Quality vs quantity. Other reviews talk about the price versus quantity, but we didn't notice because the quality was awesome and I would choose that anyday over volume chains that give big portions but standard fare quality taste. And the cappuccino was delicious- very smooth taste. Would recommend for authentic French quality. read more

Really delicious food and pastry. We were looking for a nice lunch and this was it. We both had quiche which came with a small salad. Limited seating outside. Nice service and very authentic. One caveat, nothing in the pastry case was marked with a price or what it was. I had to ask about everything and the service person seemed annoyed that I did. I purchased several pastries to take with and them were very good. I used the rest room and the black board with the prices was in the rest room! read more

Oui Oui! Thank goodness a small cafe like this is in our neighborhood. Directly from Paris comes the owner, and it is clear she loves what French cuisine has to offer. They have wonderful food offerings, from their sandwiches, to their crepes. I would highly recommend their crepe with fresh pesto, cheese and tomatoes. It is delicious. The place is SMALL. No indoor seating, so dress accordingly. In addition, the outdoor seating is limited, and the tables don't turn over quickly. (your food can take some time getting ready and people linger reading the paper or whatever long after they've finished their food) Weekends are typically busy, so when you go, either go early, or go with a good dose of patience. However if you appreciate good food and a quaint local location, then please go here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Place is amazing. People who work there are awesome. Food is so good I can't decide what to eat so I order everything. Love the sandwiches, quiche, & definitely the stuffed tomatoes. The owner is really nice and it's a great little taste of French deliciousness. I will be back again and again. read more

Cute little cafe. I tried the pain du chocolate and caprese quiche. Really good! The parking was challenging and not much seating, but worth the effort. I will definitely come back. read more

oh my wowsers! yum to the yum to the yum yum. zoomed past this place for too long before I made a u-ey yesterday and popped in. got a baguette and chocolate croissant. had a couple scrumptious bites of each. got home to my small human, introduced them, and poof! devoured. Had to take the whole fams back the next morning. Even more amaze balls. small human ate another chocolate croissant, a quiche Loraine and a Madeline, and then proceeded to go for my croque Monsieur's other half. I managed to get a bite of everyone's breakfast at the table, all soooo yummable, too much to blah, blah, blah, It was all worthy of cinco estrellas. coffee rocked it as well. a new addition to my haute Leucadian love list. read more

Almond croissant is amazing, it was warm, flaky and you can taste the quality of ingredients used to make it. I also had the Croque Monsieur a ham and cheese open faced sandwich is on the most perfect crusty bread, flavorful cheeses and it has a nice little side of lettuce with a perfect amount of vinaigrette dressing. Best expresso drinks I have ever had! Love how little and cozy it is inside, outdoor seating with relaxing music and nice dog to meet you at the door. Parking isn't the best unfortunately and a little on the expensive side but totally worth it! read more

Drove by...and caught my eyes....YES it's very good for a light and quick bite. Very friendly atmosphere. I know the place is small. I wish they opened a REAL French Bistro like: La Bonne Bouffe use to be. I recommend this place HIGHLY to all the yelp members. read more

I have been going here since they opened and I am never disappointed. I almost always get the Le Dinde hot and the quiche with greens and my daughter and I split them, she's 2 1/2 yrs old and always eats her half! I've had lots of other stuff here and it's all great. The seating is all outside and they have a few toys for kids, which my daughter and I are huge fans of. The people that work here always remember us, which is nice :) love it here and we always bring out of town visitors here and they always love it too. read more

What a let down. Waited almost 50 minutes for a crepe. Was hoping the crepe would make up for the horrible delay. I was wrong one other worst crepes I have had in a long time. Terrible service terrible food and not even an apology after waiting 50 minutes. read more

We have been enjoying their delicious savory and sweet croissants, yummy sandwiches and crepes for years. I wasn't able to get pies at another local place for Thanksgiving and was maybe meant to be as I got a beautiful apple pie and pumpkin pie- gorgeous presentation and so good ( and I am not usually a pie fan). They are always pleasant and helpful. Love this place!!! read more

I would normally give the corner 5 stars, but today was the first time I didn't bother tip. The counter person barely acknowledged we were breathing, I felt like if not a regular I was unwelcomed. At least the lattes and sweets were their normal deliciousness and the lady who brought to the table pleasant. read more

Fabulous food and FANTASTIC coffee! I appreciate they have almond milk for vegan lattes!! Warning, the smell in their will make you want to eat everything!! Great quality! I can't say enough nice things about the food! Glad she is in our neighborhood!! read more

Awesome food and a rad spot for breakfast and lunch! We came here for the first time and ordered the le dinde and a ham and cheese crap. They were amazing! We're going to make it our everyday spot! read more

This was a great find. A local told me about it and boy I am glad they did. Everything we had was wonderful. They even serve fresh veggie & fruit juices they do right on sight. The only set back is they are expensive. But you must splurge once in a while. read more

The food is great, i've gone here a couple times and i'm always satisfied! a little pricy just for a cup of coffee but over all great!

