$21 for this "croque madame" in Encinitas...are you kidding me? No prices on the menu (red flag #1), and then this shows up: a single slice of bread, one piece of ham, one egg, and a handful of greens drowning in dressing to make it look like more food than it actually is. This isn't elevated brunch -- it's the bare minimum dressed up as something fancy. No béchamel, no real effort, no substance. Just a glorified open-faced ham & egg toast with a side of overpriced leaves. I don't mind paying for quality, but this felt straight-up deceptive. If you're charging $21, at least make it feel like a full dish -- not something I could throw together at home in 5 minutes. Great location and potential, sure. But value? Not even close. read more

French Corner - $21 "Croque Madam" - Bakeries Near Me - Encinitas, California

Closes at 3pm. Absurd. How do these businesses that close at 2pm and 3pm survive? How do you make your rent? You are on the 101 in Encinitas. Change your hours. This ain't a union shop. Showed up at 3:10. Refused to serve me yet tons of baked goods on full display and staff running around behind the counter. Give me a break. read more

Ate here this morning.. Lovely owner served us.. Huge and amazing menu ... many great spots to eat outside in the 3 different decks.. I think there was indoor seating as well. Had a Breve, Cafe Noir and spit a capris Crepe... Delicious and seems pet friendly. Great find... we'll be back! read more

So many things to choose from on the menu. Wonderful Gluten Free selections and friendly service! We love this Cafe with all its unique delicious and healthy foods! And then there's the amazing coffee selection! We will return here often!!! It was a great experience! read more

The food and bakery goods are fresh and delicious. There is also a nice selection of drinks but I had water. The service is quick and there is a quaint covered patio in the back with tables and chairs. There is also a bar area with bar stools to sit in the front of the store. There is street parking. I went on a Sunday and was able to park at the post office across the street. read more

Cute French café... customer service was really terrible. The woman taking the order super rude. Got a large iced mocha with an extra shot. Came out hot. Ask them for an iced. They just dumped the hot onto the ice so after 30 minutes of waiting, I got a watered down iced coffee for $10. The staff couldn't care less. read more

This has been our favorite treat spot for years and we take all our out of town friends and family here. The almond croissants are incredible (get there early - they run out), the cafe miel and matcha latte are perfection and we love their breakfast vegetarian crepes (even the gluten free one is amazing). Our kids love the fresh made pastries and sitting on the patio. The staff are always so welcoming and they've created a great environment that does feel like it transports you outside of our local town. Couldn't recommend this place enough, we're lucky to have it in our community. read more

Corner bakery with lots of breakfast options and fun espresso options. + Omelette du Parisian ($16): ham, cheese omelette with a balsamic salad and buttered toast. Hefty omelette, panini-pressed toast, fresh greens = solid breakfast. (7.8/10) + Cafe Pistachio ($6): double shot espresso w rose, pistachio and oat milk. Asked for less rose, not overwhelmingly flavored or sweet! (8/10) read more

Pastries were amazing, coffee wouldn't be my next choice if I hangout Encinitas again, there are better coffee next doors. Service was weird, lady with no smile and didn't want explain the name of the white pastry. Nice spot for a short rest. Street parking. read more

Absolutely yummy and delightful. The coffees are unique. The pastries authentic. The pistachio lemon cake to die for.

OMG..... absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! Cute cafe with one of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever tasted (Le Dinde Sandwich) Super friendly staff and the service was amazing, food was served shortly after sitting down. Very relaxing ambience. Can't wait to eat here again. read more

The crapes here melt in your mouth! It's like a little French corner. Great service,and Food! read more

Food was very tasty. Good place to grab something quickly. HOWEVER do not expect a warm and cozy place. Only seating is outside when they decide to open it and the woman who took our order acted like we were a bother. Did not feel welcome here at all and while the food is good, there are plenty of other places to go. There's no WiFi and they ran out of coffee. Again, if it's only food you're looking for to grab and go, you'll be satisfied. Everything else? Not so much. read more

This place fills my heart with joy. Like seriously. One time i went on a hike by Swamis with my mom and I fainted.... after I woke up we went here because that's how much I love this place. The food is always delicious. The crepes are 10/10. I love the Nutella strawberry crepe. The savory ones are also the best read more

