    Lovely vibrant French bakery Iin Cornelius. They have a good sized menu with a variety of sandwiches, quiche etc. They have a large amount of different pastries in their case. I actually went in to buy a Napoleon but there weren't any. I was told they don't make them all the time. I purchased a chocolate eclair instead. Very fresh and quite large. I'd like to try the food next time I visit. Everything looked delicious from other customers in the cafe.

    My friend and I decided to met at this cafe for lunch and we were very impressed with the food l. it tasted fresh and nice. Some options they did run out of but I would recommend family and friend to attend

    Great bread and pastries. And soup so good. I usually stop in for lunch ( closed tuesdays) for a sandwich and soup. Priced a little higher than area lunch spots, but soooo good. I always tray and fail to resist the lure of pastries in the case. Fast service at counter. Sometimes hard to find a spot to sit. Place is usually filled up with people sitting comfortably and chatting. Cute place; a couple picnic tables out back are usually open.

    A great experience for a Saturday morning visit. It was very busy and understandably so. The pastries were excellent. The bread is delicious and the breakfast and lunch much options looked amazing. My order was to go and I would have liked to have stayed but I decided it was too busy. If I lived in the area I would be back for the bakery experience but I did not like my French Kiss latte. It tasted like a really sweet watered down coffee. Perhaps their other offerings are better and I'd try them if I go back but that would not be the main reason to go back. French pastries.. yes. Drinks nah. Because there was so many people it was really loud and difficult to hear the servers though they tried and did a good job.

    Canneles de Bordeaux
    Mandi C.

    Located across the street from the new Atrium Lake Norman in Cornelius, Cocotte is my favorite bakery - solely due to house made French pastries with an imported French flour and a lovely couple from France. Fair warning, It is pricey but worth it! Their best deal is their sandwiches that includes a side (today I chose the tomato soup with croque monsieur) Food: Tomato soup, while basic, was robust and flavorful. The Canneles de Bordeaux ($3.25) was a rum soaked cake that boast of a custard center ... dearest gentle readers, there was not a custard center a tasted more gummy than like a pastry The croque monsieur was a heat up I was expecting fresh and bubbly like true Croque Monsieur and it was essentially a sandwich that once upon a time had bubbly cheese and crispy bacon. Their best deal brioche it was on was absolutely incredible - soft, sweet, and spongy, but there was a stark temperature contrast to the "ran through the toaster" broiled top. My total after tip was $22.41. (Yes I tipped the staff for an order at the front and carry it to me, which is typically against my principle of no tipping if I have to stand and order but that's a different soapbox) Atmosphere: chaotic, loud. There is a small kiddo section with toys and a couple of arm chairs, 3 or four booths and 3-4 small tables along with outside picnic tables that have umbrellas. I have no idea who created the acoustics of this building but everything seems to echo, so if you're looking for a cozy cafe to get work done - this unfortunately isn't it. They do community events there for those who love to speak French or want to learn and improve on their French and are a part of Goodie bags app so if you can snag one of their deals - that's a fantastic way to support them! They are open Weekdays 7-3 (closed tuesdays) and 8a-3p on the weekends. Finally, they have paired with other local coffee shops to have their pastries for sale I would have paid the same (if not more!) for similar items at Panera (prepackaged, overpriced hospital food IMO) so I will hands down continue to support local, freshly made ingredients. I didn't have coffee this go round but thoroughly enjoy their lattes

    Cocotte is an easy five stars for me. The space is charming and inviting and the staff could not be lovelier. The menu has fun coffee options and so many chocolatey pâtisserie choices that make it feel like a little treat every time I visit. Everything tastes thoughtful and the atmosphere makes you want to linger. A genuine neighborhood gem.

    Grilled Cheese Special
    Tiffany K.

    Amazing experience. Today they had tomato basil soup of the day and the special was a grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was on a croissant with caramelized onions and was the best one I've had in my whole life! The soup was delicious as well. I hope they make the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup a permanent menu item. There was nothing special about the ambiance but it was a pleasant space- nothing negative to say. I will definitely go back.

    Hand down, the best patisserie. Service was quick and everything we tried was delish. The only thing I didn't care for was the canelle...texture was denser and mochi-like chewy - which isn't my preference, tho you may enjoy it. Can't wait to go back.

    What a great find! Delicious for breakfast and lunch. They also have the most amazing pastries and desserts. Plenty of inside seating (even a little kid reading/play area) and outdoor seating. I just wish they were open later than 3pm!

    Such a cute French bakery in Cornelius. I loved the atmosphere and everyone inside was super friendly. I ordered the coffee cube croissant. It was huge! It was filled with a delicious coffee cream. The white chocolate on top was a little too sweet for me. But overall, it was a great pastry!

