Catastrophic service. Don't come on a Saturday lunchtime Half of the forgotten order, we are referred to someone else every time The service is very poorly organized Expensive for the quality of the products despite the reputation of the establishment.

Cute. They told me a lot about the place before I went and I think that's why I'm a little disappointed
Do not forget to visit it and sit on its terrace in the district of Montparnase
Mediocre, it's a bit sad to imagine that so many tourists will have this image of gastronomy and hospitality in Paris. Few excuses given the prices charged ... sad
It is still possible to look back in time. And it is completely superfluous, perhaps arrogant Waiter to blame or praise the boiled egg.
I really like this mythical place in Paris. The setting is so nice and pretty. A flat, the quality of the products is rather mediocre, and the excessive prices, it is thus in the places quoted in Paris ...
It is very nice, rich hot chocolate and very good attention!
Classic Parisian cafe but so overpriced. 8 for a coffee anyone...?
Despite the price, the waiter service and the wonderful apple pie.
Aweful place. Crowded with tables set cheek by jowl. Servers are not pleasant. We had to wait a lot before being served. Food was below average and crockery unclean. So much for a cafe with history. Hmmph. And what is with so much attitude when you are just living relics. Forgettable.
Cafe Flore is one of the worst places in Paris where you can see only tourists and people that want to show off. Food is nothing special and not very affordable. Better try something else. The area is great.
Mythical place of Paris. Very good service polite and welcoming staff
Great location, atmosphere and service! However, the cost / benefit is high. Regardless, I recommend it!
A star for localization and myth. Big disappointment in price and quality of products. A juice Minute Maid for a coffee that wants to remember the authentic France, it's really a shame. It is unfortunate that we do not show our tourists a better image of our country. At this price, both go to the Ritz;)
Paris landmark, more suitable for tourists. You can get the same product quality and better service, for less price in many other Paris cafes.
The artists' canteen, you will always meet someone famous
Fantastic place for a wine or bite, usually super busy and crowded with tourists
Mythical establishment where we line up for hours to enjoy an overpriced breakfast served by staff not necessarily very nice! Nice setting but it stops there.
Well we will not lie is expensive but it's good and it is known and in an expensive neighborhood so be expected, and then super nice waiter and everything was good anyway
Great staff, very friendly. Crowded and touristy. My cocktail was worth it.
Cafe Flora, one of the old coffee shops in Paris, was shocked by the crowd as soon as they entered the door. There were too many people. The store was jamming a lot of tables and chairs to make more money. Being able to occupy a bit of space, we not only ordered the signature coffee in the cafe, but also ordered two desserts in the afternoon, but the price was too high, and the service we received was out of proportion, I felt like I was very online. Baked sandwiches can be regarded as a very sincere dish, and the ingredients are very real, but the omelette is really ordinary. The coffee is really good. There is no Italian coffee that is delicious. It is the reputation of the flower god that you can have the world. Tourists from all over the world come to spend. I think the purpose of spending money is to experience the feeling of sitting in a white-year-old shop and drinking coffee. Once I experience it, I don t want to come again, after all, this is a noble coffee
I definitely stop by every Paris. We got older with the employees :)
Spend double breakfast money to pursue a pilgrimage. Coffee is faint. It's okay.
The place is very beautiful, each time I am immersed in old Paris and I love it! Soft-boiled eggs and delicious coffee - my favorite Parisian breakfast spot! Thank you
rudest waiters ever - very sarcastic, not helpful and very sly (added food on the bill that hadn't be asked for and did not apologise ) Food is very basic but great spot of people watching and pretty good hot chocolate
For those who know Rio de Janeiro well, this is the typical Copacabana Beach bar-restaurant: tourist catamaran. But, not bad and still works until later.
It's ok, coffee and milk served in a jug, overlook 2 cups for the price of one. A place where celebrities came for coffee. recommend
Great service and sat next to the ex president of France.
This is a famous place and is on a great spot in St Germain. We went for a late night coffee after a big meal somewhere else. The coffee is fairly typical of most French cafes- terrible. Over roasyed and badly made. But the service and the general hustle and bustle is well worth a visit.
Food quality normal. Service not good. Waiter not responsive.
Nice but overpriced and a bit overrated. A tourist trap.
Great location in the hip Parisian district, good atmosphere with exquisite selection of cakes.
25 years ago, the flora, a meeting, a man and my future husband. 25 years later, happiness and 2 girls who fill us with joy. As the years pass quickly ... Congratulations!
Great place to sit and relax It was a famous place
please open a branch in Tangerang I miss the croque monseur
Great experience to be here, even though there is better value etc, but just nice to be in a place with so much history.
The waiter on the first floor is obnoxious. But why is the service so bad? When I come to the Flore, it's not to be reprimanded when I order a jug of water!
Not recommended, this kind of shop is a kind of shop bullying, do n t worry about no customers, so do n t want any service; only recommend hot, the only thing worth drinking, other not only expensive, but also taste the coffee machine Like, some waiters will not speak English with you, they will urge them in French and they are not happy
A little expensive (7.5 hot chocolate) and many people, difficult to have a good time. But it's worth it to go there.
Deeelish club sandwich, lovely ambiance and excellent service. Adjacent to LV, that's always fab!!
The oil-sealed duck is OK, and the onion soup is not worthy of a general point. The coffee shop that was fired out by the travel book
Delish hot chocolate. Not very friendly waitstaff but I do not care if they continue to bring me hot cocoa. Such a charming, quaint place to experience a Parisian cafe.
A cup of French coffee, a French breakfast, listening to music, this life is too good, the taste of coffee is endless, I like it here.
Overpriced and the annoying thing is that you need to pay for the toilets after that.
promoted place, but it is expensive and does not worth it. probably if you are a writer, this is a place to get a cup of coffe, watch the people around and write your novel
Expensive and poor selection. I don't know why people rated it as high as they did.
Certainly the place is mythical! But today (visited on a Saturday afternoon) the place is very noisy! and without a particular soul .... The addition is substantial, we pay the place ... it would be like visiting a museum of which we would be a part of the work. Do it once in your life ...
Historical site, very busy but you can not miss it.
Crowded, way overpriced. Go to Deux Magots 50 meters away instead.
If you want to attack a diet it's the right place omelette tiny .. sponge drop and microscopic dessert ... for just a carafe of water must make signals of distress for 15 minutes ... otherwise the frame is nice
Go to Paris without asking by this place where everyone is dumbfounded it would be fished
