We came for the French tapas and it was a fun experience! This is really a great deal and it was fun to try so many different dishes. We especially enjoyed the mussels, beef poutine, and the coq au vin. I wouldn’t say the food was an absolute stand out but it was good and the experience itself was worth going.

The Cote de Porc was, in a word, SPECTACULAR, and the St. Germaine Espresso Martini was the best I’ve ever had -it tasted just like an espresso. The service was top notch – friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. I’m very much looking forward to future visits.

This is a very spacious and quaint cafe. We came around 2pm on a Sunday and there were a lot of open tables. We got a couple of sandwiches and a soup.
The boeuf bourguinon sandwich was excellent — the meat and mushrooms were tender and covered in an unctuous sauce, with a great kick from the mustard. I would definitely get this again. It was decadent in all the best ways. The bread was not the best, but it was masked by the amazing filling.
The Parisian ham and cheese sandwich was not as good, mainly because the bread was quite disappointing. It was very soft and a bit floury. I would’ve preferred a crustier bread with more structure. The filling was fine, and I liked the pickle, but I would’ve liked more ham as well. Praline’s version of this sandwich is way better, mostly because of the bread.
We also got the French onion soup ($10), which my husband, a French onion soup hater, loved. It has a nice crusty cheese top and was a bit sweet.
Overall the boeuf bourguinon sandwich was excellent, but the sandwich bread was not great. I’d come back for that one sandwich, though!

Tried the new brunch menu and had a great time. Our server, Lucas, was a superstar. The breakfast sandwich needs a little extra something – like some mustard or a chutney. But overall a really nice relaxing place to grab brunch and a coffee ☕

Came on a Sunday morning to check it out. There were 15 ppl inside with about 15 open tables. The First Lady told us they were sold out and offered the bar for us to sit at. Then they had no menus. We waited and waited for a menu and it never came. We ended up ordering off the wall menu and cabinet food. They forgot to bring us 1 of the 2 items we ordered. We also had to clean our own table. Comes across as an upscale cafe but is really just another understaffed average place. Way better options out there than this place. Outdoor tables are all set up but were never offered to us as an option. Felt like the staff did not want to be there or try to break a smile.

A friend and I stopped in for lunch yesterday and enjoyed the onion soup,it was wonderful. I returned later to pick up a few treats and learned you’ll be open on Thanksgiving. I had such a lovely interaction with Karina. As someone who has lost much of my family and often spends holidays on my own, she made me feel truly welcomed. I shared that with her, and she was so understanding and kind. Told me I wouldnt have to be alone this year because you guys are open and she’d be there. She even offered me a list of other restaurants and bars that often stay open on the holidays. It was a small moment, but it meant a great deal to me. I’m very grateful I stopped by. I look forward to coming in on Thanksgiving, I hope to see her!

Late review, but we stopped in for tapas a few weeks ago and honestly… it didn’t really land for us. The food was fine, but the vibe felt a little off and not very welcoming. We even found strands of our server’s blonde hair in our food, which definitely didn’t help. Safe to say, I’ll try elsewhere next time I was craving French for dinner.
Fast forward a bit, friends kept raving about their brunch (and the pretty lattes ), so we decided to give it another chance a couple weeks ago… and I’m genuinely so glad we did.
Brunch was a completely different experience. The energy was upbeat, lively, and actually felt warm and welcoming. Our server Alex was excellent and funny, and the bartender Katrina was amazing. Watching the staff interact with each other was such a nice touch, everyone seemed happy, playful, and like they actually enjoyed being there, which really elevated the whole atmosphere that Saturday morning.
We ordered the French toast and an omelette. The food took a little longer than expected, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Of course we had to get lattes, we tried the honey cinnamon and an off-menu salted honey latte recommended by the bartender. Both were incredible, beautifully made, and came with lovely latte art. We ended brunch with cocktails because… why not?
If you’re on the fence, I’d definitely recommend stopping by for brunch. Totally different vibe than dinner, delicious food, amazing pastries , and a really great overall experience. Brunch is clearly where they shine ✨If I lived closer, I’d be here for coffee everyday!

The place is beautiful and calm. But that’s where it ended. The prices were high ($20 for 2 teas an 2 croissants) and the chocolate croissant was dry and felt like I was eating thin layers of glass. Pretty sure there were 5 chocolate chips inside too. Disappointing! I had to ask the staff to warm it, I was not offered. When they brought it over to my table there was NOTHING warm about it. Disappointing! The hot tea was delicious but the “mug” was not functional. Extremely hot to touch and impossible to pick up with the tiny awkward unbalanced handle. Frustrating! And the chairs felt very cheap. I tried to lean back and relax, it felt like the chair was going to crack or topple over. Not able to relax during my breakfast. I ate and left immediately and probably will not return.

You should Definitely try it it you’re into French pastry.
This is a relatively new bakery with excellent quality French pastry. I have not yet tried their bread as I bike around this area but based on the quality of pastry I’d bet it’s top quality too.
UPDATE on bread: I tried it on two separate occasions. I think it is too salty.
They have a espresso machine and their espresso is what you can find in a cafe in business district of Milan.
However, there is an excellent coffeeshop that roast their coffee steps away where you can grab single origin beans and light roast coffee etc.
