We just had brunch at this place and it was disappointing. Freshly squeezed orange juice tasted and looked like store bought Tropicana juice. Crepes were not fresh but stale and tasteless. For a $104 total bill, we were charged $125.24 (they say 20% tip for parties of 5 or more, but it seemed we were charged more than 20% gratuity) plus an additional 3.99 credit card fee. read more

This place is the go to place if you don't have the money to go to Paris! Jokes apart, Cafe Paris is an upscale modernly decorated cozy cafe with Parisian vibe! I ordered Lamb Provencal with mashed Potatoes. The lamb was very succulent. Immediate fell in love with it. Mashed potatoes could have been better, but i didn't care much as i was already in heaven with my juicy lamb! My girlfriend orders butternut squash soup and galette, and she loved it. I want to go again to try out their crepes and galettes. read more

Nice spot for brunch in Metuchen. I've seen this place for years and wanted to try. Inside is adorable and decorated like a French cafe. I got a blt on a croissant which was delicious! Croissant was perfect. We also got macarons for dessert which were amazing. I would come back. read more

CHECK YOU RECEIPTS AND TIP ACCORDINGLY. Food was good. Strolled in late Saturday evening with wife and two kids. After we ate, kids were tired so I thought none of it to look over the check since we were paying cash and were a small group. Well, it was the next day when I realized that my @$60 bill ballooned into almost $100. How? Alone with the 4 sandwiches, 2 hot cocoa, 2 coffees and our own calculated tip, 18% tip was automatically added on to our check with the actual total scribbled off of existence. VERY DECEIVING PRACTICE that ruined my experience that I will never go to this location again. And if I do, I will make sure to look over my check. read more

Had lunch there today & was very disappointed. Had eaten there several times before & was happy with food & service. Today I was not. The quiche I ordered had a strange, tough, semi-crust & it was over cooked & dry. The side of fresh fruit had very unripe fruit. The door to the cafe was open the whole time while were there & it was freezing !! When I asked if they could close the door for a bit & was told no. I could see if it was 80 degrees outside like yesterday but today it was overcast & only around 60 degrees. Lastly, when the check came, they automatically added a 18% tip even tho we were only a party of 2 people !! They actually cheated themselves because I usually tip 20% when I eat out. Will not be back. read more

Tried this place last night after we had dinner across the street. I understand it was 8:40 and place closed at 9 pm. We would have preferred being told not to sit that it was too late, as opposed to what happened. Coffee came fast as did desserts . Worst crepe I have ever had . Was so hard I could barely cut it. Tasted like it had been made hours ago. Server basically was removing stuff from the table item by item as we are eating .The topping on the cake was when we were finishing our coffee and he shut off ALL the lights inside and out . Terrible . Never going back nor would I recommend .... read more

I used to love Paris Cafe and eat here regularly but my most recent experience has given me a change of heart. I ordered food for delivery in the middle of busy work day. I work from home and decided to go to the clubhouse in my apartment complex to get work done because I have 2 year old at home. I ordered from Paris because in the past they've been consistently good and I was shocked at what was delivered. The soup was missing almost half the cup, the sweet potato fries were super soggy and stuck together, the weren't any utensils in the bag, so I had no way to eat the soup, and there wasn't a ketchup packet in sight. This is what $21 at Paris Cafe gets you. When I called the manager to let her know, she seemed like she could careless. She said I can come pick up the other half cup of soup, which wasn't an option since I don't have a car at the moment. I explained that to her and she basically said it's not her problem. Now I'm desperately in search of spoon so I can eat the portion of the soup they delivered. This is not how you treat people, loyal customers, or anyone for that matter. I most certainly will not be back read more

The food was great but I was extremely disappointed in their sneaky tactic with tipping. For any size table they included 18% tip. They don't tell you and then on the receipt list how much you should tip. I am sure people double tip over 50% of the time! Bad business practice... read more

Had a great meal here , expecially the chai latte and probably the best carrot cake I've ever had ! Will be back!

The food was great- omelettes and sandwiches were excellent. The servers were also very nice and they take reservations!

