I had the pastrami sandwich with Fries and it was pretty good. I also tried a breakfast sandwich and it was missing flavor, but the sandwiches were a good size. Overall. Nice place for quick bite and a walk on the beach which is 1 block away. Be careful if you have a sweet tooth. Pastries are really good. I had a creme Brulee and a cherry and cream cheese Croissant.

Wonderful setting and even more wonderful food.We got the chicken panini and chicken salad croissant. Both very generous servings. The soup du jour was a tomato soup that was heavenly. Will definitely be back for breakfast or an afternoon wine or cafe.

Great French cafe in the Riviera. The food is always really good and tasty. They also have a pâtisserie (pastry shop) attached to the restaurant where they sell beautiful and delicious French pastries. They have a kid friendly menu as well.Also, I love the French flags they have on display and how the gentle sea breeze always keeps them in motion. Highly recommend this place!

Yummmmmmmy breakfast. Very happy with the most recent visit. Great cappuccino. The baguette was solid. Looking forward to this new spot and trying out the different patisserie.

Absolutely beautiful !! This little cafe was walking distance from Redondo Beach and (thankfully) the only cafe I could find open in the area on Christmas Day. I was sooooo surprised the loveliness of the interior and the selection of baked goods they had. I got an iced coffee, croissant, and chocolate croissant. I really enjoyed the chocolate croissant a lot! Hope to visit again soon next time I'm in town! Food recs: chocolate croissant

Food is not good here. Pastries are stale which is why most days this restaurant is empty. I also live in the building but will move as soon as my lease is up due to the rude noise level from the set up morning staff at 6am to 8am every morning. If you don't live here you cannot write a fake good review about the noise level. Starting 5am up to 8am. The morning staff DRAGS the STACKS of plastic chairs that Vibrate very loud echo noise along the tile flooring outside. The noise from plastic chairs makes a Screeching noise when dragged along the floor. The chairs are then unstacked very loudly it sounds like the slam the chairs apart from the stack. Instead of logically lifting the chairs they are dragged several feet making louch echo Screeching noise. The owner stated they would stop this but it's getting worse forcing me to to leave this genuine review.

This place is so good! The pastries are amazing. The breakfast plates, sandwiches included are really large portions. The ambiance is cute too. My husband and I came twice in the same week because we liked it so much! Will definitely be back.

I have been here numerous times now. No matter who is working, they have been friendly, informative and efficient! Today was my first time to have the Italian sausage omelette and it was delicious. The Italian sausage crumbles were plentiful and small, spread throughout the whole omelette. They were further enhanced by the diced sweet red bell pepper and tiny tomato pieces. The cheese was plentiful and a perfect complement to it. I also ordered a pecan caramel bar which I have had before and absolutely loved. If you like pecan pie, try it. It's amazing and my husband and son both agree. It's a good way to get my pecan pie fix without having to bake a whole pie.

Whenever there is a french cafe, i have been more inclined to check out.Service: You can either sit down and they will serve your or you can go to the counter and they can bring it to you.Ambiance: Relatively small spot where you can maybe fit two parties of 6 and a couple of two seaters. You can eat outside too since it is near the beach.Food: the food, the reason why you can come to any cafe is the food. I was reading my bible while enjoying a bacon and egg crossant sandwich. ( you can get on wheat toast if you prefer). I got a vanilla latte as well.Coffee presentation was just your typical plastic cup. I hope next time they can serve it in a glass if served here. Delish none the less.Then the sandwich it self was a lot bigger than i thought which is always great. The french is known for their bread and pastries and it did not disappoint. I was bragging to my friend when you get good food, you are in a good mood.Parking: paid parking on the street.Overall amazing, friendly service and great breakfast meal that I had. Breakfast is served until 2pm.

The ambiance of this cafe is multi cultural and so is their menu. Although the croissants and other tempting baked goods are beautifully arranged, I still enjoyed their warm tea and small salad enough to take home what I couldn’t finish. I also enjoyed their samosas. Next time I will try their coffees, and definitely one of their croissants or smaller chocolate delights in their glass cases. A very enjoyable experience! The service was very considerate of our comfort in enjoying our meal!
