Another visit to our favorite hidden gem. Crusty flaky croissants. Expertly prepared eggs. Fresh ingredients all the way around. It always amazes me that this place isn't packed. Shhhhh. Let's just keep it our little secret.

Crowded today, if it were a bar at around 1:30-2:00 am I'd think I hit the jackpot! Women outnumbering men about 12 to 1! Noisy, but I'd go home lucky for sure!

It's been awhile since last we flew with Jerome. Quite frankly it'll be the last time we do too, especially since "Jérôme lui-même" flew the coop! The French, meanwhile, call French toast "pain perdù," or lost bread. That's the perfect metaphor for the service and the sad excuse of a panini sandwich we decided to split: totally lost! First: a whole crew of new faces in there aside from Jerome's wife/sister/whatever she is. Another French man along with at least three other people running around performing table service by committee. None of 'em seemed to have a grasp of what they're doing either! Perdù! One of 'em was a young Hispanic fellow who had nary a clue as to the finer points of service. He comes along to tak our order: two cups of French onion soup and their "ciabatta bread sandwich," split between the two of us (ie extra plate). Then he asks if we want any pastries or dessert items. Did I ask for any? No... Meantime as the table of four next to us was getting their food, the order was totally messed up and didn't even come close to making it outta the kitchen together. When the stuff finally came out, our dear fellow just hands it off directly to the customers and then directly hands him a fork. The rest of the committee just runs around the table a few different times with much the same inept service gaffes. Tres perdù! So another of the committee walks by and refills our water. We casually ask where our soup is. It had been nearly 15 minutes, and per usual soup normally would come out first. So maybe five minutes AFTER she said she'd check, out comes our boy with said pôtage. He doesn't say a single word and just plops 'em down on the table...no presentation, no nothing. Off he went. Well, the soup is nowhere near as delicious as it used to be. Broth was weaker and nowhere near as earthily rich as it normally is. It even had a slightly astringent taste to it. Not bad, but nowhere near how Jerome usually makes/made it. Tant perdù! Last straw was the so called ciabatta sandwich, which came along a few minutes later. Fresh mutz, prosciutto pesto, and sliced tomato pressed on a ciabatta roll. $11.95 for one lousy slice of prosciutto and two bland slices of tomato with some bland, blah, nondescript mozzarella?! There was not even a hint of pesto on the sorry excuse for bread either. I got no basil flavor whatsoever! When I looked at the bread itself, I saw not even ANY green whatever. Pesto is green, of course. Apparently the sandwich maker is kinda in the green side too if he can't read the damn menu! Beyond that, the ciabatta roll itself was doughy, soft, nearly stale and not a bit of crusty crunch! The sandwich as a whole not well pressed or put together very well at all. The roll smelled of whatever oil they coat the press with too. Quite frankly, I felt cheated to put it quite politely. Accompaniment of their homemade shoestring fries was at least good. Did I mention that the sandwich was brought out by the French guy? We also had to ask him for the second plate THREE times before he understood what we meant (and twice for ketchup). Remember we were splitting the sandwich?! Apparently that bit of information got "perdù aussi," i.e. lost as well. Quite frankly our dear garçon "non-Jérôme" should be "honteux de lui-même" (ashamed of himself) for putting out and allowing that level of food as well as service. If he needs the extra help these days, then perhaps he should find someone who knows "qu'est-ce qu'ils foutent," or WTF they're doing. One other oddball gaff is the fact that two painters were replastering and repainting the entrance overhang of non-Jerome's "petit cafe/pâtisserie." Drop cloths, scaffold, rollers and assorted crap jostling with people trying to get in, or better yet: out! Whose bonehead idea was it to do that during brunch hours on a Saturday?! If that decision was made by "non-Jèrôme," then I'd say the new boss is the most "perdù" of 'em all. If you really think this place is worthwhile anymore, then that's fine. However after all those gaffes and the lesser quality of food, my own words of advice to anyone contemplating "flying with Jerome," or whoever the hell is running the place these days, is: "Tant pis!" For those here who don't understand French, that means "Never mind."

This restaurant is a new ownership, Chef/Chez David!! We love this French Bakery so much we went twice already. Everything is great! Almond croissants are yummy and crispy. All deserts looks good. I had a sandwich and it was excellent! Chibata bread is just right. My husband had a crepe with real French flies. Very highly recommend.