Relatively average experience. The potatoes in my omelette were a little undercooked. Iced coffee was on the weak side. The service was fair. They add a 4% fee for usage of a credit card which I found annoying. read more

Cafe Paris is a quaint little restaurant nestled on Metuchen's Main Street. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the beautiful atmosphere. The climate is the ultimate spot for a casual breakfast date with your S.O or a for catching up with a friend. We came on a weekday, but I would imagine that this place gets busy on the weekend - somewhat limited seating, but well worth the wait! The menu was extensive and had options for just about everyone ranging from savory to sweet! Being a vegetarian who doesn't eat eggs, it's RARE that I find a brunch spot that offers more than the usual sugary treats (pancakes and waffles) so I loved being able to switch it up with something savory. I was very satisfied with my Sandwich Au Fromage and the boyf thought his Omelette Au Bacon was delicious! We caved and also ordered the Crepe Chocolat D'Amour #NoSelfControl - but sooo worth all those extra calories. I like crepes, but I wouldn't say I love them - but I certainly loved this one... probably the best crepe I've had in my life. Oh, and the cherry on top... my fellow espresso lovers, you are in for a treat. I recommend the Cappuccino Liegeois if you enjoy caramel and chocolate - it's rich and not overly sweet! Can't wait to come back! read more

Passed by and decided on a whim to go in and have a great but ended up wishing i didn't. Food was so underwhelming. Crepe felt stale like it was made ahead of time then placed together when i ordered it was not fresh and super gummy. Chocolate cake felt like it was bought wholesale and sold in store and soup lacked so much flavor felt like baby food. Service was disappointing as well. Won't be coming back read more

Took my folks for brunch here on a rainy day. While the wait is normally pretty long on busy weekends, I was surprised to get a table so effortlessly. Only real critique if any would be that their savory galettes came out a bit too salty for our taste. The warm cider (especially on a cold day) really made up for it! read more

This is a pit stop everyone must take in the morning. The caffeine filled drinks are delicious, and the décor is very cute, and the service is always available. It is a great place to get cozy with a hot cup of coffee, your laptop, and a focus on ANYTHING. Cozy, busy, and delicious place located in a quaint little downtown area of NJ. read more

I loved Café Paris! We had dinner at this adorable little place in an adorable little town. We loved everything about our experience. The room is charming. It felt like a sweet warm cafe they could actually be in Paris. The table centerpieces and room decor was sweet. Our server was so sweet and helpful. She was quite busy but always remained focused. Our soup, salad, warm bread, dessert and lattes were sooo delicious. Everything was homemade and so fresh. If I lived in that town I'd eat there everyday! read more

One of the worst French food I have ever had. Croque monsieur that I ordered was pathetically dry and insipid. Iced caramel latte was just milky sugar water, did not taste any coffee in it. What an awful experience I had! It's also overpriced, especially giving how bad the food is. The service was also so so. read more

Avocado toast was horrible. It was served on white bread, not toasted at all, the avocado was just thrown on the plate. The avocado was rotten and had black spots on it. Very overpriced as well. I do not recommended going here. read more

Pretty disappointed with the food here. We only ordered desserts, as we had eaten right beforehand. We got the Oreo mousse pie and a creme brûlée. The mousse had a weird gelatin texture--almost like jello, and the crumb and topping almost had no taste. It was hard to discern any taste in this pie actually, and wouldn't have known it was Oreo except for looking at it. The creme brûlée didn't have the hard sugar topping, so can it really be considered creme brûlée? Instead, it had a caramel sauce with hard sugar pieces in it. Not a fan, I wish we would've passed on this place. read more

I ordered for pickup, ambiance inside is great, would like to dine in once the pandemic subsides. My sandwich however was not what I expected, I ordered a Sandwich au Steak, and it was a Philly cheesesteak in a pita bread. Tasted fine just not what I expected from a french cafe, I should've called first. read more

Came here for brunch with a friend. The brunch menu is served through out the day. It turned out to be a gorgeous day so we were seated outside. The homemade tools, croissants and soups are delicious. Make sure to try them. They also serve sweet and savory crepes ( Galettes ) and varieties of quiches. Best of all it's BYOB. We brought a bottle of Bellini to have with brunch! read more

Came in here for a mid week brunch with a friend and got to know the wonderful owner Leticia while I waited. It's awesome to see an authentic Parisian restaurant in Metuchen. It's beautiful inside with stunning artwork on the walls. I got a crepe which tasted awesome as well as a French Vanilla Latte and Matcha Latte which were both great. I also got a free piece of apple pie with the new customer offer and it was AMAZING. I highly recommend checking this place out !! read more