This place is absolutely AWESOME! & DELICIOUS! Stumbled upon this little piece of heaven on our way back to Carlsbad from Whole Foods. Best way I can explain it was love at first sight! Along with a great location & excellent customer service, the food, coffee, and pastries are mouthwatering. Some of our favorites are the Le Caprese, Le Parme, Soup & Quiches outstanding! For dessert, Madeleine, Macaron and Crême Brûlée, and let's not forget their tasty Cappucino and Coffee. Personally I'm not big on coffee but here I have to have it on my dates with my Fiancé. We took my in-laws here on their visit from NY, it's not easy to impress them, but believe me they were beyond impressed!If you are looking for a unique and original place that offers a variety of heavenly goodies, I will recommend this place to anybody in or out of the area. read more

What a sweet little spot! Loved the pastries. Chocolate croissant with almonds was amazing. Sandwiches are made with fresh baguette- we've tried the ham and cheese and salami with brie. Both were delicious. Good selection of hot and cold drinks. We are lucky to have this in leucadia. read more

This is a French jewel dropped into our neighborhood. Fresh, delicious eat in or take away food. Friendly, appreciative owners. Make it a destination if you are visiting make it a frequent stop if you are a neighbor. read more

Lovely place, oustanding food!! The owner is a charming French woman who recommended a Quiche with brussel sprouts and blue cheese. Absolutely delicious!! Perfect texture and blend of flavors, with a side of fresh salad. Loved the dressing. I also added an almond brioche for dessert: soft and full of intensity. I'll definitely come back to try other great looking delights. read more

The food and pastries are awesome. Their mocha is my favorite of all the other places I get them. Just a great unique place in the Leucadia Encinitas area. Been going here almost every Saturday now that I had to update previous post. I've been wowed by the pastries every time. The almond croissants are crazy good. read more

Last summer service was great, coffee and pastries very good. This summer, service was poor, 3 mistakes made for our order, crepes were dry, tiramisu was like chocolate cheesecake. read more

Came by and enjoyed our breakfast here this morning.... What a cozy and delicious little place with such friendly staff! We highly recommend and will be back when in the area! read more

What did I spy with my little eye? The French Corner! After a long day of work, I popped in to try out this cute little bakery. While I think it was after business hours, the proprietor graciously allowed me to make some purchases. They were definitely tasty treats, such as chocolate cupcakes with raspberries, French Meringes, and lemon tarts. The only downside is finding a parking space. read more

The pastries are good, the coffee is just fine. I love their mille feuilles, their pains au chocolat, their croissants and all the rest of their viennoiseries. The location is spectacular, they sometimes have live musicians playing there. It's a pleasure to enjoy the sun with my kids each time we get a chance to stop by. read more

This is truly one of the gems in this community. The pastries, omelets and coffees were delicious and the ambiance is French country cool. Just Magnificent! read more

Great spot for breakfast and lunch. Sit outside in the back or out front and watch the world. Enjoyed both their coffee and crepes each time we've been. read more

New favorite spot in Leucadia! Such a cute location. Everything tastes so fresh and homemade. Lots of menu options ranging from crepes both savory & sweet to omelettes and baguette sandwiches. I'll definitely be back :-) read more

My husband and I travel...a lot. And we have a rule, it's a big world so until we do everything at least once, NO repeats! The French cafe is an exception. We stayed in Encinitas for 4 days, and ate here everyday. Lunch the first day and breakfast the next 3. I admit, I'm a Francophile, and croissants are my kryptonite. These are exceptional! We also tried the quiche and several of the crepes, sweet & savory! Like a trip to Paris with southern California weather, wonderful! read more

I found the food to be overworked, overcooked, dense, heavy, and disappointing. I tried it twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Both times I ordered egg dishes, which seems to be a primary offering. I got a breakfast sandwich a month ago and a quiche today, both went in the trash. I couldn't even eat the salad that came with the quiche because it was gritty. Sand? Dirt? Who knows. The quiche texture was closer to paste than custard. I'm not sure what the five-star reviewers had, but it couldn't have been what I ordered. These people cannot cook an egg. read more

Every time we're in the area we always stop here. It's so cute and such a great experience and if you like beautiful pastries you'll be blown away. The service is so kind and happy to help even with a larger party with children. Definitely recommend highly ! read more

Great finally a real bakery in Leucadia across from the Post Office.! have given it thumbs up trying her menu. The chocolate chips cookies are wonderful. Her bread is proper French Baguette baked everyday with no preservatives. II enjoyed the crepe as good as France.! My favorite is the fritata made with organic eggs and multi color potatoe with high quality cheese. The fresh squeezed Citrus juice a amazing and refreshing mix of tangerine, orange and grapefruit. Alexandra takes good care of her customers and that makes this place 5 stars . read more

Cute French café located right in Leucadia. The owner, Alexandra, is a fantastic chef. I love her Quiche Lorraine made with gruyere cheese. Alexandra and Luca make fantastic coffee and espresso drinks too. There are so many delicious options to choose from here. read more

Wonderful little French cafe. Full of flavor, you can taste that everything is homemade.

I really wanted to have a chance to give this place a good honest review but I never got a chance since I was a forgotten patron. After sipping some good coffee and waiting for about 1 hour if not more, I was disappointed. I watched more than 4 servers walked past me without noticing that my patient family has been sitting there hovering over our table number with no food. Some servers past us several times but did not noticed that we were there. As a very patient person, I was just thinking they were overwhelmed and busy but it was that our order was dropped by their system. Things like that do happen with computers but what made the situation bad was that the people working there could have easily corrected a system error by just asking us about our order between several passes by our table to serve other people. Overall, a horrible experience made worse by the fact that my kids were also quite patient in addition be very hungry. Before leaving I had to buy the kids a pastry to hold them over and the cashier said it was on the house cause she felt bad. Nice gesture but things like this shouldn't have happen in the first place, computer error or not, if servers were more attentive. read more

After waiting for 1 hour we checked our order, found out they forgot it... Bad service ever

Food was great! Friendly staff. Owner who is super friendly. We came a little late, they were actually closing down, she personally served us food and it was exceptional!!! 5 read more
