I'm going to split this in two 3 sections: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good:
1. Food tasted good enough
2. The food was warm
3. Coffee was very good
4. The restaurant was clean
The bad:
1. The restaurant's name on the building does not match the google Maps name
2. All the paninis we ordered had very little meat in them. You're basically eating bread with Mayo. (Pictures for reference).
3. It's quite expensive to eat here considering the amount of food you are not getting. If the paninins had more protein in them, the price would be justified.
4. Ordered a panini with no cheese but had cheese, did not bother to tell them.
5. They don't bring you napkins or silverware, we had to ask for them.
The ugly:
1. While dining here, there was kids present with their parents, the person in the register was talking with someone else and they where loud, this is not an issue, the issue is the language they were using was very vulgar. I understand workers are allowed to have a good time at work, but the language being used should be kept when customers are not around, especially not kids.
2. Almost little to no protein on the paninis we ordered.
Overall, I would not justify this place if you need to travel more than 10 minutes. If, however, you are nearby and in need of a coffee, then I would say get a coffee here and the food elsewhere.

Stopped in for a their tasty vegan sandwich. (Be sure to request the multi grain bread if you try one). All was fine except the part that made me smile and say "hmmmm...." Does anyone else see the irony in the message vs the packaging? ;>)
Tip for the great little spot - eco friendly packaging?

Stopped at this quiet French cafe for breakfast. Had a flat white with Mediterranean Toast and a Palmier. The toast was detectible with homemade relish, olives and a basil pesto. The Palmier was not my original choice, but omg I am glad I got it. It is Texas sized, 2in thick, light and flaky inside. Easily big enough to share.
9/29 back for more. Had an Omelette 6 and it was exceptional. The sundried tomatoes and goat cheese paired to give a flavor explosion.

Just perfect. The food is always delicious and the espresso is perfect. Very unassuming store front, but what’s inside is a treasure to the area.

The food was incredibly expensive! We paid $70 for four people, each of us only getting one thing on the menu and water to drink. Even a plain croissant was $7.50. The food also took 20 minutes to come out, when all I had ordered was a croissant. The man serving us the food also forgot to bring knives and forks and we had to wait another 10 minutes for him to bring them to us. The place was nicely decorated though and felt clean, and the food was delicious. But I would say it's not worth the price.

Very nice option for a Saturday’s morning. Palmiers, Panini and crepes were great. Also the coffee. I would comeback without any doubt.

I really like the food and vibe here. The panini was great, and so were the egg and bacon croissant and ham and cheese croissant. The food is great, but extraordinarily overpriced. Would love to continue to go here, but not sure the experience is worth it.

I got the parmesan truffle oil fries and a Texan panini…. it was delectable. I’m still thinking about this meal days later. The atmosphere is light and lovely and the employees were very kind.

First of all to avoid confusion the cafe says gourmet bakery on the outside not la francesita but dont let that deter you. Its charming and cozy atmosphere was lovely. Prices range depending on what you get. We bought things from low to high to try and all were great quality. Hubby got a plain croissant with jam and butter on the side and a smoked salmon omelet (omelet 4) and I got a nutella crepe and California panini. Sodas are sold by the can but they have water and a selection of coffees as well though we did not try the coffee. The croissant was perfectly flaky on the outside and warm and perfectly textured on the inside. The smoked salmon omelet was delicious (my first time trying smoked salmon and egg together) and as hubby put it a perfectly balanced dish. The panini was delicious and in my opinion bigger than more paninis I end up with in most places. Nice crunch on the outside and warm on the inside with no cold spots in the filling. Now the crepe. Most of yall have had crepes by this point but the difference here was how much more authentic this one was. The taste and texture were spot on. Highly recommend and my toddler seconds that recommendation as he kept trying to get more before he finished his current mouthful. He ate a little of our other dishes as well but of course his favorite was the crepe. The staff were friendly and we had no problem with rudeness as some people have complained. We spent 56 including tip and for the quality I am ok with that. We went at 845-9 am and it was quiet but started to pick up when we left so I recommend going earlier than not as its a small cafe and I can easily imagine it getting packed as the rush comes. There is outside seating as well and high chairs for those with littles. All around, great place and atmosphere with great food. Would dine again.

My sister and I came here for the first time today, and we absolutely adored it. We ordered the Norway Croissant and the Galette 2 Crepe, both were absolutely divine. Never have we tasted a more flavorful crepe! The icing on the cake - the ambiance is so sweet. I love the French look and the wall paintings. We will be sure to return to try something sweet! 🙂
