This is specifically a coffee review. I have loved Bellecour in the past, specifically the downtown…read morelocation. But my experience at the Edina location today was very disappointing. The cafe is remodeled and super cute with a fair amount of seating and the food coming out of the kitchen looked good. They have walk up service where you order at the counter and I just wanted a simple iced almond latte. I waited 20 minutes for it. And I was not the only one. The young girl at the front counter finally had to go in the back to find the barista because a lot of people were waiting for drinks. It's summer so a lot of iced drinks being ordered but they were not prepared and they ran out of lids for their iced cups so were using regular cups. And the latte literally just tasted like cold almond milk. :( I was already running late for my hair appointment because of the long wait so didn't have time to go back in to get them to remake it. I will not be going back there for coffee.

I have yet to stop thinking about my breakfast from Bellecour!! In the morning it is an order at…read morethe counter cafe with pastries and small breakfast menu. We stopped in here after nearby workout class. I started with a creme brulee croissant and wish I had gotten second. I had a french omelet and the eggs were perfectly cooked and the cheese melted into each bite with the perfect amount of flavor. It looked like it may be hard to grab a seat, but there was plenty of turn over and we got a seat right away. The atmosphere was relaxing and filled with positive energy - people catching up, on a first date, or even reading. I am excited to come back to try more pastries variations & grab a coffee.

The Sarah cake with it's pistachios, eclairs that aren't soggy, strawberry Napoleans, etc... The hardest part is choosing. I want to buy 20 but settle for 2.

Don't skip a dessert, or two, better three.

There is free parking but this place is located in a strip mall, so it does make it harder to find a spot. The service here was interesting. The "shift lead" seemed very confused ringing us up. It was as if he had never used the computer before. He also seemed frazzled. It really wasn't busy, so I'm not sure what was going on. Later, when we were seated, he did come and clean up our table and I did see him talking with others guests. We got really excited when we walked in because all of the desserts looked so good! Unfortunately this is where is really took a nose dive. The lemon tart was good but the crust was so hard we couldn't even cut into it. The cheesecake and tiramisu had bland flavors and the textures were so off putting... not what you would expect from a place that looked like this. Thor is indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance is supposed to be French but it didn't feel very French. It was very dark in indoor part and outdoors had lighting but they seemed to be just thrown up and many of the light bulbs were out. All around I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially when there are amazing bakeries around the area

We got in around 6:10 while the restaurant closed by 7. By the time we learn the menu and ordered, we were told most of the savory items can't be ordered as the restaurant will close soon. We had wish that was announced to us as we walked in, so that would allow us to go elsewhere or focus on the items we can order. Unfortunately we have upsetting kids that couldn't order what they wanted, spent longer time to find things to order, resulting hangry kids. All could have been avoided had we know.

The biscuit is perfect, the fried chicken is exceptional, the sausage gravy is divine, the bacon is cooked well (and I'm kind of picky with bacon). Fabulous combo. I really can't speak highly enough of this place. My wife enjoyed the other breakfast sandwich pictured and noting how crowded this place has always been says a lot. The only critical thing you could say is the location is in a small strip mall with limited indoor seating but the ambience is great if you do find a seat. I will continue to go out of my way for this place and recommend giving it a visit.

Take note, the sandwiches are serviced with biscuits, not their bread... which was a bit of a bummer. On a downside, the service was very poor.

We accidentally spilled a cup of water, and when we went to the front desk to ask for a towel to clean up they were not very kind.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was very good. One recommendation: try the French toast.

You're able to make a reservation online. Availability was good. Though we had some more family wanting to join. I gave the restaurant a call and they were super helpful in increasing our party size. Our server was also wonderful. Very patient with our large group, especially the kids. - Space is big and airy. Lots of cool, colorful art. Cons: - A little loud. Definitely not an intimate brunch spot. - Bathrooms could have been a little nicer. The toilet seat in one of the stalls was crooked. And the sink area was a little disheveled.
