A classic. Love the food. Ambience so charming. Service wasn't quite as warm as I remembered, but still a lovely meal.

Cute atmosphere, amazing, healthy food, and super friendly employees! A perfect place for a quick bite to eat. They have so much variety that is open to all dietary choices! Great find!

French Meadow is pretty good when they aren't busy. But if they are, expect to wait very long and not get checked on very often from your server. I've also made the mistake of ordering pickup in the morning before my boyfriend had work and I ended up having to leave and get a refund on doordash because it was 40 minutes past the time it said it would be done and they still couldn't tell me when it would even be ready, so ridiculous. My boyfriend was almost late to work and I wasted an hour of my time waiting when at that point I could've just made us breakfast myself.

Was killing time while my son played nearby at Snapology during 'dry January' so I was looking for a place with NA options. This spot was perfect. Spoke to the owner Lynn who had such great energy - brining out the beer and confirming that my pastry had been heated (it had been - perfectly). I'll definitely be back. What a special spot in Uptown.

Overall, this place was good! The food was tasty and the service was pretty fast for how busy they were on a weekend morning. I thoroughly enjoyed the Eggs Benedict I ordered, and the rest of the party enjoyed their food as well!However, it seemed quite loud for a morning, the table was a bit dirty (we kept finding old pieces of salad stuck to the table), and the server forgot a few things that were specifically requested (extra cheese in the breakfast quesadilla and an extra side of hollandaise for the eggs - although I did eventually receive it after requesting again).Regardless, we liked the food and would come back for it.

Great food , great staff. Cool place. Kinda on the spendy side but worth it!!! Would definitely go back!

The Coconut cake was very yummy. We need to come again for lunch. We've been here in the past for brunch ( nightmare) as it's everyone's favorite and super crowded. The crowd was just right for cake and coffee about 2 pm during the week.

The restaurant is a nice and cozy place to have brunch with family and friends. Egg and bacon croissant is delicious. Salmon egg’s Benedict is okay, not too much flavor in the salmon or hollandaise sauce. We also got chocolate croissant and blackberry peach danish to-go and they were tasty.

Overall, a solid brunch option. The eggs Benedict I had were perfectly seasoned and the poached eggs were appropriately runny. The prices are a bit on the steep side for some of the beverages, but that's a minor price to pay for the quality. If there was anything negative about our experience, it was that our poor overworked server had a hard time getting back to our table. That was not the servers fall, as they were clearly understaffed, but it did detract some white from our visit.

Nice space. Good service. Food was very good. Burger was very good. Bacon egg crossiant was a great sandwich. French toast wasn't my favorite. Texture wise was too dry for me but flavor was good. Would definitely recommend and come back.
One of my favorite places for breakfast and lunch..great food..fun atmosphere and amazing service!

The food here was great, the service was good, and the atmosphere was nice (we sat outside). I'd definitely recommend trying it if you are around.FOOD: I got the Caesar salad. It was a very good salad although the to-go portion was about half the size of the dine-in size. In addition, the dine-in had many pieces of cauliflower while the to-go only had one. This may have been a blip for them, but it was a bit strange. But, it was good and I would return for the food but will definitely be dining in next time.AMBIANCE: Sitting outside was super nice and comfortable here.SERVICE: The service was very speedy and friendly.PARKING: There's street parking on Lyndale and a small parking lot with spots if you're lucky. Not an abundance of parking overall but not such a problem either.

I've always walked by this place and never been in which is crazy because it's clearly adorable. We finally came to our senses and tried it and with the guidance of Angela our waitress, the experience was everything. She was knowledgeable and charismatic and her recommendations were intuitive and spot on. Incredible server, wonderful food and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay away.Parking: Great parking off Lyndlale!

Great place!! I've been here many times, but I just realized I hadn't posted a review.Large portions and creative menu items. To be honest, I've only eaten breakfast items. But they have all been fantastic.Full of flavor, big chunks of vegetables, and other items.The prices are a little high, but it's locally sourced food, so I'm all great with that.I need to go back and try the bakery items; I've heard they are just as good as the rest of the food!Parking: Small parking lot to the side. But honestly, go for street parking. You will probably have a better shot at street spots. And hey, walking is always good!Dietary restrictions: There are a lot of GF and vegan options on the menu.I don't know how well the kitchen is on the GF separation, but it's an option if you're willing to try it or risk it.

Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. The outdoor patio is wonderful, especially the back section away from the street. The salmon Benedict is a full salmon fillet topped with spinach and eggs. The fish portion in the tacos is generous. Lovely seasonings and dressings.Had reservations for the weekend and the wait time from when we ordered and received items was long, even drinks took at least 15 minutes to come. They forgot part of my order, but brought it out immediately once I pointed it out.
