Elegance On Display

So I've been here a few times now. In the past, I've tried their coffee, avocado toast (modified to…read morebe vegan), some of their vegan pastries, and an Italian soda. This most recent visit we had their vegan avocado cookies but I didn't love it. I'm not sure if it was too sweet or too salty. It just tasted a bit off. My kids both had a couple bites and didn't want anymore, which is odd for them to not eat sweets. We also had a tropical sunrise smoothie, which I tried and it was good. One of my daughter's liked hers and the other was picky and said it tasted different. Hubby and I ordered lattes with oat milk. Unfortunately, the Mexican mocha powder mix contains dairy since they use the LA Abuelita Brand of mix (owned by Nestle and not the true OG Mexican chocolate, check out Ibarra instead). So we ended up with vanilla and hazelnut lattes instead with oat milk. We took our goodies to go and service was friendly and quick. In the past, I recall more vegan pastries so I'm a bit disappointed that the only option was a cookie. Anyway, I would likely return if I'm meeting up with friends or in the area for a drink, but wishing they had more vegan friendly options. Plenty of seating inside. The door was a little funky to open/close. Bathrooms inside. Street parking or free parking in the lot across the street from the gem society. Check the website for hours because it seems Fallbrook has funky hours compared to typical businesses.

Being a local, I decided to come here several times before making a review... This place is such a…read morehit or miss. Food wise - I think I've been impressed maybe once or twice. Multiple times my food has been cold or just tastes 'meh.' I think if the service was great, I could be a little more forgiving about the food, but when your cold meal is served to you by someone with an even colder personality, it really makes me question why I keep coming back. I will say that their baked goods are great, so that's mostly why I return (and because there are limited cafe spots in Fallbrook).

Look at all that cream cheese! Perfect!

Really enjoyed my visit to Café Des Artistes! I ordered the ham and Swiss panini along with an açaí…read morebowl, and both were delicious. The panini was perfectly toasted with great flavor, and the açaí bowl was fresh, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. Prices were decent for the quality and portion sizes, which I definitely appreciated. The servers were friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Overall, a great spot for a casual meal or light brunch. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu! There is also a museum entrance! Admission is based on exhibit.

Today I enjoyed the "Beef Dip Panini" on herbed focaccia with horsey sauce. Very flavorful. The Au jus was a little thin but plentiful for the focaccia. I also enjoyed my usual mini Caesar salad and a (few) Fallbrook Chardonnays. The current art show at the adjoining Fallbrook Art Center was spectacular. The 9th Annual American Impressionist Society presents "Impressions: Small Works Showcase". So beautifully curated! I do drive a distance to enjoy this. But, enjoy it... I DO.

Lentil soup! Amazing vegan / plant based option. Full of flavor.

Super friendly, helpful staff. The sweet girl with the glasses was attentive and busy cleaning and stalking when not serving guests. She suggested some flavors, gave samples after I gave her an idea of what I was looking for. Alexandra greeted me upon entering. I asked her about the area and I appreciated her sharing her story about growing up in the area and giving me points of interest to visit. The refreshing berry yogurt and fresh toppings hit the spot. They rotate yogurts daily but offer a good variety from tart to sweet and everything in between. My take away is the yogurt is great and staff better.

This is a traditional ice cream sundae but with the caveat of vanilla yogurt so delicious

The…read morelocation and ambiance are honestly what make it special, peaceful views, lush gardens, and a relaxed outdoor setting. The patio overlooks the water and greenery, which makes brunch or lunch feel extra calm. I definitely recommend calling ahead or booking through OpenTable since hours and days can vary with private events, and reservations help. The menu has something for everyone, from brunch favorites to fresh California-style dishes like fish tacos, paninis, burgers, and such. I like to try something new when I dine and I've enjoyed everything I've ordered. One of the best parts is taking time to walk the property after you eat. The estate grounds and gardens are beautiful and really add to the whole entire experience.

The Birria itself was very tender, flavorful and moist. The churros of course were very good and fresh considering they fry it to order in a purpose made churro machine. I have to give a big shout out to the worker I had when I was there who I'm assuming was the owner. He made sure that everything was tasting good and that I was satisfied with everything.

I love churros, and they make theirs fresh while you wait, which makes it so much better then getting a churro that's been sitting under a heater and drying out. They have several varieties of churros and different ways that you can order them. They also serve soft serve vanilla ice cream. We got the vanilla soft serve along with the bag of churros, which contains three of them. They came out piping hot and fresh, covered and that delicious cinnamon sugar. They were excellent and paired with the ice cream, it was a nice treat. The ice cream had a good texture but did taste a bit artificial, but i definitely still enjoyed it. Bottom line, of you look he churros this is your spot. They also serve food, which we unfortunately didn't get to try on this visit. They do have a small parking lot in the back and also some tables outside to sit on.
