I have eaten here several times and I am stuck on the Quiche Lorraine and fruit cup. I was not disappointed. My husband wanted a waffle and had one with blueberries. He was not impressed. Didn't have enough blueberries for him. But the coffee is the best and service was excellent. read more

This little cafe is a little pricey but let me tell you, IT IS WORTH IT! Their food is fresh, delicious and authentic. Their Moroccan eggs are so good. The pancakes are big and fluffy with perfectly crisp outer crust and nice soft fluffy inner cake. Try their blueberry pancakes. Their caprese salad is perfect and if you like that, try their caprese sandwich with the egg!!!! Their croque monsieur is the perfect amount of cheesy and crisp in all the right places. My only complaint is that it's a little crowded on the weekend, but this gem is worth the wait. read more

Great little casual spot with a great menu. They do close at 2 and fresh prepared food takes some time so allow time if eating in. We needed all of an hour to enjoy our visit which ran us into closing time but they were cool and worked around us. Really enjoyed the roast chicken brie and baguette with the side of baked apples with walnuts and craisins, also the BLLTA and the chocolate mousse. Been here twice and will return! read more

Great little cafe. Excellent food and great service. We will be back when we come to this area again!

After a lucky break finding a nearby parking space, we ventured into this establishment. The order is placed at the counter & your food is brought to you. Self service for the beverages. I had the western omelette & roasted red potatoes. My meal was flavorful & the portion size was very generous. My husband had the crepe with egg, bacon & cheese w/ a side of roasted red potatoes. Again, generous portion & full of flavor. The atmosphere was lively. It's a bonus that a lot of the food is prepared where you have a clear view of the process. There is also a display case full of culinary delights. I only wish there was better ventilation as it was a bit smoky from the non-stop activity at the grills. I enjoyed my experience overall & look forward to trying more menu items. read more

We love Cafe des Amis! Such a nice spot for a relaxing breakfast or lunch! A great location off the road that makes you feel like your in a cute European cafe! read more

Great atmosphere, kind workers and delicious food! They have a great selection of food you can't always get other places and plenty of allergen friendly options! Love the salad, sandwiches and sides! Will be back soon! read more

Great ambience, chill spot, good coffee. It's a yes from me. Variety of good food and friendly workers. Would recommend this over any of the other mutant places In Coraopolis or moon read more

Tasty food! Love the quiches and chicken salad croissant sandwiches. Highly recommended!

Everything is just so. The food is much better than anything you get in France. I do like the open kitchens; watched one too many episode of Kitchen Nightmares. And the staff is just down to earth personable; just a very cool Sewickley's goto place. read more

Very disappointing. Omelet was underwhelming. What was advertised as home fries was 2 burnt to a crisp frozen hash brown patties. Not worth the money or the wait. Used to love this place. Won't be going back read more

If you are looking for QUALITY breakfast/lunch food or pastries, Cafe des Amis is THE place to be. We either go there or get takeout from there at least once a week. The food is consistent and delicious and the atmosphere is cute and very casual. My "go to" is the breakfast veggie wrap that is filled with eggs, tons of yummy vegetables and feta cheese - SO GOOD!! The orzo is my favorite side dish - always seasoned so perfectly. I also enjoy the crepes (both sweet and savory) and the delicious sandwiches at lunch time. If you can, save some room for a raspberry tart - you won't regret it! read more

First off, the food is AMAZING!!! From crepes to quiche to the huge pancakes and unique lunch sandwiches everything is high quality and comes with a side. Get the homemade Mac-cheese it's the creamiest cheesiest most perfect side with any dish. Their new chocolate lava cake is the icing on the meal, it's ooey gooey and delish Anytime I get a chance to go to brunch with friends I take them here. Dennis is fantastic, he runs a great place and takes pride in everything the chefs make.....just an overall high quality brunch and lunch spot anytime. read more

