It was probably 4 years ago that I last visited Douceur de France, and this past Saturday I had a lovely breakfast with one of my friends. Even when it was pretty busy, we got our table relatively fast. Service was great, our server was constantly checking on us. Food was delicious, portions are great and my iced chai latte was also pretty good. Don't leave without having some pastries (there or to go!) everything looks amazing (I got myself a coffee eclair which was absolutely delicious). read more

Came with a small group on a Saturday for brunch and had a great experience! Our waitress Brianna was great. She checked on us frequently, and brought our drinks and food in a reasonable amount of time too. The food was great! They had a large food menu to choose from, and everyone in our group enjoyed everything. I ordered the savory buckwheat crepe and enjoyed it. They also have a dessert case loaded with very tasty desserts! I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in the area! read more

Great atmosphere and friendly staff welcome you to this lovely spot in Marietta! We took our Son and daughter-in-law out for breakfast, and it was outstanding! I had the Monte Cristo sandwich, and if I could remember what anyone else had, it'd be a miracle. However, from the picture, you'll be able to see how great everything looked! The taste measured up with the presentation, many times over! The Monte Cristo was delicious, and the side potatoes are a great choice. They're done perfectly! Do yourself a favor and stop by if in the Marietta, NW Atlanta area. read more

What an amazing stop in Marietta! You can dine inside or outside. They have ample parking in the lot. I love that they have a full menu as well as a bakery. I loved my smoked salmon tartine. It was exceptional! My husband also loved his savory crêpe. We ordered two full-size bakery items and two small size ones. We opted to dine outside and although it had been a rainy day, it was covered, and it was a great experience. The service was wonderful. read more

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast this morning with some friends from Virginia. Heriberto provided very friendly service. The quiche Lorraine was delicious. The flaky crust complimented the Swiss cheese and ham. The crème brûlée French toast with blueberries was also delicious. We enjoyed eating outside on the patio area. Definitely recommend. read more

I drive past Douceur de France multiple times a week - a GEM hidden in plain site. Today I stopped, Ariel & Maya were patient while I was so indecisive! They offered recommendations and were sincerely cheerful. I cannot wait to indulge in my almond croissant. I purchased a sour cream pound cake for my daughters and a gorgeous chocolate ganache tarte for a friend. read more

Slow service. Sat 10 minutes before offered water. Server was as sweet as could be, but had too many tables and couldn't keep up. Not her fault but nonetheless it was not ideal. Seems like they have added more tables. We were very close to our neighbors but interior is still cute and decorated for Valentine's Day. Food....just not the same. Quiche crust is not the buttery delicious crust it used to be and no salad with the quiche. I was disappointed! Soup of the day was White Bean with Rosemary. VERy GOOD! Napoleon latte was a little lackluster- needed more distinct flavors. All in all a disappointing visit to Douceur. read more

Great find! I stopped in while traveling for work. I got a hot mocha and a raspberry cream cheese danish. All the pastries looked phenomenal! It was buttery, flaky, not too sweet - just perfect!

We've been to this French bakery several times because it's definitely legit and delicious, but never stopped for lunch. We had tickets to the 3:00 show at The Strand to see Footloose (which was really good!) and decided to check out the menu. I ordered the Tourte Au Poulet, which is a marinated chicken with Swiss cheese, onions, mushrooms and bechemel with a mushroom sauce in a flaky pasty and it was awesome! The service was friendly and quick and would have ordered a desert since they all looked delicious, but had no room! You have to check this place out! You'll be back - I promise! read more

This review is solely for their bakery options, which are all fantastic!! We ordered a Black Forest Yule log cake for Christmas, which had a light, airy, and not too sweet vanilla cream on top with brandy cherries in a moist chocolate cake inside. Very good and a great option if you want a less chocolate heavy cake. We were so impressed with this cake and decided to get crème brûlée, macarons, lemon meringue tart, and a pear almond tart slice for New Years. Let me tell you that this is where we were blown away. The pear almond slice was PHENOMENAL. Most pear tarts lack the pear flavor or it gets covered up by other flavors, but here the delicate pear flavor remained the star of the tart. There were a lot of thin pear slices on top delicately sugared, and the almond flavor on the tart itself remained prevalent but did not overpower the pear. The dough on the tart remained moist with a flaky crust. Super delicious and addicting. The same can be said about the crème brûlée, it had a very strong, authentic vanilla flavor and an egginess to really give it body. The black specks seen from using true vanilla beans were seen inside the dessert which really shows their ingredient quality. Probably the best crème brûlée I have had that was bought! The lemon meringue tart was also delicious, the meringue on top was super light and airy like a cloud, while they were able to balance the lemon flavor perfectly so that it danced between sweet and sour. Most other places have the lemon be too sweet OR too sour, but they nailed the sugar level on this one! The tart crust itself was also SUPER soft, most places have a very hard tart crust but this one was so soft we cut through it with a butter knife. Macarons are also super soft with delicious cream and fragrant flavors inside that build as you eat them. We liked the coffee flavor that was really delicious, and have yet to try the raspberry and lavender macarons, but the pistachio one had a very light pistachio flavor that could have been stronger. Overall a really great bakery in the area was superb quality for reasonable prices. Definitely our go to bakery!!! read more

