Never had hamburger but certainly glad I did the best hamburger I think I've ever had. Fresh homemade roll. Caramelized onions on it Spectacular! Darcee Campbell Gulf

They don't put much effort into their food. Stopped by with a family member to grab some breakfast and after a long wait, the croissant sandwich had a distinct taste of a cleaning product and the omelet was dry and overdone. I usually don't leave negative reviews, but this place kinda fell flat.

Just off the Siesta Key island and worth the short drive. Pleasant French owner and his son. Great and unique French pastries and sandwiches and lunch mains. Reasonable prices. VERY RECOMMENDEDParking: Strip mall parking, but several open spaces where the restaurant is.

We had an excellent experience. The lattes were superb and a work of art. The Croissant and Quiche were delicious. On top of all that were we’re allowed to sit inside with our dog (in the side area) on a chilly morning. We will be back!

Pastries were average. The man was not very friendly. "Three stars" is generous. Judging from other glowing reviews, I must have come on a bad day.Parking: Parking is not the problem.

What a lovely bistro! As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a smile and an eagerness to serve you and please you. Was even given a cup of complimentary coffee while I waited.We ordered 2 croissants. A ham and cheese, and the egg, ham and cheese plus 2 freshly squeezed orange juices.Croissants were spot on. I recommend!

Just stopped in after getting a massage a few doors down (I reviewed them too) and wow what an incredible find! The gentleman working, I assume was the owner, was kind and helpful and guided me to order the ham/cheese/egg croissant which was the most delectable breakfast croissant I’ve ever had. The croissant itself was perfectly flaky on the outside and gooey on the inside, the egg was not an afterthought and cooked to a perfect omelette style, the cheese, which I assume was a creamy Brie was the cherry on top of it all. Absolutely delicious! The side salad had an amazing dressing, which tasted very homemade, and had me craving more (I’m European and appreciated the sweet onions on the salad!) I can’t wait to be back with my family for breakfast, the menu is mouthwatering. I’ve never been to France, but I presume this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to true French food in the states.

My first time here. I had the baguettin with olives and tomato and the cinnamon roll. Both exceeded my expectations, everything was so soft and delicious!

Everything was absolutely delicious. The almond croissants IS to die for, the other reviewer wasn't wrong.
