This little gem in downtown Alexandria has a lovely atmosphere and makes you feel like your in France With the clam French music playing it has a vast yet simple menu and the staff are just lovely they all make you feel so welcomed! We got an iced matcha and a iced lemon loaf both are super yummy and just what you need after walking the streets of downtown! With beautiful brick walls and wood interior the perfect place to catch up with friends!! Highly recommend if your in the area!

GREAT spot! The inside is wonderful and unique, they have a lot of different seating options. The service was great, they got my order out so quickly. I highly highly recommend the crème brûlée (danish?) every bite was a taste of heaven. I could definitely see myself coming here every day to work, meet with friends, get a cup of coffee to go. Absolutely worth checking out!

Excellent food and coffee in a quaint building by the waterfront. Prices are a bit high, but given the quality, location, and ambience they’re worth it. Their crepes are delicious, with a pleasantly sweet taste that goes well with either the sweet or savory options. The lattes were also quite good.

The Croque Madame and Croque Monsueur were both delicious (madame has egg is the only difference). We also had the hazelnut beignets and absolutely loved every bite! My chai latte was served piping hot and tasted very good. They were a tad busy, so the service was somewhat slow, but I’d go back again.

High marks for ambience, the place has a wonderful feel with cafe on one side and a full wall length rack of wine on the other. Complete with French music.

The food was yummy, the service was superior, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the large dog roaming around the cafe, even behind the register

It was a cold March Saturday and this cafe was cozy. It has the feel of an old Irish pub. I got an oat milk chai and it was a 4/5. Staff was friendly. There is an assortment of pastries and ample seating.
