I really enjoy the food at this place, everything I've tried has been delicious. The coffee is amazing, and the desserts are great too, although I wish they had a bigger selection of sweets. The service could be a little better. The staff is always very friendly, but I usually have to ask several times for a water refill. That said, the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, which makes it a nice place to come back to. ------------------- Me gusta mucho la comida de este lugar, todo lo que he probado ha sido muy rico. Los cafés son deliciosos y los postres también, aunque me gustaría que tuvieran más opciones de dulces. El servicio podría mejorar un poco. El personal siempre es muy amable, pero casi siempre tengo que pedir varias veces que me rellenen el vaso de agua. Aun así, el ambiente es muy acogedor y cálido, lo que hace que siempre sea agradable regresar. read more

I got a mocha, the espresso was weak. But I did have a really good ham and cheese croissant as well as some sort of Nutella pastry. Service was fast and friendly. I appreciate the women holding it down! Such a nice cafe, very busy. The prices were decent and portions were big. read more

I love bread and pastries and was so happy when I found this shop. Very nice location with table service. We went early on a Saturday it was not busy at all. We took home a croissant bread that was still warm and it was delicious. We also got a regular bread, it was good, fresh but it was not sliced very well and had a lot of holes inside. The croissant was very good and the apple tart was delicious! What we did not like was the service. The cashier seemed unhappy to be there, we asked her questions and never got answers, started talking to someone else while helping us. I will visit again given the bread and pastries were worth it. read more

Wow! Me encantan los postres aquí. The classic hot latte and chocolate/caramel pastry are a powerful combination. If you like rich, bold flavors, this cafe is perfect! The pastry had the perfect mix of smooth mousse and chocolate, with a caramel/nut center. The outside had delightful crunches of quinoa-like sprinkle clusters the size of nerds. This spot is very popular in the mornings. Small groups of four can sit inside or outside at patio seating. The staff are kind, yet efficient. No necesitas hablar inglés. read more

Disappointing Thursday visit: The Opera cake was very dry, even being wrapped in plastic on the sides, felt like this was so stale it shouldn't have been sold The caramel mousse was ok, nothing outstanding in flavor, pretty presentation The profiterole was ok, smooth dark chocolate, choux pastry was good but you felt the salt, standard cream filling and the base was stale, no flakiness or crunch to it The plain croissant had a pretty color and shape to it, the first bite was nice, flaky and buttery in taste but the center was hollow, several layers stuck together, making a heavy almost gummy feel For the price paid very dissatisfied with the quality and freshness. read more

Great service, pleasant ambiance, and delicious coffee & croissants! Somehow we've not noticed this little French bakery tucked into a strip mall off 36st for the five years it's been here... but suddenly we noticed it, and stopped in for a Saturday morning bite. We both had toasted croissants, deliciously combined with ham, Gratinated Cheese, Béchamel. We also had double cortados using Julius Meinl coffee. A perfect Saturday morning treat! read more

I stopped by for weekend brunch and was not disappointed. The eggs Benedict croissant was delicious - perfectly jammy/ runny eggs and creamy hollandaise. The croissant was also buttery/ flaky. The coffee and pastries were also great. The restaurant is a small space, but doesn't feel crowded. It was pretty busy, but the staff is super friendly. Service was quick. Location wise, I wouldn't have expected to find a bakery like this in the plaza, but it seems very popular. There was a line out the door when I left. read more

Amazing place! 5 stars - Solid Spot Stopped by this bakery on a whim, and I'm glad I did. Place has a chill, cozy vibe--nothing too fancy, just warm, some smooth music playing in the background, but not too noisy! Tried a few things and everything was amazing. The croissants were buttery and crisp, "la bomba" I had hit the spot, and the coffee was strong enough to wake the dead. You can tell they actually care about the food here--nothing half-assed. The service is also incredible too ! Whether you're grabbing something to go or kicking back for a bit, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back for sure! read more

I recently visited La Croquantine and tried a few of their pastries along with a coffee. I tried the pistachio-filled croissant because I'm a huge pistachio lover. While I appreciated the effort and flavor, it ended up being a bit too intense for my taste--the pistachio filling was a little overwhelming and overshadowed the delicate pastry itself. It might be perfect for someone who likes strong flavors, but it was a bit too much for me. As for the coffee, it was just okay. Not bad, but nothing particularly memorable either--it did the job but didn't stand out like the pastries did. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the croissants, and maybe try some of the other flavors next time. A cozy little spot with some hits and a few misses depending on your personal taste! read more

