Such a wonderful little cafe! The coffee was delicious. I bought one of their specials, pistachio tiramisu iced latte. We also got a BEC and their California BEC, and it was VERY good. Came out hot and very fresh. The service was wonderful and the girls were very attentive. They have vegetarian, gluten free, and keto options. Everything is organic (for those that care about that kind of thing)

Came here for lunch to take advantage of the outdoor seating since we have our dog with us. The building is right next to the Gilford Recreation Center. There are seating inside, upstairs and at the outdoor patio. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. They came over and said hi to our dog.
I ordered the chicken and artichoke crepe and my wife ordered the grain bowl. The crepe was chewy. I think the dough was over stirred and also lacking texture, perhaps some crunchy elements and acid will make it taste better. My wife's quinoa salad was good but it's a bit pricey $17 for a bowl of vegetables.

Customer service is OK- not overly friendly, but get past that and the matcha and drinks were great and the Dubai croissant, almond croissant were fabulous! I would return for those!

Absolutely delicious coffee, crepes, and breakfast sandwiches - 5 stars truly isn’t enough! Staff were very welcoming and helpful making for an all around fantastic experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this stop to anyone craving the perfect breakfast/brunch stop.

Belle Vie Cafe is truly a diamond in a sea of pearls. The moment you taste any of their products you can really sense a difference in the quality of their ingredients - tasty food that is actually good for you. The owner, Alexandra is fabulous and manages a great team that creates such a welcoming atmosphere in a unique place. The pastries, the omelettes, the sandwiches or the coffee's - you really can't go wrong with any choice. Hopefully they open another location in CT soon!

I love this place and couldn’t recommend enough! We’ve lived in Guilford for about a decade and the ownership has changed thrice, (from Perk on Church, to Java Hut, to Belle Vie), and I have to say Belle Vie hit a home run. Though I wish they still had “Porky’s Revenge” (a delicious breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, eggs, and cheese), Belle Vie Cafe has added some truly yummy pastries - all made in house. The staff and atmosphere are great and it’s in a cool Quonset hut. It’s my favorite restaurant in the area. You should definitely check it out!
