The Paris Cafe offers very nice selection of pastries and baked goods. It also has a large interior for an urban Cafe, especially compared to the area. My daughter enjoyed her baked treat very much. Stop in if you are in this neighborhood.
My family and I were making a quick stop here and it was a terrible experience. Firstly, inside, we couldn’t find a clean table to sit on and the employee service was slow and unprofessional. We ordered an Americano, espresso, and black coffee, and three croissants. Least to say is that the taste was terrible. We tried to get a refund, but they did not give us one. I tried to call the manager, but they were not even in the cafe. Overall this was a terrible experience and I do not recommend.
Great coffee, good foam on my latte and vegan hot chocolate for the kids. Large and clean dining area.
I had an unfortunate experience here. I accidentally spilled my coffee while returning the cup and plate and immediately informed the owner and apologized multiple times. As the only customer at the time, the reaction was surprising. Instead of handling the situation calmly, the owner became visibly angry and began lecturing me. He repeatedly said that this was why he had told me to order a small espresso instead of an Americano, mimicking my order choice and criticizing that I hadn’t finished the coffee. I had clearly explained when ordering that espresso was too strong for me and that I preferred an Americano. After the spill, he also complained that the coffee was “wasted,” even though it had already been paid for and the spill was accidental. He continued muttering angrily in French while cleaning. The interaction felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially given that it was an honest accident and I was trying to be considerate. I chose to leave due to the hostile tone. Accidents happen, but how staff respond to them matters. Unfortunately, this was not a welcoming or respectful experience.
I love this place, it's such a hidden gem! My friends and I came here for a snack on Saturday and back again for breakfast on Sunday, and will happily come back again. The pastries are delightful and so well made; we had croissants, pain au chocolate, mini beignets, and when we came back for breakfast we had the egg, cheese, and ham croissant as well as the turkey bagel sandwich. The croissant sandwich was freshly made, with real scrambled eggs! The bagel sandwich was well balanced in its flavors, Rika could taste the onion in the bagel along with everything else and loved that. The owners make the food and drinks themselves just before serving, so everything is fresh and delicious. The orange juice was clearly freshly squeezed; the coffees were delicious (I got the seasonal pumpkin spice latte; my friends got iced white mochas). The interior is neat and clean and all the tables are well-spaced. Also!! The owner was so kind on Sunday when I came in; I was having a flare-up and needed to use my cane, so I only had one spare hand. When he called out that my order was ready and I came up to take the tray, he told me that he would carry the tray back to my table for me. It was really kind of him, and he didn't have to do it. This place definitely should have more people coming through!! Y'all should come eat some delicious food and drink delicious beverages and listen to some lovely music and enjoy a chat!
