Delicious prosciutto baguette, Panini sandwich and chips. I can't wait to try the salami, turkey, and ham sandwiches. The two men who helped me were so kind and great a helping decide which sandwich to try first. I felt very welcomed read more

I was feeling a bit peckish while relaxing in Magee Park, and luckily French Corner is right across the street. A short walk brought me into this small but pleasant spot. The banana, walnut, caramel crepe was calling my name, so I went for it. The crepes are made to order, and the chef prepared it in less than five minutes. I took it to go and shared it. It was very tasty, though both diners thought it could have used a more caramel and whipped cream. That said, I'm looking forward to going back to try some of their savory crepes. read more

Call me old fashion but customer acknowledgment would be a good start to a cafe experience. My wife and I stopped by here yesterday morning. 2 guys working, not very busy. We stood at the counter to order for 10 minutes. No one so much as looked our way or acknowledged our existence. Pastries looked good and coffee menu sounded good but we'll never know because we just walked out and took our money elsewhere. Not sure why customer service seems to be going down hill everywhere but this place has potential if management could create a customer centric culture. We'll try again another time. read more

We stopped in on Wednesday morning but didn't buy anything. The music was very very loud.

Lovely little spot. Cold earlier in the day so bring a sweater! Pastries are delicious and they have gluten free cake. Drip coffee has a steep $2 + tax charge for refills. Breakfast Croissant was dry and needs a sauce, so I recommend their tasty mustard sauce. read more

Cute little French cafe located right in the north end of carlsbad village, about a block from the beach. Nice Selection of sandwiches, coffee, crepes and pastries. Service is pretty average but overall a great spot to get your grub on. read more

French Corner - Le Jambon Fromage Sandwich Iced Oat Milk Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carlsbad, California

We ate lunch at French Corner today and fell in love with this quaint little place that serves up delicious food with a lovely outdoor sitting area overlooking Carlsbad Boulevard. I had La Dinde savory crepe and it was delightful, while my husband thoroughly enjoyed a Jambon Beurre Baguette sandwich. The staff are friendly and did a great job with the food. They have a wide variety of pastries and desserts and various quiches that we will be back to sample, too. Thank you for a great midday meal. We are so happy to have found you! read more

Nice quaint place at a corner street. Very informal and you get to choose your seat. The way they do it is you go to the counter and choose your order placed on the board then they'll give you a number. Surprisingly I didn't have to wait for my order. It was quick. I got the eggs with veggie crepes. It was delightful and light. I will definitely come back and try other foods they have. read more

In honor of "International Women's Day", we feel it is important to support women owned businesses (not only this day, but also on a regular basis) and it is that desire that led us to the "French Corner." Everything about this place intentionally seeks to provide you with a little taste of Paris during your visit. You'll need to "parle a little francais" while ordering because the menu items have had French names bestowed upon them. You may also notice that all of the music playing in the background features exclusively French vocalists. After we enjoyed both the Breakfast Croissant and the Breakfast Crepe (which was particularly "tres bien") we found ourselves simultaneously wondering when we'll get our first opportunity to invite family and friends to enjoy this place with us. Their location is conveniently situated near the heart of the Carlsbad Village to provide you with the opportunity for a leisurely stroll before or after your meal. And that's...Henry's Take. #internationalwomensday #frenchcornercarlsbad read more

Exactly what you'd like for a French cafe. I had the quiche with potato's and ham it's really good but definitely put some hot sauce if you are looking for more flavor. It came with a miniature mixed green salad. The dressing that came with was perfection. Almost a mustardy/balsamic vibe. The outdoor seating is a great hangout and relaxing. The cashier helped me decide on more popular options. In n out within 15 read more

I really wanted to like this place as it's close to my house- food is decent- but nothing special- service was a miss- there was only one other person in the place- staff took a while to get to the counter for us to order. And then they gave us the wrong crepe- my husband is not a fan of Nutella and what he ordered had no mention of Nutella- but it was drizzled all over it- and instead of a strawberry puree/jam inside it had chopped strawberries on top with a ton of whip cream- it's a cute place, but I'd rather go some place else. read more

There is some street parking out front, if you get lucky. Nice inside and some French style music playing, gave me an Emily in Paris vibe. The staff was nice and very quick to take and make the order. They have a large menu with plenty of options - everything from crepes, to coffee cake, eclairs, Mochas, etc. I will be stopping in again to try some of the crepes but today was just Mocha and coffee cake. I was disappointed with the coffee cake. It was flavorful but dry, I like it more moist. It looks great but I will try some other desserts next time. read more

The cashier was very friendly and helpful, I wanted to make a chance to the drink I got because I didn't love everything listed and she was very patient with ensuring my order was how I wanted. The place itself is very clean and in a nice spot in town. You can sit indoor and out which is perfect for a nice beach day. The food was simple and isn't really anything special which is nice if you're just looking for a quick bite to eat like we were. read more

