Cafe Le Fleurs — Restaurant in Happy Valley

Cafe de Fleur is a bit of a paradox—a place where the ambiance is so perfectly executed it feels like you've stepped into a French daydream, yet the service experience can briefly jolt you back to reality.

Let's start with the undeniable highlight: the space is stunning. The large glass windows flood the cafe with beautiful, soft natural light, making it an ideal spot for a quiet morning of reading or a casual meeting. The aesthetic is thoughtfully designed and truly lives up to its name.

The drinks and pastries we tried were largely a hit. The Signature Crème Brûlée Iced Latte is as inventive and delicious as it sounds—a decadent treat that lives up to the hype. The banana pudding was creamy and classic, and the cappuccino was expertly made. The pastries themselves are clearly high-quality. However, a notable drawback is the lack of an oven to warm them. A buttery croissant or a flaky pain au chocolate truly sings when served warm, and that missing element was felt.

Our main point of friction was with the service. The cashier seemed noticeably rushed during our order, which came across as slightly curt. It wasn't egregious, but in a cafe that otherwise cultivates such a serene and beautiful atmosphere, the contrast was noticeable.

A small suggestion for the outdoor seating: a few more umbrellas would be a welcome addition for sunny days, transforming the already lovely patio into a perfect haven.

In summary, Cafe de Fleur has the foundations of a 5-star establishment—truly exceptional drinks and an unbeatable ambiance. With a little more attention to the service flow and a solution for warming pastries, it could easily become a flawless local treasure. We'll be back, hoping our next visit is a...

Coffee was fantastic. Creme brulee latte $8 very rich more like a milkshake than coffee.

Awkward set up. It took a long time to be rung up, only one cashier and long line. Someone wanted to pay with gift card and split it with another person paying card, this blew cashiers mind couldn't figure it out after multiple times. Finally she gave up, the person just put it all on debit and supposedly issues with gift card. Totally sold out of variety pastries (the crosaints looked old, dried out and overcooked super dark brown) which is fine but petite la Provence and elka bees always have something even if later in the day/close to closing. It would be nice if they had something to eat with extra sweet drink. Chairs outside look cute but cheap and uncomfortable. That is my biggest complaint, it's a nice patio you have to wait awhile for drinks to be maid it would be nice if chairs were for lounging vs. Perching. Patio furniture needs an upgrade. They should have a pergalo too with sound system. I was listening for drink order I never heard anything so finally went inside and sure enough as I was walking in drinks were being placed on counter, took about 20 minutes. It's okay but one barista and one cashier is not enough. I'm assuming poor management structure it was not their fault they should have a runner for drinks and a back up person to help where needed. I'm sure they felt overwhelmed by the crowd of people. Will try again and hope for less chaos. Drink was above average to excellent, go stumptown and well executed thank you barista. My advice only go for coffee if you have 20-30...

this is not a coffee shop. This is a high-stakes fashion show disguised as a place that serves lattes. The second you walk in, you’re hit with the overwhelming scent of designer perfume, expensive strollers, and silent competition. Picture moms in full runway glam, dads looking like they’d rather be anywhere else, and strollers so fancy they probably have WiFi and seat warmers. Meanwhile, if you’re wearing something from Target, congratulations—you’ve just been demoted to second-class citizen.

Every few minutes, someone is aggressively posing for a mirror selfie, treating the café like their personal Paris Fashion Week press stop. If you accidentally walk into their shot, prepare for immediate exile. It’s like an exclusive club, but instead of bottle service, they serve cappuccinos at a 300% markup.

Now, let’s talk about the actual coffee—which, apparently, is not the main attraction here. Yeah, it’s fine. It’s coffee. It tastes like coffee. If you blindfolded me and gave me this versus literally any other coffee, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. But sure, let’s all pretend it’s some rare elixir hand-brewed by monks in the Alps.

And the pastries? If you come here hungry, I hope you enjoy the taste of air and regret. The “pastry selection” is basically a museum exhibit of sadness. There were like three lonely croissants sitting in the case, one of which looked like it had been on display since the Cold War. If you want an actual meal, I suggest bringing your own snacks like you’re sneaking food into a...
