We had a party of 6 and owner wanted all of us to squeeze around a 4 top table. They had plenty of tables open and she refused to put 2 tables together or let us use 2 tables. She said if it’s a party of 5 or more we need to make a reservation to obtain two tables in the future. So moral of the story if you have a larger party and don’t want to be squeezed on a 4 top table make a reservation. Owner let us walk out and didn’t care to lose business. They are connected to another store. Clean location but very plain.we ended up at Sugar Jam across in the parking lot and food was delicious!

Café Paris: A Taste of France in ScottsdaleA review by a satisfied customerIf you are craving for some authentic French pastries, you don't have to fly to Paris. You just have to drive to the Café Paris in Scottsdale, where you will find the most delicious and flaky croissants, pain au chocolat, eclairs, and more. We discovered this gem driving to pick up some wine at Total Wine. We were a bit skeptical, but curious, so we decided to give it a try. The pastries here were as good as the ones we have had in Paris.As soon as I entered the cafe, I was greeted by the friendly owner, who was also the pastry chef. He had a display of freshly baked goods that looked so tempting, I wanted to try them all. I settled for a few items and took them home. We had them for breakfast with some coffee, and I was blown away by how amazing they tasted. They were light, airy, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth. They had the perfect balance of sweetness and richness. They were, in a word, heavenly.I can't recommend the Café Paris enough. It is worth the drive, even if you live far away. It is a rare treat to find such authentic and high-quality French pastries in Arizona. The owner is passionate about his craft and takes pride in his creations. He also offers other items, such as macaroons which we also tried. They were equally fantastic; he serves other dishes as well which we will try on anther visit. Do yourself a favor and visit the Café Paris. You will be glad you did.Parking: Easy parking
Food was good, although my French onion soup was salty. The crepes suzette were delicious. I was disappointed that they did not give us an itemized check. They have you go up front to pay and just give you a total. The receipt isn't even itemized!

The BEST breakfast I've had in a very long time. The ham and mozzarella omelette was cooked perfectly and tasted excellent. The roasted potatoes were also cooked perfectly and tasted equally excellent.. And then the croissant with butter and jam was the perfect accompaniment to the meal.Great service tooVery glad to have found this place while in the area for work. Definitely recommend! It's a shame I fly back home and can't enjoy this place regularly

The definition of a hole in the wall, but totally worth it. Can’t wait to come back for another croissant.

This restaurant is a delight! It is run by a French family, and the food is prepared very authentically and beautifully. Pictures on the wall are all different reminders of France, and for any visitor that has been to France or is an expat from France will have their memories come to life. Everything we have had here has been excellent, but we usually can't pass up the half panini and soup special and we upgrade to the french onion soup which we love. They also have a large selection of crepes that are delicious. The restaurant opens up into The Scottsdale Design Center which is just a slight distraction, but that is the only possible negative. You will be happy you visited!

As the name suggests, the café is run by French people. The food is appropriately French-influenced, a pleasant change from the other local restaurants. Very good quality, extremely tasty. And not even expensive. Recommended!Parking: Plenty of parking spaces in front of the door.

I've lived in the area for over 10 years and have never had a chance to stop into this place, but so glad I finally did! The cafe is in an unassuming location next to Costco and in the Scottsdale Design Center. Service was prompt and friendly. Vanilla latte and quiche Lorraine were 10/10. Will go back for sure! Regretting not stopping in sooner.

Waited until 11:00 a.m. to be able order a baguette sandwich. So not worth the wait as the baguette tasted like it was whole wheat and was soft. Absolutely nothing like a real French baguette in taste and such a disappointment, especially for the price.French onion soup was terrible and another disappointment. No authentic rich flavor.Kind of a joke calling themselves a French cafe. Even a chain sandwich restaurant would be better than this.In an industrial park so not a typical shopping center. Be careful as there are a lot of large trucks making it difficult to get in and out at times.
