Our Guestbook
“ Very cozy small cafe for very good French cuisine. We dropped by here around 10 am after the DMV. The breakfast/lunch menu had a variety of French options. I had the chicken panini and it had very good flavor and the outer breast crust was crisp. Others had the Croque-monsieur and French onion soup. Service was also very good for a cafe. ”
“ Nous avons beaucoup aimé cet endroit! Highly recommend. Not many places open early enough for early risers, so we were the first ones at the door at 7:30 (late for us). So worth it to not just settle for day-old, stale croissants and muddy coffee. Loved the blue cheese and onion quiche-SO satisfyingly real (not too overwhelming) and FRESH-just wow! My other half had the Esther's mixed platter and found everything delectable as well. Great coffee, superb service, and Frank (from Leon) is doing an incredible job. If we lived here we'd be regulars for sure. ”
“ Was very excited to have breakfast here after reading the menu on Yelp. We arrived at 9a and were seated right away. The cafe is small and have both indoor and outdoor seating. The food came very quickly and everything was so delicious and exceeded our expectations. I had the Esther platter which had eggs, potatoes, salad, Brie with hazelnuts, apple cake and a baguette. Everything was perfectly cooked and so delicious. My sister had the eggs Benedict and it was perfect and delicious as well. Don't pass this place up, it's a gem, and we will be back! Thank you! ”
“ Cozy little French café, right in the heart of downtown Palm Springs inside you feel like you're actually in Paris. They have a nice menu with an installment of French style food. Ready to hang out for breakfast and lunch. We tried ratatouille and quiche. The ratatouille was perfect not too much salt. The quiche Lorraine was extra creamy. Our server was really good ”
“ Very good French breakfast. Brie cheese w almond cranberry paired well with the micro green salad dressing. The baguette bread was crisp and yummy. The Apple cake was dry for me. Eggs were yummy. Enjoyed the French cafe feel and French radio music playing. We would return. ”
