Stopped by during a road trip and was surprised by how welcoming the atmosphere was. The servers are fast, attentive, knowledgeable of their pastries. Our server leo was amazing, gave us a grand tour of the pastries and recommended one of the most delicious crème brûlée. The pastries are not only beautiful but fresh and delicious too. My only complaint is that the food was too good I left completely stuffed and had to be practically rolled out the door. Definitely will be back!! read more

Cafe Parisian - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Went by for a early morning latte and pastry. Not a whole lot of options, but my latte was okay. Thank goodness they advised me to grab some extra sugar if i like my lattes sweet because it needed it. Had a pastry as well and it was great. I was expecting more options but the pastry was delicious! Also, the latte was made quickly and service was friendly. 16$ for latte and pastry. read more

Cafe Parisian - Pastry! Yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Great little cafe. Tip: Try to go early, you will get first dibs at the pastries and beat the rush. Really good coffee and the eggs in my omelette were the fluffiest I've had. They use a lot of their in house sourdough for sandwiches. Like the delicious chimichurri seasoned steak sandwich my kids split. If you get in early enough, try to cruffin (yes! croissant and muffin). The one we were lucky to get was stuffed with apples and topped with a creme. It was great with my latte. The place is small. When we got here around noon on a Sunday it was crowded. There were folks waiting outside and inside for the next table. We sat and waited in the passage way to the bathroom and storage. And it was tight as as staff tried to pull chairs and move through there to get to the store room or bathroom. It is nice if you can sit outside on a nice day, like it was on Sunday. The staff were nice and attentive, but I hope this place will slow down as it stays open longer. Similarly, since theyvhave linit d in house pastries...id Ben interested to see them bake more to meet the demand. We will prob be back. I'd bring my family here if they were in town and looking for that European cafe feel for sure. read more

What a great way to do Sunday! I cane Out of Mass totally starved and basic pancakes were not going to cut it. I was finally able to get back to this lovely cafe Bistro and had a great breakfast. I ordered the Steak Au Povrie with French fries. The steak was a healthy portion and it was cooked to my medium rare perfection. It was tender and tasty in its peppercorn gravy- so delicious! I could only eat half and got a to go box for the rest- because after all, I needed to have some dessert. I had the Charlotte Cake- if you like chocolate, this is the real deal. You can taste the high quality chocolate used in the ingredients. I washed it all down with a cappuccino containing a double shot of espresso- and let me tell you, the coffee was excellent. Do make a trip to check this place out and support El Paso businesses! Bon Jour! read more

I walked into the Cafe Parisian at 8:06AM (opens at 8:00) and a lovely smell of buttered croissants hit me square in the face. The waitress asked if i wanted an "order to go" or "dine in." I looked to the right, where the baked goods were displayed to see empty pastry displays... I chose to sit down. I do like a good cafe and always excited to try a new spot's treatment of coffee and espresso beans. The Cappuccino I ordered was a little weak but it came with cool artistic display or a leaf/flower on top. Not sure if it was the espresso bean or the execution.... so I ordered 3 shots of espresso with some whip cream to find out.... They don't have Whip Cream, but they do have heavy cream .... so they are kind of slacking, cause they could have whip cream very easily, but they told me they don't have a way to "whip" their cream... My three shot of espresso was served with a splash of heavy cream, and the same artistic design the cappuccino came with.... perhaps a one trick pony. I think they are missing an opportunity to really stand out as a French Cafe by only serving (on menu) Espresso, Americano, Cappuccino, and Latte'. There are so many other drinks they could serve that use espresso, like Flat White, Breve, Espresso con Panna, Macchiato, Cafe' Affogato, etc... Its not much of a stretch, and very easily achievable. The food is good. I ordered a Croque Madame which was basically a grilled cheese (gruyere) with Parisian ham and an egg on top served on sourdough. It came with a side of Tomato soup.. but I think the tomato soup was a bit watery.... Although maybe that's how they do it in France.... but I like my tomato soup creamy.... and i did find out that as i ate through the top layer of tomato soup, there was more of a puree below the surface and the soup was much more enjoyable.... Finally, we are in Cimmaron, and the cutlery was very "light" (reads cheap), i think they could use better utensils. The plates were fine though. Anyway, after all was said and done, I got my bill. After looking at the bill, I wondered if the reason the Cappuccino was weak, was because it only had 1 shot of espresso. I asked a waiter and he confirmed Cappuccinos come standard with one shot of espresso. The reason the single shot came to mind was because the way the charges were laid out on the receipt. $5 - Cappuccino $18 - Croque Madame $4 - Espresso $4 - Espresso $4 - Espresso $4 - Milk Yes, my three shots of espresso with a splash of Heavy Cream was a resounding $16! You would think if they were going to charge me $4 for milk, they would at least give me the rest of the glass. I don't blame the waitress for charging me that, but i do think management could do better with capturing small variations of drink choices. Please add more espresso drink choices. read more

