★★★★★ 5.0 Marsalh Musaad · Jan 2026

Such a cute French cafe! We were visiting Old Pasadena and this place was recommended by a local couple, so we decided to try it. The owner was very welcoming and explained everything on the menu. She even offered vegetarian alternatives. The food was really good. We tried the avocado toast, croissant sandwich, and a pesto chicken sandwich. Out of the three, the pesto sandwich was the best and most savoury. The service was great and there was no wait.

Not an authentic French cafe the dishes are sparse I didn’t expect to have a “sandwich crouqe madame” or crepe with almost no Nutella lol and very overpriced. If you are looking for REAL French breakfast there are better places. One of the owners reached out and had a nonchalant mediocre response to my feedback which gives me an understanding to why his food is the same …Save your money.

Adorable French cafe with delicious coffee, food and the best canele I’ve ever had! Friendly service, great music and a warm, welcoming feel. Loved the small, sweet details like edible hearts and tiny French flags.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kimberly M · Sep 2025

Very cute outside dining area. Authentic French menu with delicious food. We went for breakfast which was great. You have to go early if you want a chocolatine (chocolate croissant) as they were already sold out at 10:30. Highly recommend this spot.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chris · May 2025

A perfect place to go if you want to start your day with an authentic 🇫🇷French-style brunch. The owner serves up delicious food, decadent desserts, and amazing teas(we tried the iced Notre Dame). The canelé was a standout—its crispy shell and soft interior had the perfect hint of sweetness, paired beautifully with a slightly bitter latte☕️.The croque madame featured buttery, crisp toast🍞 and a flawlessly runny egg, but the real surprise was the side salad: lightly dressed in tangy vinaigrette, it was so refreshing. Every detail felt thoughtful, from the flavors to the cozy ambiance. Highly recommend for a taste of Parisian mornings!
