Overpriced, overrated, always crowded and not so great hot chocolate! I was so excited to try the hot chocolate here but it just was alright. I had better hot chocolate in paris at other cafés. Husband got the French onion soup and it was just about alright. Thanks to Emily in paris, this cafe is expensive and not worth it! You can skip it. read more

After being rudely turned away at Saint Pearl, I ran over to Cafe Fiore around the corner and had a wonderful breakfast before I left Paris later that morning. Although the cafe was busy they still had plenty of seating and quickly took me in. I ordered a cappuccino, pain au chocolat, a mushroom omelette and juice. I forgot to take a picture of the mushroom omelette but it came with a little side arugula salad. A simple omelette that prob needed more seasoning but a little dash of extra pepper did the trick. The cappuccino and pain were perfect and I was treated very nice and warmly by the staff. It's definitely one of those cafes that are perfect to photograph for all your social media needs and located in great area in St Germain. Another 10/10 experience for me! read more

J'ai tout adoré, le service, la nourriture, l'ambiance ! Le Croque Madame était absolument délicieux, parfaitement préparé et plein de saveurs. Le chocolat chaud était riche, onctueux et réconfortant l'un des meilleurs que j'aie goûtés à Paris. Tout était frais et joliment présenté. J'y reviendrai sans hésiter ! I loved everything about this place -- the service, the food, the atmosphere! The Croque Madame was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The hot chocolate was rich, creamy, and so comforting -- one of the best I've had in Paris. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. I'd definitely come back again! read more

Very busy but luckily no wait for my party of 3 for Wednesday lunch. Service is fast and efficient. I ordered the French onion soup. Pretty overpriced. I'm a cheese fan but they put way too much cheese in it to where it overpowered the soup and ended up taking up 80% of the bowl after it hardened and clumped up. I also tried some of my friend's salad but it wasn't anything special. Not too sure I get the hype with this restaurant. read more

Not a big fan of tourist packed businesses and over crowded space so I'm not in love with this place. My mom said this is one of the most populat cafes in Paris so I was open to checking it out. The menu was extensive with alcohol, soft drinks, coffee and dessert. With most places with a big menu, this place doesnt have one thing that really shine for me. We had creme brulee, tea and coffee. Creme brulee was fine but it tasted cold - not sure if thats how it should be. Tea and coffee were average, nothing spectacular. Price was high even for Paris, especially with the average quality is a no no for me. Service was mostly quick but we do have to go find the server and ask for the check or try to flag him as soon as he is close to us to order an extra thing as it is very busy. I'd advise against going here - there are a lot of good places with smaller crowd and cheaper prices + better tasting food/drinks in Paris. read more

I was excited to visit the Cafe De Flore in Paris and I was expecting a restaurant rich in cultural art and famous books written by authors who frequented the café. Was highly disappointed by the lack of ambience and aesthetics. It was just another ordinary café. However, the offset was great service and delicious food. So not all was lost. Overall, I would recommend skipping this restaurant if it is on your list of historic sites. There are lots of terrific restaurants in Paris with great food and service and much more rich ambience. read more

A coffee landmark in Paris. A lot of my friends recommend this place. I have to say it's located in the nice and charming area of St Germain. As far as the food, I would say I have better pastries especially croissants from the small bakeries in the area. Their Parisian chocolate was just ok. There was a pretty long cue but were able to sit fast because we opted for outside seating. It was a great experience tho, just to have coffe while watching the Parisians and tourists walk the street. read more

I was told by a friend that I needed to stop by this cafe given its classic legacy in Paris. I learned so much about it while I was here, like how it's one of the oldest coffee houses in the city, and it's where a lot of famous and artists spent their time. In order words, it was a must visit spot. I ordered the Jockey and a coffee. I really enjoyed my meal here and the ambiance of the entire place. It was just what I needed to refuel myself and to get prepared for a lot of walking. read more

The napolean eclair was the best pastry I have ever had. Worth a trip for that alone. The coffee was fantastic and the vibe was as you would expect. Also, fairly friendly wait staff despite how busy they are. I spilled my espresso and the waiter brought a replacement without being asked to do so, which I would not have expected - particularly given the locals' reputations. Make this a part of your trip. You won't regret it. read more

Walked around St. Germain looking for a great place for breakfast. Cafe de Flore was it! The wait was very short for a Saturday morning (~5 mins). The service was friendly and efficient. We also had a great outside table in the shade and did not feel rushed. The food was good and I would definitely come back. read more

Came for dessert and drinks. We sat outside so we could people watch. It was later in the evening so they were sold out of a lot of desserts. Our server was very kind and helpful. We enjoyed our drinks and sweets. Would recommend stopping by just for a drink or coffee if you're visiting Paris! read more

Went in for desert after dinner at Brasserie Lipp. Ordered the crème brûlée, and it only went downhill from there. Three of us were sharing, but we only received one spoon. We asked for more spoons, but the waiter ignored us. When the desert came, we were also given two tiny spoons that would be used for mixing sugar into coffee, not eating. Anyways, the crème brûlée was horrible. Not even hot, top was barely crisped, cream tasted horrible. Very bad crème brûlée, and even worse experience. read more

This cafe in Paris had the coolest decor ever. I loved the green lettering on their tea cups, which they even sold. Their hot chocolate was amazing, especially with the whipped cream on top of the rich, warm chocolate. They also collaborated with highsnobiety on a fashion project. When I found out that charcuterie boards originated in France, I couldn't resist ordering one. It was delicious, with a variety of cured meats and fresh baguettes, along with a touch of apricot. The presentation was on point and made the experience even better. Also- I need to add that our our server Joseph was super attentive and nice. Ps. Had to get the red nails for Paris!! Super on brand read more

