    Coffee menu
    Johnny L.

    I was getting my car detailed and decided to come here to pass the time. Not sure why there are so many 1 star reviews here as the twice baked croissant is pretty good and iced latte is decent and refreshing with a good coffee taste. This is a great place to do some work and chairs are pretty comfortable with some trendy music. The cashier is nice and service is fast. If I get my car detailed and have to wait again, I'll definitely come back.

    Cinnamon roll was delicious. Business is clean and baby friendly. I stayed here a lot longer because they had a baby changing station inside the bathroom. I was getting my car fixed and the shop told me 4-5 hours. Had no idea what I was going to do with a 3 month old. I kept ordering food and drinks. Haha. Definitely would come back!

    Bad quiche Lorraine. Too salty and the bacon is undetectable!

    Prices are sky high for miniature pastries and $25 for a small salad is ridiculous. These folks need to understand supply and demand. Lowering prices a bit can increase volume and therefore increase revenue.

    This place was really cute! I came here after going on a long walk through the arboretum. I was pretty hungry for lunch so i went with the turkey baguette sandwich. I also had a matcha latte. The bread was very good and I enjoy the sandwich , which had a nice amount of thinly sliced turkey and some savory spread. Unfortunately the matcha latte was a bit weak and seemed watery. Not as creamy as I would have liked. I also like that they have mini croissants so you can just get a small one instead of a big regular croissant. Since it's a French place, I had to try one! I would recommend their pastries as the croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery! The service was good! They brought my food and drink out to me.

    The pastries were pretty good. I liked the cheesey one I got and the strawberries and cream cookie too. The macaroon was also nice. The matcha however was probably the most poorly made I've had, which was a huge bummer. The powder was just kinda dumped in and barely stirred. The ambiance was fine and I sat on the patio for a moment to eat one of my pastries. The service was kinda mixed. The first person who was helping me while I was deciding punched out and left without communicating that they didn't take my order. The other person didn't realize, but eventually asked if I was waiting on something. He took my order when I communicated the misunderstanding, and apologized with a free macaron, which I appreciated. I might come back for bakery but not a drink.

    Cinnamon crème brioche and raspberry almond croissant
    Daniel S.

    Belle Epicurean is simultaneously one of the worst and most expensive bakeries I've ever been to. I tried the Cinnamon Crème Brioche Bun and the Raspberry Almond Croissant. The Brioche Bun was terrible. It's a bun with a little bit of a sugary cinnamon topping. The bread was dry and stale. It tasted like it was day-old. The cinnamon topping had a slight gross taste to it, hard to describe just mildly unpleasant. The croissant was similarly quite dry and not very tasty. It was a shocking $9 for this small pastry. They were both bad enough that I didn't bother finishing either. The shop is a standard looking cafe with a little attached shop that sells specialty cooking goods. Based on how normal it looked I was really surprised by how bad the pastries were.

    Definitely drop by Belle Epicurean Bakery for the absolute cutest French bakery! The ambiance is very cute and the perfect place for a coffee date! It gets pretty busy and it's a little small so definitely get there a bit earlier on the weekend. I got there around 10AM on a Saturday and had to wait in line for a little but was still able to grab a seat. There's also parking in the back of the store so that's very convenient or there's street parking all around. They do both to-go and for-here orders. I was catching up with a friend so we ordered for-here. Since it was a Saturday, I thought I'd treat myself to a latte. I ordered a hot latte with toffee syrup. To be honest, I couldn't taste the flavor but maybe it was just light. I do love strong coffee/espresso so it still tasted super good and perfectly warm. They also have an assortment of fresh bakery items. I got a lemon almond croissant which they kindly warmed up for me. It was super tasty, I'd highly recommend! The highlight of this place is the service and hospitality. The lady helping us with our food order was so sweet and engaging and just a delight to talk with! She let us know we could order our drinks at the register and she'll bring us out everything. She even recommended we grab a table while we were waiting in line since it was starting to get busy. Overall it was an absolute wonderful experience of atmosphere, food, and service! Highly recommend!

    Such a cute cafe and bakery next to the arboretum! The owner is so cute and welcoming. She has a warm presence ! They have delicious baked goods and pastries - sweet & savory. And also French sandwiches. Coffee, teas, & drinks are available. One thing I suggest is putting a drink menu up because I was unsure of what kind of drinks I was able to order. I was told they can pretty much make anything.

    Decent place to grab a quick bite. You can sit inside or outside and they have frozen entrees to take out that you can heat in your oven at home. Baked goods were tasty. Overall a good place to get a fast meal on the weekend.

    Pretty large, clean cafe. Very quick service, probably the best Almond Croissant I've ever had, I assume that's why it was $7.

