To be honest, the breakfast wasn't amazing. I got the formulae Salee with the eggs and bacon,…read morejuice and coffee, and the basket of bread, of course. My wife did not - she just got a couple of a la carte items, and we both got a croissant. I'm going with 5 stars for a couple of reasons. One, coffee was excellent. My cappuccino was delicious, but every one of them was during this trip. Second, it's hard to find an american breakfast - it just isn't their thing. Third, the eggs and bacon were very good (but it was just scrambled eggs and bacon). Fourth, the croissant was delicious. Maybe I'm just so happy to have gotten a regular breakfast. The shop is very nice and seems like a great place to work if you need to. Its spacious and the staff was very friendly. I'd make it a stop on your trip if you plan on having breakfast that isn't just a baguette.

Great place for breakfast/ lunch. I stopped by for a lunch…read moreon a weekday and I waited about five minutes to find a table. Salad lunch combo (formule) was excellent. Salad was seasoned with base of balsamic vinegar and basil pesto on top. In this very meat-heavy country, I was glad to find something I could eat (and enjoy). They were so busy each step of service took a little longer than I'd have liked. But at least they were all very friendly and helpful.

Two people were kind enough to make room for me at one of the tables. I ordered an espresso and yogurt (I wanted to eat light that afternoon) which on top had fresh fruit sauce layer and on top of that broken pieces of hard caramel, not sure, but it was amazing, maybe not for my teeth. The woman across from me raved about the cheese cake, proclaiming it to be one of the best she ever had.

I was really excited to get some iced coffee but because iced coffee isn't really popular in Bordeaux, I had to settle for an orange juice because it was way too hot to drink hot coffee.

It's bright and cheery, much like the greeting we received when we walked in the door. Since their fixed brunch menu had everything we wanted to try we ordered one and shared. The hummus toast was good and the pancakes had an unexpected spicy (hot) kick to it. The waffle was light and crispy and not overly sweet. My dining partner wanted to stave off any bug she may have picked up during her travels and opted for the ginger lemon water. It wasn't too strong but you could definitely taste the flavors. We can see why Suzi's is so popular. I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

The salad, side, and I got lox as the main meal and then got a little cake as dessert. The food was incredibly fresh and while light, it was also very flavorful. The dessert was similarly not heavy or sugary but rather a light, slightly sweet cake Only awkward thing was that to get dessert you kinda have to walk inside to see what they have and then they cleared our silverware/water when we went to go inside to order dessert. Maybe there's some other way to do this but certainly nobody communicated this to us so did have to then wait for another set of silverware and more water. Would definitely return!

Not only is it an amazing brunch but also food art. For 22 euros you get two pieces of toast (three to choose from), a smoothie bowl or granola bowl, a stack of three mini pancakes, a hot drink and your choice of juice. It may not sound like a lot but I always have to strategically eat there so as to savor every bite and not be too full to wipe my plate clean. They're open everyday except Thursdays. I would highly suggest being there at least 40-45 mins early if you plan to go on a weekend and on a weekday just get there right when they open so as not to wait in line. If you're a local you NEED to go, and if you're a tourist you better be there right now!
