Walking in, you feel instantly transported to France—everything from the café’s name to the chef and waitress’s accents, the décor, the French music, and even the little signs on the wall feels authentically French.
The crêpes are outstanding—thin, delicate, and flavorful, one of the best I’ve had outside of France. The croque madame was rich and comforting, with a perfectly fried egg on top.

-Kouign Amann: buttery and flaky, and it had a custard filling that we did not expect. awesome!
this was a great spot to pick up a quick, satisfying lunch. would love to return if we're in...