We are from out of town and a local friend brought us here for lunch. This place was amazing! Sadly, we forgot to take pictures, but trust me, it's worth a stop. The kiddo had the Belgium waffle with cookie butter and it was delicious. Husband and I split the Les Croques and each got a cup of the truly fantastic tomato basil soup. Even the kid's side of bacon was great. Had to get a dessert to split and the chocolate lover's was the way to go. It lived up to the name. Also sampled a couple of macrons, which were also great. We also got a loaf of sourdough and chocolate croissants to have for breakfast tomorrow. read more

I grew up in Marietta and have watched Douceur de France for years -- I can't believe it took me this long to finally stop by! I went for brunch on a Sunday, and while it was busy, we were seated within about 15-20 minutes. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, which helped us navigate the menu. I ordered the Parmesan Polenta Bowl (with egg whites) and a chai latte. The bowl was hearty and filling -- the chicken sausage, spinach, shallots, and roasted red peppers all worked nicely together, though it could've used just a bit more seasoning. The croissant I added on the side was the star -- flaky, buttery, and served with butter and a lovely strawberry-like purée. We also stopped by the bakery after our meal and grabbed a few treats. My pear almond Bordeleau was absolutely delicious, and we also tried a macaron, almond croissant, mango paradise, and some other treats which were all fresh and beautifully made. Prices are reasonable (my total was under $30 with tip not including pastries), and the overall vibe is cozy and authentic. If you love French cafés, Douceur de France is definitely worth a visit -- I'll be back for more pastries soon! read more

I've driven past Douceur de France, a French café & bakery just outside Marietta Square, for years--like, nearly 20--and finally stopped in. It was busy with brunch crowds, but we were seated within about 15 minutes for two people. While waiting, we browsed their pastry cases filled with tarts, cakes, and sweets (and of course grabbed a few to go after eating). Upon being seated, our waitress, Jo, was warm, attentive, and full of great recs for both food and drinks. I went with the fried egg BLT (swapped for egg whites) on a buttery croissant. Simple, but the edition of the croissant said otherwise! It was a little on the fresh side flavor-wise, but nothing a sprinkle of salt couldn't fix. My sister ordered the parmesan polenta with sautéed peppers, spinach, shallots, chicken sausage, and egg whites--she enjoyed it too, just wanted a touch more seasoning. Prices were reasonable, around $25-$30 per person including tip--for an entree, side, and drink. Overall, cozy vibes, great service, tasty food, and those pastries? Chef's kiss. We'll definitely be back to try more! read more

We enjoyed a nice Sunday brunch here! You can order pastries and coffee at the counter while you wait for a table. We did have to wait a while since it was Sunday afternoon. Our server was super sweet. A little scattered since it was super busy but very nice and got all of our meals out quickly and correctly. Their tomato soup is wonderful! I considered getting some to go for lunch the next days. The quiche was wonderful and a large portion. Everyone in our group was pleased with our meals! Very nice for breakfast/lunch food! We'll come back (but maybe on a less busy day) read more

They get their ingredients imported from France except for fresh product. They make just about everything in house. A must try when you're in the area. They sell out their beignets very quickly so you better go early for that. Get their creme brulee French toast before the kitchen closes at 3 pm. Customer service is really on point too! read more

We really enjoy our meals at Douceur de France. Whether it is breakfast, brunch, or takeaway pastries - the food is consistently delicious. I often choose between the grown up grilled cheese (with the tomato basil soup) & the salmon Benedict for sit down meals. Service is friendly & good. The ham and cheese croissants are a common takeaway item for tomorrow's breakfast. Just pop it in the oven to heat it up and it's a perfect start to the day. We've gone with some of the takeaway quiches, too. read more

Our little group came here for lunch during a week day. Our waitress, Isabella, was amazing! She gave us great recommendations and waited on us well. I ordered the chicken panini with pesto and a small Cobb salad. Both were amazing. The pesto on the fresh ciabatta roll was so good and freshly made. The cheese was melty and warm...yum! The size of the Cobb salad and how it was put together was so beautiful that everyone else at the table wished they had ordered it too! We took a chocolate croissant and an almond croissant home and both were perfectly flaky and delicious. I highly recommend this place. read more