A quaint cafe located within the mini mall you'll be pleasantly surprised for a good bite and coffee. Upon arrival we were greeted by the baked goods that are on display and tempting to order. If you're dining in, feel free to go grab a seat and the wait staff will attend to you. We came for breakfast and ordered the La Croquantine omelette and Steak & Eggs. I opted for the salad rather than the French fries that come with the steak and eggs which was very good. The steak was a ribeye cooked medium which held good flavor. I recommend ordering a croissant, it was very good and soft. Baked to perfection. The ambiance was typical of a French influenced cafe located in the Doral area. Felt comfortable and gave the impression of a bakery/cafe but nothing to brag about. The service was great. The wait staff was very attentive and continued to check in frequently. Although it seemed to be a team approach as there were multiple waitresses attending multiple tables. There were moments of not sure who was responsible for our table but overall the staff was great and friendly. A surprise stop here at La Croquantine for what was a very good experience and the food was well made. Overall 4 stars read more

Nice little French cafe. The baked goods are superb. Our visit for breakfast was delightful The breakfast we ordered, which included eggs, bacon, and a croissant was not the best. We found the entire dish for $18 overpriced. The prosciutto tomato mozzarella sandwich was great in flavor and very fulfilling. Overall the service was great. Perhaps something to check out if in the area. read more

Quite a nice spot for enjoying a little trip for France. The croissants and desserts in the case look nice enough to be in a fancy French bakery in Coral Gables, not some random plaza in Doral. They taste pretty good too. I got the pistachio croissant and it's literally filled with pistachio cream. Quite a few other flavors to choose from too! We also picked up a few bread to go and enjoyed them as well. read more

This place while looks and seems amazing, underwhelms immensely. I went with my mother and grandmother to this place. I saw it was a croissant place and was interested. My mother speaks fluent French and is Moroccan for context and has been to France many times. She knows French cuisine. I, on the other hand, know a few French words and never have been to France. I've been to a few good French Bakeries and Cafes throughout the years but they are not easy to come by. So that brings me back to this place. We came to grab dessert, pastries, etc. I was immediately impressed by the cakes and pastries they had and the croissants. The selection was good and they had a strawberry tart. However, the service was interesting. We told them we wanted to order and they told us "okay here or to go?" We said here and they told us to choose a spot. We sat down and promptly given menus. I was confused because we wanted pastries and didn't know they served food. It was a nice misunderstanding because we got to experience everything they have. I was originally going to get an AvoCAT toast but switched to an egg Benedict. My mom got a quiche. My grandmother also got the same thing as me. Sadly, I have nothing good to say about my food. The quiche was delicious even though it looked a bit unappetizing. It was delicious but heavy with butter. My egg Benedict was sweet. Like they used sugar instead of salt and then I got a piece of sugar in my mouth and I was proven correct. The hollandaise sauce was not only sweet but bland as well. The egg was interesting as it wasn't traditionally poached by soft-boiled. The yolk did save my dish a bit but overall it was sweet and that turned my appetite off. The side of fries were great because that was what I mainly ate. The pastries were completely different from the food. If you think it looks good, it probably is as a pastry. The strawberry tart was great but in honor of full transparency, I found mold in two of my strawberries and went back to return it (obviously), I was expecting a whole pizza press situation (iykyk but if you don't, my last review explains it all). Instead, they were quick to resolve the issue and I was left with new tarts that were even better than the first one I had. This place is pricey in my opinion. It was 8 dollars per pastry pretty much so with tax it hurt my wallet. It was 17.50+ for a tart and chocolate eclair. The croissants were good and fluffy and honestly despite that issue, I will be back for more pastries tomorrow. My overall opinion is it's a decent place but do not get the egg Benedict as it is not good. However the pastries are not to be missed! It's a cute and small place to be in and even the outdoor setting is nice. I really will I could rate it higher but for my breakfast choice, it really underwhelms as a breakfast spot. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning with a friend for breakfast. You can order at the counter to go, otherwise you can seat yourself at a table. Ended up ordering the croque madame, plain croissant, and exotic cake: Croque Madame - it was a great classic. The egg was cooked just right where liquid yolk oozed out when you cut into it. The bechamel/cheese were good, I only wish there was more of it topping the sandwich. Served on a bed of crunchy greens to make you feel slightly more healthy. Croissant - you know they're good when they make a good plain croissant without all the fancy fillings. It was warm, flaky, buttery goodness. I appreciate that they warmed it up before serving it. Exotic cake - the server described this as one of her favorites with a sweet white chocolate yogurt mouse outer coating, with the inside being a mixture of sweet and tart fruits (banana, mango, passion fruit), on top of a coconut biscuit. Definitely a great light and balanced sweet treat. Parking was easy to find--the spaces are quite tightly spaced if you park right outside, but there are plenty of other spaces deeper into the strip mall. Also my friend has a nut allergy, we mentioned it to the server, and he had no issues with the food. Prices weren't outrageous, service was good, and great for a no-frills French cafe meal. Overall would definitely come again. read more

Tucked in the front end of a strip mall behind a gas station. This place is very homey and the atmosphere is pleasant and friendly. You are greeted with the French pastry display that gets your mouth watering and ready for ordering from the menu. You may first come for a quick treat and a cup of coffee but you would not be blamed should you decide to take a seat and order from the menu. The coffee was more on the dark roast side. The pastries were delicious but on the too sugary side. There are very good savory choices that dominate the menu so you are safe for breakfast and lunch. read more

