Discovered this place while searching for a baker for a birthday party. It's a quaint establishment that serves both baked goods and meals. I didn't get the chance to try the food but the interior was very inviting. All the displayed baked goods LOOKED amazing, perfectly decorated. I was there to pick up a cake filling sample but purchased 2 Dubai chocolate cupcakes as they looked too pretty not to try. They tasted just as good as they looked. As I mentioned, I found this place while looking for a baker for a birthday party. I had been in contact, via email, with someone at the bakery who had provided me with pricing, we even arranged for me to pick up a sample filling before officially placing my order. After trying the filling, I emailed to officially place my order & was met with another person, who changed the pricing, stating my previous point of contact had misquoted me. She refused to honor what I had previously discussed which was upsetting as I had vetted several bakers before choosing Cafe Pierrot. I would have loved to have tried their cake but, overall customer service is important so, I opted not to do business with them due to them going back on what was already discussed. read more

Takeout dinner from Sparta, New Jersey... To celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, my friend decided to go to Cafe Pierrot. Originally, she was just going to get some decorated cupcakes... one was filled with mint and the other had Bailey's Irish Cream. We saw Corned beef cabbage in the refrigerated section and took a container to go, too. I saw the Irish Soda Bread with Golden Raisins and Chicken Pot Pie. The fruit tart looked good, too, so I got them all! My friend asked if she had any rewards to redeem - yes! She could have a loaf of bread or a cupcake... we took a pre-cut loaf of Multigrain bread... yay! Service was cheerful, helpful and efficient. The food was ok. We heated the Chicken Pot Pie in the oven. I liked the edges of the crust a lot more than the middle of the pie. The Corned Beef was sliced very thin - there were just 6 pieces, along with carrots, carnage, and potatoes. We microwaved everything for about 4 minutes. The cupcakes were moist and pretty. The chocolate was delicious. The frosting was thick and sweet. We'll have the bread for breakfast in the morning. My fruit tart was great! It was beautiful and fresh! Maybe we can dine in next time... it looked like a cozy environment! Hope you had a Happy Saint Patrick's Day! read more

***4 1/2 stars*** The last time I was at Cafe Pierrot was probably close to seven or eight years ago, and all I remember is that it involved nice weather and an excellent flavored latte. This visit was more dinner than brunch, but also luckily involved a pleasant sunny afternoon and still delivered some high quality shizzle - I don't say it lightly, but this is a Kingdom of Sussex staple. We came here for a late lunch/early dinner (I'm trying to mainstream the term lunner but I just don't think it's happening) this past Saturday after my Number One Honorary Young Pup Chum's stage debut down the street, which unfortunately premiered over a week after the Tony nominations were announced so the timing just wasn't there this year. Even though we got there right at the transition to the dinner menu, you can definitely still hit up the pastry/bakery area located right at the main entrance. The Honorary Young Pup Chum happily ordered a Red Velvet macaron on our way out that didn't survive the trek out of the parking lot. The interior of Cafe Pierrot has a ye olde vibe - lots of wooden floors and rustic decor - but after sitting inside for a few hours of stagecraft it felt very important to take advantage of the outdoor seating in front of the building. This is a weird, not weakness per se, but something that could definitely be improved: the outdoor seating is on top of unstable stones/pebbles, so by definition your table and chairs are uneven and there's a lot of shifting involved to minimize the buckling. I think the solution is to just replace the rocks with a different, more consistent material without waving the white flag and paving it (which feels extreme). You want to keep the natural vibes going, but not at the expense of your literal balance while you're eating. We were planning to get a little naughty later on at Krogh's, so I unfortunately behaved throughout this endeavor. I got the Potato Sole entree, which was really good. It's been a while since I had a potato-crusted fish (literally over a decade during a fascinating Block Island excursion), and I remain surprised that the concept isn't on more menus. The portion was decent, and the mashed potatoes really hit. Everyone at the table was pleased with what they ordered. The service was a LITTLE off. I mentioned that we showed up during the transition from lunch to dinner, and I think that may have played a part in this. It took a long time for the waitress to come out for our orders, to the point where the Young Pup brazenly declared that she was going to find the waitress during a bathroom visit to order her outside (that didn't happen, which was unquestionably a positive for all involved). She was nice though, and it ultimately wasn't the biggest deal in the world. Something for the restaurant to be aware of though during that awkward 10- or 20-minute period where the menu shifts. A strong recommend for the Kingdom of Sussex; the only near-term downside is that it's not the easiest place to get to with the sinkhole drama. Fix Route 80! read more

