I walked up to the door and unfortunately they had closed at 4 PM and not sure if the owner saw me hang my head in despair but I started walking back to my car and he unlocked the door and asked how he could help me and I told him I was just looking for an iced coffee to go... he said come on in and I can fix you up one, my espresso machine is turned off, but I can give you some iced coffee with some flavoring if you would like... Matt, the owner, was very cordial and polite, and showed me in this day and time, that Customer Service is NOT dead... That people still go above and beyond for their customers...I will be back to spend my money with him on my coffee when I'm working in the area again... the coffee was awesome and refreshing.

I recently purchased an assortment of cakes, pastries, and quiches to take to a friend's house for brunch, and every item was delicious. The pastries were light, flaky, and beautifully made. The quiches were moist and creamy with a wonderful buttery crust that practically melted in your mouth. The cakes were not only elegant and looking fancy, but also incredibly flavorful. In fact, when you take that first bite, you can close your eyes and find yourself saying, "Wow... yummy!" They were that good. The bakery itself is sparsely decorated and simple, allowing the baked goods to be the main attraction. If you're stopping by for a treat, you can purchase a coffee and pastry and enjoy it at one of the indoor tables or outside seating areas. At around $8 per item, the pastries and desserts are a bit pricey, but the quality, freshness, and taste make them worth the splurge. Pricey? Yes. Delicious? Absolutely. If you're looking for authentic French-inspired pastries, cakes, and quiches, Renee's French Bakery is definitely worth a visit.

Our waitress approached and took our beverage order of water all around and one coffee. But the coffee did not show up until half way through the meal.

Not crispy as she asked for the lemon pancake was phenomenal according to our friend. Served a bit spotty with us ask for water refills a couple of times.

They do have some other things on the menu I will most likely try the next time I'm in the area. Overall it's a must visit if you're a coffee lover!

I'm genuinely sad to write this review--I truly wanted to give this place another five stars. I…read morehope the cafe takes this feedback to heart because this area really needs a great restaurant and coffee shop, and this spot has so much potential. The location is beautiful--right on the water--with a cozy, inviting interior that makes you want to stay a while. I've been here before, and my first visit left a better impression. The coffee was great that time, and I was excited to return. Unfortunately, my second visit didn't live up to the first. We ordered three coffees: the Snickerdoodle, Honey Bee, and Bean Redeem. All of them were overwhelmingly milk-forward with very little actual coffee flavor. The Snickerdoodle, which was supposed to have cinnamon notes, tasted mostly like vanilla and caramel. The Honey Bee didn't taste quite right, and the Bean Redeem lacked the white chocolate and toffee flavors advertised--it just came across as more vanilla. As for the food, we tried a variety: the biscuits and gravy, Sunrise Supreme, the Classic, and the Reg. Sadly, nothing stood out. The Reg and Classic were okay but lacked seasoning or anything memorable. The biscuits and gravy reminded us of the older McDonald's version--definitely not homemade. The Sunrise Supreme came on mini biscuits that were dry, and the sandwiches overall were just average. A recurring issue we noticed was that a lot of the items seemed prepackaged. The baked goods in the case looked like they came from Sam's Club. If the coffee had been excellent, we could have overlooked that--but with both the drinks and food falling flat, it's hard to justify a return visit right now. That said, I really want to see this place thrive. There's a great opportunity here to make it special: seasonal menus, house-made syrups, stronger flavor profiles in the coffee, and maybe even partnerships with local roasters and bakers. Showcasing fresh, local ingredients and dialing in the coffee recipes could turn this into a true gem. I'll be keeping an eye on this spot and genuinely hope to update this review in the future with a better experience.
