This place served me on of the best latte’s I’ve ever had, and I truly mean that. Nice atmosphere here and it’s next to island books, so it’s a good place to grab a bite or s sip with a book. I will say it’s a bit pricey but they brought our drinks to us and also served complementary water, ice cold from a glass bottle. That was very nice.

Parking: There’d a parking lot in front of the store

Service needs vast improvement for an actual dining experience. Manager and wait staff lacking in experience. Orders forgotten and all parties at table should be served at same time.

This place is really cute and has a nice atmosphere, but it’s definitely on the expensive side. I paid $10 for my simple coffee, which was a bit of a shock, and since then, I haven’t returned. While I appreciate the charm of the place, I just don’t think it’s worth the price for what you get.

Very mid. Too expensive for coffee. They really upcharge the alternative milks. Their food looked good but I didn't get any. Seems more a place you'd want to go to grab a pastry than to grab a quick coffee. Disappointing because we don't have too many options for coffee on the island, thought this might be a good one, but I'd rather go to Starbucks [wish there were more options].

The pastries on display look old, but what comes out is new and delicious.
I had an almond croissant and a sandwich called La, California. Both are delicious.
Personally, I prefer the almond cream to be a bit sweeter, but it is good enough.
Sandwiches were good baguettes.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice.
I felt the plants would make the place even more wonderful.
Likewise the Issaquah store, I like the atmosphere and the French blue here.

The cashier lady was nice and calm.

The espresso was possibly a medium roast. I ordered a latte, but I could taste the milk.
I didn't find it to be acidic, which I prefer. I think it is a well adjusted and extracted espresso with a good balance of bitterness.

Overall, I like it.

can’t speak to the food, it was a bit expensive so i just got a coffee. For an almost $9 large coffee it was extremely milky (barely warm) and i couldn’t taste any espresso. not sure what that’s about, but it also seems like they focus way more on food than coffee. it’s possible they only used one shot of espresso and it got overpowered by the milk.

I had the Niçoise salad and did not like it. The dressing was not good which colored the whole salad.

Exceptional food and love the ambiance, felt like I was in Europe, very cool and subtle decor. Our waitress was very accommodating and the food came out fast. Would definitely go again.

a bit pricey but had the best ever almond croissant!

It's like a quick trip to France right on Mercer Island! Excellent quality and service with a variety of traditional French pastries and entrees. I also like browsing their selection of gifts and food and wine. Macarons keep my coming back for special occasions. Highly recommend lunch, brunch, or shopping to spoil yourself or a friend.

Food was not bad but the service was so-so on a weekday. It's a bit pricey in general. The croissant was great.
