Amazing and affordable crepes and coffee! The gentlemen who work there are also really sweet. My go to breakfast and brunch place!!
Really like the coffee and French toast here. Both are very delicious and have a large portion. The staff is friendly. Strongly recommend and will come here again!
Located in beautiful downtown Palo Alto adjacent to University Avenue. Street side tables, QR code to order and pay. Good service and good food. Great for a quick bite to eat or leisurely breakfast.
The restaurant has some gems, but was a little uneven in quality. The parfait was wonderful and had heaps of fresh berries on it. The fruit salad by contrast was mostly just cantaloupe. Clearly there are berries on hand that could have been added to liven the fruit salad up, even a few on top would have made a difference. Service was very quick for me. The fresh squeezed orange juice was wonderful. Portions were small but fine. You pay a premium in price because this is Palo Alto but overall the food was decent.

I waited 40min for breakfast to be delivered after ordering via the QR code on table. - despite I intervening two times to say I was rushing to the airport. I was rudely shown a sign on the table that said waiting times could be 15-20 min if the restaurant was full. The restaurant was not full. The toast was as hard as timber.and all the food was cold.With the QR system, payment was up front with the system almost forcing the inclusion of a tip - which I succumbed to.I want to know how I can get the tip refunded

Came in for the savory crepes, seldom found in the Bay area. Acceptable quality but inconsistent in terms of color, and not crisp on the outside and slightly too dry. The journey to find a good savory French crepe goes on I guess.

Have breakfast at this bistro. Nice ambience. You can view the menu by scanning the QR code on the table and follow the instructions. I had eggs with crepe and hot chocolate.There is also external sitting.

Went for a breakfast, it was a bad experienceRequested extra syrup because the crepe needed more syrup but they refused saying that it is expensive and there is no way to charge for it in their system!!! It was a very bad experience and the cook was mean and impaciente! The food couldn’t be finishedAs to the egg cheese croissant sandwich it was good

It’s places like this that make me doubt the restaurant review system. I don’t understand how it could have only four stars —I’ve been coming here for years and the food is always amazing. The croissants are perfectly flakey —I highly recommend the croissant breakfast sandwich. Anything you get here will rival what you get at a Parisian cafe.
