Baguette Cafe — Restaurant in Henderson

European cafe excellence in the neighborhood. It's a step-up order counter but still very personable; we were immediately greeted with a genuinely friendly welcome. I inquired & was describe every enticing item in the display case. I immediately cemented my choice: the Garden Quiche. I did appreciate when she explained she’d need a minute to brew a fresh pot of coffee—a small effort that makes a huge difference in the final product. The food proved to be what sets my review so high. The Garden Quiche was a cloud of perfection—incredibly fluffy and veggie-packed (I could go on & on & on describing how wonderful it was!!!). It was served alongside a large, simple, yet wonderfully fresh side salad of greens, tomato & onion, elevated by a tasty dressing served on the side. My guest chose the ham croissant, which featured nice slices of high-quality ham & noticeable artisan cheese, also accompanied by the signature fresh side salad. They chose the matcha latte, & had a choice of milk or a dairy free options. Both of our brunch entrees were deeply satisfying, but I couldn't leave without something sweet. The Chocolate Twist pastry... yum. The indoor area here casual & comfortable with soothing background music, while the large outdoor patio offers the perfect mix of sun & shade spots. Arriving right around 11:00 am. was perfect to beat the lunch crowd & the quickly filling tables confirmed this must be a true neighborhood favorite. With an extensive menu & such delicious food, it's easy to see why. As someone who has visited Parisian and many other Northern and southern, European country bakeries & cafes many times, I can confidently say this place rates right up on top as a comparison. It’s an authentic taste of a European cafe, delivered w/ exceptional...

Updated Feb of 2025: I hadn't been in in a while, and something feels so off about this place since the last time I was here. This place used to be a day-maker, always warm and inviting, but my latest visit was the opposite. I ordered food (at 2:53pm) and was told I couldn't get breakfast items at this hour- no problem, I ordered something else from the lunch menu, but asked for future reference when breakfast stopped being served so I wouldn't make the same mistake again and was told 2:55 pm... so that felt kind of icky already. Then I asked for water, and was given a plastic cup- everyone who came in both before and after me was given a proper glass. Nothing says you're not wanted here quite like a wasteful to-go cup you neither asked for nor wanted. I don't know what happened since the last time I was in, but this is likely my last visit. Still 3 stars for the many times in the past I've had good experiences here, but today was a 1 star day for sure. Bummer.

Original review from 2023: This place is such a treasure. The staff here are so lovely, the kind of pleasant day-improving service that is so hard to come by anymore. The food is always so fresh, never so much as a wilted piece of lettuce. I get the feeling that everyone here cares about this place, walking in feels instantly like a little weight has been lifted. Definitely recommend, especially if you're having a down day, stop by and see if this place doesn't turn it around a little. Personal favorites are the chicken and greens salad and...

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, great service. Also, amazing coffee. You should go here instead of a coffee chain, it's better prices for far superior coffee. Every specialty latte is great, providing wonderful flavor with a variety that can suite the tastes of anyone, from sweet to toasty to nutty to floral. Don't discount the normal lattes either, because sometimes simplicity is best. None of the lattes are too sweet, though you can certainly ask for it to be as sweet or as less sweet as you want. The staff are incredibly friendly and recognize regulars, and always make everything to perfection. The sandwiches are amazing and if you have the option to have roasted potatoes as a side, go for it, though the soups are also wonderful especially on a hot day. The croissant pastries are perfectly flakey, and the tarts are made with love. There are also wall outlets on one side of the restaurant if you want to come here and do work on your laptop or charge your phone. All around, my favorite restaurant in the area, my favorite place to get coffee, and a place deserving of 5 stars in every way. The only thing that makes me sad is closing at 4, but it is a...