The food was overpriced for what we got--small portions and mediocre flavor. I wasn't impressed. I've been visiting Miami for years and have had the privilege of dining at many restaurants. The crepe was tiny, and part of my husband's meal was forgotten. We paid $70 for three meals, 2 coffees, and an $8 freshly squeezed orange juice, but I've had much better food at a lower price at local Cuban bakeries. I didn't try their pastries, so maybe that's where the real hype comes from. read more

The ambiance was cool and relaxing with plenty of parking in front. Being a French bakery, it tickled my fancy and thought of the rich croissant I ate in France. Unfortunately, my pistachio croissant was stale and for me, not buttery enough. Service was ok and not very attentive as I did ask questions and felt like they didn't want to answer. read more

Solid brunch place with a huge variety of bakery items. I really like their almond croissant and their scramble eggs are just the way I like them.

I stopped in for lunch at this casual bakery/restaurant, having just pumped gas at the Shell station right next to it, and it looked inviting. I ordered the Croque Monsieur. Big mistake! A Croque Monsieur is basically a ham & cheese sandwich with bechamel sauce. The bread is often dipped in egg similar to French toast, and it can be fried, grilled, or baked. Here the bread was neither fried, grilled, baked, nor toasted for that matter- just plain white bread. The sandwich appeared to have been placed under a broiler for a minute, AFTER the cheese/bechamel sauce was put on top, just to slightly brown the bechamel. To add insult to injury, this plain ham and cheese sandwich on white bread cost $14 with NO fries or any other side. A side of fries cost an extra $7 and the side salad $5. The sides were better than the sandwich. So with a drink, tax, and tip, my simple lunch cost me $38. If you go, I recommend that you order one of their baguette sandwiches instead, they looked much better. read more

Excellent quality European Pastries. I love having this place in Doral. The croissants are delicious and very fresh. We ordered a box with Almond croissants, pistachio croissants, regular croissants , and cinnamon raisin rolls. Everything was delicious. The Pistachio croissants were my favorite. The cinnamon raisin rolls have a subtle custard filling that makes them even more decadent. I will go return here for sure read more

I would avoid ordering any food with cream cheese, to avoid plastic in your food. We ordered a dish with cream cheese and a piece of plastic was in it that my husband almost ate accidentally. We alerted the staff and they were kind enough to offer us a free pastry and apologize. However, we still had to pay for the dish with the plastic in it. The experience overall was very off putting, hopefully this restaurant puts better care into their food preparation. read more

Formerly home to Pastamore and several other businesses, this location has turned into La Croquantine de matthieu, a French-inspired bakery that is visible from 36th Street when entering Doral. A very clean and spacious venue, they can accommodate large groups. During our visit, a whole group of 24 patrons had arrived well before we did and were already being served. Despite this, the wait time for our food was reasonable. And there were at least three other groups dining here already. Despite all of the activity, service was attentive and more prompt than expected. We started off with their very affordable coffee called Julius Meinl priced at just $1.80/cup plus free refills. During our wait, they offered us a basket of toast w/butter. It was delish and I ate the whole thing. La Croquantine Omelette $13.95 - served very hot, fluffy, and so flavorful along with a light side salad. This was the priciest breakfast item on the menu and it was well worth it. Eggs Benedicte $10.95 - Ham and egg on toasted brioche. Tasted like quality eggs that had a hint of natural, mild, sweetness. Very tasty and fresh. The side potatoes were flavored with olive oil. From the bakery, we shared a Choco Chip Guava and Cheese Croissant. Tasted very good, but would've preferred the croissant to be more flaky. Overall, we had a great experience at La Croquantine and it's very affordable. Thanks to La Croquantine and a certain other business, brunching in Doral has just gotten better. We no longer have to venture far out for a great breakfast/brunch. read more

This would be the 4th time we've been here. And now the last. Each time we've come it's been very hit or miss. The food isn't anything that blows you away, but the few pastries they have are decent enough that we've been back. Each time the service isn't great. Today no different. Walked in and was told to sit anywhere. Then were asked to move to a smaller table, even though the one we were at was never used the entire time we were here. Which was an hour. Took our order and didn't bring my father's croissant which is all he ordered. Couldn't get it for him during the meal cause our waitress took the order, someone else brought it, and we never heard from anyone again until almost an hour later. Then I had to correct the fact that they still charged us for the croissant we never got. The place itself is breaking down. But enough with seating outside. read more

Just passing through for the night and stayed at a hotel near by. With limited breakfast options in walking distance we were thrilled to stumble into this gem. We dined in for a quick meal and were pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely delicious, the latte's were quite yummy, service was pretty quick and despite being busy the servers did a good job staying pleasant and being responsive. On top of all that, this was the cheapest overall meal we're have on our trip so far. We were lucky to find such good food at such reasonable prices. If we were staying any longer we'd definitely go back! read more