French Corner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Had another wonderful breakfast here last weekend. This time I decided to bring my husband along to share this great find. I ordered their breakfast crepe again & he had a breakfast croissant. According to him it was the best breakfast croissant he ever had. (I think he was just really hungry but I'm glad he enjoyed it as much as I did!) Their mimosas were quite good too! Will definitely return soon. read more

We had a great time here! The vibe is French and relaxed. Brunch here reminded me of the perfect Sunday morning :) The food was delicious. I ordered La Dinde Crepe which consisted of turkey, pesto, Gruyère and arugula. All crepes come with a side salad which is light and refreshing. The crepes are a large size which matches the approx. $15 price. The restaurant vibe was adorable. The decor matched a cute quaint French bistro. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our food despite the business came out fast. Around 12 pm the cafe started playing French music which was a lovely touch! If you still have room after your meal, there are some delicious desserts offered. We were too full to indulge, but next time we will be prepared! read more

French Corner - La Dinde Crepe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carlsbad, California

To say that I have mixed feelings about this establishment is an understatement. It was a rainy day, and I was happy to get inside, but approaching the pastry case, we realize that the majority of the items appear to be more than a day old. The quiche had a very dry and cracked exterior, and the rest of the items did not look fresh. Because of this, we decided to place our orders directly off of the menu and were quite disturbed to see employees, using their bare hands to handle the food along with the young lady at the cash register wearing long, acrylic nails without gloves, which is well known as an OSHA violation. I had ordered the French toast, which ended up being quite bland and very large i. its portion. My daughter ordered a croissant and was very happy with it and my husband ordered a breakfast sandwich that was decent as well. My latte was absolutely fantastic, so I have no complaints there. Near the end of our visit, we noticed that they put out a fresh pumpkin pie so we did not hesitate to place our order as well as for the Millie feuille. Both of which were good, but the fresh pumpkin pie was by far superior with its exquisite cinnamon taste. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I don't think we'll be going back with so many options available be on this. read more

This was a cute spot with a variety of options but unfortunately the staff was very very unfriendly. We felt like we were being rushed out after only being there 10minutes. 2 staff members one after the other cleaned and very loudly, very obnoxiously pushed and dragged their metal chairs, to the point Where it hurt our ears. And we didn't think much of it until another staff member came and did the same things with 5 minutes. And then a third time about 15 minutes later. We kindly let this last lady know that the dragging hurts our ears and then she rudely said "sure" went outside, and then came back and dragged yet another chair read more

We connected with French Corner Cafe for our business meeting needs. We had several early morning business meetings with out-of-town and international guests with various dietary restrictions. They accommodated our needs and made the catered order part of our warm welcome. Everyone loved the options and presentation, so we've added this location to our rotation of caterers for our business meetings. The food was delicious, and they are a reliable vendor. read more

Absolutely love the French Corner. It's our Sunday after-church go to. The staff is friendly, the quiche is delicious and the croissants are other-worldly. I only wish they would make more of the almond chocolate croissants as they always seem to run out. read more

I met a friend in Carlsbad for a walk and breakfast and our plan was to go to Swami's. Well, Swami's looked boarded up so I consulted the trusty Yelp app and we found this place. Ooh pleasant surprise. I got a Lavendar Latte. It was perfect. Delicious. But not hot enough. I don't know how that happens. I shouldn't be able to start drinking a drink as soon as I get it. I want to savor it hot and taste the difference as it cools down. It was warm and not hot from the minute I got it. My friend got the frittata and said it was yummy but not hot enough. I got the gluten free crepe that would have given this place 5 stars BUT IT WASNT HOT ENOUGH. The gruyere inside wasn't even fully melted. How is this happening!!! But the taste combo was incredible. Salty ham. Creamy gruyere. Tangy pickles. Wrapped in a gluten free crepe. I dream of those flavors. I just wish it was warmer!!! I will go back for sure and ask for everything extra hot! read more

I understand the possible reasoning for not having wifi but it's not a good business decision.

Such a tasty breakfast spot! My husband got the crepe which is amazing! I got the omelette, it was good but I will definitely get the crepe next time since it was more unique! The food came out in adequate time and staff was really nice! It's right on the corner of Beech Ave and Carlsbad Village Dr so it fun people watching spot if you sit outside. Inside is a cute, quaint feel. Their latte was also very good! read more

First time at French Corner. They have a nice open dining area inside and a fair number of tables on the sidewalk (although it is located on a corner on Carlsbad Boulevard, so cars do back up at the light). I had the vegetarian breakfast crepe, which had wonderful pesto, and it was great. The breakfast sandwich was also pretty good. It took a bit of time to get a couple of lattes to our table, but they were excellent. read more

The staff are so incredibly rude. This is my 3rd visit and this will be the final time I try. I really love the tea/gluten free options here but every time I have come, they are rude. I was asking about the tea bag flavors and she refused to show me the flavors and kept rushing me to pick a tea from their jars above. I tried to explain I really love a flavor I had here before that was a tea bag and she just kept saying you pick from the jar when she clearly had the box of tea bags behind the counter. Staff also seemed un clear which pastries are gluten free... Its expensive here and after this visit, I have decided it truly is no longer worth it. Too bad. I really urge management to figure out whats going on with the staff because reviews show I am not the only one! read more

Lovely cafe. Enjoyed a fresh salad for lunch. Quiet with nice ambiance. Reasonable prices.