Love this place! I started going to the Cranford location years ago and recently started going to this one. I've been here a few times this year. I always have the chicken sandwich with chicken, peppers and mozzarella cheese. The I share a Nutella and strawberries crepe and sometimes a nutty cappuccino at the end. Sooo good! If the weather is nice I like to eat outdoors. read more

Upon arrival we were seated and waited about 14 minutes for our waiter to ask us what we wanted. She had no facial expression. My two friends ordered waffles topped with strawberry and wanted a side of eggs. They charged us two meals ($23). A gratuity was charged @18% for a check over 50. We called ahead to ask if they had bottomless brunch (did not), but were able to bring our own champagne. THEY CHARGED US $26 for a pitcher of orange juice! WITHOUT MENTIONING it. Who would pay $26 for a pitcher of orange juice?! Oh and they gave me fries that resemble McDonalds $1 menu fries. Our bill totaled $94 among 3 individuals. All in all, this was the worst service along with the most nonlogical bill. Don't bother coming for brunch! read more

Took my relatives there for lunch. Was disappointed in the side of fruit salad. Besides being small, the fruit was supposed to be fresh but the strawberries were frozen (and defrosting). Rest of the food ok. I always get the fruit as my side and have never gotten frozen fruit at any places I have gone to. read more

The Good: the quiche and fries were pretty good, nothing that will blow your taste buds away though... The Bad (billing): OK this is where I really get annoyed, why are you hand writing receipts? Especially if you hand writing sucks?! I mean what year are we in? How have you not upgraded your business to print receipts that are legible and clearly show you what you ordered? Restaurants that still give handwritten bills should not be in business. Just take a look at the picture of the bill that I was given. The Bad (food): I tried the chocolate cake was dry and stale like it had been sitting out for a week, when i took my first bite I realized that it was probably the worst cake I've ever had BUT I was wrong, the worst cake/pie I have ever tried (literally the worst cake) was their pecan pie, it was literally disgusting, it is like a giant glob of jam/jelly with pecans on top (look at the pictures for details). The Bad (interior): the place itself is nice (when you strip away all of the ornaments) looks like a cluttered mess. It is "decorated" with way too many trinkets/tchotchkes. Do you really need that many eiffel tower ornaments? The funny part is that no cafe in Paris looks like this. Avoid this place, there are SEVERAL of other restaurants in Metuchen and the surrounding areas. read more

took a while to get our menus while seated, but overall i enjoyed the experience. I got the prosciutto mozzarella and it was really good, I added a little more salt to the tomato in it, but I loved it. The crepe royale needed more nutella in my opinion, and was a little chewy. The hot french vanilla latte was delicious as well. read more

The food was ok but they charge what ever they want. Posted on the menu was a notice of a extra 18% added for orders over 50 dollars.. my order came to 49 dollars and I was still charged a extra 10 on my bill. The waitress said that she charges everyone extra. I will not come back and don't recommend this cafe. read more

Boo boo boo What a shame of a place, my first ever one star and if there were less I would have used that. Not sure where to start, dirty dishes, dirty glass, rudest host who asked my wife to wash the glass in the bathroom. Despicable food, another first after the "dinner" we had to go to another restaurant for a real dinner. Hopefully we did not get sick. Some restaurants should not exist. Please do NOT encourage them by visiting this place. Do NOT go. read more

I thought this cute cafe spot was really cute very Frenchie in regards of decoration. I went to this place because of a family event and I thought the food was good and the desserts were very tasty.

Food: 4/5 Ordered the steak sandwich (thinly sliced steak, American cheese, and grilled onions) on whole grain bread. It was delicious! Wasn't blown away by it, but it tasted great. Tasted like a philly cheese steak- they were generous with the steak and the bread was so soft and toasted perfectly. They also gave you a choice of fresh fruit, salad, or fries as a side and their portions were huge! Opted for the fries and they filled half the plate and were thin and crunchy. Service: 3/5 The waiters weren't the friendliest but they weren't rude, so it's fine. My suggestion is that a smile here and there to your customers goes a long way. Ambience/decor: 4/5 It's decorated really cutely inside- their walls have paintings of Paris all over and have a mini Eiffel Tower in the corner. Very cute cafe. Although for some reason, you will walk out of their smelling like food. --- Overall, I had a good experience here. I would go back and try a different sandwich (maybe the crab cake sandwich). read more
