Its located near Trader Joe's in Carmel Mountain. The pastries and desserts are freshly baked and super delicious. The have combo meals of a sandwich and soup. We got half Spinach goat cheese quiche and half tomato bisque soup. Also half French onion soup and half French bread dip in sauce. We had the raspberry almond croissant and coconut white macadamia chocolate chip for dessert and everything was sumptuous.
Delicious food, excellent service, and outdoor seating (keep someone at the table for the birds).
Exquisitely FRESH croissants made all the difference!!! These croissants were baked TODAY; not last week or yesterday a’la coffee places. The sandwich came with a well toasted split croissant filled with chopped Andoville sausage, overlaid with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions and garlic - if you like, omit the garlic. The sandwich was wonderful; but there were no napkins to wipe away the oil from the meat and melted cheese under the sandwich. The fries were wonderful- 3/16” square cut and PERFECTLY cooked. Remarkably the 3/16” cut made it easier to use my fingers to eat the fries one-at-a-time; I found myself slowing down and enjoying the total experience… but there were no napkins. Finally because the sandwich and fries were such a delight, I ordered for dessert a Raspberry-Almond Croissant. It was deliciously tasty with another FRESH croissant—. Oh the really fresh croissants are a joy … but there were NO NAPKINS provided. Thus, an easily 5-Star encounter is missing one. (Please click 👍🏼. Thank you. )
They got the Croque Monsieur sandwich just right. High quality ham and cheese, very good bechamel sauce and it tasted authentic, yum. Standard salad greens were served on the side but the dressing was exceptionally good. Like a creamy mustard vinaigrette with the slightest hint of curry powder. Best dressing I've had in ages.
Though I didn't have any dessert the wide selection of pastries and cakes in the case looked delicious. The place was very clean including the bathroom and the servers were helpful. No indoor dining for Covid but plenty of outdoor seating. I'll return and report back.
I have been here twice, is an excellent place, food, atmosphere and service, a must if you ever are in This part of the world.
Delicious salads and French desserts. Nice menu of traditional French café food. Finding a parking space during lunchtime might take some patience as this shopping center is a popular place. You order at the counter, and they'll bring the food to your table. It's a small place, but feels large with the surrounding big, glass windows. There is some outdoor seating which is on the sidewalk facing a busy parking lot entrance, but the patrons don't seem to mind. Located two stores down from Trader Joe's.
Really nice french bakery...lots to choose from with a good variety of mostly sweet-leaning items. Our group had regular, chocolate and raspberry-almond croissants, orange -cranberry scone and a berry muffin and all were excellent. I'll likely go back to try the cream cheese danish and the ham & cheese danish eventually. Prices were 3.99 for plain croissant and I believe 4.99 for the flavored ones. They also have bags of mini-croissants and mini-chocolate chip cookies ($6.99 for these) for quick grab and go. They also serve fresh orange juice and other bottle drinks.
The Coffee is incredible. Food was really good service was excellent and helpful. I recommend them.
I fell in love today, will be comming back to try more of their meals and pastries. I got a tiramisu cake, carmel macchiatos and a hot french dip sandwhich with spring salad. It was delicous! They have seasonal sandwiches as well as cakes to take and some made to order. The orders were quick and service was excellent. Sit outside if you can to enjoy the nice sunny days. Take to go or stay, its all really good.
Great pastors and the 3 layer chocolate mousse cake is definitely one of my favorites!
Beautiful French Cafe in Carmel Mountain. Enjoy a French Dip, Macaroons, and Italian roast with a beautiful view of the mountains.
Amazing. French dip/ spinach & goat cheese quiche combo, French dip/ Cobb salad combo, princess cake for dessert.
An excellent local bakery with a great assortment of baked goods, cakes and breakfast items. The place inside is not too big but you can grab a table and have delicious breakfast- they make excellent quiche. Or grab a cappuccino and a pastry. Their almond croissant is heavenly. If there is a special occasion order a cake from them and you will never regret.
I've been there a several times and have never been disappointed. Their sandwiches, pastries, desserts, and drinks address all delicious.
It is a nice place to gather with friends in a Saturday or Sunday morning for a lite breakfast or early lunch. They have a good selection of bakery, make to order breakfast and coffee. We enjoyed their bottomless Lavazza coffee, and with these options: medium, dark or decaf and very fresh. Their baguette are regularly fresh out of their oven, it is hard to find a good French Baguette around San Diego. It is similar to the Baguette we had on our trip to Europe few years ago. It is a good place for a Saturday morning breakfast with few friends.
