Food is grate service excellent Had a good time A1 manager was helpful and attended to our needs a must visit
This French bakery in Playa Del Carmen quickly became my go-to breakfast spot. The food selection is fantastic. The coffee served here was the best!! Just a heads up, it's best to arrive early as there's usually a wait of about 30 to 40 minutes, but trust me, it's absolutely worth it. The service here is outstanding, and the outdoor seating adds to the charm of the place. Overall, it's a must-visit if you're in the area! Ps. The cafe affogato is seriously the best!!
Chez is a POWERHOUSE of a French Bakery in Playa! Those baguette are baked right in front of your eyes and they are absolutely delicious. My favorite item, the "Jeronimo" sandwich, was Top notch! Get it! You will not regret it. It comes with an out-of-this-world pesto that makes this sandwich GOAT WORTHY! Now... those lime (lemon) tarts? Ok. I'm not really into anything sweet. So when I tell you this is a winner, it's a winner! I grabbed mine with an Oat Milk Latte. You're welcome! Service is decent. No one will be in a rush to get you things, or grab the check. But it wasn't dreadful. Just understand that you can take your time here. Because they most certainly will. With results like that, you won't be mad at all. Just enjoy the calm energy. As far as inside seating, there isn't much. It's not incredibly huge in there at all. It's enough room for a counter and display of baked goods (two winners: lemon tart and dulce de leche croissant), two restrooms, and maybe 4 tables. However, everything is clean and well done! As far as seating is concerned, you'll enjoy sitting outside on a sunny day the best! No worries, they have fans blowing throughout. Finally, after trying several spots for breakfast in Playa, Chez became our favorite! If you find yourself there, stop looking for another place, because you are looking at THE ONE! Enjoy!
This place was a 5 min walk from our AirBnB and became our go to spot for coffee and the absolutely delicious dulce de leche croissant. I'm a huge croissant lover and I love the fact that this French bakery found a way to localize it with the dulce de leche flavor that is so unique to Mexico. After visiting multiple times we got a mini Yule log to go and that was equally exquisite. I like it that they had a mini version that was just right for the two of us. They have tons of pastries and a huge outdoor seating area that is ALWAYS packed. Definite must try!!
Highly highly recommend this place if you're ever in Playa Del Carmen! The brunch here is absolutely amazing. I got a salmon croissant and a Nutella crepe. Both items were filling, fresh and delicious. Service was really good as well, our waitress was friendly. Ambiance is also nice, we sat outside on their covered 'patio'. I also got an iced latte from here and it was just okay, but it wasn't too bad to the point where I'd take a star off this review. Highly recommend everyone check this place out if you're in the area!
Love this place! It is a go to on ever visit! The staff is so friendly and the food is amazing! Cute ambiance with inside a/c seating or in the garden!
Amazing French restaurant and bakery that has a wonderful vibe and atmosphere that literally makes you feel like you're in Paris. The food and drinks here are excellent and very fresh. You can literally taste the freshness of their food and hot and iced drinks. I can't speak highly enough of this French bakery and restaurant but I will say if you are in the area this place you should not miss. The service was very friendly and most of the servers speak English here so communication is not really a problem. Our waitress, hostess, and server were all very kind, courteous, and helpful. I would recommend Chez Celine highly if you are visiting Playa Del Carmen for an unforgettable meal. 5 stars and two thumbs up!
It's been 8 years since I wrote a review here and I have to say that the almond croissant is still THE BEST! It's buttery, gooey, but flaky and melt in your mouth delicious. The price is reasonable for 52 pesos. It's a must try in the menu. If the wait is too long to dine there, then walk straight into the bakery and order one to go. I took a star off because the service isn't as great as it used to be. They are too busy to smile and really care about the customers. The cashier totally skipped me in line and took the order of the guy standing behind me first then accused me of cutting in line. It's disorganized and chaotic due to how busy it is.
Delicious ...lots of variety to choose from, breakfast and lunch. We come here all the time when visiting Mexico. I had coffee and fresh pineapple juice. Scrambled eggs with salmon and potatoes. My son had the countryside (ham and cheese omelette). My husband had 2 eggs over easy with sausage and bacon. All delicious! Would recommend!
Overpriced bakery, items are overly sweet and not very good. Service was horrible. Came here to pick up a few baked items for a snack and breakfast, the servers working behind the glass counter was not pleasant at all. All of them have facial seizure or too much Botox because none of them could smile. We picked out a few things and they packed them up for us. All of the items were very pricey, equivalent to US prices. After they packed up our baked items, they did not give us any napkins or utensils. When I asked her for some, The server got really upset and gave me multiple dirty looks and was extremely unpleasant. Holy cow what a bad attitude! We at least thought that it would be worth all the hassle, but the baked items were not good at all. All of them were overly sweet, and most of them were under baked, and the ingredients were not very fresh. They are either tasted like powder, or chalky. Definitely do not recommend! Major tourist trap!
We absolutely love this place. Nothing EVER disappoints. We always make sure we come here when we travel to La Riviera. We recomend the apple strudel and the lemon tarts. The almond croissants are also incredibly delicious.
I only had the cookies but they weren't good at all. The other desserts looked good but the two cookies I had chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookies.
Beautiful outside dining, great coffee, delicious! It has such a great atmosphere. French toast, quiche, and croissant sandwiches stood out as highlights for me. They do have mimosas after 10am. Service is good, but this is not a quick bite place. Getting the check always seemed to be a surprisingly long portion of our visit. read more

