Eden is an unusual delight right in downtown Tulare, and it's quite likely the owner will be right there, available for recommendations and menu insight. The cuisine is French, specializing in breakfast but with more lunch-like options as well, making it perfect for brunch. Check out the menu, and consider ratatouille as your side--it's delicious! I especially appreciated the coffee, which is roasted on site. It was so good that I was tempted to order a second latte. They do occasional dinners too, but the focus is earlier in the day. Enjoy! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful open atmosphere, this French restaurant is owned by a beautiful french woman who wanted to not only serve fresh food made daily, she also wanted to help the community![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a win, win combination. 20% of her monies goes back into the local community. She offers work to local students along with helping the community by employing persons who need a second chance at life. The service was wonderful, the owner sat with us a few minutes since it was our first time dining there. She explained menu items and her philosophy on helping out her local community. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice table and chairs with linen napkins.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A small play area for kids (!) in the part of the restaurant that looks like it serves fresh made pasties and coffees.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All fresh ingredients are used along with local food sourced by the community, she used the example of the fresh local pecans and walnuts used in the salads. Fresh french butter and cheeses. We had a Kir Royale to add to our beautiful lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt like I was back in France for lunch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a beautiful grilled salmon salad, the traditional french sandwich- Le Parisien, a Parisien omelet , also with a side of french fries and the well known Lyonnaise potatoes. We were all very pleased and happy with our meals. Each server was very helpful and kind . We brought home fresh croissants and the chocolate filled croissant. So delicious. We will return for crepes and many more items we were not able to try. It's worth the drive to Tulare. Only open until 2:00 PM. They do have a special dinner that you need to book in advance and it sells out, this is done about once a month. read more

My friend from another state ordered me a gift card for my birthday for this Resturant. So excited to try it ; a French restaurant owned by French people ... love it! We made reservations a couple days prior to coming here; got to sit wherever we wanted. The owners came by our table a few times ... very friendly. We ordered the quiche with the lyonise potatoes; perfect amount and a unique taste. We also ordered an omlette with lyonise potatoes.... Very good. Had to try a crepe; filled with Nutella and banana; mmmm reminded me of being in France. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is casual ; we must admit all the staff was friendly and very welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a kids corner; for toddlers with toys ; which was very convenient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved that they work with the community and provide a lot of opportunities for those students who are high risk. Great mission ! read more

I went to brunch here and unfortunately it was not very enjoyable. The staff seemed as though they were new. They were not familiar with the menu which is not a good sign to me. They struggled while we ordered our beverages. The food came out very late. Our charges were incorrect on the check. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also if you have a child in diapers, there is no changing table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Very excited about this establishment! We have visited three times--light breakfast, lunch. and (NEW!) dinner. Breakfast: We limited ourselves to (excellent!!) croissants and (superb!) coffee. There's a lot more to choose from. Lunch: Good sandwiches (typically French) and (also excellent!) salad with salmon. Dinner. This is new. First, three experimental Fridays. We attended the first. The duck was nothing short of wonderful. The pommes frites were less impressive but passable. The beef bourguignon was disappointing--seven or so small cubes of too-tough beef with one pearl onion and two slim carrot slices. However: The word is that a new dinner chef is in the pipeline, so we'll give it another try at the next dinner. The owner is friendly, helpful, and freely available. Her husband is the primary chef. Their mission to mentor and encourage young people--we NEED these wonderful people in our community. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is very pleasant--generally quiet, conducive to conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is simple and pleasant, and the service is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, you owe it to yourself to stop in. read more

An absolute must stop if driving through Tulare, the food is amazing, best eggs Benedict I have ever had! Fresh, beautifully tasting English muffins and the hollandaise was heavenly.

A surprisingly self made French cafe in the middle of Tulare. The owner herself sat down with me to explain that this cafe makes everything from scratch. She also mentions how this cafe also serves as a nonprofit during after hours for those looking for a second life. Although the menu warned of slower service, I found that my food came out in a timely manner despite the lunch rush. *French Onion Soup: rich, cheesy and beefy. Came with three slices of a bread but the soup itself had enough carb content. The cheese offered a pleasant stretch and saltiness. The onions could have caramelized for longer but the broth had good sweetness and herbal flavor regardless. *Lyonnaise Potatoes: the potatoes were cut thicker than the average potato chip. Certain slices were crispier while others had a chewier bite. The potatoes were seasoned well and the onion soup panning was very subtle. The best bites were the ones with onion bits. *Lemonade: on the sour side and not overly sweet. I wished that it was served in a glass instead of a plastic cup like other beverages. It was definitely house made but it wasn't my favorite. Every staff member was friendly although they appeared quite swamped. I got up to prep my own to go container because no one was free. Paying the bill was also at the front too so there wasn't much interaction after the first encounter. Overall, the food was good with stylistic flavors albeit the lemonade wasn't my favorite. The meaningful message and warm, welcoming ambiance made me rate the dine in experience a solid 4 stars. read more

Extremely delicious food here. We had the croque madame and egg Benedict, sides were ratatouille and potato, all are ordinary fares, but boy, don't they put a twists on these otherwise ordinary dishes and made them so unique and flavorful, can't fully describe it with words, you really have to taste it yourself to understand how good the food are.

Our first time eating at Eden Cafe, we visited on Saturday, February 17, 2024, at 8:30 am. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of parking. They also have a coffee shop/cafe if you want to grab a coffee and pastry. The ambiance was casual and friendly. We sat far from the door so the temperature was perfect. The menu is not extensive, pretty limited for breakfast options, more like a brunch menu. We started our order with a Brown Sugar Latte with an extra shot of espresso. The latte was made with real brown sugar, not an artificial syrup. It had a wonderful milk foam on top and not overly sweet. The coffee was served hot. A coffee menu would have been nice with a few house specialties listed I ordered the Quiche Loraine with a salad. The quiche is made in house and it was tasty but not spectacular. The crust wasn't as flaky as I had expected. It had nicely diced ham and was flavorful. I personally didn't care of the cheese it was topped with. Didn't feel the quiche needed it, kinda added a bit of grease to the quiche. I would order without next time. The salad was delicious, dressed perfectly. I would definitely order this salad again. We also ordered the veggie omelette . It was filled with a ratatouille, tomato based veggie mix, was good but would order the lamb merguez (lamb sausage) omelette next time. We weren't sure if we'd like the merguez, so we were given a sample..delicious, flavorful with a bit of spice. The Lyonnaise Potatoes were fantastic and would definitely order again. We ordered a in house made chocolate croissant. It was served warm and the croissant was flaky with just the right amount of chocolate. I would order again. We ordered the Brown Sugar Crepe and it was out of the world delicious! The crepe was served warm and topped with fresh cream. I highly recommend the Brown Sugar Crepe. The waitstaff was attentive and accommodating. Overall, I do recommend Eden Cafe and we will definitely eat here again, there are several menu items that we would like to try for brunch/lunch. read more
