I'm honestly still in shock in the best possible way. The food was absolutely incredible, but what made the experience unforgettable was the person making it. You can tell when someone truly cares about what they do, and it shows in every bite. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and somehow even better than I imagined. It felt like every detail was done with passion and pride. And the person behind it all? Super kind, welcoming, and clearly talented. Watching someone put that much love into their cooking is rare these days. I walked in expecting a normal meal... and left completely blown away. If you ever get the chance to try their food, do it--you'll understand why I'm still talking about it! read more

Bocado: Un Petit Bistro - Creperies Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Order: lox croissandwich, black sesame latte Selected this place because I am a sucker for anything breakfast that has some type of Asian fusion within its menu. The lox croissandwich was good, however, I asked for tomato because I needed an added flavor profile and the saltiness of the lox made me want more hydration in the bite. I usually don't like capers but today they were fine. Croissant was toasted nicely. Service: excellent. A pretty woman greeted us quickly and because it was such a beautiful day, she was coming out to bring our meals and drinks back and forth. She brought us our drinks. My drink was supposed to be with almond milk but I suspected it may have been regular milk. Although I disclose that I rarely order black sesame; it was very very sweet so I ended up not taking a chance and drinking it. My husband and daughter had vanilla lattes and lemonade with their breakfast bacon sandwich and salad. My daughter wanted to go there again today. (Posting a day later). The ambiance was very nice. I had never been to this downtown area. We were across the street from a really cute historic gas station. Great seating for people watching and enjoying the warming heat of summer on the patio. Really lovely experience at Bocado. read more

Love love LOVED my experience at Bocado: Un Petit Bistro! The food was amazing! I had the golden milk (I swapped the milk for almond milk and added espresso- delicious!), a California Penini and the Tiramisu crepe! Everything was so yummy and the service was great! Diego and James are so sweet and truly care about their customers. We were frequently checked up on my James and the wait staff! The ambiance was so fun and festive (since I went near Christmas time) and loved the playlist that was playing! My family and I had a great time! We truly felt so comfortable and taken care of! Thank you so much for the great food and great experience; I will definitely be back! read more

Came here for a quick bite. Parking was quick as there was a lot of street parking around. We came in and there was a bit of a line. As we waited we decided to get a Thai chicken crepe (gluten free) with a roasted red pepper tomato soup. The crepe itself was ok - didn't have as much spiced flavor as we hoped. I did appreciate they don't charge extra for gluten free crepes. The soup was delicious! Would definitely come back again for it. It's a cozy spot with some indoor seating. We saw lots of folks ordering the dessert crepes, we would definitely come back for those! read more

We normally come here for our crepe fix given the convenience of its location in downtown Pleasanton. Compared to our visit last year, today we were very pleasantly presented with much larger portions from what we remembered in the past and everything tasted wonderful! From the s'mores crepe to the chicken pesto crepe and croissant sandwich with side salad, we were so satisfied with our lunch experience. Despite an order for 11 people right before ours, we still got our food in a reasonable amount of time. I only wish that the prices don't seem to go up incrementally each time we return. Otherwise, so glad we came back today! read more

Shame on me for not leaving a review after coming here so many times! I love me a cozy hole in the wall with high ceilings and welcoming staff. I'm so happy for them for how busy they are since I came here for the first time when they just opened. They host a lot of fun wine events and breakfast buffets (probably even more variety than I'm aware of), and I need to just pick one and go! I have never had a miss here whether it's a sweet or savory crepe, sandwich, cocktail, or coffee. I have taken so many people here so they could also experience Bocado for the first time. You can taste that their food is made with love, and it's one of my default spots downtown. read more

Stopped here for lunch because the photos did my appetite justice. The result was just an appealing as the pictures and with my twist even more delicious. The restaurant is small but cozy and inviting. They have varying dessert options but their menu as a whole consists of great lunch options to consist of Panini's, Croissant Sandwiches and sweet or savory Crepes. You would be hard pressed not to find one of any of each category that pulls you in. For me the "Bird" Chicken Panini was my lure. It comes with Pepper Jack but they had a Brie option that had me at the word Brie. The bread was perfect, grilled just right, chicken tender and well the Brie was Brie-tiful. Their food is coupled with a salad or fruit. I chose the fruit and the watermelon was delicious. Unlike many of the recent restaurants I have tried for lunch recently they offered the perfect assortment of drink options. Coffee, Teas, sugar free or sweet options. I chose the Blood Orange Sanpellegrino. We dined in and they had some great music at a level that was well suited to enjoying but still being able to converse with friends. The staff were courteous, restaurant clean, reasonable parking options in the surrounding area. All in all a great experience that is most definitely worth the price. Recommend this to any foodie worth their weight and will definitely add this to my list of restaurants worth another visit. Especially since I struggle between Crepes and Panini, so Crepes next time. read more