Overrated and overpriced place Atmosphere: very loud and noisy Service: poor service, arrogant attitude, not carefully with food handling. When I pointed out the food we ordered is not handled properly, they ignored it, and the explanation is so poor, they treated foreign customers like idiots. We are the only two persons served with "smashed croissant ", while all the other people have regular and puffy croissant. The service person is very arrogant. I do NOT recommend this place. Also price is high, one regular omelette is 19 euros, and one small cappuccino is 9 euros. Food: just so so, not worth the price. Overall, I do not recommend this place. read more

This is the place that always had the line and crowd. I guess we had to try it once. In the end, it was solid, but I think it's more popular because it's less money than the place next door. That said, the place next door has a nicer patio and better food. It's worth the additional tariff. We had a very nice breakfast. There's just nothing like properly done soft boiled eggs. The bread, quality butter, coffee, and service were all very good. read more

The food was excellent. Great customer service. Didn't have to wait long even though there's a long line. Love the outdoor tables with a view. Will definitely go back to try other selections on the menu Only downside is I didn't know that I have to pay for the butter for my bread $2.50 euro is pricey for a small butter. read more

What a fun early afternoon meal and hang. They are genuinely nice to tourists which makes such a huge difference in the experience. So welcoming and kind. I love the history of this cafe. Beautiful branding. I've actually had a dish from here in my bathroom for 20 years and never been. I had a simple meal, a croque perfectly done and an excellent strong coffee. The waiter was super cool, and chatted and brought me a lovely table liner as a souvenir when I left. I'd come back anytime when in Paris. Kindness matters! So does cuteness and this joint has it in spades. read more

Hot chocolate is the most mediocre I've had in Paris, does not have rich chocolate taste, very watered down. Waiter was sooo rude!!!! When I asked how long it'd take to make an item, he said idk it can take 30 seconds 1 minute, I tried to cancel it later but couldn't get his attention, when I finally did, he said no it's already ready (it wasn't) and he said you have to increase your speed when your order. Whole interaction was so rude and hostile. Not worth it the hype!!! Too crowded and average tasting food. read more

"The Café de Flore is one of the oldest coffeehouses in Paris, celebrated for its famous clientele, which in the past included high-profile writers and philosophers." - Wikipedia Also, Emily from the show Netflix in Paris visited this cafe. Because this is a very popular and historic cafe, of course the prices are exorbitant and they're not incentivized to keep the quality of the food extremely high since they'll never run out of customers. Also, you may need to be a little bit assertive to get service to your table as the servers look pretty busy running around. The line to get a table goes fast, so don't let it intimidate you if your heart is set on trying this place out. All this said, you're paying for the history, not necessarily very delicious or filling food. I suppose it's worth a visit, but I won't be back again. read more

I cannot stress enough how crappy this place was. Up until this point we had had great service in Paris, but this place had the most rude staff. We waited in a really long line to get in, but the line actually went rather quickly. Upon seating we were semi-ignored. Once we finally placed our order things started moving faster but you could tell we were just part of a machine... The terrible part happened when a pigeon made its way inside the restaurant, and proceeded to fly around in a panicked, flutter, and landed on my sons head, at which point he screamed because he was properly terrified. It was one of the most traumatic experiences for him, and he is still scarred by it. The pigeon ruined the entire meal, and I understand that's not the staffs fault, but nobody came over or even cared to address the situation. The rest of the restaurant patrons were horrified and tried to console us. Nobody from the staff cared that the pigeon had landed in our food. They didn't replace it, and they made us pay for the full meal. NEVER would go here again. The only reason it's two stars and not one is because the food was pretty good although way way way over priced. read more

Maybe it's because we got seated right away that I think my experience was more enjoyable. This was my first hot chocolate since coming to Paris so I can't compare it to other establishments but I quite enjoyed the one at Cafe de Flore. Very very rich chocolate so make sure you get cream on the side or a pastry to help with it. Everything here shares the common theme of being overly sweet but honestly still delicious, just overbearing at times. The eclaire shell was hard but the decadent cream made up for it. The mille was incredible. Flaky and sugar glazed layers joined together by the lightest most fragrant vanilla creme. read more

Came in for a snack around 4pm. It was slowly getting busy, but I was able to get a table within 5 minutes. I saw a lot of customers getting cappuccino or hot chocolate. Those might be popular items. I have been craving for profiteroles au chocolat, so I ordered one. The presentation was wonderful. The ice-cream was smooth. The puff pastry was a bit rough, but it was still good. The chocolate was rich, but not too sweet or overpowering. It was very delicious. I was sat upstairs, and there were 2 servers. They worked hard by running up and down the stairs for picking up food from the kitchen and clearing up dirty dishes. There was a lady working inside the ladies bathroom by cleaning the toilet in between customers. Staff was friendly. read more

Honestly awful experience. After getting seated, no one came to take our order for 20+ minutes because the waiters were doing a shift change. By the time the guy finally came he said they were "done serving croissants". I should have just walked up and left right then. Giant waste of time. I would have went somewhere else if I knew this was going to happen. My advice to you is to come early I guess. This definitely sours my opinion on ever coming back to cafe de flore. This is the only place in Paris I had to wait an excessive amount of time for everything. read more

The hot chocolate here is indeed all that you've read it to be: warm, flavorful, and sweet enough to feel like a guilty pleasure. One the night that we visited we were seated right away. The service was excellent and swift. I also had to try their smoked salmon which was laid out thinly over the entire space of the dinner plate. It was delicious and served with two thick slices of toast similar to what we call "Texas Toast" in the U.S. Make it a point to visit this restaurant preferably on a cold night when you can enjoy your hot chocolate. Enjoy your visit! read more