    Crème Brûlée Brioche, Almond Croissant, Vanilla Eclair, and the last one I don't know the name. But it's amazing!

    Although Cocotte is a bit of a drive for me, it's absolutely worth every mile. The pastries are truly phenomenal--fresh, beautifully made, and full of authentic French flavor. The service is always warm and friendly, which makes each visit even better. If you're looking for a bakery that delivers incredible quality and a welcoming atmosphere, Cocotte is definitely the place. Highly recommend!

    Breakfast sandwich, apple tartelette, and fruit (that was my side for the quiche)
    Andi M.

    My husband and I were very excited to finally have a French bakery in the area, and we waited until after their soft opening before giving them a try for breakfast. It's a little confusing for first-time orders. There's a staff member who takes your order, but she doesn't input orders into a register, so you need to repeat your order to pay with another person. We ordered the Quiche Lorraine, breakfast sandwich (with scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese), apple tartelette, and two small lattes (each with an extra shot of espresso). The quiche and sandwiches are premade and kept in a case behind the register, so your food is ready very fast. My only issue with this method is that both our quiche and the breakfast sandwich were only slightly warm. They could have benefitted from a warm-up in the microwave before delivering them to us. That said, everything was delicious. The quiche slice was generous, and it had plenty of onions and cheese. It came with a side of choice, and I had the fruit. I would have preferred that the onions be more cooked in the quiche, as they were still crunchy. The breakfast sandwich was both of our favorites. The croissant was fluffy, yet still very crispy. It was also generously filled. The apple tartelette had a thick crust and not a lot of filling, but the crust was still very good. Our lattes were also very good, and a very reasonable price ($5.50 each). All told, we enjoyed our meal, and will return.

    Excellent service. Beautiful pastry. The croissant sandwich was very tasty. Sourdough is as good as any I've had.

    The name captures the aesthetic - old tyme Italian Market. Walk into a small market with a deli…read morecase full of meats, cheeses, antipasto, and arancini. Find another case with a variety of steaks ready to be cut - ribeye and NY strip were just a few examples. The cases have oils and spices to enhance your cooking. At lunchtime on Saturday there was a line to order sandwiches but it moved pretty quickly. The meats, peppers, seasoning, and bread far surpass anything you'd get at a chain sub shop. Half a sandwich filled me up which meant I got to enjoy the rest for lunch the next day. Between cold cuts, paninis, and hot sandwiches there are a variety of sandwich options. Grab one of the tables inside or sit at a table on the sidewalk on a nice day and enjoy a great lunch at Ferrucci's.

None of the sandwiches I've tried have blown me away. Theyre not bad, but not memorable. Limited selection in the prepared foods counter. Service is okay. The people who take your order are friendly but the woman who checked me out kinda wasn't. For an Italian deli (and I'm Italian with high expectations) this is a no from me.

We appreciate their creative menu, with unique options that you can't find anywhere else. We usually go before 9am on a Saturday, when they aren't as busy. And our usual server, Makel, is always on top of everything, even if he is the only one serving tables at that time. We rotate between our favorites - 1. I like their quiches, breakfast enchiladas, and the two-egg plate. 2. My husband likes their Ranchero Scramble, breakfast enchiladas, and breakfast burrito. I'm usually disappointed with how restaurants cook scrambled eggs with cheese, but the chef at Neighborhood Cafe knows how to do it right. The eggs are never overcooked, and the cheese is always melted throughout. He sets the standard for how scrambled eggs should be made! I'll often rotate sides, but lately I've been having a half avocado with the eggs. The avocado is ALWAYS fresh and never brown. Other times, I'll get a salad or fruit. I appreciate that they have so many side options. If they have a quiche that I like (no asiago or goat cheese for me), I'll have the quiche entree. They serve that dish with two sides, and I always get the salad and fruit. Their dressings are homemade, and are so good! My husband's current favorite is the Ranchero Scramble. He adds their homemade red chili sauce (the one they serve on top of the breakfast burrito), and we both use it. It's amazing on the scrambled eggs, too! Their portions are large, their coffee is good and strong, and service is always so fast. We love Neighborhood Cafe!

The avocado toast was a mush of ingredients and inedible. My wife left 75% on the plate. The bacon was ok, but the homestyle potatoes were extremely over-seasoned, the eggs pale yellow without any taste, and the pancakes were dry and had a resemblance to cardboard that even the fake syrup couldn't offset. It speaks volumes if even my kids don't touch the food. The shining star was the mimosa.