I work up the road from this restaurant. The quality is not what it used to be. Today I ordered fish and chips lunch special. I got the tiniest 2 peices of fish ever. For $16.97 I feel you should get more than 2 tiny pieces of fish and a pound of french fries. This is really to bad. read more

I typically enjoy this Cafe very much but today I brought home a loaf of Irish soda bread. It was so bad that I had a small piece and thought the whole thing in the trash. It was that bad. Not just stale but a very unpleasant taste. I was suprised. read more

After several trips to this restaurant with my wife I ordered a bowl of New England Clam Chowder with a toasted buttered croissant. When my order arrived my toasted croissant was handed to me by the manager who informed me they do not butter croissants. The entire exterior was toasted (not cut in half). The waitress was obviously unaware that they do not butter their croissants. Then the soup arrived. The soup was unlike any version of this soup I have ever had in my life. NO hint of milk or cream. Bacon and a ton of celery totally overwhelmed any hint of clam flavor. Very pretentious cooking to say the least. read more

Omg! Thank you so much for the last minute order. I will definitely be back. The vanilla cupcakes filled with chocolate mouse we amazing and so were the cookies. Order process was quick on line and they called me right away to confirm and have these beautiful delicious treats ready for us in less than 72 hours. Staff at pick-up was so friendly. Again Awesome and for this last minute Mama you made it so easy read more

I've been here a few times and what I can say is that everything was just very average to below average. There's no creativity in the menu. The menu is actually very strange. The sandwiches/wraps don't really make sense for middle of summer ie. Two different chicken ceasar wraps... a turkey/spinach/cranberry sandwich? Nothing jumps out as delicious or outstanding. Both times the food was very underwhelming. Super expensive. For instance, Windy Brow farm in Newton is absolutely unbelievable. Literally delicious- everything is bursting with flavor. In comparison to here it's not even worth it. read more

My wife and I have been here multiple times. After our most recent visit I decided to write this review. I am not a fan, my wife likes their food but I'd say she's not a huge fan. As the name suggests this is a French cuisine influenced place but don't expect great French bistro food. Several months ago we went there and I got the Beef Bourguignon special. It was not good. This dish should be slowly cooked, use the right type of beef that when cooked properly becomes fork tender and have a very rich sauce where you can taste the flavors of reduced wine and herbs. Theirs absolutely did not and frankly a local diner could have served the same or better quality beef stew type of dish. Tonight my wife and I went again having called ahead to see if they had French Onion Soup. We both got the soup. Horrible! This dish is characterized by deeply carmelized onions, deep flavorful beef stock served in a crock with a large crouton and overflowing gruyere or at least Swiss cheese. Their French onion had a broth that was so watery it lacked all flavor. The onions of which there weren't many were not catmelized at all but instead looked sauted. It was not served in a crock and had a small slice of French bread with barely there cheese. For some reason they served a slice of rye bread on the side. I've had French onion soup in bars and diners far superior to this putrid dish they served. This was so bad that my wife and I only had a couple of spoonfuls. Next came seafood risotto for me and beef stroganoff for my wife. My risotto was ok but on the watery side indicating it had not been cooked properly. My wife's dish lacked all flavor and the beef was tough. While we didn't get dessert we've gotten dessert there in the past that is extremely hit or miss. Its as if they forget to use sugar in their baked products sometimes. I really want this place to be good which is why Ive agreed to go back several times. Who ever cooks their savory dishes is clearly not a trained chef or at least not a good one. They have been there a long time so they keep drawing people and that's good as I don't want to see a local business fail but they have to up their game significantly and be consistent. While their prices will not break the bank its overpriced for the quality. read more