I've never been for a sit-down meal here, but have come by to pick up pastries multiple times, so that's what my review is based on. WOW, wow, wow - if you love a pastry, you truly have to go to Cafe Parisian and treat yourself. I have not had a pastry there that I haven't loved, but I think my favorite is the morning bun (bottom one in the picture) - it has nuts and a citrus sugar throughout it. Holy moly. Other pastries we've tried and loved: chocolate croissants (best if you warm them up just a touch!), stuffed specialty croissants (had one filled with pistachio cream which was very pistachio-forward but delicious nonetheless), and pastries with fruit (like the one in the top left of the photo - some sort of strawberry-filled item). Don't come here expecting a $3 pastry; I believe each one is closer to $8 or so. They're worth it, though. Get a few, sample them all, and thank me later. I've also gotten a latte sweetened with honey from Cafe Parisian and it was very tasty. They don't have any flavors or syrups for their espresso drinks, but if you want something other than a plain espresso drink, ask for a latte with honey and cinnamon and it will do you right. read more

As a French man I was excited to visit Cafe Parisian; unfortunately I was not impressed. The place is chaotic, there was no cafe latte as the machine was broken. No backup plan. Our food, two French omelettes were poorly executed, they had limited pastry and lacks a diversity of choices on what is a small menu. The service was slow and disorganized as the restaurant was packed. The ambiance on the other hand offers a nice brasserie like atmosphere with a pleasant French element that is omnipresent. Overall, a disappointing experience. No real croissant au beurre freshly made. Limited pastry choices, just decent French baguettes. But I am afraid that they really don't know how to cook a classic French omelette. Ce n'etait pas le top! read more

Okay, no photos because we were just stopping in quickly and I was hungry! Awesome aesthetic, great staff, baristas crushed it with their recommendations and final product! A latte that was perfectly made, I believe it was a Horchata latte (may be wrong I can't remember) and my wife got her favorite order (I should learn what it is )! Almond butter toast with fruit and granola, crushed it! My wife got a Kolaches with Jalapeños on top, and she loved it! It looked good if you're into that sort of thing. Staff were great, friendly and kept a clean place with a great vibe! I absolutely recommend, and I enjoy the nook of restaurants in that area! read more

Went to Cafe Parisian for lunch today and the onion soup was delicious!!!! My daughter ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup and she loved it. Their bread is out of this world and they used it for the sandwich and as croutons on my onion soup. We both ordered cappuccinos and as always, they were delicious. Can't leave without mentioning the amazing service and the incredible ambiance of this place. read more

Cafe Parisian - Steak and Eggs! ribeye cooked perfectly! So tender and juicy, and Rosé for good measure - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - El Paso, Texas

The young French pastry baker really was making some beautiful and the best most flavorful pastries I've ever enjoyed. Yes better than pastries in Paris. Our breakfast was over the top. You'll fall in love with this little cafe. read more

I found Cafe Parisian a couple of weeks ago after grabbing lunch nearby, and even though I was stuffed, I couldn't resist trying their chocolate croissant. It was amazing--super flaky, buttery, and just a perfect little treat. That first bite had me hooked, so I came back for a proper breakfast, and it did not disappoint! The vibe here is super cozy and cute, perfect for brunch. They're open till 3 PM and have three menus: breakfast, lunch, and a weekend brunch menu. You can order from the menu or pick something tasty from their display case. I tried the Croque Madame this time, and it was gorgeous! It came with a surprise side of tomato soup, which I was thrilled about because I've been craving some. The sandwich had a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg on top and was super filling. The soup was tangy with a unique touch of basil seeds. Both needed a little salt, but that's easy to fix with salt on the table. I also grabbed a freshly baked French baguette to take home. While the crust was a bit tougher than the ones in France, it was still really good. I love that we have a local spot offering French-style breads, tarts, croissants, and more. The decor is adorable, the service is great, and it's family-friendly, so it's a nice spot to relax. Parking is a bit of a challenge with all the construction in the area, and prices are a little high (about $30+ for a coffee, meal, and bread). But for the quality and atmosphere, it's totally worth it for a special brunch outing. Can't wait to go back and try their lunch menu! Pro Tip: Arrive early for better parking and don't miss checking out the display case for goodies to take home! -TODOELPASO read more

This cafe is such a delight! Everything here is excellent!! The pastries are gorgeous and they taste like perfection. The lattes are delicious. The service was superb. The atmosphere is comfortable.

