She was so patient with me, as I made up my mind. I bought an almond croissant and a moulan pastry. They were both fabulous. The almond croissant was light and flaky with a delicious filling. The moulane pastry had coconut cream, mango filling, and layers of heavenly goodness. I just wanted to savor the taste. It was craveable. My last review was 3 years ago when they opened. I am so glad to see the same quality and love baked into each of their desserts.

I got the strawberry matcha, and usually I get disappointed at cafes. However, at Mirabeau, their drink exceeded my expectations. The strawberry puree was the perfect consistency, tartness, and sweetness. The matcha itself was a nice green color, slightly earthy and bitter, like how it should be! Together, the drink was refreshing and slightly sweet. I also got the tiramisu and black tea Madeleine. The tiramisu was soft with a coffee packed flavor! Not too/overwhelmingly sweet. The madeleine was wonderfully crunchy on the outside and soft on the outside. A 10/10 experience

The frosting used on the outside and the cream used on the inside was not the fluffy and soft kind we liked and was not similar to the other cakes from this bakery that we liked. It tasted like hard butter and unfortunately we had to throw out the entire cake since everyone refused to eat more than the first bite. My husband asked the employee if this was a vanilla sponge cake and they said yes since he cannot eat chocolate cake. Unfortunately once we cut it, it was chocolate. It was a waste of $50+ and would not recommend unless you're just purchasing for pictures and not to eat. The mango and strawberry croissants were good with sweet whipped cream. I liked how the cream also tasted like mango in the mango croissant. The sweet pretzel was also good and crunchy. The inside of the store is nice with plenty of tables. I also liked how there were a lot of outlet spaces.

There's seating inside, but the seating area is pretty small and some people were at tables looking like they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. It was a nice morning, so we were able to grab an outside picnic table. The service was decent. One disappointment was when the counter person asked me if I wanted room for cream in my coffee, I said yes and asked if they had nondairy products. She said they had almond and soy. I asked for soy and she returned with my drink. When I went to pay, I saw they charged 79 cents for almond, soy and oatmilk. Ok. Here's the thing. I assume it's on the board and I should have looked, but she also could have mentioned it. Also, charging for these items when they put a little in your coffee leaves me feeling like I'm being abused for not being a dairy person. I get it - it's a pastry shop and the items are buttery and rich from cream. But please - 79 cents for a little soy milk? (I know this isn't uncommon for coffee shops, but it doesn't make it right.). And the coffee ($4.25) was decent - not great. I expected better (richer, more flavorful) coffee from a nice pastry shop like this. Anyway, it's a nice neighborhood place and there's a lot of treats there.

The offerings are "European-inspired". It's part of a national food service and bakery company called Vie de France Yamazaki Inc., and has a network of US distributors, so, it's a chain. There's always a lot of pastries, breads and desserts available, which I appreciate. Overall their baked goods are consistent. I've never tried their sandwiches or entrees. I enjoy their almond croissant with chocolate drizzle; it's crispy and gooey where it should be. The apricot & cream tart is satisfying. There's a wide variety of cookies and muffins, with specials here and there, and generally these are up to snuff. The coffee is usually well brewed. It can get busy, especially on the weekends. Seating is very limited; only a couple of tables outside (overlooking a busy parking lot). This is mostly a to-go spot.

Last Sunday, I wanted to happily buy a cake for Mother's Day but after I already paid as price tag was shown. The owner suddenly came over and said there was an extra charge because it was a "Mother's Day Special" . Apparently "Special" means rising the price by surprising their customers. Honestly, if there's a holiday surcharge, I would truly understand! But it should be clearly stated before payment -- not after. Very disappointing experience. I only bought it because my mom loves mango cake, but I definitely won't be coming back again I am pretty certain that you're not allowed to raise the price on an item already paid for. It's not the money. It's the principle. This is unethical.

I ordered the chai tea latte, bacon twist, and spinach and feta quiche. The chai was delicious, not too spicy and not too sugary. The bacon cheese twist was much sweeter than I was expecting. I was hoping for something very savory, but the brown sugar made it more like a sweet pastry. It would be cool if they had two versions - one salty and one sweet. The quiche was my favorite item, the crust just melts in your mouth, yet it wasn't super heavy. It was a perfect way to start the day that would be just enough to get me through until lunchtime. If I worked in Chevy Chase, I'd be here every day for breakfast and coffee. It's so much better than Starbucks. I'd much rather get my sugar from quality baked goods than from syrupy coffee.

My Day Definitely Felt Lucky & Even More Blessed! Parking Was Easy Since It Was Early Morning. It's Street Parking With A Meter App, & I Believe There's Also A Nearby Lot For Busier Times.

While Waiting In Line, I Couldn't Help But Notice The Display Of Pastries.... Absolutely Beautiful. From Thin Cookies To Buttery, Golden Croissants And Donuts...

AVOCADO EGG & CHEESE CROISSANT SANDWICH - $12 Fluffy Scrambled Eggs, Fresh Sliced Avocado, Swiss & American Cheese On A Buttery, Perfectly Toasted Croissant With A Slightly Sweet & Savory Aioli. Let Me Tell You This Was By Far The Best Croissant Breakfast Sandwich I've Ever Had!!!!!!!! No Exaggeration. My Jaw Literally Dropped. Every Bite Was Rich, Flavorful, And Perfectly Balanced. The Croissant Was Flaky Yet Soft, The Eggs Were Light & Fluffy, & That Aioli Brought Everything Together. Kisses To The Chef ‍ Because They Really Did Their Thing On This. WOW. CHOCOLATE DIPPED BISCOTTI - $3 House-Made, Buttery, Crunchy, & So Satisfying. The Chocolate Side Was Rich And Delicious, But Honestly? Even The Plain Side Was Incredible On Its Own.

Definitely One Of Those "Don't Judge It Until You Try It" Moments. The Staff Were Nice And Helpful. You Can Tell They Take Their Time To Get Everything Right, From The Food To The Overall Experience & It's Absolutely Worth The Wait. I'm Honestly Still In Disbelief At How Good Everything Was. The Food, The Atmosphere, The Experience... All Top Tier. I'm Lowkey Mad I Didn't Come Here Sooner, But This Is Definitely One Of My New Favorite Spots. I'll Be Putting Everyone I Know Onto This Place. I'll Absolutely Be Back & I'm Already Hoping They Open A Location Closer To Me.