Incredibly rich and tasty quiches (artichoke and mushroom & cheese). Delicious lemon cake and zucchini bread. Pleasant covered seating away from the traffic on the Coast Highway. Perfect for lunch. read more

Ok place. No prices on menu, so super confusing knowing what you can afford. The croissants are only average. I don't know who owns this place, but I seriously doubt they are french (or if they are, the head baker may not be). read more

Staff is very friendly, coffee was amazing, croissant sandwich was the best I ever had! Small place with only outside seating but it's very cute and cozy. Baguette breakfast sandwich was okay, doesn't compare to the croissant. Will definitely be coming back! I love small businesses, I was so sad to see this place only had 4 stars, it definitely deserves 5. Hope this review helps! read more

Perfect find while saying in Encinitas. Glad I checked Yelp. Ordered a turkey sandwich on a baguette, with balsamic. It was delicious. Had a matcha latte and 2 pastries. I'll definitely be back. read more

We paid a 10% egg fee on the TOTAL bill. 4% restaurant tax. Let's start with the good stuff first. . The french corner has the most amazing crêpes, and my family enjoyed having breakfast here. Great quality food and really nice staff. Once I got home, I looked at my receipt because I did think it was a bit more expensive than I was expecting. Come to find out , I was very disappointed to see A 10% egg tax on the total bill and a 4% restaurant tax. I have no problem paying extra for Eggs but to charge it on the total and not per meal is unacceptable I was the only person that actually had eggs inside my crêpe and even though crêpes are made using eggs, I find it hard to justify $5.30 worth of eggs went into three crêpes. I should have scrutinized the bill at the restaurant. I also added a two dollar tip for the charming service. We are a family of five and unfortunately will not be coming back. We spent $75 for four people. Just the orange juice was eight dollars because I'm sure it was fresh squeezed but to then make me pay $.80 for eggs on my Orange juice is taking advantage of the customer. It's just plain sneaky , so now five more customers will not be coming here. I would recommend they change their pricing . read more

French Corner - Receipt for breakfast. - Bakeries Near Me - Encinitas, California

The good: tasty food but not sophisticated kind of French. Seating: outside only. The bad: it's expensive, they charge you like ir's a sophisticated place. A cappuccino, a quiche and a madeleine cost me $25. Small portions except coffee. There are cuter places on Cedros avenue where you pay the same amount for a better experience. read more

I was rushing to take some baked goodies to work with me. The girl who helped me was on top of it, making sure I left there in no time. The place is small but quite charming, giving it a very European feel. They have a lot of yummy gluten-free and vegan options, which made it even more appealing. The staff is warm and friendly! read more

My family and I were driving back to Phoenix from LA and looking for French pastry and coffee spot along the way. We choose The French Corner. The best choice ever! The pastries were amazing the coffee was super delicious and the service outstanding.. if you need a French pastry fix I would highly recommend The French Corner! We bought the raising pastry, several chocolate croissants and several almond croissants. When I got in the truck and had a mouthful of the raisin pastry i immediately went back into the store to get another one! Yummo!! We will be back again with out question. read more

Quaint cafe with a variety of breakfast items like pastries, omelets and specialty coffees. Very very pricey. We paid over $100 for 4 breakfasts and 2 coffees. Was still hungry which means small and pretty portions. Omelet comes with salad and crepes come with nothing. Counter seating in front with table seating in back by the alley. Specialty coffee was served in paper cups and could have been alot hotter. The person taking our order seemed annoyed by our questions. No one came by to see how our meal was. read more

Everything I have eaten here has been really good. Crepes, egg dishes, baked goods. Coffee is very smooth and the teas are delicious. Staff is friendly and efficient. All seating is outside with the quiet back patio under cover. Has a European feel and diverse menu. read more

Cozy and Quaint place with very warm and friendly staff. Stopped by for some hot and delicious matcha latte and almond croissant. I took it to go to enjoy in our balcony. 'Worth the visit and would come back. read more

New discovery with a French flavor. My friend Sandra found this coffee shop/corner cafe and the '101 Spaniards' + another French friend went there recently. Pastries and coffee fantastic, but the best was the service. Love the people working there, so cool and friendly. We felt like at home, and of course I took out my cute table cloth to make the situation more 'Frenchie'. I did not know much about this area up of Encinitas and this coffee shop is going to be one of out staples for our girlfriend's outings from now on. read more

