I thought that was a really good deal. There is a large parking lot behind the restaurant. You have to walk down either a few stairs or a ramp to get to the front door.

Extremely disappointed. I posted the above earlier at 3-stars, but I was too hasty posting before getting our food, expecting that even though the menu changed, the quality wouldn't. Sadly the bagel sandwiches aren't nearly stuffed to what they used to be and even the orange juice had extra pulp. My biggest complaint is still that there were no indicators in the store until we were trying to order. It is so frustrating to try to pivot when we're standing in front of the cashier with drinks in hand just trying to be on our way.

There isn't any dedicated parking for the cafe, but we were able to find street parking around the block. Once you enter inside the building and cafe, it is surprisingly spacious. There isn't that much seating available though. On a nice day, there is outdoor seating available. I ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee and a Mint Mojito Iced Coffee. These were drinks very basic. Nothing extravagant about them, especially the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The Mint Mojito Iced Coffee was a tad bit better and you could taste the mint in it. If I were to return, I definitely would try other drinks or even their food items here. The customer service here was okay. Not very interactive. There wasn't any issues, but it was a bit awkward for whatever reason.

I loved how many fresh veg and garnishes were part of the dish (unusual for this dish in my experience). However, more mashed potatoes than stew. The chocolate dessert had 3 different textures and a lovely rich flavor. The dinner menu is very small. A couple of starters. Two salads but only one available. Four entrées but only 2 available. I wasnt a fan of the lemon tart. Too much crust and not enough lemon filling. The chairs are very uncomfortable and cold, especially with the cold breeze blowing through from the propped open front door.

Chef is gone and now the range of food and wine is drastically diminished. I'd advise on the quality of what remains but we literally got up and left due to the repugnant attitude of the waiter, who identified himself as the manager and was all too happy to see us leave after some unpleasantries were exchanged. I think this restaurant's days remaining in business can be measured in days or weeks, not months. It's sad because the owner obviously put some real creativity and money into the design of the wine bar side of the establishment, but as many restaurateurs have learned the hard way, the nature of the personnel can make or break a business, and this place has gone from one extreme to the other in that regard. I predict this particular manager will put the last nail in the coffin of L'Experience Paris with total certainty.

I street parked on the west side of the building, requiring a slight climb up the hill back to my car. It was free though, so no complaints! I would return to "work from home" or if I was in the area and looking for a cute bite. In total I paid $36, not including tip.

The bagels were delicious and toasted perfectly. It came with whipped butter and raspberry jam on the side. The pastrami omelet was very large and came with a generous serving of potatoes. ALso tried the pastrami and corned beef breakfast bagel, which was packed with almost like an omelet tucked inside a bagel. Also got a side of hand made chicken sausage which was okay. Tasted healthy. The one disappointment was the vanilla latte. It tasted more like it came from an automated coffee machine than a traditional espresso machine and lacked the flavor and quality I was expecting. Most things are self-serve here, including finding your own seating, grabbing silverware, getting water, and pouring drip coffee. As we were leaving, a live musician was getting set up to play, Which added a really welcoming atmosphere. The inside is nicely decorated and family friendly, with lots of children's books around to help keep little ones entertained. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but the portions are large. Food tastes good, large portions, cozy atmosphere, and live music, I'd come back again though I'd probably skip the latte next time.

I seriously think this is a borderlin scam. Restaurants, please stop! Just raise the menu prices, instead. I kept my original rating because (again) the food and service were great today. Brewed coffee they serve was excellent as well - from Fonté. This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing restaurants in the greater Seattle in terms of interior decor. Pairing that with great service, it makes it a good safe spot for business outings/treating important guests.

I got two pastries to go, the raspberry slice and spanakopita. I wished I had asked for the spanakopita to be warmed, but it was otherwise a really good pastry! I've never had spanakopita before, but I loved the salty, herbal flavor, and it didn't taste too heavy. The raspberry bar, however, was disappointing. It tasted more like a sugary shortbread with a hint of raspberry. The icing topping is thicker than the raspberry jam itself! I love sweets, but for the price and experience I would not get this one again. Overall, the cafe has a great ambiance, and a large selection of foods and drinks. It's a little pricey, but given the great spanakopita, I can see myself coming back once in a while to try more food and work!
