Cafe Paris - Strawberry and banana crepe - French Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

Breakfast was sort of expensive and not the quality I expected. I ordered the french toast which needed up being individual slices like the frozen style you buy at the store. And their "large coffee" is really just an 6oz mug. Super disappointed read more

Delicious omelette.. Croissant was amazing, cappuccino also great.. Definitely will come back for dessert.. read more

A quaint charming authentic French cafe with delectable "French" cafe items. The atmosphere is cute plus the place plays ooh la la French cafe music. This is a great place for lunch or brunch, not for dinner. They even have a kids menu. I'm all about the crepes and the crepes were large portions stuffed generously of whatever items you want like nutella, raspberries, strawberries with their homemade berry sauce plus the whipped cream. Oh I'm in heaven! so many crepe choices! If they have those French colorful macaroons....even better but shucks, they don't offer them at this cafe. Another signature item of this cafe is their offering of milky drinks and espresso drinks. The almond joy cappucino is sooooo good...at first you may think it's sugar overload with the flavors but I told them to lighten up the taste and it was wonderfully smooth and delicious! Tried the crab-asparagus soup - it looks more like an eggdrop soup..there was crab and white asparagus but not what I expected...if they did it bisque style, it would have been better. I also tried the spinach quiche and it's okay, not extraordinary. I think I will stick with the crepes next time. Oh... just thinking those crepes again...I'll be back for sure. read more

Pretty good crepes...place has an exhaustive menu...a little over priced. French are known for their limited selections and subtle flavor profile...not quite here not bad but not great either.. my wife loved the hot choc read more

Came in for lunch on a Sunday. We were 2 of 4 people in the place and the waitress/possible owner didn't greet us or come to our table for 10 minutes.. Besides that everything was very good.. The milkshakes and smoothies are a must.. Spend the extra dollar for the large ones.. We both ordered omelets and were both very happy.. Its a two egg omelet and its huge so its mostly filling inside.. Very fresh ingredients. I will be back to try other items if I'm ever in the area again.. read more

Cafe Paris - #5 & #6 Omelets and a Peach Strawberry Smoothie,.. - French Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

I have read all reviews and decided to try for myself. Had Crepe with Nutella, strawberries and ice-cream, pretty good taste, a little dry, portion was sufficient, but price... 10.99$, that's definitely overpriced. My girlfriend had galette with ground turkey and spinach, was pretty good, galette is made from buckwheat, portion was large enough but price again was on higher side. Waitress was nice but the service was very slow despite only 2 tables with clients. I would probably go again but not for crepes, hard to swallow a sweet crepe for 11$... read more

So sad to have to update my previous review on this place. Not worth the 5 stars I previously gave this location. The service is not as attentive and the salads taste like dirt. As if they were never washed and just picked and put on a plate. read more

We just stopped in for a coffee and desert! The Crapes are made fresh decadently sweet. We had the peach and strawberries crape that is served with ice cream. It completely hit the spot!!! read more

Overpriced and the crepes were really cold by the time they came out. The place is cute for a date, but I can get better crepes anywhere in the city for a lot cheaper. read more

Cafe Paris - Not worth the $10+ price tag. - French Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

I used bubble tea app to find the closest place to my location and cafe Paris came up. My kids wanted strawberry slush, one with bubbles. Unfortunately they fell short in every area. The cups were small and more expensive than the large cups I've gotten at most places. The slush itself was only decent and my daughter got so few tapioca bubbles that they might as well not have put any in. Guess I have to stick to Asian places to get any good bubble tea. read more

I came here at 9 as it was closing but the workers were very nice and seated us down. Great staff and delicious crepes! read more

Cafe Paris - French Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

Really cute decor. And the crepes are delicious and the only reason I go to this place. One star off because the other menu items are just ok and customer service can be a bit lacking read more

Well if the server serves you a large latte when you ask for a small, and she doesn't admit her mistake, what should you do? Apparently this server, perhaps owner, would have only charged you for small if she agreed she made the mistake. you have a witness that heard you order a small, but no, this owner was apparently disappointed that you didn't order any food and was determined to get the most she could from you as the place was empty when you sat down.. Only wanted small because it was evening and we asked if there was more than one shot of expresso in the large (after she served it by mistake) & she said no but one wonders with the caffeine buzz you had on the way home if she was telling the truth. I would not go there again for these reasons. Server in attentive to the correct order and perhaps lied about how much espresso in the large. read more

My wife and I went here for Sunday brunch and we enjoyed it. The decor was nice and felt cosy. They put a lot attention to the details like adding real size paintings and real mural painted on the side wall. It looks like a mom and pop shop with 2 or 3 people working. Expect the wait a bit longer but it wasn't terribly long. The food was satisfactory. I had the aparagus and crab soup which was homemade. It tasted pretty fresh and nothing artificial or packaged about it. I had the spinach omelet and goat cheese. All pretty satisfying. The taste wasn't extra ordinary since it's only an omelet and soup. Overall decent food for the price. read more

