The quality of this place has gone down a lot in the past few years.

The savory brioche french toast is amazing and you can not go wrong with a baguette and preserves!

Our daughter has a noise sensitivity, so it is not common for us to sit in, the last two visits we were turned away both times from ordering takeout even after asked if we wanted take out the 2nd time and explaining we had to have our daughter wait outside while we ordered because it was too loud, not the Mon Petit Choux I used to frequent 10-13 years ago.

Really love this place. They have great coffee, & a really lovely menu. Their Bennie are the best, made with crispy croissants, perfect poached eggs, & decadent hollandaise sauce. They also have a large & different variety of them. I can't wait to try the lunch menu.

Fantastic! Great ambience, service, and menu selections. I had the best ham and cheese croissant, plus a pristine nanaimo bar that was unlike any other ones that I've had. I must come back here!

We went in to get some sandwiches for lunch. The amount of noise inside the restaurant was too much for my daughter, who suffers from noise sensory. She was overwhelmed and had to wait outside. I asked if we could order some sandwiches and was asked by the associate working the till 'for here or to go?' When I said to go they said no we can't do that. Then I said what if we sit in? They said yes if you sit in we can do that for you. I tried explain that my daughter can't sit in because the noise level was too high, because she has sensory issues. They said that's too bad, we can't make an exception. We walked up to Cold Front and back, and watched someone walk out with two to-go sandwiches. Poor form. My daughter can't understand why you won't serve her unless she sits inside and is miserable. Worst service/experience. I always tip at the till, and spend over $100. We will not return. Why can't a sandwich be wrapped?!?

Filthy environment! Chef bullying staff. They keep arguing in front of customer. $10.00 for a tiny croissant with ham.

This little French restaurant / cafe literally means “my little cabbage” serves French pastry and brunch. I ordered the fried egg & ham with tomato croissant with a mocha and while you need to expect service to be slow, the food is delish. My friend ordered croque madam 2 sunny side eggs Gruyère cheese & brioche.

This place is perfectly adorable. Nice crew working in the kitchen at the counter. Coffee was really good. Got french toast. That was very generous and tasty with a side of mixed fresh fruits. My bride had muesli, yogurt and granola with lots of fresh fruit and a fancy latte. Prices seemed really good, really enjoyed the service and the people there.

First of all the food was delicious I just had to start it out like that service was quick and the interior was kinda good but not great
My wife said these was the best Eggs Benny she'd ever had. I had the Smoked Salmon Benny and it was great. The smoked salmon had a very mild flavour so I could still taste the eggs and hollandaise. Would come here all the time if I lived in Nanaimo.

The food at this quaint little cafe was outstanding - the potatoes were exceptional -not deep fried as so many places do. That being said, the service was lacking and appeared to be untrained and non-responsive - a total contrast to the quality in the kitchen. Long waits before someone comes to see if you want coffee etc. I suggest you be assertive and go to the counter if it gets too long. Still was worth the wait... Food and location are outstanding.

A charming cafe with a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of food options and reasonably priced. The service was excellent.