Everything tasted incredibly fresh, perfectly baked, and absolutely delicious. My favorites are the Lychee Rose Entremet, Almond Croissant, Vanilla Paris Brest, Coconut Macaroons (not pictured) I ordered the chicken sausage egg croissant and dined inside the café. While the croissant itself was beautifully flaky and buttery (seriously, perfection), I'd probably skip the sit-down breakfast next time and stick to loading up on pastries from the bakery counter instead. I love love love the bakery!! Nothing was too sweet. PSA: It gets super busy, but trust me - it's worth the wait. read more

First and foremost, shout out to our server Taylor! I've said it before, the food brings me in....the people keep me coming back! Service was EXCELLENT! LOVED HER! Truly warm and welcoming and we will seek her out every time. In fact, everyone we came in contact with were next level. We were first timers and it meant a lot! Now to the food! When we go to French bakeries, we always try something on a baguette and something with a croissant. These are classic offerings, and these were LEGIT! For the baguette, I had a classic ham and Swiss with butter. I got a side of raspberry jam that made it incredible! The bread was fresh and crusty. Perfect and classicly French! My wife had a croissant with her breakfast of perfectly cooked eggs, and chicken sausage with a fantastic side of rosemary potatoes. There was also a side of strawberry puree. Just dip everything in that if you get it. No jelly needed! THEN we needed something SWEET so naturally we got a Nutella crepe with strawberries and bananas. It was delicious! This place does what bread and pastries are known for in France and they do it incredibly well! We will add this to our regular weekend brunch routine. Be prepared for lines on the weekend! We found getting there on a Saturday before 10am was about right to be sat quickly. Lots to look at as far as pastry offerings are concerned right when you walk in! We grabbed some on the way out. The place is super clean (including the bathrooms) and it feels European and there is a great patio for outdoor seating. Can't go wrong with Douceur de France! read more

I always try to give a restaurant at least 3 visits before a bad review. In the event the first visit is a bad experience. Well today is visit number 4. I am not sure why this place is always busy. Maybe there is a special insider club that gets preferential seating and service. On all four of my visits. I waited over 20 minutes to be seated when tables were visibly open and no others were waiting in line. Once seated service was slow and I underwhelming. Water cups are not filled regularly, drinks that are ordered are slow to arrive and refilled. My average wait time for food once ordered was 35 minutes ( my second trip the wait was over 45 minutes for two breakfast items!). I know Atlanta area restaurants are known for its atlantude from staff when dining out ,but everyone was pleasant, everything here was very slow moving. This may be an understaffing issue. Food was average tasting and nothing stood out. I would recommend avoiding this spot for the cost paid for the meal and the slow speed. read more

Delicious coffee, fantastic service, and amazing food. Visited over the weekend and it was packed. We had to wait 30 minutes to be seated but that wasn't an issue for us. The tables were pretty close together but we were comfortable during our meal. It's also baby friendly! They offer high chairs. The waitress also didn't make me feel bad for having a loud baby lol! She made sure to remind me that it was okay. I would 100% visit again. I highly recommend the dirty chai latte and egg croissant. The croissant was soft, flaky, and buttery. read more

Took my hubs for a birthday brunch. We were sat immediately. Jumping right to it...The experience with the waitress was a bit shifty. She left us for 20 minutes after coming over and giving the run down of the menu. Enough time for each of us to go check out the pastries and buy some, separately. She finally came back to take our orders and brought our drinks and that is honestly the last time she came to our table. I would assume her attitude changed when she brought our drinks and she popped the soda and began to pour, and I told her she doesn't have to pour it in the glass bc we like to drink while we eat..and it somewhat caught her of guard. ("Oh") When she went to the table next to us. I heard her say.."is it okay if I open your soda?" No need to be condescending. Nevertheless, someone from the back brought our food and she was very polite and brought us extra napkins when we asked. Later, our waitress was at the table next to us and as soon as I took my last bite and put my napkin down she rushed over and said "I'll take that" and grabbed the plate and walked off. I'm looking at my husband like 'I'm still chewing my food'. I'd be back because the food was really good but preferably not at her tables. read more

My friends and I came here for Sunday brunch and it was busy but we got sat quickly. Our server Kris was really friendly and great! I had the avocado tartine which was good but not a whole lot. The pastries are the main thing I really liked. I had a few of their pastries like the fruit tart, lemon meringue tart, and pecan pie. All of them were delicious! I ordered the seasonal s'mores latte but it didn't live up to my expectations. It was just okay. read more