This is really nice little restaurant in Cranford with a lot of good options. I had an omelette and salad both were really fresh. The people I were with got desserts and they looked really good! Would recommend. read more

Just okay, not worth the money spent. I got a spinach quiche that was bland and very watery. I think that it was microwaved. The interior was cute but don't think I'll be back. read more

There are two Café Paris one in metuchen and one in Cranford, I have to say this one is the lesser of the two. They have different menus and focus more on Spanish style food here. I found the service poor, the food not so good and just the overall decor not as appealing. I go to the one in metuchen often but I won't be back to this one. read more

The atmosphere and aesthetic is nice but I wouldn't recommend the bubble milk tea. It was more of a milkshake and became chunky quickly.

I hate to give Cafe Paris such a low rating, but there are two reasons for the justification: a. overpriced in comparison to overall quality, b. a long piece of hair that was found in our food; last time I checked the menu, I didn't see 'Hairy Blueberry Crepe' under the desert section. When I told the server about what I found, she was extremely apologetic about the mishap, and not only provided a replacement, but a complimentary croissant. The effort was there, but I wish it was right the first time. Overall, I thought the crepe was OK, nothing that I feel like I would need to come back On the positive side, the Omelette Au Saumon Fume (2 eggs omelette with smoked salmon, asparagus, goat cheese, and fresh spinach) was delicious! If I could, I would have ordered three of them bad boys. I would easily come back for the omelette. I would maybe consider coming back to Cafe Paris if I was Metuchen, but not anytime soon. read more

What a cute little spot! I loved the decor, it took us out of Cranford and straight to a small cafe in France. Our coffees were so good and apple crepe was delicious. For lunch we had sandwiches, I had the tuna and my husband had roast beef, not bad at all for a quick lunch or a Sunday afternoon. We will visit again! read more

Quaint little cafe excellent service the food was so so but I enjoyed my time and there was no rush I would think better for breakfast then lunch read more

Came here with my boyfriend after we had a late lunch elsewhere since we were both craving crepes. Given our favorite place is in Asbury Park and seasonal, we decided to come here for some dessert and coffee. The restaurant is very cute and small and given it's called "Cafe Paris" I thought they would have just a few sandwiches and crepes but their menu is actually pretty extensive. The place was pretty empty on a late Sunday when we went in. I must say it's super adorable inside and the owner? (I'm assuming it was her) came over with our menus. I got a nutella and banana crepe and my boyfriend a peanut butter and strawberry jam one. He also got a bubble tea - who knew they would make these?!?! - and I a coffee. The crepes came out pretty quickly and so did my boyfriend's bubble tea, which was more of a green tea bubble milkshake smoothie. It was pretty delicious and we were both happy with our crepes. I want to give this place more of a 3.5 star because it was pricey (paid $30 before tip) but I'll round up because I liked the atmosphere. I'm not sure I would make this place a habit but more of a once in a while treat. read more

Cafe Paris - Cute! - French Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

My friends and I go out every Sunday for bubble tea and we try a diffrent location every week. Very nice ambiance and wait staff. Unfortunately, this has been the worst bubble tea we've had so far. The taste is off and the worst part were the tapioca pearls. Hard like marbles. I really doubt they were cooked at all. Very disappointing, especially taking into account the hefty $6 price per drink. read more

I've been here a few times since moving the Cranford over seven years ago, but it's best described as "meh" IMHO. The food is adequate (portions are on the smaller side), but the lukewarm, indifferent service from the staff has been a deal breaker that just makes me completely forget about this place. I think the focus here is catering to the long-time patrons that give them great reviews because I don't see anything here that remotely resembles an authentic Parisian bistro or creperie. I will say that the omelets & breakfast specials are better than other breakfast options in the nearby area, so there's that. Maybe the Metuchen location is better, but certainly not going out of my way to find out. read more

Amazing that anyone could think this is French anything! Had dinner with several friends to a disappointing experience. The cassoulet was poorly prepared and not freshly made. Everything had been pre-cooked and just put together in either a microwave or preheated. I was polite not to complaint since the person who recommended the place was with us. Steak was unseasoned, chicken dish was also heated up and salmon was not eatable. Onion soup is probably better from a can than their version. Tepid and oily with not bread or cheese in sight! Wow and they call it French ? There are no redeeming qualities about this place Cest domage... TRUTH BE TOLD! read more

Again, I am mystified that this place has any good reviews. Met friends there for brunch on a Sunday. I got the "Grilled" chicken sandwich. First off, that chicken was boiled, not grilled. There was absolutely no seasoning on it. The bread was good, but the sandwich was utterly bland and tasteless. I also got a "large" mochaccino, which was $6 for a regular sized cup. The small must be tiny. The crepe we shared tasted burned. The woman running the restaurant appeared to be doing everything herself, including the cooking. The food was disappointing, and pretty expensive. We'll go someplace else next time. read more