Bocado is such a cute spot in downtown Pleasanton. We sat outside on the patio--nice setup for smaller groups. Ordered the chicken pesto crepe and the tiramisu crepe--both were amazing. The chicken pesto was super flavorful without being heavy, and the tiramisu crepe tasted like dessert wrapped up in brunch--light, creamy, just the right amount of sweet. Also got the mimosa flight - it was really good, a fun mix of flavors. Coffee was just ok, nothing special. It's partial self served- you place your order at counter and get all cutlery etc on your own. Food is brought to you. Overall, great food and a relaxed vibe--definitely coming back when the crepe craving hits. read more

Cute spot that seems to specialize in crepes. Unfortunately, I wasnt in the mood for a crepe so I got a cheese panini with caramelized onions and a side of fruit.

We came here on a weekend evening and there was a good amount of people in the restaurant. When you get in, you order at the counter and the food is then brought to your table and your plates are also bussed when you are done. My partner ordered one of the specials which was a grilled cheese and tomato soup. I ordered a crepe I created myself with mozzarella, avocado, and some spinach. The tomato soup was delicious and very creamy. Highly recommend. My partner said the grilled cheese was basic. I also thought the crepe had a good batter, but that it could have been crispier and had a better texture. Also, the cheese wasn't melted and the spinach was still sort of cold. Not sure it was cooked as well as it could have been. But overall it was fine. I do also wish there were more vegetarian options. The service was very nice and there is plenty of indoor seating. There is also street parking. read more

Running some errands in Pleasanton and decided I wasn't going to miss an opportunity to check out Bocado again! Came in on a Friday evening and was quickly greeted by Chef Diego. The first time I got to try Bocado: Un Petit Bistro, it was all in sample form for an event. While I was hoping to try something new this evening, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The Bello Panini, Flor Ceviche and Estrella Crepe were SO good, that I had to get them again (in full sized orders this time)! The panini has a buttery crunch and the portobello is so perfectly seasoned, with the Serrano and avocado adding the perfect touch. The ceviche had a little more of a citrus/acidic punch this time (maybe a little more than I'd prefer), but it is easily one of my favorite things. It's a vegan ceviche in which cauliflower is used, and the first time I tried it I remember going in with minimal expectations, but it's a definite flavor bomb of goodness! The Estrella I ordered to go. Took me a little over an hour to get home, and she traveled perfectly. Perfect dessert to end the evening! It's a good thing I don't live in Pleasanton. I'd be here far too often! Cute little boutique style bistro with several delicious menu options. Don't pass up this not-so-hidden gem! read more

Bocado Un Petit Bistro. Well the name may be a mouthful if you try to enunciate, that's okay. The marble tables, the vanity lighting, and the menus have Bocado etched in; reminding you that you are in for a mouthful as Bocado loosely translates to bites. With a menu chock full of crepes, croissants, paninis, artisan coffees, and traditional drinks; you can't go wrong. read more

I went to have brunch with family here in the fall of', 24. And why am I coming back months later to write this review? Because I've been absolutely craving going back. Our experience was so great! The service was incredibly kind and informative of the many offering they serve. The establishment was clean, and the food came out quick. We tried several crêpes, both savory and dessert as well as copy, and everything was absolutely perfect. I think, as far as sweet crêpes, go people expect them to be pretty sweet, and although these look extravagant, they also taste very well balanced, and yes, not too sweet, so it's not cloying.) Coffees we tried were also great! You can tell they dial in their coffee (important for espresso drinkers) Overall, great place to go, especially on a farmers market day, where you can have some great food and conversation, and then have a nice walk outside at the market. read more

Visited for lunch today. Ordered Thai Tofu curry crepe and my colleague ordered pesto tofu crepe. Both were unique as the name suggests and very good in taste. Personally, I wasn't a fan of Thai and French food fusion but the taste was really good - I'll give it to them for creativity. Black sesame latte was good but ask them to make it less sweet (quick tip). Service was quick and the seating inside was spacious. read more

We came on a Thursday afternoon. Order 3 crepes , 1 panini and 2 drinks. Chicken pesto crepe- was good! It could be bigger for the price ($18) S'more crepe- good price but a bit too sweet , I guess that's what s'more is Tiramisu- it just has cream inside . Maybe if it has some soaked lady-finger inside, it would have more texture California Panini - it was soooo good! The sauce was yummy with everything else inside! High recommend it! Decaf Mocha - I was excited about Four barrel coffee but it was way too sweet for me!!! I couldn't finish. Ube latte - didn't know it was with coffee , the lady was nice enough to make it without coffee for my daughter. She liked it. But the one with coffee looks good too! Oh the side salad was very good too! Overall, the sweets are too sweet for us . Savory food was good! There wasn't too many servers there. Alot of times , no one was at the counter and they were all in the kitchen when we needed someone. Also, we just serves ourselves with getting utensils and napkins. I asked for 2 empty plates but didn't come until after we were done with our sandwich! I wish the service was more prompt. Looks like they need to hire more ppl. The atmosphere was ok. A bit more casual than I expected. read more