What a treat without have to travel outside of Clearwater to enjoy delicious pastries and french food when dining at Flying with Jerome!! Flying with Jerome serving breakfast, brunch and light lunch selections; pastries and cakes can be order for dine in or take out. My friends and I have visited the cafe multiple times - the staff and quality of food and drinks are on point. My favorites are the egg Benedicts, hot chocolate, all the sweets #DessertFirst! The business is usually open very early until 2pm with one or two days off during the week, recommend to check business hours before heading to the French cafe. Bon appétit :)

Partially eaten apple tart. Not too sweet. Amazing!

I just moved to the area and was looking for an authentic patisserie. Background: my family used to own bakeries, and I'm very opinionated and picky...and most bakeries serve garbage. I've ordered here three times and LOVE IT! Then I read the other reviews and saw that the recipes are from the former owner and he has a new place. I drove to Jerome's new place twice, and ordered 5 pastries at each location to compare. All of the recipes are Jerome's at both places, and they are mostly excellent. It takes so much work to run a bakery and both locations are great...we are lucky to have them in our town. That being said, the vanilla eclair and especially the apple tart that you'll find here were significantly better in taste and presentation than anything I tried over there. I can't speak to the full menu, but the pastries are really wonderful here and I have to resist going daily. Sometimes I lose the fight.

Stopped in for some breakfast sandwhiches... and they didn't disappoint! Food: Large portion breakfast croissants that run about $7-$10. We also had the quiche which was $8.50 and tasty but not overwhelming. Menu is rather limited compared to other breakfast stops but enough for everyone to find something. Omelettes are around $10-$12. Drinks: Coffee/Espresso/Latte drinks are around $3-$4. Service: Friendly and busy on weekend mornings. Ambiance: The seating area is small and can get crowded. Take Out: They have a pastry display case with baked breakfast selections and desserts. Parking: Plenty! It's in a small strip mall with a bar, another restaurant, a convenience store and some other miscellaneous. Overall: Good place to try and food was good. I'd like to try the omelettes next time to give a better review of the menu. It was good, just not outstanding.

Hidden gem. Jerome is a one man band. He makes everything from the amazing pastries to the killer breakfasts. The staff is a pleasure to be served by. Couldn't be nicer. Only thing about Jerome's I would change is moving it closer to my house. A must try spot. Trust me. Put this place on your short list.

Christina G.

Still five stars worthy and I've eaten more of the menu. I now drive thirty minutes to get here and I do so lovingly, because it is that good. Here are a couple menu items I have tried since my original visit. TL:DR - get some sort of croissant and the homemade french fries! Almond croissant - I get this every time. It is monstrous and sweet. This is more of a gooey croissant than a flakey one. Make sure you ask them to heat it for you, because it makes it infinitely better and I learned they don't automatically do this. Chocolate croissant - I liked the almond croissant better, but my sister liked this one better. It is a flakier croissant and the chocolate has an almost nutella like quality to it in terms of texture. Croissant french toast - it will give me diabetes, but I love it. One of my favorite things on the menu. Quiche - When you feel carbed out, the quiche helps balance this out. I had one with goat cheese and it was superb. The french fries are made in house so make sure you get them! Smoked salmon and brie omelet - Same idea with the quiche, when you start feeling like you're on a carb overload, this is a good balance. They add a good amount of smoked salmon and brie in it. Tropezienne - The only thing I've ever disliked here. The brioche bread tasted stale. I will definitely avoid this from here on out. I wish I lived closer but then I would weigh ten pounds heavier. I guess it is a trade off.

Delicious food ! Beautiful pastries . Home made fries are my all time favorite! Crepes are delicious. Must try restaurant

Who would've expected a cute little French cafe in the middle of a strip mall. Well... This girl, but only because of all the other yelp reviews. Came for breakfast on a weekday-- I had never been before, but my sister had and told me just how delicious it was. So we made the trek and to her surprise, the restaurant was completely packed! We took the last table available, which always makes you feel like a champ. We started with the almond and chocolate croissant. The almond croissant was obviously made with almond paste/meal which is always nice, but it honestly wasn't my favorite. It was a little too sweet and while the paste makes it dense, it didn't have at least a little bit of flaking on the top that I would expect. However, the chocolate croissant was pretty good! Food-wise, I continued on the trend of croissants, getting the egg croissant sandwich with smoked salmon. It. Was. So. Good. The egg was cooked to perfection-- a little runny so that when you bit in the yolk oozed. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and who ever doesn't love smoked salmon? For first-time visitors, I highly recommend-- then you get to try both the pastry and get a sense of the cooking. Service was fast and friendly-- I ordered a coffee and was constantly getting it refilled. At the end of the meal, I was stuffed and satisfied. A little bit of Paris in Clearwater-- truer words have not been spoken.

