Cafe Breizh — Restaurant in Summerlin South

Had a Croque Monsieur and nothing else, that is what I will be basing my review on. Greasy, sloppy, massive. Words not typically associated with French cuisine by fit the description of this dish perfectly. All this by design. Have you ever had a moment when you suddenly remember a word/phrase you've heard before but can't remember what that word/phrase even means? That happened to me, the phrase being Croque Monsieur. During my lunch break, decided to go on a quest for what I learned to be a sandwich. It's origin of no matter to me. That is how I ended up at Cafe Briezh, the only French café within my vicinity that still had their oven in operation (it was 2:30pm). The wait was short, facilities pleasant, and staff friendly. After I had received my sandwich, immediately, through the bag and box I could smell the Béchamel sauce. Pungent, heavy, and a little stinky (it was fine). A smell I would find myself getting used to as it stuck to the interior of my car for several days after. Cut to my work breakroom. All eyes on me and my mystery dish. Although it wasn't much of a mystery as I had told everyone before hand that I was going to come back with a Croque Monsieur, dead or alive. I sat and opened the packaging. Imagine a physical wave of Béchamel sauce permeating from the sandwich. I don't have to imagine. Rather than feast I strategize. A sandwich so massive, so floppy. There was no way I was eating it in a conventional manner. I looked for silverware, no such tools existed at my work. Silverware would have been great, it really would have. I resigned to picking it up with my right hand, relegating it to slop duty. My first bite was delicious, definitely heavy on the Béchamel sauce, light on everything else. Second bite the same. Third Bite the same. I set it down for fear of overly greasy hands. In hindsight I could have held it the whole time, but I don't have that kind of mental fortitude. I need breaks, its a very human need. By this point I'm starting to feel over-encumbered. Motivated by 5 minutes left on my lunch break, the sunk cost fallacy, and the burning desire to not have leftovers, I finish it. Trust me those last bites were a struggle. More Béchamel than bread. I conquered it in the end, but did I win? My future self (past at point of writing) would vehemently say no. The rest of my day was spent in a malaise. The sort of malaise where you just feel sorry for yourself. Fortunately, the day, as all days do, ended. However my memory of that Croque Monsieur has persisted.

Overall the sandwich was delightful. The Croque Monsieur, or as I like to call it, the Croque Monsteur was a bit heavy on the...

Very friendly staff and owner, nice atmosphere, food is nice; could use some improvements. One of a few french cafes in town; I have two others that I frequent and decided to try here as it's close. I've been a few times ordering different items each time. The cafe has nice atmosphere and layout of pastries and items behind glass cade to entice. Staff are very friendly, just need a bit more attention to detail (eg, missed items or mistakes when I've ordered), trouble balancing attention to customers in store vs called in orders). I've had the pastries, which were pretty good, however flavor is not as mouthwatering as I'm used to for the same items ( I will continue to work my way through the menu to try different items). I love crepes, have different cafes that I try in my frequent travels and a couple local. I chose a savory one recently, the Galettes, the maker had some challenges with the one made (holes from uneven layer) and the filling was somewhat dry and lacked flavor ( small cup of precooked mushrooms spread on, 3 pats of goat cheese placed on top, meat placed on top and then folded, not melted together or any other prep). Nice selection of tea, however the only honey available is for an extra fee for a small jar of specialty honey; nice if there was an option for regular honey as a standard item, the specialty ones as an option. I do like the cafe and hope that it continues to work on improving flavor on some food items, staff attention, and options offered for customers. I will continue to come and try different...

Marvelous! Delicious! One of the best French bakeries in town along with Baguette Cafe! Review is for the desserts/bakery only. It’s pretty chaotic in there so would advise to come before 9am. The staff was pretty friendly walking in. For what they are facing (chaotic cramp entrance with confused people) they handle it well. We got 5 baked goods for about $22. That’s not bad at all.

We got: Chocolate chip cookie ( ok but have had better, doughy and flat isn’t my style) brioche (so fluffy and buttery, but not overwhelming, it was delicious) cheesecake flan (fluffy and just the right consistency- between flan and cheesecake of course) almond croissant (not too flaky and just the right amount of moist, delightful) Nutella macaron (the best macaron I’ve ever had, and I tend to not like many. The right amount of crunch and sweetness with the right dose of flavor)

They sell the macarons for 12 (dozen) at $35.

Recommend: brioche, Nutella, cheesecake flan 10/10

Will be back to try the other desserts and possibly breakfast.

Although we didn’t eat here (limited seating inside and tables super close to each other), we sat in the patio area. Luckily I think most people didn’t want to sit there since the sun was out providing no shade. The weather wasn’t too hot so it was bearable.

People with strollers, might be hard to bring it in if you plan to...
