Cozy brunch of delectable, artfully plated French-inspired egg-related dishes, served piping hot by friendly and efficient staff. Good portion size and fair prices. We perused the French cuisine items for sale along the walls after eating. Also bought pastries and bread fresh from the OUTSTANDING bakery at the heart of the offerings. A Francophile's paradise! We'll DEFINITELY go back!

I stopped by on St Patricks day and bought a couple of Irish soda bread and it was awesome. The case was full of great looking pastry. Its very convenient right next to James drug on main street in Old Saybrook

I had high hopes for this little spot! However, we found the pastry to be subpar/basic, unfortunately. Service was not welcoming unless you are fancy.

Came in for brunch about 90 minutes before closing. It appeared that two tables were empty but needed to be cleared. We were told that they were very busy and no tables were available. When asked the duration of the wait we were told it could be a while as they were busy. We decided to get a couple items from the bakery. We were next in line to be served when the parties left the dining room and were served ahead of us, including bakery selection. We purchased 3 croissants and left.I am not sure what was amiss, but there were four empty tables when we left. I guess they do not really want bunch customers on Sunday.Parking: Small lot with about 12 spaces.

Delicious breakfasts of egg cocottes and omelets, and plenty of fresh viennoiserie to choose from (croissants etc.) I had the cocotte with carmelized onions- it came piping hot in a mini casserole with a side of super potatoes and a toasted slab of baguette. My date had the truffle omelet. Both were scrumptious and accompanied by filter coffee. We bought a couple of beautiful pastries on the way out. The place is in a delightful antique building that once housed a pharmacy and the sell French delicacies and kitchen items as well. Servers are local you g men- they aim to please but are not pros. Only suggestion is that they turn up the heat- it's chilly in there in the winter!

What a pleasant surprise! We have been visiting our son for years who is part a program for disabled adults. We are foodies and have never been impressed with any food on the shoreline. This brunch was beyond all expectations! We will definitely be back.
This amazing place was hindered by Town zoning as far as signage. We have many more ugly places including my bank on Route 1. Skippers has ugly signage and so does the new tap place for vitamins through IV. This was a class establishment and should have been allowed to advertise even though they are on the historic Route. As a result Our Town loses because they are going out of business and leaving.

Nice little spot in Old Saybrook that is worth checking out if you like French cuisine.It was quiet in the morning and not too crowded. The atmosphere inside puts you squarely into a little French bistro. The menu helps cement that feel. The service was good, but as it slowly filled with customers and only one waitress, it got more difficult to get their attention. That almost didn't matter as I was obsessed with the coquette I got.Highly recommend.

For how small of a restaurant this is I would expect exceptional service. Our order was given to the only other table in the restaurant and no one came to check on us. We sat for almost an hour and I never got to eat. Very disappointed with overall experience.