3.5 Stars. I took my 10 YO Daughter and her friend last Sunday to the new "bakery" in town. We were a little surprised upon walking in that it was really a restaurant that sells some baked goods. The place was appealing so we decided to grab a table and enjoy some Breakfast. And we very much did enjoy it. I loved that the Eggs Benedict comes with actual ham and not Canadian bacon. The bread was obviously homemade and it had great texture. The Hollandaise was good, however my eggs were slightly over done. I had a tiny amount of runny yolk but not a lot. Still, not a deal breaker and I would order this again in a heartbeat. It came with fries and perfectly dressed greens. Those fries, OMG! They were up there with the best fries ever. My Daughter got hot chocolate and a sugar doughnut. Her friend had a coffee and french toast. The service was great, we wanted for nothing. Why 3.5 stars and not 5 if the food and service was so good? One reason, the price. Let me recap: 1 order of eggs ben, 1 order of french toast, 1 sugar doughnut, 1 hot chocolate and 1 coffee. I almost shit myself when I got the $38.40 before tip bill. I think that's ridiculous for basically two meals and a doughnut. read more

This place is one of my favorites. I love their Bacon egg cheese spinach croissants. Comes with an order of French fries. The croissant is massive in size. Everything is full of flavor. The only downside would be the price. It is roughly $10-11 for it however, I feel it is worth based on flavor and satisfaction. I find myself keep coming back for more. Jerome even has started to remember my order after a few time of visiting which is always a good thing when you visit a place. Definitely worth checking out, if unsure can't go wrong with the breakfast croissants! Best one I have had probably ever. read more

So happy to have found this place. The food is fantastic! We love French food and this was right down our alley. My husband ordered their French onion soup to start and he was very impressed. I ordered the egg croissant with salmon and a side of salad. My husband ordered their puff pastry. We were both very pleased with the taste and presentation. We looked at the large display of cakes and pastries, but decided to abstain due to the vivid memory of the New Years resolution. Not sure we'll be as strong next time... The place is very clean and the staff is patient and friendly. Absolutely in love with this hidden gem and will return for dinner one of these days. read more

My boyfriend and eat here nearly every weekend. It's the best breakfast/lunch place we've ever been to in the largo area. Every time we come, we are immediately greeted by staff, sat quickly, the coffees are delicious and the food is always consistently amazing. The owner Jerome often comes out and greets tables, the staff works well together making sure we're taken care of regardless of if we are their table or not. The croissant sandwich is the best thing I've ever had and the pastries are fantastic. I love this place! I am always sending people to eat here. One suggestion, I do wish you would make use out of that patio area outside so people could sit outdoors. read more

This is my one and only pick whenever in the Clearwater area for breakfast/brunch. The Croissant sandwiches are huge and so so good. Their French Toast is some of the Best I've had. Served with fresh fruit & jam, it's the only thing I use on it. It doesn't even need syrup. I also love their eggs benny that's served with mashed potatoes & salad. Some of the best I've had. I know it sounds like a weird combination to most people, but it's not. It's absolutely delectable. Get it, don't miss out. When your done hit the dessert case and take your pick. My favorite case is by the register where they keep the chocolate filled croissants and such. Everything in that case is filled with all of my favorites, can't go wrong. Last but not least, they have really good coffee, lattes and cappuccinos. That's very important to me and they don't disappoint. Service is always friendly and I love the fact that they bake everything in house. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning. Was greeted by the chef himself. Gave us a seat and a menu. I would have to say the menu was good. Not too many items to choose from. Was very simple and short. Ordered the croissant with egg, spinach, tomatoes with salmon. It came with either fries or a salad. My wife ordered the puff pastries with poach egg, bacon, with the hollandaise sauce and asparagus. When our orders came out, for the portion and display of the plate was just right. We enjoyed our food there. I would come again. Friendly service.

