What a delight! The owner, the decor, the food! We were warmly greeted by the owner and introduced to the Sunday Brunch menu. I chose the salmon and spinach quiche and my friend chose the Quiche Lorraine. Both came with well seasoned potatoes and flavorful ratatouille! The quiche was moist and tasty with a handmade flaky crust! It was a very satisfying meal! The coffee was strong and smooth. I had a cappuccino with oat milk. It was great!
There were thoughtful touches around the cafe. I loved the record player and the albums along the wall near it!!
When we arrived at about noon the place was empty but soon after a nice stream of folks came in and out. It never got too crowded though. I know that will change as the word gets out! I will definitely return!

I stumbled across this great new place recently that offers authentic french baked goods that are absolutely delicious! They have other french dishes and dessert offerings as well. I walked in to the beautiful aroma of fresh baked pastries and was greeted by a very nice woman with a French accent. She explained that she was the owner and made all of the many fine pastries herself.
I had to partake in this parade of baked goods that she had displayed so lovely. I chose 3 types of pastries, all of which I could not pronounce correctly . However, they were all absolutely delicious! I had an espresso as well made by a beautiful, sophisticated, shiny machine.
There aren’t many French places on that side of town, and I love that this spot is bringing more diversity to the community. Stop on by!

I have been going to Crème Brûlée since Cynthia, the owner, opened the first location and have since become a big fan of her sandwiches. Her warming smile always makes me feel welcome.
The new place is cozy. There is a couch where you can just sit and chitchat with your friends. I went there for the French Fridays event with my friends and we had a great time. And the food was amazing. One of my friends ordered the soupe à l’oignon. She is herself a chef and couldn’t help but ask Cynthia for her recipe. I had the steak frites sauce moutarde, and everything was cooked to perfection. I took home some pastries and a couple of baguettes because I had guests the next day, and it was a hit. Her galette des rois was one of the best I have had in a long time.

Love it ! I’m looking forward to seeing the place in full effect next month complete with Sunday set menu options. Today we devoured the turkey lasagna with salad and garlic bread, and breakfast croissant. We’ve long awaited this small local business’s return since the announcement of their relocation as we die hard Francophiles know she’s the real deal.

I really like this place. I went to it after requesting a mental health day from work since I was experiencing some anxiety due to my pregnancy. The food plate I ordered was satiating and I left full. I ordered a regular plate, croissant, and hot chocolate. My growing baby and I were happy after our meal. The potato slices in my plate were warm and good. The atmosphere felt calm for me and the music playing in the background made my meal go down well. I will be going back.

The most delicious French food and loveliest owner and staff. The setting is sweet and casual but the pastries, quiche and espresso drinks taste like fine-dining! Plenty of parking and good vibes.

This place is a hidden gem! I live up the street but saw it after I left the DMV today! I got the lunch special (potatoes au gratin with a salad and a cafe au latte) everything was DELICIOUS! AND THE PASTRIES! OMG! The owner Cynthia makes everything in house herself! ( Love her French accent ) My husband and I had to take some more pastries to go! Can’t wait to go back to get the turkey lasagna and creme brulee!!!

The owner offered me a coffee and didn’t know this place exists. It a lovey cafe and planned to come back and try a pastry or meal. My vanilla latte was perfect! Not too sweet just balance. Thank you so much