    CAGETTE WINE BAR: WHERE CABERNET MEETS CABLE CROSSES…read more Listen, while other wine bars in Madison Valley are busy being pretentious about their French pronouns, Cagette has transformed itself into the Gold's Gym of grape juice. Their sommelier doesn't just wear a tastevin around his neck - he wears it WITH A WEIGHTLIFTING BELT. The wall of vintage Gold's Gym Venice Beach photos mixed with First Growth Bordeaux bottles is nothing short of INSPIRATIONAL. Arnold's famous posed double bicep shot is perfectly positioned between the Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Barolo section, creating what they call the "Pump & Pour" corner. Their wine flights are served on custom metal trays shaped like weight plates. The "Franco Columbu Collection" of Italian reds arrives on a mini bench press rack, and you have to complete three reps before they'll pour your Brunello. The dedication to the aesthetic is STAGGERING. You haven't lived until you've experienced their "Muscle Beach Merlot Mondays" where the sommelier spots you through a vertical tasting while shouting encouragement like "LIGHTWEIGHT BABY" and "AIN'T NOTHING BUT A PEANUT" between sips. Their wine descriptions include both tasting notes AND the optimal rep range for maximum gains. The "Lou Ferrigno Lounge" area features leather seats made from recycled weightlifting belts, and every wine glass has grip knurling. Their coasters are miniature versions of the original Gold's Gym logo, and they refuse to serve anything less than full-bodied wines because "light wines are for WIMPS." Their "Pumping Iron" wine club (which meets in what they call The Dungeon, a clear homage to the original Gold's basement) requires members to deadlift their wine allocation before taking it home. The sight of someone clean-and-jerking a case of Grand Cru Burgundy is both terrifying and beautiful. Five stars for creating a space where wine snobs and gym bros can finally coexist in perfect harmony. I've witnessed heated debates about both proper squat form AND proper wine storage temperature, often in the same conversation. P.S. Their "No Pain No Pour" policy seems strict, but you haven't lived until you've seen someone do burpees for a better pour of Barolo. P.P.S. The bathroom mirrors are positioned at optimal flexing angles, and the hand soap dispensers are shaped like dumbbells. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Note: This review was written while watching their sommelier demonstrate proper clean-and-jerk form using a methuselah of champagne as a training weight. Special Addendum: To the customer who complained about the mandatory flex pose before entering the reserve wine room - this is about CULTURE, Karen. Final Thought: Never has there been a more perfect fusion of fine wine and fitness culture. It's like if Joe Weider opened a wine bar and Franco Columbu was the beverage director. Remember: Every wine glass comes with its own "PR" (Personal Record) tracking card, and yes, they do measure your wine lifting form. No kipping allowed on the Bordeaux pulls. Warning: Side effects may include excessive use of phrases like "crushing it," "lightweight baby," and "yeah buddy" while discussing vintage vertical tastings. P.P.P.S. Their new "Swole Somm Certification" program requires both blind tasting skills AND a minimum bench press requirement. As it should.

    A very cute, cozy and comfy cafe in Central District! That being said, good luck finding parking…read morefor this place as street parking gets atrociously full around most times of the day, including Friday night around 8pm. Back to my rave: this place is comfy and a great place to just sit in when it's chilly outside. There's a comfy couch near the entrance, many knickknacks strewn around the inside and it's brightly lit to the point where you feel like you're at home instead of a cafe. The owner of the place is very sweet and welcoming, and the pastries shown around the area looked so delicious. For this visit, my friend and I got the Thai green tea latte, key lime tea, egg tart and a slice of tiramisu crepe cake. The egg tart was warm and yummy, and quite big too so it has a mochi-like layer inside it. The tiramisu crepe cake had tons of layers of crepe and cream along with the tiramisu powder sprinkled on top. This was creamy, delightful and calming all around, that's how good this cake was! My key lime tea is a mix of Thai tea and fresh lime juice, and I'm surprised that neither part interfered with each other too much given one is sweet and the other relatively sour. The Thai green tea latte was just as great to drink. This place is so cozy and cute, and the owner gave us great service. When you do find parking, come here for some drinks and desserts, it'll be worth it!

On the bright side, there's a clean washroom, the space is small but cozy, and they have wifi plus available. Solid spot to lounge. Would consider coming back crossing my fingers for a crepe cake. Strawberry Snowie Frappe - it's a solid dessert. Very sweet and likely double blended because it's not super icy, rather the liquid collects at the bottom. However the icy blend at the top wasn't watery either, there was still some flavor. Overall, it was as expected, but a decent refresher on this street.

The mixed berry bingsu was my fave! The berries were fresh but the best part was the ice cream! Super flavorful and I loved the fruit syrup too. For both, the bingsu itself is very light in flavor and texture. It melts in your mouth and pairs well with the toppings, especially that sweetened condensed milk. I hope to come back to try other items soon!!