I only write reviews when a place is exceptionally good or bad. Jerome is a dessert genius. There must be more like him in France, and maybe some equals in this country, but he's that good. Not sure I'll be able to post a picture of the desserts but you can email jerrykissel2@yahoo.com and I'll send it. But desserts aside, 3 of us had breakfast this morning: 1) Eggs Croissant, inside had fried eggs, bacon, ripe tomato, spinach; came with fries (excellent fries) for $9.99. Same dish but not as good at First Watch would be about $13 (recollection of price at First Watch very unsure) 2) Bacon & Cheese Omelette, $9.99 3) 4-cheese omelette, $10.50. Omelettes came with fries. All were excellent. Place was quite crowded this morning about 11 - short waits for a table. Last there about 2 years ago, and happy to see the place so busy. Noise level pretty high, but tolerable. Dessert case expanded since last visit - now chocolate desserts as well as pastries, etc. Couldn't resist taking some desserts home - wonderful flans covered with thin apple slices - beautiful - and another with apricots, a pistachio dessert with cherries, straightforward chocolate croissant $2.75, others were $4 to $4.5. Got 5 of them and had to have a tiny slice of each when I got home. As good as it gets....... read more

My husband and I enjoyed brunch here last Sunday. It was amazing! Small but very clean and nicely decorated dining room. The staff hustled the whole time we were in the restaurant. They were attentive to all guests. Based on the menus we were provided, it looks like the menus change frequently. I also notice they must be open on Friday and Saturday nights because there was a separate side to the menu for this. We plan on going back for this very soon. Also they had wonderful looking pastries in the case up front - we didn't have room for these this last trip but they looked devine. On to the entrees we enjoyed. My husband got a chorizo omelet with goat cheese. He can be very hard to please especially at breakfast but he raved about it. I had the croque sandwich - toasted brioche bread, ham, cheese, tomato and topped with a thick cheese béchamel sauce. I also ordered a side of their homemade jam. Personal preference here but I love the mix of salty and sweet. So, I pulled the tomato off the sandwich (and ate it with the salad) and smeared the jam in its place on the sandwich. Wonderful!! We both chose the salad as a side instead of the potato option. The salad was a spring mix of lettuce that was dressed with a balsamic dressing. The perfect side dish for two very flavorful entrees. We will be back. read more

I loved both the Petit Joy (cold brew, coconut, almond) and the pistachio cloud (espresso, pistachio, cold foam). We loved the crab beignets--they were lightly fried and stuffed to the max with crab. I would 100% get these again. We also both got the burger with truffle fries. The burger tasted like a luxury Big Mac. The sauce and lettuce reminded me of that nostalgic fast food burger but this was 10x better. Would order that again in a heart beat. The only thing that I wouldn't order again is the profiteroles. The gelato was icey and the profiteroles tasted a little stale. Our waiter James was friendly and efficient. We also had the pleasure of live music during our visit. Can't wait for my next visit!

One with the two chefs that are behind a Chef & The Baker who also took on the one and only Bobby Flay and WON! The glass was to teach us how to make their signature empandas, which was the menu itme that took Booby down BUT, they weren't giving away all their secrets. We had to pick up specific items from them and make the rest at home following their direction. Their brick and motar location seemed to be back and forth on being open from what I had read for a while but finally I was able to be in the area when I saw it was open and I raced to check it out personally. For a bakery, I got there late and when shops are normally closing up. The items were limited and the staff was extremely friendly andd then both owners walked in and greeted everyone! I did geek out a little and stop them to ask for a photo and say that I had been following their success since I took their glass. It was great to find out that they were down to earth and willing to talk to their patrons. Looking forward to more things from them but I am not sure they can impress Ben more than their dipping sauce for their empanadas, which she gave me some extra of and I have frozen for the next time we make them!!

Small and quaint, but the food is excellent. It was very busy at lunch and there wasn't much staff working, but they ran their tails off and never missed a step. The countryside crepe is exceptional and all of their salads are absolutely delicious. Not to mention, the authentic french bakery in the front of the restaurant. Almond croissants and chocolate crunch are the favorites! read more
