    I stumbled upon this place while waiting for my car to be washed and I was pleasantly surprised! First, the outdoor patio is adorable. The fresh flowers, cafe tables and chairs really transports you out of LA for a bit (just pretend you don't hear the traffic on Ventura Blvd). The cafe inside is small and I was originally sad I had to sit on the patio because it was a little chilly, but once I sat down I immediately felt immersed in the French environment they created. It was a perfect spot for reading a book with a cup of coffee! Second, the service was great. They were really knowledgeable with the menu and had quite a few recommendations when I wasn't sure what to order. The menu is pretty big, but they didn't make it intimidating. I also didn't have to wait too long (there was only one other group in the cafe and they already had their food). I got my coffee, which was fantastic, and my food only took about 5 minutes to get to me. There is a sign that says it can take up to 40 minutes to get food during peak hours- so beware! (I'm assuming their kitchen isn't crazy big, which is why it takes awhile) Third, I thought the food was great! The portion sizes are, in my opinion, huge. I ordered the Crepe A L'oeuf as recommended as a breakfast crepe and it was very tasty! Overall, I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this cafe for a lunch date, catching up with friends, or just to relax and have a cup of coffee.

    Plants matter more than the patrons. I stopped by this cafe on a whim. The outdoor patio has an abundance of plants, which makes the cafe warm and inviting. The inside is cozy, so taking your order to go or eating outside are better options. They have a bunch of knick knacks and hats, presumably to give off a french vibe. I kept it simple and ordered La Tomate Omelette that comes with salad and fresh bread. The salad was light and refreshing, while the french omelette was overcooked. It reminded me of a dry diner omelette, only worst because it was thin. It was nice that they give a fresh loaf of bread, but not something I want.

    Cute little quaint cafe on Ventura Blvd.... Another spot on the Blvd that was an amazing experience. We notice it while driving around trying to find a brunch spot. We noticed the umbrellas and tables first. It's a cute little French bistro cafe that offered good food. There's a couple of seat inside but majority of the seating is outside. Perfect for an afternoon of people watching and grabbing a nice meal. Potted plants offered that nice bistro vibe. There's also plenty of desserts that was offered as well as a little shop. Trinkets and such was offered. Pretty good place that we stumbled upon. Everything is made there to order. Food was great as well as service.

    If you're looking for a small, cute place, this is it. If you're looking for superb customer service and delicious pastries, this is not it. When I walked in there were several employees working diligently, which I respect, but a simple "Hi, welcome" would've been nice. Instead, I stood there waiting for a few minutes while being completely ignored. I ordered a pudding that looked to die for. They heated it up and served it in this cute little plate so I was really excited to try it, but when I took a bite I wasn't too impressed. It had good texture but not much flavor. Not terrible, but not memorable either. I didn't try their other food so I can only speak on this one pastry. I would've loved to come back and try other stuff but I just did not feel welcomed.

    Nutella (strawberry / banana) crepe and the salmon crepe!

    Amazing service, food, and atmosphere! The crepes were super fluffy and the ingredients were super fresh. Would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could, and will definitely be back! The staff, Lauren and Alma, are super friendly and very attentive.

    Omlette & Savory Crepe

    Great food, superb vibes, quaint and cute. Love coming here for a latte or a brunch type situation. Great service super nice employees. Music is always great too. My friend loved her chai latte and I was obsessed with my latte too. My friend had and Omelet and I had a crepe. 10/10

    Cute cafe on Ventura Blvd with not so cute customer service. I have been here twice and both times had a very unfriendly service from the employees. My first time here I came in with a friend for cappuccinos and crepes. Both were delicious and we loved it. We got the Nutella crepe and added bananas and strawberries. DELISH!!!! The second time I came in for breakfast with my husband and was very disappointed with the food we got. It was tasteless and the baguette we got with our omelette looked pale and not appetizing. It's a French cafe you would think they would serve a good baguette. So we ordered another crepe since we didn't finish our Omellete and egg salad tartine. I might give this place another try and order something else next time and hopefully meet a friendly team member.

    Great sandwiches

    If you're looking for a dog friendly place for lunch with delicious sandwiches, a very friendly staff, and quaint ambience, this cafe is a great place to consider. Oh - and the selection of desserts is awesome.

    I've never seen so many rude people in one place. One of the eggs in my food was clearly not fresh and spoiled. I tried to explain to them it didn't look or smelled fresh and the manager looked at me in the face and said: "I don't know what you want me to do". Never offered to fix the problem. I politely said, don't worry about it and gave her the plate back. She got all worked up and rudely answered: "I won't " and walked away with the plate that later was slammed against other dishes inside. I work in the restaurant business myself and I would never dare to be as rude to the customers like the 2 blonds in there were to me. If u are the owner be aware of ur servers killing your business! Have a nice day!

The lobster crepes were light yet rich and flavorful. To top off the meal, we got the chocolate soufflé which was heavenly. It wasn't overly sweet which is great since it was served with some vanilla ice cream, and chocolate/vanilla sauces. A great way to end the meal.

Our hostess was super friendly but our main server was a bit curt which put a damper on our experience. We got the feeling that we were annoying him which made our meal a bit awkward. We started with the baguettes and French onion soup. The bread was good and soup was one of the better ones I've had. Perfectly balanced but extremely overpriced at $25. For our entrees we got the burger and steak frites. The burger was juicy and delicious but they could tone it down a touch with the bordelaise sauce as it's a bit overwhelming and messy. The streak frites were perfectly cooked at medium rare but the peppercorn was a bit much and it was very salty. The true flavors of steak would have shined more with a lighter spices. We got the soufflé for dessert and was it was excellent. Overall our meal was good but I've definitely had better and lower prices so I don't see myself running back anytime soon. I will say that the valley location is much more of a vibe with a better lively atmosphere but the Hollywood location has better food.

The escargot was also very flavorful, especially if you enjoy garlic. The bread it comes with is a great touch since you can dip it into the sauce or pour the garlic butter over it. For entrées, we ordered the Atlantic salmon and the rack of lamb. The salmon tasted very fresh, but unfortunately lacked flavor. The rack of lamb -- which is considered their signature dish -- was tender, juicy, and worth trying at least once, but honestly the appetizers stood out more than the entrées for me. We also got two cocktails: the Pomegranate Margarita and the Casanova. Both were good and definitely on the sweeter side, so I'd recommend them if you enjoy sweeter drinks. Overall, I would come back mainly for the appetizers and cocktails.