I'm giving 2 stars because my crepe tasted somewhat good. But the experience detracted a lot. I think that the wait staff are told to be "Parisian" and rude to contribute to the ambiance. I am conversant in French and my have not experienced such rudeness even in Paris. The hostess rushed us, rolled her eyes when I asked for a high chair for my 2 year old, and wasn't helpful at all when we asked her anything at all. Also, the other Cafe Paris in Metuchen is the same way!! Rude people working there. guess we'll just have to eat crepes at home. I highly recommend La Grainne in NYC. Very polite, great food and atmosphere. read more

Such a cute place!! I had the tuna sandwhich which was really good and a hazelnut flavored cappuccino. Owner was friendly as well as the atmosphere. I will be back :) read more

Came here for brunch a few weeks ago, and had a great meal. Their croissants literally melt like butter in your mouth. Their latte is also delicious, and their cheesy quiche is super yummy. The place is so much cuter inside than I would have guessed based on the outside. The service is friendly, and the price is right! read more

The crepes are tasty. The galletes and homemade soup (Pea Soup especially) just delicious. The coffee is very bitter and croissants are surprisingly stale (best go to &grain for those). They never open at 10am. Ever. It's always 10:20-10:30. I assume this is part of the Parisian experience not sure but once you do get in the soup, galletes and crepes are a worthy experience (Or as my husband says in his Hangry state - sufficient). read more

This was the first time I had been to Cafe A Paris in Cranford, NJ. It is a cute little bistro with average decor. I was dissapointed mostly by two things. First they do not have french press coffee but have two french presses sitting on top of their coffee makers. Second was the paper napkins and no water offered unless asked for it. The food is really good. I ordered a Smoked Turkey Gallette with a side salad. The balsamic dressing was very strong and didn't mix well with the sweetness of the main dish. My gf and her mother had french toast and crepes that were delicious. The price is a little high for a small bistro but the amount of food for each dish is plenty. The wall decor is a french themed hodgepodge of wallpaper. Overall a decent spot for good food. I would go back for a quick Sunday brunch. read more

This cafe is awful please do not go there and waste your money. If you do go here the only thing they sell that is actually worth your money is the crepes don't order anything else. My mom got the quiche once and she has never sent food back in her life but she did this time it was that bad. She took one bite and it was rubbery and definitely old and when the waitress came to take it away she did not care to know the problem at all. A different time I went for my friends birthday dinner and I got chicken nuggets and a side of fruit it was 5 chicken nuggets and they were the frozen dinosaur chicken nuggets you buy in packages and a tiny bowl of like 7 pieces of little fruit for $9. Yes it is very cutely decorated but that isn't as important as the food quality at a restaurant. I don't suggest going here unless you want a mediocre crepe. read more

Went here for a birthday Brunch and was disappointed. The biggest similarity to Paris and the restaurant was the service. There was only one waitress for the entire cafe, and even though it wasn't busy it was extremely hard to get her attention. She even had the "I am doing you a favor" look down. Food was alright and nothing to write home about. What was notable was the high prices compared to the quality. Won't be going back here again. read more

I went today with my parents for brunch. The walls were very nicely painted and French music playing in the background. Our table was chipped in some places and the menus looked a little old. I found it to be overpriced. The service is slow and the food was good but for it's price, you could definitely go somewhere else with bigger portions and a cheaper price. It was pretty cold in there but I get cold easily and it was raining outside. It must be really nice to come here during the summer though. I noticed their tables and seats set up outside. My mom said 4.5 and my dad said 3.5. That's an a average of 4 and I just took off a point for the price. read more

Such a shame. This place could be good if the owner and waitress attended to the cleanliness of the utensils. I've been here twice and both times there was leftover residue on the utensils which happened to be so neatly wrapped in a napkin. How that goes unnoticed I don't know but it definitely ruins your appetite. read more

Been here twice, both times were a disappointment and the last time I got violently ill. The place has a nice decor and seems like they would turn out quality food, but looks can be deceiving.... As I learned the hard way. read more

Love it. Great onwner, authentic as Paris can get in the US.

Overpriced you pay ten dollars for ONE crepe with some jelly in it. And they aren't even the best crepes or fillings I've ever had. Good quiche and flavored iced teas. I had been going there periodically, but one night a waitress took my order wrong (brought me a bowl instead of a cup of soup and charged me for her error); I let that go. Then, in the same visit, my guest had accidentally spilled her cappuccino while she was stirring it and when I asked for it to be replaced, the waitress charged us for that too. When I asked the waitress why we were charged for two cappuccinos, her reply was that she didn't spill the drink. That was the last time I went there because we were the only two people in the place, spending over $60 on pancakes and a few other things, but the owner, who was was within earshot, said nothing even though we were upset. They lost two good customers and their food isn't even impressive enough to give it another chance. Go to IHop for a crepe, they taste the same, you get more than one and they are 1/4 of the price.... oh and you'll get nicer service! . read more