Myself and a coworker were in town for a meeting and arrived early to catch lunch and stumbled upon Cafe Des Amis. The initial impression is just that of a lunch shop but when you approach the counter and look into the display cases of the lunch and desert items it is quickly apparent that this is no ordinary deli. They had escargot on the menu and in the case! I had a lunch croissant with chicken salad and my coworker had it with tuna. Sides are also interesting like ratatouille and french onion soup. Drink selection is minimal however. The chicken salad was amazing and the croissants were delicious, the tuna was also great according to my coworker. And just because it was a French restaurant we had to have a crepe for desert which didn't disappoint. This place is just a little hidden gem outside of Pittsburgh. read more

I don't give out 5 stars very easily to any establishment but I was so pleasantly surprised by Cafe Des Amis that there was no other rating that could do the meal I had proper justice! Tucked down a side street in the Village of Sewickley, Cafe Des Amis serves breakfast all day (LOVE having that option) but also has a lunch menu if you're so inclined. Parking can be tricky but meters are free in Sewickley Saturday and Sundays (in addition to holidays) so street parking, if available, is always an option. Also, the Sharp Edge Bistro parking lot is a short walk away if needed. My family, my boyfriend, and I visited Cafe Des Amis this past Saturday around 12pm for a brunch/lunch meeting. The inside has tables for both smaller and larger parties and we decided on a table near the window for the 5 of us. You order at the counter and pay first. You are handed a number and then your food is brought out to you when ready. They have bottled beverages (coke products, bottled water, pellegrino,etc) in a cooler in addition to the option of just tap water or fresh brewed iced tea. They run weekly specials, and this week one of the specials was ham,apple, and brie on a baguette served with one side. This is what my mom opted for, and while she said it was very good, she took half home and said she would add honey mustard to the sandwich when she ate the other half. My brother chose the roasted chicken and brie sandwich (lettuce, honey mustard , and mayo on a toasted baguette) and, although I can't comment personally on it, he seemed to enjoy it. My dad chose the HAT wrap (hummus, avocado, turkey, lettuce, tomato on a warm tortilla) and he said it was very tasty. My boyfriend and I, having run the Pittsburgh 5K only a few hours earlier, decided to go with breakfast, each of us choosing an omelet. He chose the bacon and brie omelet while I went with the zucchini, basil, and goat cheese omelet. Each of the omelets, like the sandwiches, come with one side. I did not try my boyfriend's omelet but he said it was perfectly cooked and he enjoyed the complimenting flavors of the brie and bacon. Here is where the 5 star review comes in to play: The omelet I ordered was hands down THE BEST omelet I have ever eaten in a restaurant! Typically, I don't order omelets so I don't have much to compare this one too, however, my boyfriend, who orders omelets frequently for breakfast, agreed that it was absolutely amazing! It tasted so fresh and flavorful and was light and fluffy. Although it was quite a large portion, it was not heavy nor greasy and was quite easy to finish. The zucchini tasted fresh and was plentiful throughout the omelet, and I loved the creaminess the goat cheese provided for the dish. I had the fruit as my side and the melons were as sweet as can be-such a nice touch on the warm day we had this past Saturday! I raved about my omelet so much that my mother has requested we return this Sunday for Mother's Day so she can try one herself! I hope we do go back this Sunday as, even though I typically don't like to return to a restaurant so soon, my my meal was just that good! read more

Cafe des Amis - Brunch with the fam - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

Plentiful portions for breakfast, brunch and lunch, as well as plentiful options of the menu. Heaping salads, packed sandwiches, "all day" breakfast omelets with your choice of a side (salad, fruit, etc) and breakfast/dessert crepes happening at all times. Desserts like chocolate mousse and french pastries are also on hand. In a quick trip to Sewickly, I ate here twice - breakfast one day, lunch another. Had a salad and the pancakes. Friends had crepes, omelets and sandwiches. No complaints. Go with your craving - I don't think you can go wrong. This place is a gem. read more

I've had lunch at Cafe Des Amis on a couple occassions and each time I really enjoyed my lunch. They have a wonderful selection of sandwiches, salads, quiches, and crepes...all reasonably priced. I've never had the brunch, but the lunch is so good that I'd love to come by on the weekend to try that menu too. read more

