Nicole's Market & Cafe in South Pasadena is a French bistro and market offering a variety of French specialties and gourmet foods. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, a menu with French cafe staples, and a selection of desserts like croissants and flourless chocolate cake. The market stocks imported French goods, pantry items, and frozen pastries for baking at home. The service has been described as lacking, with wait staff bringing food and then disappearing. However, the desserts are praised for being rich and decadent, albeit a bit pricey. The cafe is a hidden gem favored by locals, with a charming atmosphere reminiscent of French bistros. Customers can curate their own picnic baskets with items from the marketplace, and enjoy sharing a charcuterie platter and a bottle of wine with friends. The chocolate mousse is highlighted as a must-try, served in an edible chocolate cup and topped with white chocolate pearls. Overall, Nicole's is a great spot for a casual meal or to pick up gourmet items for a special occasion.
