    Pastry! Yum!
    Diane M.

    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.

    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.

    Grilled Cheese and tomato soup. Added a larger portion of soup. Shot glass was a macchiato.

    Cafe is a great place to enjoy a great cup of coffee and a pastry. Food is delicious too. You can see the tomato soup and grilled cheese. Amazing!! The service by Leo was absolutely great. He was friendly informative and had a great sense of humor with us. Music just fills the whole vibe of a chill spot to have a great conversation with friends or your significant other.. will be coming back!!! Need to try all the other pastries!!!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Steak and Eggs! ribeye cooked perfectly! So tender and juicy, and Rosé for good measure

    Best steak in town, best patio seating, and perfect brunch with European vibe! That's not even mentioning the pastries and croissants!!!

    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

    These may look a bit over... but they were excellent.  Super flaky and buttery.

    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.

    The place is beautiful! It is very clean and well lit. The food is really good. Very delicate flavors. Portions are very generous. The bread is to die for The service was amazing! All the staff really friendly

    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.

    super cute place. the staff was phenomenal. Got the club sandwich and would definitely recommend…read moretrying.

    GREAT place for brunch! The location has a great vibe, nice indoor and outdoor seating areas. It's…read morenice to see families meet, college kids meet up with their parents, groups of girlfriends getting together, couples enjoying the ambiance. There is always a good mix of people. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Their menu items are great and have an enjoyable twist. I'm a bit hooked on their guacamole and zucchini fries. I have enjoyed everything I have tried so far. The classic burger is juicy and the beef has a great flavor. The southwest scrambler also had a great blend of flavors. I added bacon strips on the side. It did not disappoint. The flavor of the bacon was a great addition. Everything tastes better with bacon! I was simple with my drink order and had an orange mimosa (several). Great flavor. Makes it difficult to get just one. They do offer other flavors and flights along with many other cocktail choices and beer. I recently tried the steak and eggs, a new menu item. You have options when you order. I ordered mine with scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon (of course), and toast with my medium steak. The eggs were delicious and so fluffy. The flavor of the bacon went so well with the eggs and the potatoes. I like steaks. To me, the flavor of the steak was missing something compared to the rest of the plate. This has been the only time that I have not finished everything on the plate. I'm sure the seasoning of the steak will improve . I'm not saying the flavor was bad making the steak inedible. The flavor was just not to my liking. This does not stop me from returning and I still highly recommend that you stop by. I haven't gotten to the prices! I have been to brunch in many places across the country and in Texas. Sadly, many are disappointing and seem to feel that because it's "brunch" they can over charge for their plates and especially their drinks. I am so glad Nomel does not. The location is not conveniently close to the highway, but it is definitely worth the drive.
