, mayo and soft bread, lightly toasted. Love that stuff. Wish I took pictures of everything but I didn't have time as I was busy stuffing my face. I will def be going again. Just thinking of a day my hubby and I can return and see what else...

Stopped by today for the first time around 12:30. They were out of some items, but after tasting the butter croissant I know why. It was delicious. We also had the chocolate croissant and a blueberry danish. We were delighted by all three. My partner and I agreed that the butter croissant was the best we've had in MN, probably the best we've had in the Midwest. I found the staff to be friendly and considerate. We will certainly be back again. I really want to try the Quiche Lorraine! The only small suggestion I would make, and it isn't a large enough issue for my experience to not be five stars, the line for ordering is a bit confusing. I may have cut in front of a young family completely unintentionally. To...
