I really wanna give them 5 stars for everything !! But,can't because of very limited choices for vegans !! I used to be vegan first 17 years,now a vegetarian for 13 years & we just visited this wonderful Cafe yesterday with my family & a brother in law & their puppy !! They are ( my sis & her husband ) vegans & felt so bad that this cafe got rid of vegan sausages & vegan chocolate croissants that we were expecting to have there !!
But,the staff were very friendly, great atmosphere & THE BEST CROISSANTS/ BAGUETTS I've ever had in the last 10.years ,or 20 years maybe !!! 😋🥐🥖🫖🍵☕️They were so~yummy !!! The croissant was so soft !! Mom had croissant with scramble eggs/ spinach inside ,my sis had a vegan baguette sandwich w/ avocado 🥑( the very last one !! ) ,her husband wanted more protein than carbs ,so I shared that with my sis besides my cinnamon butter crepe ! Which was so- good ,very classy ,sophisticated taste !!! I felt like I was in Paris !! They were super sweet to let us have a table inside with my sister's dog !!! Thank you very much !! I still highly recommend this cafe to everyone as their services & food's quality & being a very dog friendly cafe !!! They do have a vegan baguette sandwich ( if avocados run out ,then it becomes super plain ,but if you love breads / pastries ,still yummy !! ) ! We really hope that they'll have a few more options for vegans ,too !! Like vegan sausages or patties & vegan bean dish ,either soup or salad ,that'll be awesome. Of course their vegan chocolate croissants come back will be great ,too !! We all loved the atmosphere/ services !! My sister & her husband loved their coffee ,though !! They told me it was a very good coffee !! Mom enjoyed her croissant sandwich very, very...
Read moreMy family and I love this place, and usually stop by at least once a week. It's one of the few places where I can order anything off the menu and have never been disappointed! My family is French/Basque and the food reminds me of my grandmother's (Amatxi).
My top recommendations: • Any of the Crepes, traditional paper thin with a buttery texture. They are beautifully delicate and sweet or savory you can't go wrong. I saw some reviews that complained, so I just felt I should throw out there the difference between a crepe and a pancake is there are 0 thickening agent in crepes so unless your layering multiple crepes it's not supposed to be that thick (if it's traditional). • Baguette sandwiches, the baguette is perfection all on its own. Ham & Cheese is my favorite, classic simple, fresh and flavorful. •Croquet Madame, classic and so good on cold days. Also good to note the Monsieur is the same just with no egg & chives, so if you want just the sandwich you can go with that 😊
Also the little store they have inside has the best snacks, I always grab something if I need a snack or I am going on a road trip. Some of the snacks they carry I usually only get to enjoy when we go to visit...
Read moreI'm beyond happy I was in the area to find this French cafe! I'm always looking for quaint cafe vibe, and this was it. Tucked away in an assuming business plaza, I had a salami baguette and an iced lavender latte, sub almond milk, under a patio set up in the front of the building. The salami baguette (thank you other reviews!) was about the size of my forearm, seemed simple but so delicious. I'm salivating a little thinking about it now. The baguette was perfectly crisp with a nice chew and the salami and cornichon a very flavorful combo. I asked about the sweetness level of the latte, which delivered to my surprise just how I prefer, only slightly sweetened. Plenty of parking, service was great, and I'm already planning on bringing my husband to try some of their other items.
Edit: I brought my husband and nephew for lunch the next day! We are in trouble because we have found the best baguette we've had in OC. What else we got: Croque Madame was delicious, the bread was so flaky. Turkey and cheese baguette, the dijon spread elevated this sandwich for me. Salmon baguette looked great, my nephew didn't share...
