French Restaurants near Issaquah, WA

“I work in the neighborhood and take lunches here sometimes. Everytime the staff is so friendly and the coffee is good. The stand out here are the pastries! A little overpriced but I’m never disappointed. The almond croissant changed my world view.“

“Location appears fully functional with an Old World charm featuring an eclectic, ever shifting music selection and basic atmospheric elements—utilitarian, clean, & simple; hardwood floor & round tables offer seating near the front of this modest café while providing space for larger groups to gather toward the back of the shop; Cushioned chairs & barstools are quite comfy, but provide little back support if settling in for a lengthy study/writing/art session or if you plan on doing computer work.My Chef/Server’s name was Reda. I ordered a Strawberry Nutella crepe w/ whip cream & was very impressed with result. My plate looked like an artistic masterpiece & tasted just as delicious.I’ve been to this location on multiple occasions & highly recommend his tomato, basil, & mozzarella panini; ‘Norvegienne’ crepe; & salmon gyro (not on menu).The Creperie also has an extensive collection of refrigerated beverages & hot/iced tea; my favorite of which is flavored ‘Wild Raspberry & Hibiscus.’My one wish would be that the music were not briefly interrupted with ads every so often. The framed photographs are also significantly faded & restaurant decor has great potential for improvement.Otherwise, lighting is excellent; atmosphere is cozy; music, multicultural, & my food always tastes fresh and prepared with attention & care.“

“Recommend: Anything Croissants related, coffee, strudelWouldn't recommend: Paninis, hot chocolate, precut cakeThe croissants, coffee, and most pastries are great, but the cake and croque monsieur were disappointing. This place would easily have been 5 stars with a proper croque monsieur. Both the Ham & Provolone Croissant and Egg Roasted Turkey Tomato Pesto Croissant were fantastic, especially the pesto. The guava cream cheese strudel was fantastic due to the strudel being very flaky and and guava jam being a nice balance to the cream. Onto the downsides, the hot chocolate didn't taste rich or chocolatey enough, but it wasn't terribly. However, the croque monsieur was not satisfying and felt very underwhelming due to it being pressed into a panini and not having a layer of cheese on top of the bread, and not having enough béchamel in the sandwich. I want a croque monsieur to be incredibly rich and fatty, and this just felt like a regular ham and cheese sandwich with a nice crunch. The other thing I didn't like as much as I wanted was the blue berry cream cake. It looked delicious, and the blueberry cream was delicious, however, the cake was too dry and coarse. This seems to be an issue with most precut slices of cake that I've tried since they've already cut the cake, exposing the interior for a long time prior to consumption.“
