Love this little gem of a place! The food is always fresh. I can count on good service being provided. Most importantly, the dessert is AMAZING. I haven't had a single bad experience here. If you are unsure about trying things restaurant, go! You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic! My wife had the chicken salad, salad, and I had the roast beef panini. Both were really, really good. Then we tried some cake. It was awesome! The staff was very friendly and the service was as good as can be. I'll definitely be coming back!

Fabulous! I ordered a birthday for my 35th, and while there was a small hiccup, it was absolutely beautiful! Not only beautiful, but also delicious! Kudos to the bakers and pastry chefs. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

One of my all time favorite restaurants, worth the 45 minutes drive from where I live. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. Usually a baby shower or birthday party when I've been. I came for the chicken crepes the first time and always order that; the strawberry Mandarin side salad th...

I love the food and cakes BUT I will never be getting a cake her again. Last year they messed up my daughters baptism cake. I gave them a second chance for our gender reveal cake because a friend purchased hers here and I loved it. The cake looked awful. Not at all what I asked for. And they also ha...

Awful all around. This is the second occasion that the incompetent employees at this business have ruined. How can a place that is a bakery not correctly complete a cake order? My wife ordered a gender reveal cake with the instruction to keep the gender secret. Not only did the girl hand me the enve...

The food and atmosphere here is amazing. It is themed like a little french courtyard, and it does it well. It is a little crowded, but that can be a sign of just how great of a place this is. The food was excellent, and full of flavor, the only downside about my sandwich was that the bread was too c...

The warm chocolate great was paired great with vanilla ice cream. The food was okay but, the potato salad on the side was amazing. I did not get a chance to tell anyone. I would recommend this place specifically for dessert not necessarily for the sandwiches or salad.

All around TOP NOTCH! Angelia, our server, handled our birthday party group of 11 with no problems; the tomato bisque is fabulous and so are the seafood crepes and the strawberry Mandarin salad. The cake was divine and topped the meal off perfectly! Definitely a new "go-to" Cafe for our group!

Pros: Cute little cafe in a foo foo part of town. Very friendly staff with average bistro type food. Southwest salad was great with good flavoring.
Cons: Water on the tap was heavy on the chlorine taste. My wife got a slice of vanilla creme cake which was fine, but plain. We both tasted and said at...

Very gracious staff and great food. I went for the trio. I have never had a white chicken chili so creamy and tender. Very good! Don't miss the slice of warm vanilla buttercream cake. It is a must.
The atmosphere is interesting, and the French music was nice.

Seems to be the biggest hotspot for lunch for women in Mountain Brook village. The room is packed with females at lunch time during weekdays. They have pretty good soup and salads. Their sandwiches are okay but don't compare to Brick & tin across the street. I have ordered multiple cakes from them. ...

I recently stopped in for lunch on a Friday. I'd never been but both the posted and word of mouth reviews were so good I had to try it for myself. I was not disappointed. They were crowded with several parties celebrating events but I was seated quickly.

Delicious food! Great for lunch! The only problem is the service is not great. Very slow both times I went. Once they were not crowded and once they were crowded. My suggestion, go when you are not in a hurry. Their salad dressing is delicious as are their cookies!

Terrible service, terrible food. It took far FAR too long to get a bad "portabello" sandwich (there was only two pieces of tiny portabello floating on a sea of stale, soggy bread). The menu promised "caramelized onions" but they were slimy uncooked onions. There was far too few ingredients for a way...

Good cake here but a little overpriced. Food is OK, but not of such high quality that you'll rave to others about it. Parking is very poor and if you have a very big vehicle, good luck backing out of the parking spaces. Seating is quite More

A pleasant but slightly overly ambitious atmosphere with a somewhat unambitious menu. The food was enjoyable but left much to be desired- both in taste and in portion size. The chicken was dry and the bacon imperceptable.
Definitely not a place for people who would like to feel satisfied after a me...