I have been here twice. First time, I had the tofu pesto crepe. Second time, I had the garden panini. I enjoyed the panini more than the crepe. It my personal opinion that tofu and pesto is not the best combination of flavors. The crepe itself was good, I had a small salad with it. Salad was fresh and well dressed. Garden panini was delicious. The bread is fresh, the vegetables were delicious - Tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers, lettuce. My husband had a chicken pesto panini and said that it was very good, good balance of pesto and chicken. Bocado is a small, very clean cafe. Service is good. We will be back. I'd like to try the breakfast options. read more

Filipino ceviche, Kinilaw - exceptional dish with fresh tuna, coconut milk, vinegar and tropical aromatic spices that made the flavors pop! Beware of the spice level as this dish has some kick! Chicken Pesto Crepe - generously portioned and beautifully prepared with creamy pesto, chicken and cheese in a lovely crepe. It was delicious! Crepe Suzette - perfect light lunch choice on a hot hot summer day, did not disappoint! Chai Latte and Iced Tea - perfect choices for the 104+ deg heat of summer! read more

I absolutely adore bocado. I will definitely drive out of the way to get a delicious crepe from them. My favorite is the lemon and sugar and the Classico crepe . What I also really love is that they have many different types of Crepes and a large variety of menu items. I definitely enjoy all their fun beverages their coffees and iced lattes definitely have lots of caffeine but I especially enjoy their lavender latte and their dirty Rose latte in particular. The owner is super sweet and everyone that works there is a joy to talk to the service is just overall amazing. I hope someday that bocado does expand to the greater San Jose area. But I make sure to stop at bocado as often as I can if I'm in that area. read more

This is such a cute place with friendly people and delicious food. I love the seasonal decorations and will have to come back for their mimosa flights. Whenever I'm in the area, I stop by for the chia pudding (pictured). The lemon curd (and blueberries with slivered almonds that they add) make it feel like I'm eating a "healthy" dessert. I'm afraid once the secret is out there won't be any left for me, so hopefully by leaving this review, I'll still have chia pudding VIP status. JK. Kinda... read more

I loved my first visit so much, I returned with my husband and 2 friends for brunch. It was their first time coming here but unfortunately the experience this time was different and made me feel a bit embarrassed that I brought them here. First, we came on a weekend and it was incredibly packed outside and inside. A table for 4 outside was not possible since it looked like the max is 3 outside. So inside it was. There was a soccer team of kids inside w/their parents who took up most of the tables and they weren't even eating. I know they are kids but were incredibly loud and rowdy for such a small indoor space. We were able to snag a table for 4 but in the worst spot. The sun was shining directly on my friend's face b/c of the skylight and she was getting hot. She's a patient person but it was too much. We shifted the table left and right and all the ways but still, we couldn't avoid the direct sunlight. We moved our table to another spot and it was better but then the manager (I think) immediately came over to us and in a rude tone told us that we couldn't do that b/c we were blocking the way apparently, even though there was room for people to pass. My friend and I responded that the sunlight from the skylight was hitting her directly in the face and that's why we moved. He said we still couldn't be there. Every table was taken up. We were moved back to the old spot, still my friend getting hit by the sun. Eventually he asked the large soccer group if they could consolidate their tables to free up some space and we moved to a better table. While waiting for our food, I observed the manager only b/c he was talking so loud to the workers that I had to look and see who was talking like that! He seemed upset and flustered w/them, and almost shouting, "what is this drink doing here?!!?" b/c there was some random drink on the counter. I think he was quite unprofessional in his tone and just seemed all over the place. Perhaps it could be b/c it was a busy weekend for them but still, there's ways to handle it and still be professional to your staff. The food was still good this time like the last. I have no complaints there, but obviously, the manager's tone was not what we were expecting. I will try to avoid this place on the weekends given how busy it is, especially if there's a soccer team take over. On my last visit, I came on a Friday for an early lunch w/my friend. It wasn't as busy and the ambiance was much more enjoyable. read more

