As someone who owns and operates a restaurant, I don't leave reviews lightly. But this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn other people. The hygiene alone should be enough to make anyone turn around and walk out. The employee working the front repeatedly coughed into his hands, rubbed his nose, sneezed, then immediately went back to handling customers' utensils, napkins, and food-related items without washing or sanitizing his hands. It happened over and over again. It was honestly disgusting to watch. Basic food safety should never be optional. Then came the bill. Three items. One tiny crepe, one madeleine, and one quiche. Nearly $50. I actually thought there had been a mistake. The crepe was embarrassingly small, and the chicken inside was some of the worst I've had. It was dry, stringy, chewy, and tasted incredibly cheap. There was absolutely nothing fresh or high quality about it. The portions were tiny, the quality was poor, and the prices were completely disconnected from reality. My husband was born and raised in France, and we've spent plenty of time eating at cafés and bakeries there. This isn't even remotely comparable. It's an overpriced imitation that relies on the idea of being French instead of delivering food that's actually worth eating. If you're going to charge premium prices, then deliver premium quality, proper food safety, and an experience that justifies it. This place failed on every one of those fronts. We won't be back, and I genuinely can't understand why this place has the reputation it does. read more

Everything was great--I came here with my hubby and daughter for a morning coffee and had such a lovely experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was perfect, with light music and plenty of seating to relax and enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried the croissants, which were delicious, but the highlight was the blueberry scone. Dipping it into a latte and then taking a bite made it taste like a soft, freshly baked cake--absolutely amazing! I highly recommend trying the blueberry scone this way; it was such a unique and delightful experience. If you're visiting downtown Walnut Creek, this place is definitely worth a stop. I'll be back again soon. A special thank you to my daughter for bringing us here--such a beautiful memory. Love you, my baby read more

Still one of the greatest places in Walnut Creek to get an amazing cup of coffee I always get the scratch caramel and today I got a pistachio apricot scone and I actually wasn't expecting to like it, but I got it anyway because I love scones, but I wasn't sure how pistachio apricot would go together. Well, it was amazing absolutely delicious. The service there is always topknot to people that work. There are so kind and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambience is cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of fabulous seating inside and outside in Alamo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is very extensive for lunch! We were not that hungry so we just got lattes and a blueberry scone. My vanilla latte was perfect! Not too sweet and had a great robust espresso flavor. The blueberry scone was unlike any scone I've had, In a good way. It was so yummy! Sweet and blueberry forward with a great texture. I can't wait to come back here and try something from their lunch menu! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Bright and calm ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had ube croissant, Marseille Crepe and Dubai Strawberry Crepe. Ube Croissant had generous ube filling. This filling was smooth and not sweet. Marseille was savory but had more dried tomatoes than I would want so it was a little sour. I would go back for the Dubai chocolate- chocolate was not too sweet, it has enough kadayif for the crunch. The strawberry that came with it was a little sour- it would have been nicer if a sweeter strawberry was added. People were really nice. read more

Six of us dropped in for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice ambiance but we left disappointed with the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lunch menu is extensive but it is only displayed on the wall. So, one has to stand there and figure out what one wants. No paper menus to take to your table. The order taker was nice but there was confusion about one order. Language was a bit of an issue. The tables were not being cleared promptly. It seems like the staff lunch time is same as the customers lunch time and they were sitting in the customer area having their lunch at the same time as customers. We ordered four lunch specials ($16.95), one sandwich and one croque monsieur ($14.95). All sandwiches had the same problem: too little filling for the baguettes! Poor bread to filling proportion. Nearly every one left bread on their plates. We noticed other customers also did not finish their lunch as their tables were not being cleared. The croque monsieur had negligible bechamel sauce and zero cheese inside the bread. The medium size chocolate chip cookie was priced at $5.95! For one! Good concept, poor execution. Will not return. read more

Literally, the best croissant that I have had in forever! It was so flaky, and not too much chocolate. The maple cake was just the perfect size because it is very rich but also very delicious. My husband's coffee was very strong, but he needed that in order to wake up lol. My chai was also really delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is so freaking cute and you would want to take pictures for the gram![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was super friendly and able to provide recommendations on what we should get. read more

Will the 617th review matter here? Probably not! But this I know: this establishment continuously delivers the most scrumptious, high-end pastries in Downtown WC. The interior is well taken care of, and the owners are incapable of being in a bad mood. Seriously, their upbeat persona is unmatched. I hope this biz will continue to thrive for many years to come! P.S. Be sure to try their ube-filled croissant! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This spot is a delightful little taste of France right in downtown Walnut Creek -- perfect for breakfast, a light lunch, or a relaxed coffee break.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The moment you walk in, the smell of freshly baked pastries fills the air and sets the tone for a delicious visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pastry selection is impressive, from flaky, buttery croissants to beautifully crafted tarts and sweet treats that make it hard to choose just one. Their coffee is rich and smooth, pairing perfectly with whatever you pick -- and a café au lait or latte with a bit of latte art feels like the perfect complement to the baked goods. I've also tried a few of the light lunch items like crepes and savory sandwiches -- fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without being too heavy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is a mix of cozy indoor spots and outdoor bistro tables, making it a great place to linger over your coffee or catch up with a friend on a weekend morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is welcoming and friendly, and while it can get busy on weekend mornings (especially when all the fresh goodies are just out of the oven), the overall experience has been consistently pleasant. read more

