Tried the other two pastries mentioned in my previous review. The triangular one ended up being an apple turnover. It was enjoyable, with an interesting twist of using what seemed to be apple puree for the filling! The puree wasn't sickeningly sweet or slimy, so I think it was house made. I believe the round pastry was a cinnamon swirl. It was very light (too light for me), and was unfortunately crumbly dry. As Meatloaf said in one of his songs, "Two outta three ain't bad."! I'll be visiting again

Grabbed some dessert and a cup of coffee on my way home and it was the best choice of the day. Every pastry and dessert looked so fresh and delicious.I’ve tried most of the coffee near this area and I’m certainly sure this is the BEST PLACE TO GET COFFEE. Since I found this place, I have been getting my morning coffee from there.Def recommend if you pass by

Was on my way to work and decided to pick up a few things for the office. Got an assortment of croissants and muffins. Everything was very fresh and a big hit at the office. Will be going back next time I need some baked goods or for a lunch out.

Very clean and organized cafe, with great staff attending to the customers. Went during closing hours, and they were VERY friendly and helpful in my choosing as out of the variety of drinks that they have. Their peanut butter latte, which I questioned heavily at first, turned into a great surprise, and I cannot wait to try out their other drinks in future visits.

Based on drinks, pastry/food, cleanliness, service, and atmosphere, I would give Branché an overall rating of 8.5-9 out of 10. I appreciated their innovativeness with the drinks, which I don’t often see in other cafes in the area. They came out with new lattes - the blueberry and pistachio being my favorites(I was doubtful about the taste but was pleasantly surprised). Though I haven’t tasted a variety of the food & pastries myself, my friends mentioned enjoying the Nutella croissant as well as the chocolate cakes. The atmosphere is great for studying, small get-togethers, and dates. Because the location is a bit isolated from the main part of the town, it’s perfect for getting away from the crowd and still enjoy a cup of coffee:) The staff is very sweet, and unlike most cafes here, they set and serve your choices of pastries on a cute wooden board (and cute glasses and decorative piece for drinks). 10/10 for attention to detail&aesthetic. I talked to some of the staff and they said they are in the works testing out more drinks- so I will be back to try those!!

Very cozy restaurant with best selection of brunch and coffee options. Highly recommend.
I've gone a couple of times now, and I really enjoy the food and pastries. If you get a sandwich, I recommend getting it with ciabatta bread.

We "needed" coffee! We were travelling and were simply not in the mood to stop at a chain (Starbuck's or Panera). Patisserie Florentine was not too far off of our journey and given the reviews, we thought we'd give it a try. Thrilled is the best word that comes to mind. The servers/ baristas were lovely. The latte (with almond milk) was perfect. So was the iced coffee! These beverages were just what we had wanted (after two days of mediocre coffee elsewhere). They did the trick! We enjoyed a delicious almond/ raspberry croissant, and wound up purchasing a few desserts to go. Why? Because they looked irresistable. I wish I had been hungry. The menu was right up my alley with lovely choices. If ever in Englewood, I'll be sure to visit again!

Very stale dry old bread. For $10 you'd figure fresh loaf. Never going again. Save your money. There are so many other cafes around.
Bobbie Walker
The drinks are definitely a sweet treat, next time we’ll try the coffee!!! The cakes were very rich and appealing. Definitely outside of the normal box I try! Will go back to try other options on this menu.
Love their ciabatta!
