Maison Parisienne - French Café Clark St

Came in for the first time today and I have to say, what an amazing find. Not only is the ambiance and environment absolutely cute and calming, it completely encapsulates a Parisian flair. The menu was wonderful, and the almond croissant, may have been the best I’ve ever had in my life. Highly recommend if you’ve never been.

This was my first time at a French Cafe and I am quite impressed. The location was well decorated. The almond croissant and tomato/goat cheese quiche were good but the items were quite expensive. I had to pay around $11 for quiche which is quite high. An extra fee for adding caramel in iced latte and 3% fee was unnecessary.

It’s beautiful and a taste of Paris inside with croissants and jams and honey. There’s art and pretty decorative French inspired French adornments. Lots of nice tables to enjoy snacks and drinks. The only thing was it was freezing in there on a Saturday afternoon 9/13/2025 it’s 74 degrees outside and it felt like 65 degrees in there. They could save energy bills and keep it at 72 degrees bc it’s more than comfortable that way.

So good!!! I don’t know how this place doesn’t have a line out the door. Was going to the bagel place next door but saw their croissants in the window and had to come in here instead…Sunday morning & we were the only ones in there. It’s the coziest little place & the croissants were some of the best I’ve ever had. The smell of the pastries baking hits you while you walk in & it’s amazing. Very kind workers as well. Would recommend to anyone

Upscale French pastry shop. Landed here after spotting laminated doughs and actual open seats thru the window (a rarity in this part of town). Pastries were delicious and coffee middling, both a dollar or so more than usual. Decor was entirely overdone in a fun way. Worth a stop
