In Short – Colorful French linens cover the tables, complementing the vibrant yellow interior and dark red exterior of this Parisian enclave. Full-length windows span two walls, while posters of Toulouse-Lautrec's artwork line the others. Outdoor tables are available on the private patio. Traditional favorites fill the menu with items like pains perdus (literally "lost bread"--authentic french toast made from day-old baguette), Croque Monsieur and Croque Madame, quiche, nicoise salad, onion soup and coq au vin.
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- Free parking is available on Barman, so pass up the metered spots on Overland. Just beware of street-cleaning hours on Tuesday.
- Look Good:
- Don't ask to see the lunch menu on Sundays--only the special brunch menu is served.
- Know Before You Go:
- This cafe, which only serves lunch, is closed on Mondays.

Cute little french restaurant
by Plankn
Cute french restaurant with a nice outside patio that make you feel stress free and outside of the city.
The food here is very good. I've had almost everything from their delicious french toast to the amazing breakfast sandwich or one of their daily special for lunch.
I have always had a good service here. The staff is always friendly and always bring a bowl of water for my dogs. Did i forget to mention they have a dog friendly patio??? Yes it is the only place I know in the neighborhood where you can bring your dog.

Lovely
by Redondo T
Had a lovely dining experience yesterday at the Cafe. The service was good and the food was very good. The patio is nice. I like that it is low-key. My feidn and I sat and talked for a while after we had finished our meal and just had a pleasant time overall.
- Pros: Great Patio
- Cons: None

Great relaxed atmosphere
by kimberdiva
We had my friend's bridal shower here. It was a small group of us, just looking for good food and good atmosphere. This place had plenty of both. The staff were very good to us. The only thing that stops me from giving this place five stars is that the table we had was really too small for 8 people. Another small table added to the end would have been helpful. But other than that, everything was wonderful.
- Pros: Lovely garden terrace
