Cute Café Croissant 2021 is bigger than the sign out front, a gem capable of shining. Kidnap a kid off the street as the waitresses seem to be friendly in a good way with children. The overall service is friendly and quick, a 4 out of 5. This is a neighborhood hangout located just off 17th St off Coral Way. Parking may be limited and hard to find on weekdays. There’s a TV toward the back of the restaurant with soccer or sports games. The French décor allows you to escape the Miami vice, be it 30 or 40 minutes. And just because you have been in Gay Paree, don’t give this place a one-star rating. Breakfast comes with three eggs, and my over-easy eggs came out 1/3 suitable with two overcooked, but the taste with the ham and cheese overcame my notice. The tomatoes and lettuce were fresh, and the bread was crisp. Although looking flat on the plate, the three-egg omelet was loaded with spinach and suitable to the palate. The cappuccino was favorable and worth the price that came with complimentary chilled cold water that tasted filtered. The prices are right for eggs, French toast, baked goods, crepes, or sandwiches. For those in the habit of handing our credit card to waiters when asking for the bill, this is not the place. The bill came with an 18 percent gratuity added to the total. The charge slip came back suggesting 18, 20, or 25% tip above the total bill that added the gratuity and tax with the meal. If you paid no mind, you could wind up paying a 41% tip. I ended up leaving a 22% tip. I respect waiters who advise clients when the tip has been calculated in the bill and come back to check on you during your meal. We are at the tail end of a pandemic recovery where many small places have lost their businesses, and people are in need. Give small establishments a try. Leave a good tip if you can. I will try this place again, possibly for a crepe and sandwich and a take-home croissant. I hope this gem gets its polish. Viva la...
Read moreWe visited Café Croissant and ordered scrambled eggs with salad, an Americano, a cappuccino, and a ham and cheese croissant. The quality of the products was excellent—everything was truly delicious, with the croissant standing out in particular for being served hot and perfectly prepared.
However, there were some aspects that could be improved. When we ordered a second ham and cheese croissant, it was served cold, which diminished the experience compared to the first one. Additionally, when it came time to pay, we noticed that a 20% service charge had already been included, yet the bill still suggested leaving an additional tip of 20% or more. When we asked for clarification, we felt somewhat pressured to leave the additional amount—which we did. In other restaurants in the area, when a service charge is included, it is clearly stated upfront that any additional tip is optional; in this case, that information was not provided.
Furthermore, the service was not particularly courteous, possibly due to the large number of customers at the time.
In summary, Café Croissant offers high-quality food, but certain aspects of the service—such as consistency in food presentation and transparency regarding charges—should be reviewed in order to ensure an experience that matches the excellence of...
Read moreThis French eatery is such a hidden gem! Have no idea how long they have been there but definitely wish I knew about them sooner. My boyfriend and I found Cafe Croissant via Yelp while searching for savory crepes in which they offer three types here. When we entered we were greeted warmly by the girl that works the counter who also served us at our table.
I started with their soup of the day $5 and a croissant since I was just in the mood on a rainy day. I'm so glad I ordered the soup since it was phenomenal! A mixed cream of vegetable soup (though I believe it changes daily)---it was so good I even considered buying some to take home with me! The croissant was okay, better than most places but not the best I've ever had.
Next we ordered our croissants in which we got two to share. I ordered the Le Parisienne $8: ham & swiss cheese with a fried egg while my boyfriend ordered the Le Vegetarien $8 mushrooms, spinach, onions & tomatoes. Both were VERY good but I think next time I come maybe I'll get the vegetarian crepe but add ham since it was so savory I could even eat it for dinner!
I would definitely stop in again when in the area to explore other menu items since I enjoyed this meal...
