Convenient spot to grab pastries, coffee, or quick lunch/brunch. It offers variety of sweets, in It's beautiful to sit outside on the sunny days in the patio area as well. The set up is Frenchie romantic with tables under red umbrellas. Food will be served by server if you sit outside, which I like about it because there are some cafes they yell your name to go get the food. I like:
1. Tomato soup
2. Egg benedict
3. Strawberry waffles
The outdoor seating is relaxing on a quiet weekday. Chai latte is pretty decent and their pastry selection is fantastic.
Yes, you can enjoy the good food, good service, the beautiful view by the bridge connecting the 2 huge mall complexes of South Coast plaza, the cute visits of little birdies and the soft music of La Vie En Rose. Oui, oui, j'aime bien!
Every treat is so rich and sweet! Gorgeous presentation and very flavorful. Lil upscale and pricey but the desserts are worth it !!
Good coffee and pastries 🥮 in a nice setting in South Coast Plaza Shopping Mall
I went here today for the first time. I tried the raspberry almond croissant and the iced mocha with a fancy chocolate swirl :-) but everything looked delicious! The ambiance here is phenomenal. In the evening around 7 pm the lights above your head come on and they definitely set a romantic vibe. This is definitely a place to check out.
Delicious baked goods. Nice selection even right before closing time. Espresso wasn't as good as we hoped but the cappuccino was good. Love how the decor is straight off the Champs Elysses with the "outdoor like setting" which is really just an open area in the mall and the wicker chairs which are exactly like the chairs at the outdoor cafes in Paris.
Amazing quiche here and crepes Florentine are tasty too. Also could not resist their mango coconut cake - it's simply outstanding and we will be back for more!
Very nice French style atmosphere and great menu selection. Such a lovely restaurant!
What a great place for a celebration. I wanted to give a big thumbs up to this café for providing us with a great outdoor luncheon, great quiches and French pastries. It was a while back... I don't know if they still have the little group that plays music outdoors for their patrons. Felt like we were in Paris. I remember dancing with my father here. So charmingly wonderful.
Prices are reasonable and they have and outdoor patio area for you to enjoy the sunshine. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and found it to be delicious. For a quick bite or even a place to just enjoy being outside of the plaza Champagne is worth a look.