Cute little restaurant with friendly staff. I really truly wanted to love this place but I think I just ordered the wrong thing. They allow you to put anything in a crepe, not just what you see on the menu. We ordered a Florentine omelet inside of a crepe and it was very good. I ordered a chicken caprese crepe and it was oily and lacked flavor. The crepes are thin but somewhat crispy which is a little off putting. The French onion soup was good. read more

Walk in and the lady is friendly to the customer in front of me and all but ignores me. It's my first time in and notice 2 signs that say order at counter... stand there a while then the lady says if your ready I can help you at the register. Okay, place my order and ask for an ice tea, she takes my card to pay but keeps her gloves on, same gloves grabs a glass and dips it into the ice. Slightly concerned but okay... ask for a lemon, and it's completely rotten, and was placed directly in my glass gross! I had to ask for a new glass because the women thought since I just took the rotten lemon out it was enough. So lemon issue aside.. I'm given a number and I sit down out side and the same lady from the counter brings me my food but no silverware, I guess you have to get your own. Food was just okay but I'm questioning the cleanliness of the place. read more

I love this place.. although I want to try everything, I just can't pass up their veggie breakfast wrap~it is amazing..!! Every side dish I've tried is also quite delicious and different than the usual choices. Some reviews said they didn't like the coffee, but I think it's very good. I also think the prices are pretty reasonable. read more

Why oh why does Cafe des Amis have to be in Sewickley??? I had the mushroom duxelles crepes (one of the specials last weekend) and the tomato salad. The crepes were very good, and I love the choice of side dishes-- they had interesting options. My husband had chicken/bacon crepes with a garden salad and enjoyed them as well. My kids ordered the best thing, though-- French toast. They used a fresh baguette and it had slightly caramelized bananas on top. It came with caramel sauce and whipped cream. When the waitress brought it out and saw that my kids were going to share, she not only brought an extra plate, she put extra whipped cream on it so they could each have their own little pile of cream. It was *ridiculously* good, thanks to the bread. Overall, this a nice little cafe that is surprisingly kid-friendly. Oh, and if anyone with a more exciting life than me ever feels like boozing it up at lunch (they close at 3, I think), it's BYOB sans corkage fee. read more

I'm pretty pleased with Cafe Des Amis - from my apartment I'm able ot walk to get breakfast on a lazy weekend morning so that fact alone helps it be very appealing to me. I am a big fan of the order, sit, and food is brought out - especially at breakfast. I've been twice so far and first time ordered the french toast with bananas- which was pretty awesome; second trip ordered a crepe - also was pretty good. When they get busy it's a little tough to come by coffee. It would probably benefit them to use a larger dispenser because I got half a cup and my boyfriend was out of luck until the next batch came out - then when it did there was a line of about 5 people all clammering for coffee. The more they put into it the better the experience is going to be for their customers. A tip - there are real coffee cups, not just styrofoam. I hate drinking out of styrofoam so if anyone is like me you can get real coffee cups. It's a nice place to go when cereal doesn't cut it... read more

Don't know why anyone would give this place any rating other than a five. Crepes, sandwiches, croissants, side dishes and of course the French toast are all fantastic. And the service is excellent and friendly. Been here at least ten times and never disappointed. read more

My experience with the place was ok I know where the place was but I would say one out 2 things were delicious which was The Quiche Lorraine was the best quiche I ever had good job but I have problem with the display of food and the Mac and cheese. First up is the display, I have no problem for food on display but I didn't really like how that the side dishes were shown were not appetizing and this is my opinion and I can see that the kitchen is pretty tight, but still some of the food on the display was supposed to be on a display. The next problem was the Mac and cheese, I know that side are supposed to be some what good but I thought that the Mac and cheese tastes pretty weird aftertaste but I think that there were some French cheeses like Guyere but the combination was not the best. But over all, were good things like how beautiful the place was on a such a little street in Sewickley read more

This place is awesome. What a hidden gem. My parents, husband and I loved it ! We will be back. From the breakfast to lunch you can't go wrong. We also had a chocolate tart for dessert which was amazing. Can't wait to return!!! read more

