Mon Petit Cheri

Mon Petit Cheri in Stillwater has a charming atmosphere—easily one of the reasons my wife and I keep coming back. It’s warm, inviting, and a great place to linger over a slow morning or a quiet lunch. We’ve eaten here dozens of times, mostly because the vibe is that good. That said, the food itself can feel a bit overpriced for what you get. The portions are generous, but they lean heavily on carbs, which can make the meals feel a little unbalanced. If you’re looking for great ambiance, this place delivers. If you’re looking for value or a lighter menu, it can be hit or miss. Still, it’s a solid spot for the atmosphere alone—and that’s what keeps pulling us back.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, they all deserve a raise. Aesthetically a really cute space. Portions were great, I really liked the avocado tartine, the coffee was amazing, bread was so fluffy, but I would appreciate if the seasoning went past salt and pepper. My friend thought the vegetable soup of the day was delicious. Definitely a delightful place for people with slightly different palates than mine.

I have been here multiple times and had 2 very different experiences. The first time, there was little to no line, the staff were friendly, and the food came out fast. The last time I was there, I was with someone who had a peanut allergy. When they asked if anything was peanut free, the staff said “I think it is” and then did not double check with anyone and was very uncertain. They decided not to get anything, because the staff could not 100% confirm it was peanut free, which was a disappointment after waiting in line for 25 minutes. The food is good, but it would be nice to have more transparency about allergens in the food.

We stopped in hoping they had a vegan option. No vegan baked goods but we were so impressed with the counter help. She said that one of the side dishes is already completely vegan so we ordered that, a zucchini, carrot and lentil hash- it was delightful. Excellent flavor and a healthy way to start the day. We also ordered a dirty chai and the employee said she would make it by hand (without complaints) because the mix they use has dairy. It was really thoughtful and delicious. Atmosphere is adorable. Great location downtown Stillwater

We ordered 2 farmers breakfast, beignets and 2 coffee drinks, our total was 60. The food was decent but not worth the price. The bacon was really good. Eggs and potatoes were nothing special of note. My chai had great cinnamon but not much of any other flavor. The beignets were a total let down- they were a heavy fried bread with a dusting of powdered sugar. The bread options provided some redemption as both our sourdough and the rosemary biscuit were delightful with the jam served. Seating is first come first serve with not a lot of options so you may need to take an order to go.
