    Egg frittata omelette with goat cheese, smoked salmon, and French style toasts done in a pan
    Mohsin R.

    This French patisserie and breakfast place is amazing.. we had been to this place multiple times and tried the meringue, the different patisseries, amazing!!.. but the breakfast is even more heavenly.. the frittata omelette is a pure delight.. I normally add smoked salmon as extra protein to it.. the goat cheese is so velvety.. to finish it off, coffee French style [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is also very bakery style.. love the Paul Hollywood British bake show episodes being played regularly on the nice size screen in the background.. also the water is served in bormiolli rocco textured water glasses..[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Went to Versaille for the first time a few days ago. It was on a Saturday morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My friend and I were concerned it'd be super busy so we got there at 9am. Well, we not only got a comfy seat, but it never got completely full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sure there were people in line for pastries, but they took to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We stayed till 10:30 and it never got crazy busy. Yay! This review is mostly for the experience. I didn't want a huge breakfast, so asked if I could just order toast and a couple eggs. They were great about this and charged me fairly. I also got a vanilla latte, which was great. We mostly wanted to spend time together in a comfy, not crazy-busy place. That's hard to find on a Saturday morning. But we found this gem and it was perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was cute, very pink and had the British Baking Show on the huge TV the whole time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Haha, it was so funny ... there wasn't sound, so it wasn't distracting. Kinda added to the vibe. The servers were great - any of them at any time would take our order, answer questions or bring our food. It didn't matter. They were all helpful and aware. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's outdoor seating as well. I think it's got something for everyone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately I didn't try any pastry, next time I will. Great place and worth a try!

    Almond Croissant (partially devoured)

    Charming, adorable Parisian cafe with lovely, attentive staff. Extensive menu with many classic, French selections. Croissants and Pastries are authentic and BEYOND delicious. The almond croissant and cafe mocha were absolute perfection... cry worthy!

    I have previously only gone to Versailles for just pastries which have all been great but this was the first time I came for breakfast and was surprise how incredible the avocado toast was! It had caramelizad onions and a perfectly poached egg on it. The fruit cup was a a great selection and very fresh. The mocha was great too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and it was very relaxing and our waiter was very attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would love to try more items on the menu.

    We met a friend here for a weekday brunch. With a choice of indoor and outdoor seating, we opted for a table on the patio, which overlooks the parking lot. I started with a croissant (2/5) and coffee (4/5), like I would do in Paris. Sadly, the croissant fell short -- warm but soft, not crispy. For brunch, we had: Normand Eggs Benedict (3/5) -- Smoked salmon, two poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce on English muffin, with tomato and potatoes (3/5). The eggs were poached hard. ($20) Quiche Lorrain (4/5) -- This classic French egg dish, made with ham and Swiss cheese, is a favorite of mine. Versailles did a very good job, and the portion served was generous. It was served with a side salad of mixed greens with a nice vinaigrette dressing (4/5). ($18) Service was slow, maybe because we were the only ones dining on the patio. Coffee refills were slow in coming. A negative for the patio is the traffic noise from El Camino Real.

    Mixed Berries and Nutella Crepe

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This spot is so cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Initially I was a little nervous because I'm all sure we've all experienced a cute spot, but the food was mid at best. I'm so glad this spot was both cute AND the food was delicious. What we got: - Panini Orleans: grilled chicken, mozzarella cheese, pesto -- such a classic and yummy panini - Mixed Berries and Nutella Crepe -- my mom really enjoyed their crepes and finished almost an entire one to herself lol The service here was also impeccable, you can tell they have their regulars, so you know it's good! The lady who took my order was beyond kind and even told me that the owner of this spot was from Versailles, France and wanted to bring the flavors and cuisine here.

    The good: great pastries and croissants. Food is good too. The Bad: terrible service if you decide to dine-in and order at your table. This is not a one-time occurrence either. Been here 3 -5 times in the past 2 months. Today was the topper though. They gave us menus when we walked in and despite 3 different employees walking right by, over a 10 minute period, none of them acknowledged us. Not even the server serving the table right next to us. So I get up and walk to the register where 3 employees are hovering around the front counter, nobody really doing anything that seemed urgent. I let them know we've been sitting and waiting for a good 10 min plus for someone to take our order. Gal at counter took my drink order and says someone will take my order when they bring my cappuccinos. Great, I guess we'll be waiting another 5 or so minutes to place our order. Once they took our order, food came out in a reasonable time but that was it. No checking back with us or any of the standard sit-down restaurant service. I even had to go up to register to grab my check. It's a shame a restaurant with better than average food can't perform average customer service. Pastries are solid 4.5 stars but I am giving 2 stars to see if we get the attention of the owners/management. PS. There was lipstick on my coffee cup too.