This place is pricey for small portions. The staff, including the manager is not helpful or friendly. I would pass on this place and look for another cafe, especially for better service. read more

Went in to order and immediately left after asking the young girl a few questions about what was the flavor in some of the pastries. THE WORST ATTITUDE, NO EYE CONTACT, BEYOND RUDE!! She was so irritated that I asked her about the pastries and was huffing and puffing. She should not be working Customer Service. My mother and I left immediately without ordering, we are locals in the area and used to love this place but paying the insane prices to be treated so disrespectfully is a NO for me. Will NOT be coming back and I will tell others not too as well. The owner needs to do a serious look at their employees because they are ruining their business. The only kind person was a man that was sweeping, besides him, both the women are rude as hell. read more

Out of towners went for the first time. Ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches. Both were very good. One sandwich was a little dry. Place is clean. Chairs are a little uncomfortable. No cushioning. Service was good. read more

Very, very disappointing. First clue should have been that nobody in that place understands a word of French. But I digress. Nothing appears to be freshly made. In fact, I doubt they even use fresh eggs, because all the omelettes are pieces cut from a baking dish. The ones displayed in the refrigerator were, ah, let's say, uninviting. They looked more like a leftover from last weekend's brunch that you discover in your fridge 2 or 3 days later. The frittata, normally an easy breakfast meal, was barely warmed up from the nuke. The egg croissant was a bit better, although it appeared also to be made from whole-eggs-in-a-carton. If only it had been served with a better croissant, it could have passed for something edible. Asking for Tabasco proved futile, we were served a dirty bottle of a juice called "Tapatio". Coffee was decent, all things considered. We were not offered a refill. Sordide, pour le moins dire. Quelle horreur. **** Added after seeing owner's reply: Thanks for your reply, Alexandra. Allow me to note: - You did not rebut that your restaurant does not use fresh eggs, or serves previously prepared food warmed up in the nuke. So I guess I was right on target on this. - I did not intend to make personal attacks on your staff, and upon re-reading myself, I am satisfied with my review. I'm sorry if you felt offended. I did however criticize your food ingredients, the preparation, the quality, and the cleanliness of the condiments. You tout on Yelp that " everything is prepared fresh daily. " I am not sure... ******** read more

Super cute little bakery. You go up to the counter and order and then the food is brought to you. They have excellent baked goods, coffee, quiche. We had breakfast croissant sandwiches. You can eat inside or they have tables outside. Very small place not for huge groups read more

Great location and setting... however, not such that it justifies the pricing and poor customer service. There are several other French cafe's in the vicinity. We were at Versailles yesterday and our group of six left very satisfied with the food, the service, and the value. We are not from the area and this post will hopefully help those visiting this beautiful little beach city. read more

Incredible. Amazing. Divine. The French corner makes me want to learn French! The food is just perfection. I've had coffees, sweet and savory crepes and all the pastries and everything is so good that I forget to take a picture most of the time. Get in my belly! Today is had the vegetarian crepe (I'm not a veg person but it sounded good today). The crepe exceeded all my expectations. The avo and tomato in it made it sweet and creamy. My boo had the turkey pesto panini and I taxed a bite which was delish. For dessert we tried the beignet bite (filled with hazelnut spread) and the almond cake (not official name). Both ridiculously amazing. I want to go here every day. They are on door dash with the highest delivery fee I've ever seen but understandable -$7.99. We opt to call in the order and then pick up. (We pick out the pastries when we get there). Service is always very French and authentic. Chef guy is very gracious and thankful to the customers. Cannot be beat! read more

This is a joint review of the Carlsbad Village location and the Encinitas location. The menus appear to be identical -- but the Carlsbad location has extensive indoor seating. The picture I posted is from Carlsbad. It came about that we came to Carlsbad for morning coffees and pastries (croissant, almond croissant, cappuccino, Americano) and were so happy with them we decided to hit the Encinitas location on the way home for lunch after going to The Flower Fields. At Encinitas we had three crepes, a savory one for each of us (Provence, Caprese) and a sweet strawberry one to share. The savories came with a small greens salad. Everything comme il faut. There appears to be a third location out in the desert. read more

Consistent quality with a short wait is a winning combination. My one issue is that they don't do iced coffees well (ice melts and it's watered down coffee) but their hot coffees are delicious though. I like their quiches, crepes and sandwiches. Outdoor seating (most of it is shaded) is ideal for bringing your dog. Street parking is available. read more
