Crème Brulee French Toast
Lesly A.

Very cute cafe! Looks small but there's a good amount of seating available which was nice. Delicious food! Loved everything we ate. If you like your coffee stronger I would definitely recommend getting the extra shot. The latte I got (vanilla) didn't have a super vanilla-y taste, so it tasted more like milk and coffee. But everything was great! Service was fast and the servers/ cashier were nice. This is an order at the counter place btw!

Had breakfast with my friend who flew in from out of town and it was so lovely! The food was so good and the place was very cute! Service was nice, but you do have to go in to order, otherwise great!

Fresh delicious coffee next level thank you

The service was impeccable such a home welcoming environment Thank you for the wholesome hospitality the food. The drinks are delicious. Well crafted and a lot of love and passion reflects in the food and service we received today thank you so much. Did I mention the coffee was amazing, if that much detail and love and passion was put into a simple little cup of coffee no wonder the salmon salad was next level. Thank you again. Definitely see you guys again.

There is no avacado

We've been coming to this place for the past 4 years and truly loved it under the previous owners. Unfortunately, ever since the new ownership took over, the experience has completely changed and the quality it's not the same at alllll The new owner was extremely rude, unprofessional, and clearly lacks customer service skills. Today, on Mother's Day, we ordered avocado toast and quiche with salad. After waiting nearly 40 minutes, our food finally arrived -- and I was honestly shocked by the portion size and the poor quality of the avocado toast (I'll attach the photo). After politely speaking to the waiter and waiting for assistance, no one came back. I eventually had to go inside myself and speak directly to the owner. Instead of resolving the issue properly, she simply said they couldn't remake it and offered "extra avocado" instead. After waiting another 5 minutes, she told me to go sit outside and they would bring it out. They brought very tiny avocado slices. What should have been a beautiful Mother's Day experience was completely ruined. In the end, my husband had to go inside and request a refund. We are beyond disappointed and will never return. Customers deserve kindness, respect, and proper service -- and sadly this place no longer offers any of that. Avoid this place if you value good service and being treated with respect.

What is there not like about this cute little quaint place adorable have wonderful time. Food was fantastic. Love that salad comes with no matter this breakfast lunch or dinner. Next time I come back to town I will definitely be going there for another taste.

Breakfast Burrito, cheesy and yummy with excellent nopales salsa.

Laid back, clean, great food, and friendly staff. Went on a beautiful Sunday morning and there were plenty of customers but no problem grabbing a table, either inside or outside. I gota Nutella latte and a breakfast burrito. Both were excellent. Breakfast burrito was slightly crispy outside, probably have been pressed while heated. I believe the yellow-hued salsa it came with has nopales in it - it was delicious with the burrito. No olive oil cake today, but I'll be back!

I was looking for a cute lunch spot to take my gf to before heading to descanso gardens and passed by this cafe. We decided to try it out after searching their menu online. I ordered a creme brulee french toast and a turkey sandwich. The creme brulee french toast was my favorite of the two. The toasts had a strong egg flavor and went really well with the slightly sweeter creme brulee cream and strawberries. A little bit of powdered sugar on top helped with the sweetness too. I ate most of the turkey sandwich because my gf liked the french toast more. I was expecting the turkey sandwich to be heavy but it felt surprisingly light. It bacon inside wasn't greasy or oily. The addition of red onions and avocado gave both a crunch and a creamy texture to the sandwich. There was a generous amount of turkey meat too. Overall, I was glad I found this place. It was an incredible experience while eating. We sat outside in the shade where there was also a slight breeze in 80 degree F weather. The cleaner air and delicious food along with the setting was just impeccable. We will be coming back to try other things on the menu.

Delicious food with in a cute atmosphere. Lots of healthy options. We had the veggie omelette that comes with salad and a veggie quiche with goat cheese. Well will definitely comeback for the food and friendly service.

Is there new ownership at Cafe Montrose? I've been eating here for the past three years. It seems very different now.

Don't know about Sarin P., but my experiences here have been nothing short of GREAT. I come here frequently and often see a bunch of regulars - I'll leave it at that.

Is this cafe owned by the same people of the former C'est la Vie?

Yes

Incrediblely sweet owner she was training the day I had stopped by and they weren't open when me…read moreand my friend came in. Even so she still went ahead an took our order, had a conversation with us and just took the time to connect. Overall love this place!

First new coffee shop of the year! We were in the area so I picked one that stood out to me per…read moreYelp recs and this was the one! We luckily found street parking up front, otherwise they have a small street nearby that you can probably park in as well. Only two people were ahead of us when we walked in but shortly after, the place filled up with the line almost out the door! There was only one worker but she made it work and she was fast! Cute decor and vibes inside. I wanted to try the pistachio bliss that everyone seemed to rave about but since their seasonal menu was out, I went for the toffee nut iced latte. The drinks are a bit on the pricier side, cute cups though! Something about the drink I got was a little off putting. Idk if it was whatever spice they used but I was not crazy about it. I definitely want to come back and try the pistachio at some point though! Getting out of my parking spot was rough. Busy street but also some annoying guy parked in the red zone behind me, basically bumper to bumper and then another girl in front had A LOT of room in front of her and just didn't give me enough room. I luckily made it out but very annoying! Anyway, still looking forward to coming back to try their pistachio bliss! IG: @ammysalamii