If you're searching for a cute cafe to have a breakfast feast during these covid times, Cafe Pierrot is a must-visit if you're in the area! The parking lot was relatively small, but if you visit during a less busy time like in the morning, it'll be easy to find a spot. Around 9:45 am, there is no wait time, and immediately after entering the cafe, the waitress will greet and seat you. She even made sure to space out the guests for social distancing to ensure a safe dining experience! This quaint cafe has a relaxing ambiance and cozy setting with aesthetic decor like pretty lighting fixtures and windows overlooking the town. Despite dining for two hours, the server was extremely friendly and patient when answering questions. The first photo depicts raspberry french toast with a side of sausages + breakfast potatoes and an omelet with sausage, tomatoes, and onions with breakfast potatoes + multigrain toast. The second picture shows a stunning cup of hot chocolate with steamed milk, and the photogenic design on top was a nice touch! Everything was priced appropriately, especially for breakfast, and the meal was affordable! The unique combination of sweetened cream cheese with raspberry preserves in the french toast was tangy but sweet and delightfully smooth. The toast and sausages were amazing, and the potatoes were also tasty but not the best potatoes in the world. The omelet was deliciously well cooked, and nothing was too salty or raw. Cafe Pierrot is a wonderful place to catch up with a friend and I would highly recommend it to anyone! read more

I loved seeing this cute little French restaurant. It was really nice to sit down and what not, and get the cute little drinks and stuff. Definitely an A for presentation. The service was good, I don't really remember, but I just know it was good, so that's all you need to know. The food was really good! Not very stand out, but good nonetheless. Getting a pastry from there tasted a bit stale though. Other than that great! read more

Food presentation is appealing but doesn't exactly match the taste and execution. But wose than that, I was not allowed to sit at a larger table; even though, they had 5 larger tables that could accomoadate 4, that were available. Still strange was I was told they could only sit 6 people at these tables. I'm a larger person and the smaller tables, which were mostly all taken up with others, were going to be very uncomfortable for me. Well, they would let me sit at a larger table but, it was in the dungeon with no windows or adequate light. I would not recommend this place for those who have a larger frame. read more

Such cute atmosphere with great baked goods and coffee. If you come here for brunch, the food is delicious. The wraps, however, were just a bit doughy at the end, but tasted good besides that. Some things are a bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion. They had an open table for 4, but wouldn't seat two ladies that came in. I get that they were waiting for a group of 4, however, the table remained empty the whole time I was there and the ladies could have easily just ate there but who knows. read more

I stopped by Cafe Pierrot today for lunch. I had a bowl of the mushroom soup, which came with two slices of their homemade bread. I specifically asked for a glass of water with no ice. The reason for the two stars is that the waiter, Andrew, brought out a glass chock full of ice and a pitcher of ice water for the table. Unapologetically, he thought that I said I wanted ice. Five minutes later, he finally remedied the situation. But what really got me was his attitude--almost as though he couldn't be bothered. Also, my soup was brought out lukewarm, which I just proceeded to eat because I was in a hurry today. My mom and I used to adore this place, and now with my experience here today, I'm not sure I'll be back, sadly. read more

Was driving through town with my mom on a Monday afternoon and we stopped to have Brunch here. It's a cute little spot and relatively quiet. There were probably a handful of other patrons at the time. The crowd eventually picked up around 1-2 pm. The atmosphere was very homey and quaint. It reminded me of a "Luke's Diner" vibe from Gilmore Girls. The staff were really friendly and explained the menu well. We didn't feel rushed at all. The prices were good for the portions and the pumpkin spice coffee was amazing. I'd highly recommend. There's even a little bakery portion of the restaurant to take little baked goods home. The only complaint I did have was my mom received a noticeably dirty mug for her coffee and dirty silverware as well. The waitress was very kind and replaced it right away. Other than that 5/5 read more