This review is only for the bakery. I would like to give it a 3.5. The Atlanta area is woefully lacking great bakeries. This place is pretty good. The macarons are flavorful but the pastry is more dense than others. They have quite a few petit fours, which were pretty good. The eclair was fine. No complaints, but at the same time, it's not stellar. We just got takeout, but this would be a nice patio to hang out on. It's very large and totally covered. Also, the parking lot is large. I would come back when it's convenient, but this isn't a bakery destination for me. read more

Absolutely delicious food! Haven't had a better eggs benedict before in my life! The wait is worth it and even if there were a few hiccups with the heater sitting outside, it was still a meal worth a bit of trouble. This is definitely a place you don't go to in a hurry. There is almost always going to be a wait for a table and you will have to hunt for a parking spot. This is due to the fact that everyone wants to eat there because of the great food. The drink selection is great in all respects, from the boozy to the brewed. I had a delicious cider mimosa and my wife had a hot coffee drink. They have bottomless mimosas as well if that's your thing. The service was good, though they were very busy and there could be some longer stretches where the server would not stop by unless signaled (this didn't really negatively impact our meal). The outside seats were nice despite the heater going out. This was preferable to the crowded noisy interior seating which seemed a little hectic. The eggs benedict was the best I've ever had and the adult grilled cheese was a singularly unique sandwich. My wife really enjoyed her Tourte au poulet. Great place to go just make sure you plan to sit and stay a while. read more

I ordered this cake for my wife's birthday. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but it was pure decadence. It was a busy Sunday, and you order from the counter, so it took a while to wait in line, oh so worth the wait though. Also, with all the in and out traffic, it can get a bit warm inside on hot summer days, just be sure to pick a table by a fan or vent, and you'll be fine. read more

Came here for the first time with my husband on a Saturday late in the morning. It was really busy so it's a little bit difficult to get a parking spot. Once we were parked, we walked in and were able to get a table within a few minutes. The host just told us that if we wanted to, we can just go order at the front so we can more easily pick our pastry and then bring it back to our table as well. Given it was taking a really long time to get service. I decided to take her up on that and after waiting in line for quite some time I was told by the cashier that I can only order at my table if I'm sitting at a table. Was a little annoyed because I've been 10 minutes and the server had come by yet and also just stood in line for no reason. Thankfully, shortly after our server came by and she was very nice throughout the entire experience. I had a decaf Americano and a Nutella crêpe. I split a croissant with my husband as well. We love French food and I would say slightly disappointed by what we got. The food took a really long time and our coffee didn't even come out until after the food was delivered. The crêpe barely had any Nutella and it was all dolloped in the center and not spread around at all. Prettt disappointing, given the cost of the food too. With the speed of service and the quality of the food, we would likely explore other options to get our French food fixed. read more

Evelyn was so sweet and made me feel very special during my first visit. I don't know why it took me this long to stop in but this won't be my last! All my favorite foods in one place. Motivation to keep working out to eat great food. I took off on a Friday to have breakfast here and just enjoy a mental health day. This place really set the tone! The front of the building is the bakery and coffee counter, then there's plenty of seats to stay a while. I stayed to enjoy my breakfast. The menu was truly amazing and had so many of my favorites. I had to ask Evelyn what I should get & decided to eat what I normally don't at home. The omelette with potatoes did not disappoint! It was stuffed with arugula, bacon and goodness! My Chai Tea latte was delicious as well. I took a fruit tart to go. This will definitely be my place for breakfast, lunch & baked goodies. Tell a friend to tell a friend! read more

Maybe I'm missing something but the food was not worth the wait. We waited 40 minutes for a table, then 16 minutes for the server to come by (so we immediately ordered), and it was 14 minutes before I got my plain cup of coffee. From what we could tell, only one person was taking orders and checking on tables. I'd be mad if I were her because we could see right into the kitchen from our table, where 5 or so employees were standing around and chatting. They seemed to only be there to run food to the tables? I had the egg and cheese croissant which was fine. My one friend liked her quiche Lorraine and my other friend was kind of meh about her savory crepe. We had gotten some beignets while we were waiting for our table and they were also just ok. Overall not worth the wait or price. read more

I recently had lunch there and ordered the croque monsieur. The chef obviously doesn't know how to cook it. It was 2 very thick slices of bread (think Texas toast). With a little cheese, small piece of ham and some dried up bechemel sauce on it. It was very dry compared to the one I had in Paris which had thinner bread and was swimming in bechemel. It was very disappointing! read more
