Lovely French restaurant and bakery. The staff is very nice and the food is delicious, especially pastries. I highly recommend trying the crepes ! Espresso was great as well. BRAVO!
What a unique restaurant and bakery !! I come here with my kids at least once a week and they love it. Delicious crepes and pastries. We recently came for dinner, and it was a delight. The wine list is terrific, and prices were very interesting regarding the quality of the products. See you again soon !
Pastries were amazing, especially palmiers..... Felt like I was back in France.... Very friendly staff and great location, it was so nice eating outside. Thanks !! It was perfect.
Wish I read the reviews before coming. Here’s my experience. The service had an attitude, the coffee is pretty bad and my almost $20 croissant should probably be worth $5 at most. I placed my order to go and asked for extra ketchup, the girl looks at me like I just asked her for a huge favor, she paused and goes “we are not supposed to do that but sure”. lol seriously? What kind of place is this??. Anyways, just look at the picture of my $20 croissant lol.
Edit: I am not interested in a refund thanks. Just stating my experience so that hopefully customer service gets improved (and better quality of products). Seems customer service really is an issue specially after reading many of the ones on yelp. Have a good day.
This place is a fake. No one spoke French nor understood when I asked for common French patisserie items. The patisserie items I did buy left a LOT to be desired. They were tasteless and not made properly or with the right ingredients. They were at least relatively fresh. If you've never been to a real French patisserie, you probably won't mind the place. Everyone else, BEWARE.
We had a lovely lunch at the French Cafe! The food was plentiful and rich. A real nice experience. Our server Alex was extremely helpful! Thank you guys.
The ability to speak French isn’t required. Tucked away in the massive UTC 4 corner mall madness complex is a small slice of France. Stopped for lunch but ended up ordering a delicious Eggs Benedict on a melt-in-your-mouth, buttery croissant with salmon. OMG it was amazing!
Will need to go back to drool over the back goods.
We have lived in Lakewood Ranch for two years, and we have never stepped into this place. I cannot believe how it has transported me to feeling like I’m in a little bistro in Paris itself! The service was impeccable and friendly food was just extraordinary! We will be back again. It’s already one of my favorite places, it has many gluten-free options also so I can’t wait to bring my daughters here!
Great place to eat with good portions .
I enjoy my expresso and a pastry, they also have very nice wine tasting dinner experience once a month, need reservations for those they fill in quick. Good fresh ingredients used in all their dish. Definitely a French atmosphere with the French being spoken behind the counter. A taste of France in Sarasota.