During my visit to this restaurant, I observed a spatula fall onto the floor. The cook picked it up and placed it back on the food preparation table without washing his hands or changing gloves. This is a clear food safety and cross-contamination concern. I brought this issue to the manager's attention, expecting corrective action, but instead I was told that I did not have to eat at the restaurant. The unsafe behavior was not addressed. I am filing this complaint due to concerns about improper food handling, lack of hygiene practices, and management's failure to respond appropriately to a legitimate food safety issue. I am requesting an inspection. read more

I love this place! Service is always great and I never know what to order because everything is yummy. My favorite is the French omelette - soft and creamy. Their croissants are dangerously fresh and delicious. Watch out. Very cozy environment and great staff. read more

For some reason it took us a while to get here, but we will not too long go by before we visit again. Solid French omelette and croissants. It is great to get another good option in El Paso. Just add more passerby's and a bunch of seconds hand smoke and you would think you are in Paris. Excellent pastries and excellent cortado. read more

This is the only place that I will eat pasties from. All of the croissants are to die for, my favorite is the chocolate.

My husband and I came for what would be a quick pick up of pastries and come home but we were pleasantly surprised that it was an actual sit down bistro. It was Saturday morning around 10am. It was quite busy but we were sat right away. Service was excellent and quick. We ordered mimosas. I just wanted to try the croissants (which all looked very tempting) and my husband ordered the French omelette. Aside from the food and service the aesthetics of the restaurant, it was beautiful and simple. Overall we were very pleased and can not wait to return. read more

No wifi here at all! Not good for a cafe in this day and age. Tables are small and too close to each other (can listen to everyone's conversations so no privacy) and no tables for groups larger than 4. Has outside seating on three very, very small tables. Servers are very nice and environment is classy, new and clean. Food is way too pricy including the pastries $6-$10). Sourdough Toast is $8 and French Toast is $18 from a very limited menu. Know there is no regular coffee just espresso based drinks. Likely won't be back till they have wifi and more reasonable prices. I like supporting local business but would opt for La Madeleine next time with its free bread , more affordable options, wifi and regular coffee options there. read more

Had the steak sandwich with fries and Perrier. Food was good but the cost was a bit extreme. Cute ambiance but may just go for special occasions instead of becoming a regular. read more

Friendly staff. Pastries are ON POINT!!! My family and I somewhat liked our meal. The salty fries, couldn't eat them. I didn't like my grilled cheese, it was plain.The bread they use for sandwiches is amazing!! The tomato soup was too small and not good. It tasted like canned tomatoes. Coffee was bitter. Will return but only for desserts. This place is pricey!! read more

The worst undeserved experience in my life. We got sat at a two top and then were asked to move across the room to accommodate another party. my partner and I were having a lattes and pastries. after 45 minutes of not being checked on, the server (who had been nice) came around to pick up our dishes and I asked for the check. 15 minutes later with out any provocaction or issues the owner came over to kick us out. He said we were taking up the table, we had to leave and our time was up(I'm dead serious) so apparently you have a time limit at the table and money is more important than customer building and manners. I tipped my server and left with out any type of exchange, I have self respect. But to the owner- Work on your menu, your $20 eggs look dry and your greed is showing. read more

Service was great - friendly and good speed - however all 3 meals came out at differing times with a few minutes between each. Ambiance was nice. For the price, the food was just fair and kind of skimpy. The very small cup of tomato soup was hot and very tasty. The Tartine's bread was not toasted enough and was lacking on the goat cheese. My father in law said that he could not taste the Boison cheese on his omelette stuffed Croissant. read more

Croissants are are point of debate I realize... Cafe Parisian has done a nice job of ranking them as number one in El Paso for croissants in my list I'd recommend asking them to heat your croissant so you get that warm crispness on the outside and the buttery soft layers on the inside. I've had the regular croissant and we bought a giant loaf of sourdough from them. The "real" food menu does seem a little overpriced for this area and I don't know that $18 omelettes will go over well. On that note, I don't mind paying a little more for a good croissant but the best croissants I've had outside of Paris were in San Francisco and from their current menu are $4.75 for plain, $5.75 for chocolate, and $6.75 for chocolate almond so hopefully Cafe Parisian won't price things so high people don't come. I'd love to see them succeed! read more

This cute, little cafe was packed when I went in to purchase pastries. The croissants were made from authentic, laminated dough - not the best I've ever had, but certainly respectable, especially for El Paso. We tried a variety, and the ham and Swiss were our favorite. Service was as expected for a hopping joint - a bit slow but friendly all the same. Coffee drinks looked and smelled wonderful, although I didn't try on my quick visit. I'd say this is a nice place to share breakfast or brunch with a friend you haven't seen in a while and want to linger a bit and enjoy the company. Would not try to bring a large group! It's pretty intimate, which makes it so refreshing for an El Paso establishment. read more

We showed up on a Sunday right when they opened. I was expecting to see a case full of bread and pastries. Everything was empty except a couple of baguettes. The servers seemed confused, rushed. Nobody was greeting anyone. It was kinda chaotic. BUT I want to say the restaurant had only recently opened and I'm hoping it's better. Haven't been back since. It's a beautiful spot and outdoor seating is nice. read more
