The owner needs to be held accountable. I went in here once and was disgusted by his behavior. He is very creepy and is weird to his teenage girl employees. Stay clear of this place.

We had bought pastries from here before, so we decided to come back by for lunch. I ordered the croque madame. For those who don't know, a croque monsieur and croque madame need to be made extremely specifically to be even close to authentic. A croque monsieur is a sandwich with ham, a cream béchamel sauce, and cheese - typically a gruyere or similar. The sandwich is then topped with more béchamel and cheese, then broiled to melt and brown the cheese. It's creamy, savory and cheesy. A croque madame is exactly the same with an egg on top, typically sunny side up or over easy. What Café Vendôme served me what not, by any stretch of the imagination, a croque madame. The sandwich I was given had clearly never been near a béchamel sauce. What this sandwich had on it was ham and a tiny pinch of shredded cheese (mozzarella I think), then more cheese on top, then topped with an egg that somehow managed to be nearly burnt on the bottom and raw on top. I was immensely disappointed in this. However, I cannot give this 1 star because while it was no croque madame, the ham and cheese sandwich I got was edible. The bread was fine, the cheese was fine, the ham was fine. I ate it, but I wasn't happy with it. My verdict -- get the pain au chocolat, avoid the croques.

Desserts are not bad, but the food lacks seasoning. I also watched a waitress sneeze into two coffee cups accidentally and then continue make cappuccinos in those coffee cups. Lost my appetite and do not plan to return.

Where has this place been all my life? The croissants are as great as any I've had in Europe and the selection of sweet treats amazing! Friendly service, fantastic pastries and lovely environment-perfect for a business meeting or midday rest.

NOT AUTHENTIC. Food is over priced and well as portions are small. As well as we got the most comical and sad excuse for a croque monsier ever. Our to go order did not have any napkins or utensils and the girl who gave it to us was very clearly unhappy. The other girl was nice who took or order.I would avoid this place like a plague

I've seen a few things about the poor service and involving the owner the unfortunate part of it all, the turn over rate and the poor service isn't necessarily the girls fault. From what I've learned from my many visits is the owner is way too hard on them, expects them to do management work for barely 13 an hour that he depends on our tips to pay them? I've heard nothing but horrible things about this owner, tip those girls in cash!! Although the food was good, it's insanely overpriced and the coffee is pretty okay at best. These girls need better jobs, I feel bad for them.

I came in with High hopes Unfortunately it didn't meet any of those. Customer service: the lady at cash register couldn't have been more disinterested in taking my order. I have to repeat it 3 times before she got it right. Still leading to my order being very late. Food: for the price, it was disappointing, it didn't help by the time our food arrived, it had already been over 20 minutes and it was cold. I had ordered a hot sandwich. I did enjoy the Tiramasu. Music : while I didn't doc any marks, I would expect with a French cafe something instrumental. After waiting the 20 minutes for my food, I told the waitress my coffee was missing and after waiting another 10 minutes I went inside to find what seems to be the owner of the company behind the coffee machine. I explained I was waiting for my coffee, he asked me where I was sitting and what number I was.. Turns out sitting outside they weren't able to see me and the girl at the register gave two people the same number so they thought they had served me. While he apologized, he did seem to have a number of reasons/excuses as to why it happened.. I'm not sure why in this day companies don't offer refunds or comps for their mess up.

I been coming for two years now. My first time was very welcoming and exciting. Personally I enjoyed the delicious food and beverages. Over the last two years the vibe of the atmosphere has changed. The customer service is very rude. In particular there is a woman working there with black hair. Never smiles. Never Thanks You for your purchase. They have a high turn around at the front desk. The girls are always so rude and un polite including the main woman. I am assuming she must be owner or manager. I can see why she also hires rude girls. I always get my food to go because it's not that welcoming coffee shop, or bistro vibe. They do treat you differently if your skin color is colored. I actually stopped going for many months , came back today only to feel so unwelcomed. Thought it was a Paris thing but it's not. Paris people aren't rude and if so you're in GA. In GA we have a thing called southern hospitality. Learn about it. I recommend joes coffee shop in East atlanta. They welcome everyone. Never say Hi. Never say May I take your order. Never say coke back. I see why they can't keep a good server or waiter. I can only imagine the work environment. If your looking for more a welcoming vibe

I think this place is overly expensive. The small tarts were more than 4$ each and a side of eggs was more than 6$. While being a French place I could potentially understand the price of the tarts 6$ for one scrambled egg is unacceptable.I won’t be back and won’t recommend.
Editing this review to state that I've been trying to get in contact with owner and he does not reply. You really think people are going to belive that you hire without any contact information. Hamid keep lying to yourself your as fake as it gets.Owner Hamid hasn't paid me for a very busy Sunday that i worked for, he also takes all credit card tips, he encourage employees to use one glove for everything, i think is very unsanitary, I was multi tasking jobs and salary is very low if you want support a business that is own by a greedy scammer go ahead.

I love this place. The employees are awesome and you can see how much the owner cares about the restaurant. Food and drinks are high quality. Love the Christmas decorations!Kid-friendliness: there are high chairs, a kids menu, and drinks can come with a capWheelchair accessibility: there are no stairs and chairs can easily be moved
Ridiculously expensive for what is served.Quiches and Croque were tiny and dry. The croissants looked like Publix quality for 5.50 a piece. Just make the trip to Paris Baguette and spend 20% less for 50% more. Service was good though.

The service and the food was incredible the best coffee in Atlanta .Thank you very much ❤️?
The service is horrible,,the lady who waited on us walked away without completing our orders. I was so in awe that we all walked out! I then called the owner,he apologized and said he was short staffed, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone!! The Attitude from that young lady was unacceptable!
Best croissants in Atlanta. 10/10