When in downtown Walnut Creek and craving for coffee and/or dessert Brioche de Paris is our go to spot. Parking is street or nearby parking garages. Walking downtown to the place is pleasant. Place is popular and depending on the time it can be pack. However the staff are professional and quick. From the time we ordered and received our coffee and food, it took 10 minutes or less. My Ice Mocha coffee was just right. Coffee not too strong or weak. Also not too sweet. We shared the banana French toast. Portion was right for the two of us. Although I wish the bread was thicker. The last time we tried the waffles and that was great . Large enough to split for two. Oh and the pastry are fresh and light . Overall we will continue to come and eat here. read more

Brioche de Paris is located near the corner of Locust St and Bonanza St, directly across from the Walnut Creek Yacht Club. After having lunch nearby on 02/27/2024, my friend NN and I came here for a cup. It was pretty busy when we walked in at around 12:30pm. We were immediately greeted by the staff. The interior was bright and clean. The vibe was relaxing and cozy. NN got a matcha latte while I opted for a large cold brew and a Sable Nutella. The total before tip was about $17. We were given a number placard for our order. Both items I had were pretty good. The coffee was robust, and the Nutella shortbread cookie was a decently soft and decadent. NN seemed to have enjoyed her drink as well. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, nice place for a cup! 4 stars. read more

We came in because i had been following them on Instagram and we were in the area. Everything looked amazing...except seeing a fly on the croissant. With the croissants being over $7.00 each, why would this establishment have open cases. Nothing is protecting the pastries from flies... It is a cute patisserie, but the fly situation isn't acceptable. read more

The only hiccup I have come across is if you don't get there earlier in the day you will miss out on a good amount of their items. read more

The goat cheese quiché is heavenly. I also liked the berry Dubai croissant. I've never had a problem with customer service here until today. The cashier seemed to be in a bad mood. He turned his back to us when we approached the register, disappeared to the back kitchen for seemingly no reason, then wordlessly returned to the register. No greeting, no eye contact. He stood there like we were invisible. It was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. Not a good way to treat customers at all and we left feeling unsure of why the interaction was so awkward. read more

After all these years we still come!!!! Never disappoints. This time in addition to grabbing the chocolate croissants and ham and cheese croissants we had time to have breakfast so we did! We ordered the Nancy crepe and avocado toast that had bacon and egg in too with a side of fruit salad. It was so satisfying and so good. We would definitely get it again. My first time having avocado toast and not the last. The bread was perfect and held it's crunch which is a must! The avocado was perfectly seasoned with a hint of lemon. Chef's kiss. The egg was perfect and bacon could've been cripier but I am not mad about it. The fruit was the perfect accompaniment and was delish. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. read more

Brioche de Paris, Walnut Creek: 2024 Jul 31 (4 of 5) This eatery is situated in downtown Walnut Creek - a perfect location for workers and visitors to the area. They're a family-owned café. The chefs prepare their pastries in the kitchen behind the shop every morning - so you can expect fresh rolls and coffee. They take pride, not only in the food they serve, but on their customer service as well... recognizing and addressing regulars by their first names. The atmosphere is relaxing, warm and cheerful. Most of the pastries are outstanding, but several were overly sweet. I notice their love and passion for French cuisine, and their commitment to their customers. I think this little café has developed in a big way in a short time. Kudos to the owners. I hope they continue to do well. Overall, this place is a strong 4. read more

A fun French style bakery offering sweet and savory crepes plus sandwiches and salads! I found Brioche de Paris by searching crepes. Specifically I've been on the hunt for good savory breakfast crepes. The location looks like DT Walnut Creek. There's plenty of parking in a parking garage about a block away (first hour is free). There is also street parking but it looked pretty packed so I opted for the garage. The interior is very cozy and intimate. There's a mixture of table sizes, bench top seating looking out the window, tables with cushioned booth seating on one side, and even small sofas/chairs in the corner. Spent about $50 the first go around. Ordered the Lille crepe (spinach, cheese, and salmon), large macaron, pistachio cake, ham and bechamel croissant, bacon and leek quiche slice, and the raspberry linzer. Then spent another $10 on drinks (bottled Perrier and organic lemonade from the refrigerated section plus $2 tip). The crepe did not disappoint! Tasty and generous filling of salmon and cheese instead of filling with mostly spinach. Very happy with my choice. I would like to try the other crepes next time. Maybe a sweet one too! I was very full after the crepe and struggled to finish the rest of the pastries. We ended up getting boxes for the leek and bacon quiche (did not eat it) and half the large macaron. The macaron was too sweet for my partner, but I liked it. I liked the flavor combination and the fresh raspberries inside. The ham and bechamel croissant was also a hit! Another favorite was the raspberry linzer. Honestly everything was pretty good. I'll be back. read more

Seeing the reviews and the display case, we wanted to check out the croissants because that is the marker for hubby. Easy to get in on a Saturday at 1130 but all of the almond croissants were gone. They must be the hot item. So, hubby settled for the hazelnut chocolate one instead. We had to gasp at the $7.25 price tag! It's Walnut Creek and they are expanding their space so they have to pay for all of this somehow right? The croissant wasn't fitting to its name as the flavor of hazelnut was absent and there was only one baton of chocolate inside. Parking can be tight on the street but there is a parking garage down the street. Support this local business read more

Lines out the door in the morning so we were intrigued. Walked in and there was an impressive amount of pastries and treats and you line up and pay before you sit. Seating is limited but most of the people ate quickly and then left so by the time you got to order and get your food, there was a place to eat. The food is beautiful and tasty but portions felt small for the price (but I guess bay area spots have had to raise their prices in general) Overall we were satisfied and might drop by to snack to try a different pastry but it's not necessarily a place we must come back to. You should give it a try for a snack read more
