We just had a wonderful experience here for lunch! Iced latte and the salmon croissant were lovely. The staff and owner were also so incredibly kind. My two rescue dogs were brought with myself to the patio, where the staff and owner brought them water and pup cups. This was a perfect first experience for my dogs. Thank you! Merci!

Fairly tasty, quick casual cafe. Should be four stars, but for the premium price point, taking a bit more critical perspective.

Came in search of a beignet (sad after Southern Rail closed), but missed. The beignets are definitely not the New Orleans style. These were nominally french bakery style, but honestly they were more like jelly-filled donut holes (honestly disappointing as a donut… kinda soggy and definitely not delicate or subtle).

Food in general came out very quickly. Maybe too quickly. We had a ham/cheese crepe, a Nutella crepe, a breakfast sandwich, and belgian waffle. Most of it was solid/tasty. Likes the simple salad and flavors were good. The breakfast sandwich on croissant was yummy. The bits of bone in the ham (in the crepe) weren’t awesome, and the cheese in the crepe had the was-melted-now-cooled texture 😕. The belgian waffle was a little sad looking, but was solid.

Service was mostly pleasant, friendly. one notable exception of one staff member who seemed a bit frenetic and felt it would be appropriate to interrupt us taking an order to bark at the cashier, “that’s the last hot chocolate”. Then, a couple minutes later, yelling (at least speaking loudly enough to be heard over the din across the dining room): “I can’t make you a mocha because we don’t have any chocolate!”. Maybe. I’m just old, but in my experience, there graceful ways to sort that out - out of eye/earshot of your customers.

Overall, it was good and a convenient stop if in the area and craving this type of food. If the price point was about 15-20% lower, it’d probably be a repeat - but for the price, there are better options for similar or higher quality food.

I was looking for a different restaurant and had the name wrong, but stumbled on this restaurant online and saw great reviews so decided to visit! It is a gem that is lost in a strip mall! Fabulous food, sweet service personnel, wonderful and nice chef! Will return here anytime are in Scottsdale! We had beef stroganoff, lobster bisque, and the best quiche I’ve ever had ((and a large piece of quiche!)… it was so light and flavorful … spinach and feta. Superb meal! Followed by a pear and frangipane tart. Perfect ending to a great meal!

I had brunch here, with some friends, a few weeks ago. I would recommend making a reservation if you have a group of 4 or more. The restaurant is small, and it fills up quickly.

The food & coffee were great. I didn't have a chance to try any of the baked goods, so I'll have to go back 😁

Signature. The Chantilly in the meringue was hardened from sitting in the chilled case, but chef Duke can do no wrong. Delicious cosmopolitan cuisine, faithful, global customer base, always worth every visit

The owner met me at the counter. She was warm and kind. The pastries are sent in from France. That's just so cool! I got the almond croissant. It tasted buttery, flaky, and delicious. I got their in-house cappuccino. Yummmmy!! And their quiche "truffle & mushroom." It was incredible. I'm really happy that I stopped in to try this little hidden gem.