Some of the food was tasty but too much of our lunch went badly to ever pay to eat here again. First, my baguette was a piece of french bread, probably Mancini's- definitely NOT a baguette. Second, they served our soup in a deli take out container. Third, our three sandwiches took 30 minutes to be served. Fourth, my beignet was cold and stale and the cream for the coffee was Coffee Mate (I did ask for half and half and eventually was given a small paper cup with heavy cream in it). And last, my friend's chocolate mousse was coffee flavored (maybe it was meant be mocha but they told us it was chocolate). Maybe once COVID is over, these guys can get things back to five star service and food. read more

Second time here and disappointed compared to last. The cashier person wasn't friendly what so ever and the same croque Monsieur i got last time was overly cheesy and just not very good. Inconsistent. The other people that came with me did not like it either. read more

This place caught me by surprise. What I will say is, I'm not surprised to find a hidden little gem in the heart of Sewickley, PA. You walk down a little narrow alleyway and suddenly come up onto a quaint, vibrant little breakfast/brunch cafe spot. The food was very good. We decided to eat lunch there and had chicken salad and tuna melt sandwiches, with their amazing French onion soup. The environment was fun and full of very happy customers. The service was great as well! We will be back, for sure! read more

I went once, and then again, and then again. Delicious food, great choices, very nice people. Headed back in a month!

The French onion was one of my favorites and the breakfast sandwich was excellent. I had the ciabatta but you can pick a croissant.

Place is excellent. Their breakfast sandwiches and quiche are out of this world and are a very reasonable price. If you're looking for breakfast in the Sewickley area, this is the spot. read more

Cafe des Amis - Shrimp salad = A+ - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

Today I got lunch with with several friends and they brought me here. This is a really nice little cafe. You really get little bit of the French culture when you walk in as well. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad Melt with chiptole sweet potatoe...NOW let me tell you something absolute Amazing food was absolutely the bomb dot com. The flavors in the chiptole sweet potatoes... Oh my grrrrawdddd...match made in heaven. My tuna melt also phenomenal. Def coming back. Thank you for this experience read more

We used to come here often before covid struck. We ordered take out a number of times this past 15 months to curb our withdrawal. The food was still delicious, but we missed the atmosphere. Sooooooo happy to be back. read more

Don't waste your money. Ridiculously overpriced, restaurant (including kitchen) was FILTHY, food was under seasoned and poor quality, coffee was weak and burned. Ubiquitous use of a microwave. $34 for two sandwiches that were small and dry. Try La Gourmande in Lawrenceville or Hazelwood if you're looking for something French. read more

This was my family's first experience at Cafe des Amis. The website enticed us with the promises of French American cuisine and the flexibility of gluten free as a family member is a Celiac. I pump up my rating to two stars because they prepared my sons gluten free pancakes in a separate pan but the staff seemed less than knowledgeable about the seriousness of the need for gluten free or what it really meant "this that no wheat". The food was average at best. I had a fiesta chicken omelet, the chicken was terrible dry. The side of salsa was a prepackaged container which shocked me for something I felt should have been freshly made. The automatic hot tea water never filled up a complete mug of water and the staff knew this and never offered a solution except for to "just wait it out". The coffee was not much better as if was often unfilled and when it was replenished the flock of customers ran at one to refill their mugs ... not so much 6 feet apart but it was every man for themselves. Our food was served on paper plates which were not every sturdy or environmentally sound. Maybe we made the wrong menu selections. Everything sounds amazing and we may give it another try but not anytime soon. read more

Great Cafe! The menu includes a great variety of breakfast options, sandwiches, crepes, and waffles. Unfortunately customer service was terrible. The employee was rude and had several brusque and cynical attitudes. read more

Super quaint, family-friendly, French spot. Friendly folks and good food. Atmosphere is 5 stars, food was 4.5 stars as my chicken salad was little too mayo-y. Good coffee too. read more

Everything we had was great. The French toast was my favorite. We will definitely return. Staff was friendly and super helpful.

I got the BLTTA (Bacon, Lettuce, Turkey, Tomato and Avocado). It was very delicious. I was expecting more turkey and bacon on the sandwich but this detail was no a deal breaker for me. The staff was friendly and the food arrived at a restaurants speed. If you're in a rush I would not recommend this café. It is not a fast food joint. It has a very laid-back and enjoyable atmosphere. read more