    Brioche french toast
    Joanna R.

    I will be honest- first time going to this establishment. I had driven by lots of times always busy. I stopped by today walked in, had no idea if i could just sit at a table, wait to be seated or if i had to order at the counter and then look for seating as some establishments have this kind if seating. There were not signs, so i just got in line to order, at the register i gave my order- no clear menus for food in site- even the lady behind me asked me, i told her im using my phone to see the online menu, once i got to the counter the individual asked "your getting your french toast to go? Or wait are you at a table already" i thought it odd, i confirmed i was eating at a table or counter just had not picked it out yet. Then thats when i noticed other people just as confused as me. I went to the counter with my number. I started to notice that people already sitting and eating were being brought their check. And their orders being taken. So then it clicked- counter is for to go, if you dine in just sit at a table or counter and wait for someone to notice to take your order. Over all the food is good the macchiato was fantastic just confusing as a first timer going in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its very busy for eating alone there is the counter spaces or for smaller parties that dont mind counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its good place to eat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Very cute place with delicious breakfast and pastries. I had a breakfast sandwich and a cup of chai latte. Sandwich is very good with croissant bread and silky fluffy eggs inside. The chai latte is over sweet but the taste is pretty nice. I also love the atmosphere here, but it's a little bit too squeezed. The service is nice but a little bit slow.

    Versailles Café is such a charming gem in Encinitas! I stopped by for breakfast and had the Florentine omelette along with a blueberry tart, and everything was absolutely spot on. The omelette was perfectly cooked -- not runny, but more on the well-done side, just how I like it -- and generously packed with fresh spinach and mushrooms. It came with a side of fresh fruit that was actually fresh (not the usual mushy kind you sometimes get elsewhere), and every bite tasted bright and delicious. The blueberry tart was the perfect finish -- lightly sweet, with berries that were perfectly ripe and bursting with flavor. You can really taste the care that goes into their pastries. If you're craving fresh pastries, sandwiches, quiches, or a cozy breakfast spot, Versailles Café is the perfect stop in Encinitas. I'll definitely be back to try more!

    Raspberry tart
    Danielle K.

    This place has THE BEST raspberry tart ive ever tasted in my LIFE. I'd go out of my way to get it. Its got fresh berries on top & its filled with what tasted like creme brulee to me! So fancy and so so worth the price. The crust also held up the whole way; it didnt fall apart and dump custard everywhere on the plate. THAT is the mark of a good tart. My mom had the quiche lorraine and she enjoyed it! The brie was incredible. I had a sadly disappointing chicken sandwich. The bread was amazing and i ended up getting some (french!) butter which was delish and just eating the bread. The chicken kinda tasted funny to me. It was good with some of my mom's brie on it tho haha I would absolutely come back here and maybe get breakfast because someone next to us got french toast and i almost ran over there to eat it myself. They have quite a selection of pastries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is adorable: pink and fresh flowers! Very cute and fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately our waiter disappeared and we had to get help from other serves which was kind but no one stopped back to check on us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plentiful parking and clean bathrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a must visit and i KNOW ill be back for that tart. Honestly i could easily eat 2 at once.

    Such an adorable little cafe with a French flair. You can get pastries to go or sit down and enjoy the vibe. I had the cheese and spinach quiche which came with a slice of Brie cheese on top and a salad of mixed greens - delicious! We also shared a raspberry tartlet, which made me wish I had more room for more dessert! Service was a little spotty, but overall not bad. I'd love to come back and try the chocolate creme brûlée

    Dessert trio
    L L.

    Late afternoon picked up a few beauty, fancy delectable desserts for a 25th birthday. Nice selection, chose the healthy colorful (favorite) blueberry butterfly tart, the raspberry macaron, and a chocolate birthday sprinkled truffle for a nice trio. Fast friendly service. Easy parking. No Vegan but vegetarian which suits the birthday lady.

We ordered the Turkey Pesto Panini and the 'Trust Me Dude' Panini which came with a side of chips. Both were delicious but, Trust Me Dude... you're gonna want to try that one cause the name all the sudden made sense with the first bite. It was unlike any sandwich I've had before, in the best way possible! I also had the double chocolate cookie and didn't even get a picture cause I ate it so fast, it was that good! The cafe is spacious and had indoor and outdoor seating. They also had a shelf with games and a chalk board mentioning different themed events like game night and cookie decorating classes. It feels like they are not only trying to create a great restaurant, but a little community. They also take allergies very seriously so you can feel safe here. Can't wait to go back and try new things, so happy to have this new gluten free option available.
