Stopped for lunch with my wife and the food was good but the to go order for a house salad was not good at all. It was about 1/2 cup of lettuce with a few bits of tomato on top and a small baguette. The price was over 10 dollars. Not happy and probably won't return.

Not a French restaurant so just keep walking by! I ordered a tomato and egg baguette which was flavorless and only ate a 1/3 of it. The salad that came with it was disgusting with wilted lettuce and again, no flavor. They weren't serving coffee, were out of drink additions, and their pastures are definitely not fresh. The wait also was exceedingly long for just a sandwich. Definitely not going back.

Had a wonderful roast beef dip. The bread, as always, was light yet crisp and the beef tender and lean with a rich broth for dipping. Thanks to the friendly staff for a great quick lunch!

Well ...it is the end of an era. I have been coming to this place since the early nineties and unfortunately I may not be back. Boy have things changed. I've probably had their French onion soup over 50 times over the years.The recipe has changed and it's not near as good. Super salty. Lower quality cheese. I sent mine back because it had very little cheese, it took forever and the person bringing out the food didn't even speak a lick of English. I couldn't even ask for a spoon. He didn't even understand that. I noticed a few other people complaining about various things. Just a totally different vibe now. Such a shame.

Could not be more disappointed. Typically with French bread, there should be a nice crispy outside and chewy inside. The baguette I got was so hard I literally had cuts all over my mouth. Also, the ravioli was so bland it had me questioning my life choices that morning. This is NOT the same place as the one on Garden of the Gods, and if you forget, the staff will rudely remind you. Save your tastebuds and go elsewhere. It’s not la baguette, more like la ba gag.

Food was clumsy and not what you would expect from a French Bakery. The baguettes were nearly inedible, the omelette were like airplane food, and the surly staff burnt the lattes. The eclair was filled with tasty cream but the thick layer of chocolate caused the bun to wilt. Perhaps it is better during the week with business crowds.

Excellent and delightful food. But extremely overpriced.

You absolutely need to check this place out. I moved away for over a decade and visiting, this is where I wanted to go. It remained exactly the same. This place gets it. Their tortellini is unbelievable, you are left with sauce perfect to dip the bread into. I cannot stress how good this place is!

I was visiting the town for work and decided to give this place a try because of the good reviews but left super disappointed. The cashiers were nice but the food was absolutely awful. We paid $40 for 2 sandwiches with 2 pieces of meat and bunch of lettuce to make it look big, no flavor what so ever and super dry. The coffee was subpar but the sandwiches are not worth more than couple dollars max. Not recommended

So. Slow. Maybe it’s part of the French experience?

An authentic French cafe offering croissants and baguettes. I had a ham and swiss croissant sandwich and wife had ham, turkey, and swiss on a baguette. Both were good. Fun, whimsical place that transports you to France.

Yummy croissant. Boring and uninspired omelette (no flavor). Overripe cantaloupe. Excellent coffee with free refills, but small cups. My companions got round large rolls that looked hard as a rock. I liked the atmosphere but have no interest in returning.Wheelchair accessibility: Single story—someone may need help with threshold and front door. Women’s bathroom appears accessible, but I don’t remember if there are grab bars or a high toilet. I don’t think there is a disabled sink.

Absolutely amazing. I had the apple croissant and a chai latte. Food was perfect. So delicious. Everyone working was so friendly and answered my questions about any issues with a nut allergy. It was wonderful. The inside of the shop was so cozy and pretty. I wish we had gotten to stay but we got our food and left.

The food was wonderful and the portions were right, not too much or not enough. Priced right with very friendly staff!