Unfortunately, it was not a great experience... My salad had some rotten leaves of lettuce, and some of the cut up strawberries were old and starting to go off. I added chicken, and it was as if they took a Costco rotisserie chicken, shredded the mean, and then reheated it after adding a packet of McCormick's taco seasoning. It was OVERLY salty, and generally a very unappetizing addition to the salad. It was also very hot, temp-wise, as if they pulled it from a steam tray or microwave, which is also weird for the salads they offer. It might be nice to offer grilled chicken breast, which would go with any type of salad vs. a slightly spicy, very salty, and overly multi-herb/chili infused topping. My friend ordered one of the galettes and she ended up picking off all the semi-melted and un-melted cheese that she seemed to find inedible. I want to support local business owners, and I understand the impact of rising costs, etc., but I don't know if I will be back for any of the savory items. It's a shame because there are very few places, imo, that serve decent salads - which would be an opportunity for this business if they made a few easy changes. My husband has been here before and liked the sweet crepe he ordered, which is why I was willing to try this place. In addition, I stood at the register waiting to order for several minutes. The workers glanced at me quite a few times, but didn't acknowledge my presence. The lady working was busy making food, but the man didn't seem like he was doing anything important, and the look on his face made it seem like I was not welcome or that I as an imposition. When the woman was able to assist me, she was very pleasant, but it's clear she's just a worker and not a manager or owner. FYI - we were there midday during the week, and it was NOT busy inside. There was one other table of 3-4 people, who were already eating. read more

Yelp never steers me wrong! We were looking for a place to eat since I was in the Pleasanton area and saw this place had 5 stars and figured it was worth the visit. It's a cute little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they will bring you the food. For that kind of setup - I felt like their service was extra good. They came out more than once to check on us, make sure we had everything, and also take away dirty dishes. The food was great! I had the hamlet panini with the tomato soup. The owner told us they usually have two soup choices but ran out of the corn chowder earlier. He said they also do a zuppa toscana and my friend's eyes got big since that's her favorite soup. Don't skip the specials menu. I got the black sesame latte and it was delicious. I like too that you could get it with oat or almond milk! Also the sangria flight looked delicious. read more

Such a cute little spot on Main Street. They have indoor and limited outdoor seating. The service was lovely, they were friendly and helpful. We got one sweet crepe, nocciola & one savory, Home. Both were excellent and very filling. We also tried the strawberry matcha iced latte which was not sweet at all so I liked it and the strawberry puree was made with fresh strawberries. The hot lavender latte was also tasty but may be a bit too lavender-y for some. The menu was extensive, so it was hard to pick what to try. I'll be back soon to try one of their many other options. read more

Unbelievably good food!! The ratings are extremely accurate. We got the hamlet panini, classica savory crepe, nocciola crepe, and the tomato soup & cheese panini. Lastly we ordered a gingerbread latte that was so so good, it was mouth watering delicious. The soup has been the best tomato soup I have ever had, it was so creamy and piping hot! The savory crepe came with a chipotle aoli that was delicious (a little on the spicy side), we ended up putting it on the hamlet panini because it was missing a little something. Nocciola crepe was amazing with nutella, bananas, and strawberries. Classica savory crepe was super good with pepperjack cheese. The service was even better than the food, the owner was there and he took our order, and made our food. He was such a nice guy! The place itself is this upscale modern little thing that has inside and outside dinning. They do a cute little flight of mimosas and the table next to us kept raving about the passion fruit one. You have to try this place, it's really yummy for brunch! They don't have many normal breakfast items so if you do go for breakfast don't be surprised. read more

This cafe was such an awesome find on a Saturday afternoon. They have so many delectable food and drink options to choose from (crepes, paninis, sandwiches, breakfast dishes, coffee, wine, and more). They even have an egg scramble bar on weekends! We got two crepes, the Yorkish with smooth lox salmon, and create-your-own with ham, eggs, and mozarella, both made with quality ingredients and warm and fluffy goodness. Washed it down with an iced mocha and peach passion fruit sangria, delicious cold and refeshing beverages. The setting was clean, cute, and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. The staff was amazing, and service was just wonderful in every way. They checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. There's also a free parking lot in the back for convenience (entrance on Peters Avenue), a 3-hour limit, but that's more than sufficient. read more

Loved their casual and pretty outdoor seating along with the chic indoor seating which is perfect for all weathers. Friendly service and clean premises are really inviting. The way it works is - you first order at the counter and they give u an order number. Then the server brings the order to your table when its ready. The cutlery and condiments are kept near the entrance and they do clean up your tables after u leave. In $47 (before tip) we got: - the bird - chicken pesto panini sandwich 5/5 it was yummy, mildly spiced and quite filling. Good quality meat and perfectly toasted bread! It comes with a choice of side - fruit bowl or green salad - tiramisu dessert crepe - 5/5 - loved the idea of using all the tiramisu ingredients in a crepe :) so good! Not too sweet and definitely lots of cream !! - coffee hot - 4/5 - caramel latte iced - 4/5 - too sweet for my liking - peach sangria - 3/5 nothing amazing.