On 5th Street in Playa Del Carmen, restaurants are very expensive. We found this breakfast spot that is similar to pricing in Canada and was well worth it. Food was fresh and all homemade, even the Jam. Breads were outstanding. Huge menu selection. Great ambience. Excellent wait staff. This meal for both my husband and I was $435 pesos which is about $35 Canadian. We loved everything about it. You won't be sorry if you visit this establishment. read more

Cute French breakfast spot! The omelette was incredible. It had Gouda, caramelized onion, and spinach. Avocado toast had way too much avocado, can't believe I'd ever say that. The pastries are also delicious though if you just want pastries and coffee (: read more

YES! YES! YES!!! Chez Celine blew me out of the water! From the coffee to the farm fresh eggs! I'm almost left speechless. I was surprised to find so many French and Italian restaurants throughout Playa del Carmen. It was not what I was expecting, and to my surprise these places have been my favorite. We are planning a second stop before we end our vacation. read more

You had me at free wifi..but the breakfast was very good. The almond croissant and lattes were wonderful. The service was a little short but maybe because we are old and tourists? Not really sure but again, tipped like crazy Americans. Other than that, nice outdoor seating along 5th Av read more

Came here for breakfast around 8:30am on a weekday. By 8:45am their outdoor seating was filling up fast. My partner had the healthy drink and I had the chai latte. My chai latte was a little too sweet for me. I wish they had sugar on the side. There's no milk options here so hopefully you are not lactose intolerant. It was still very good. The service was also good. The food came out 15-20 minutes after we ordered. We both ordered opened face croissants. The croissants was nothing spectacular. The croissants at Costco are even better than these. You also only get half of a croissant. Inside you will find their display of pastries. We had a coffee eclair to finish. It had a lot of filling. So much that it was spilling out as you take a bite. It was also overly sweet. If you want better French pastries, there is another French bakery a block further down. read more

Probably one of the best tasting pastries in the world. Lines justify. All puff pastries are great. read more
Service was good. Plenty of outside seating. The chairs are too high compared to the height of the tables which makes it uncomfortable to sit. The menu is available in both Spanish and English with variety of options. The staff speaks some English. The food was OK. Not outstanding but filling with sufficient portion size. Savory crepe with chicken and mushroom had a lot of sauce which was way too much. Had to scrap some of it off. Latte was tolerable but definitely not the place to get an espresso-based beverage. Flat water is served in bottles as everywhere else. Prices are average for the area. read more
