Dining on Feb 23rd, 2026…read more What a charming and cozy French cafe! This classy bistro is run by wife and husband, Noelle & Duc Liao. Noelle manages and buys for the business and Duc does all the cooking and baking. With Noelle spending 15 years residing in Paris, and Duc over 30 you can see their passion for French cuisine. My friend loved her lobster salad sandwich accompanied by a spring mix. I loved the French vinaigrette that came with my salad! It was lip smacking! I wish I could buy some to take home. With a variety of in house made pastries and baked goods, I'm eager to return for coffee time or dinner on Fridays or Saturdays evenings. BYOB if you care to have some liquor accompany your meal, hours 5-7 pm. Plenty of free parking in this strip mall. The genuine cheerful service is refreshing as is the Paris influenced interior decor. Employees were gracious and didn't even make us feel rushed even when we realized it was 20 mins past their posted operating hours. I've heard that three quarters of their business is from returning customers. I too, will become one of them!

Tried Merci French Café & Patisserie on Indian School Rd, and it's one of those places that makes…read moreyou feel like you should be wearing sunglasses and pretending you're "just popping in for a little pastry." (I did not. I ordered a full breakfast and a waffle like an adult with priorities.) I went around 9:15am on a Wednesday--only a few tables were occupied, and the staff was super friendly, gave great recommendations, and the food came out fast. Inside is dialed in with chandeliers, French-y posters and photos everywhere, and a pastry case with tarts, pastries, and cheesecake that basically dares you to behave. The croissant was the star... fresh, flaky, light, buttery... exactly what you want. The egg was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted into it almost like a mini omelette (loved that). My only hiccup was the "bacon." It leaned more limp pork belly than crispy bacon and had a distinct smoke flavor that wasn't the traditional hardwood/hickory vibe I'm used to. Also... because the cheese and egg are fused together, it's basically impossible to pick the bacon out once it's in there. Next time I'd order it without bacon or ask for it on the side and make it crispy. It came with a side salad, which is not what I expected with breakfast, but it was actually great, fresh spring mix and a delicious dressing with a subtle sweet undertone. There were also hash browns with a crispy exterior and soft, warm interior, exactly the texture you hope for I just wish there were more of them! Because I have no self-control around French cafes, I also ordered the Belgian waffle with fruit and whipped cream. The waffle was warm and tasty, more tender/soft than crispy, and I ended up preferring it to the 'scrape the roof of your mouth' style that most restaurants serve up. The whipped cream tasted freshly whipped and the fruit selection was generous. My only critique: I'd skip the granulated sugar on top. The waffle is sweet enough already, and biting into sugar crystals isn't my favorite texture. For a drink I tried the blueberry lavender matcha. It had crushed blueberries in it, but the matcha flavor was pretty mild and the lavender got lost. I also would've liked a touch more sweetness from the syrup but overall it drank a bit "soft" and subtle. Bottom line... really cool little spot with friendly service, quick food, and a pastry case that will absolutely ruin any plan you had to "just eat light." I'll be back but next time I'm customizing that croissant sandwich and letting the pastries talk me into bad decisions.

I was in town for business and my colleague has a gluten-free allergy so we picked the spot because…read morethey offer a lot of gluten-free options. I will say I think we ordered too much food We had the burrata and the hummus to start. I had the barbecue ranch salad with chicken and she had the rustic bowl with steak. Everything was really good. The hummus was phenomenal. I wish the chicken in my salad was hot versus cold, but I would definitely come back here. Service was great really cool vibes inside they do offer outdoor seating as well.

They have bread and pesto for the table and the pesto was the BEST thing i've ever eaten. The bacon wrapped dates were amazing. I am not a fan of dates but these were quite yummy!! The bruschetta was good but I would not order them again, they're very plain. Not in a bad way, but you can get this combo anywhere. The scallops melted in my mouth and they were absolutely delicious. My husband's braised ribs were delicious as well, the mashed potatoes were smooth. We wish we saved room for dessert! Highly recommend for your next date night! We made reservations the morning before and they had availability. I would recommend reservations to secure a table since this place is very popular over the weekend.

The menu offers everything from classic favorites to more unique, creative options -- so there's something for everyone. My daughter has celiac disease, and I was especially impressed that our server immediately understood what that meant. She confidently walked us through all the gluten-free options and made us feel completely comfortable ordering. That level of knowledge and care goes a long way. From the moment you walk in, you can tell how much thought has gone into the decor and atmosphere. It's inviting, detailed, and adds to the overall experience. We'll absolutely be recommending this place -- and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Ofc I will definitely come back to visit when I am in town again. Definitely give it a try when you are around the area.

The place was also very clean and upbeat. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

You order at the counter and pick up your order to eat at a table or to go. They make great baked goods (loved the cookies) and wonderful fresh soups. The soups vary, with daily specials. They also make wonderful salads and I really like the grilled cheese sandwich, which has a tasty mix of a few kinds of cheese melted together, and their freshly baked bread. It's a nice location to take kids because across the street is the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, and you can see the beautiful big red train from the restaurant.
