A hidden gem. I’ve driven past here many times and finally stopped. How did I not know there was a French cafe in Abingdon?? It was fresh, delicious and healthy. I had the Mykonos Omelet and coffee. I will definitely be back soon. Open for breakfast and lunch. Highly recommend.

Best little restaurant around! I ordered the smashed bacon burger with fries, and my husband ordered the omelet. We both loved our food. The staff was so friendly and helpful with the menu. We will definitely be back!!

Delicious brunch with friends! We also tried a pastry at the meal's end, and it was outstanding.

I was in with my husband after hearing great things about this place. We usually go to Sister’s at the Martha, or Rain when we are in town for lunch but a nurse at the doctor’s office I go to in Abingdon recommended we try out this cafe.

Where to start… the restaurant was hot. Stuffy hot to the point of uncomfortable. Considering it was freezing outside, this should be a good thing, but it was nearly hard to breathe it was so warm.

The service wasn’t great. There was only one server and he was rude. My husband was asking questions about the menu and he seemed annoyed to answer them even though the place was dead empty aside from one other patron who already had their food. His cologne was overwhelmingly strong, too. Between his frustration to answer questions and his smell, we were ready to leave but decided to try and stay. The female cook seemed like a sour puss too. Like she didn’t want to be there.

The food was okay. Nothing to write home about. Tiny portions that don’t reflect the pricing. Husband had a quiche and it was cold and rubbery. Probably microwaved. I had an omelette and it was overcooked.

It’s clean. That’s a plus, but the restroom is outside and you have to get a key. Gross.

All in all we won’t be back. There’s so many better places to go in town, where the service is great and the food is better and matches the prices. I doubt this place makes any money at all. It’s just not that good.

Stopped in for lunch. Pleasant surprise...caught live music by two guitarists. Service very timely, food was good (pesto chkn and Florentine crepe), nice hostess/Owner! Will be back to try breakfast.

Excellent food and service was great. Could use a bit of a makeover as the atmosphere is just blah.

My family and I adore this restaurant! Almost everything inside is beautifully hand painted or hand made, and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. We've ordered several items off the menu and so far my favorite has been the beef bourguignon. It's very similar to how my dad would make it when I was little and so comforting! Absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to try it:)

The food was overpriced and underwhelming. My crepe was cold and bubbled ($12), and the biscuits and gravy were what appeared to be a Pillsbury biscuit split in half and a spoonful of poorly seasoned gravy ($9.50). The outside space is literally on the side of an extremely busy road, and the coffee tasted like JFG. In a town with a couple of different coffee houses, which offer an amazing atmosphere and also serve breakfast foods and a crepe place right down the road...this place will need to seriously step it up if they plan on surviving.

We stopped in for lunch for the first time in a long time since people had been recommending them and were not disappointed. The food was good, the service was attentive and we got our order in a very reasonable amount of time. The French onion pork chops were excellent. Sorry for the photos being mid meal (I was so hungry I forgot).

Such a fun little place and very delicious food. I had the basil pesto chicken, my daughter had the Chelsea and my husband had the monte Cristo. You should definitely try it!