Nut allergy alert!!! We asked if the dessert we were getting had nuts due to the kid having a nut allergy. The lady said "NO." So we purchased it... Luckily, we checked before giving it to the kid. It had nuts! I went back in & nicely told the lady for future reference if someone asked, the dessert does have nuts & if we didn't check, there would be an ambulance out there already. She didn't care & brushed it off. Also, Forget the 2 lattes we ordered at $7 each-- which were incredibly underwhelming. To start, Perhaps she can tamp it properly & not in the air w/ the pinky out? We used to love this place but things have changed. read more

SO CUTE! I came here randomly and the place is adorable. There is no seating inside but there's plenty of seating and patio space! I brought my pup and we sat on the side balcony. I ordered the madeline and canele, both were pretty good, not amazing but good. The madeline was as good as most places. The canele was adorable, heart-shaped!! The flavor was good, but it was soggy. However I LOVED the Le Noir coffee. I had it hot and it was soooooo good on a chilly day. I really enjoyed this place and want to try all their other options. I highly recommend coming here for a visit! read more

It was a bit smaller than I was expecting but the employees were very nice and explained the menu well! Not too great of a view but they had difference areas to sit which was great! I got the Nutella strawberry crepe and it was good, not the best I've had but I enjoyed it. read more

The cakes/pastries were always been top-notch here but the vibe/service from the ladies behind the counter was abrupt and abrasive: just a totally unwarranted and unsolicited ' and what do you want?' kind of attitude to myself and others who came in behind me. Maybe one person having a bad day but both? Super weird for a chill spot like Leucadia definitley won't be back. read more

Well, having traveled a lot, I was disappointed by the food, the coffee, and the staff. They were dismissive and acted like I didn't know what I was asking. My date and I threw away the food and the coffee was weak. I didn't drink it. I won't go back. The building is cute though and right on the strip so it's a nice location. read more

My friend lives nearby and recommended this place to our group who was in town visiting! We came on Saturday morning and they were pretty busy. The inside is very small, it is standing room only and has just enough space for you to order then go back outside. They do have lots of patio seating though! I was impressed at how big their menu is, they have a lot of options to choose from and several delicious looking pastries on display. I think everyone in my group went for a sweet crepe and a coffee! I got the nutella crepe with strawberries and the lavender latte. The latte was really good, I could taste the lavender flavor but it was not too overpowering. I got a 12oz but it seemed like the whipped cream took up more space in the cup than I would've liked, so it felt like much smaller than 12oz of coffee. The crepe was delicious! The batter was thin enough but not too thin. They used the right amount of nutella for the filling and I really liked how it tasted paired with strawberries and whipped cream on top. We had a good experience here and I wish I lived closer so I could come back to try more of their expansive menu options! read more

I do not know how they put such great flavor in such a small location! It is amazing. We had the mini cream puffs, ham & cheese sandwich and Caprese sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. The side salad had the perfect mustard dressing. The cream puff filling was light, sweet but not overly, and the pastry melts in your mouth. We will be back!! read more

We came here on a Wednesday morning for brunch. We had done takeout here before but thought we would try dine-in this time. There was plenty of seating outside and around the cafe. I ordered a Le Lavender drink and a chicken crepe which had the cheese and chicken take up the majority of the crepe and pesto on the outer edge. I felt that the pesto would have added more to the dish if it was evenly distributed. My husband ordered a ham omelette (he told me it tasted dry) and a coffee. (I can't recall the names from the menu). The coffee drinks we ordered was great. Adorable spot to hangout and have coffee and/or brunch. read more

Wow! And another Wow! So impressed with my experience at this little place. It was heavenly; because of the food, the service, the sitting but mostly because of the ambience, French music. C'était très bon. We visited both locations and received great service in both locations. Parking is good for both locations too. Canele's are hard to find so I was more than thrilled to find it here. So scrumptious!!! Next time I'm there, I'll be placing an order of this precious little taste of heaven. Give this place a try, I hope you will love it as much as we did. French Corner has an ap & you can order online but you're going to miss out on the experience with the French music adding a special touch. read more
