    Cappuccino
    Alisa P.

    I was excited to try this pastry place since I saw it in a couple "Bay Area Best" lists. And even though the appearance was very promising I found the pastries pretty mediocre compared to the same price ones in SF. The passion fruit tart appeared to be on a simple side, being just sweet and lacking juiciness/creaminess/crunchiness which you expect from a tart. The almond croissant was totally lacking the lamination; the texture was thick and doughy instead of airy and flaky. It was disappointingly bland (couldn't taste the almond filling at all) and far too heavy + overly sweet. The last thing that was really disappointing- the waiting time for the avocado sandwich. It was like 20+ minutes while the place wasn't even packed. I loved the interior, cute tea cups and workers being welcoming, but its definitely not enough to come here again

    The sweetest way to celebrate the holidays. Seasonal tarts and pastries by mademoiselle colette are everything we love about fall, buttery with the right amount of indulgent. Seasonal treats you need to try - Pecan Tart - My fav! Maple syrup whipped ganache, vanilla caramel & toasted pecans for the perfect nuttiness Apple Tart - layers of croissant dough, Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, vanilla & almond cream Pumpkin Tart - It's the perfect fall treat. I love the spiced pumpkin cream contrasted with the caramel in a decadent bite Pastries like Croissant & Kouign Amann - golden and flaky, made with 100% Isigny Butter imported from France. You can taste the quality and crisp, seriously any pastry is amazing. These treats taste like a little moment of joy, which are ideal for gifting, gatherings or your morning coffee ritual.

    I'm usually really picky with my coffee and Mademoiselle Colette coffee is really good . Really cute coffee shop . It wasn't too busy and the service was fast .

    Can't emphasize how much I love this spot--the food, the outdoor seating truly embracing the Cali sunshine and the downtown Menlo Park tranquil vibe! The pasties, desserts and light meals are all my go-tos!

    Have been wanting to visit this place for a while! Came on a weekend after lunch time and there was a small line out the door waiting to order. Got a kouign amann ($5.80) and a passion fruit exotic tart ($10.50) for to-go. They had many desserts and made me want to try all of them. You can't go wrong with their kouign amann and also I just really like it in general for the caramelized, crispy exterior and the buttery exterior. The passion fruit dessert was light, but has a sharp tangy flavor to it, so I could only eat like 1/4 at a time even though it wasn't big at all (maybe would've paired well with a black/green tea or smth). Would return to try their other food and their drinks!

    My 3 pals and I arrived at 2:30 on a Sunday and their kitchen just closed, no hot chocolate and only coffee or the bakery items in sight. I asked if they had lemon and honey for a hot tea and they said yes, but I only got sliced limes. The kouign amann, croissant and chocolate croissant were good. Iced tea wasn't strong enough and flat white was ok. I normally like coming by here when I'm in the area but it's good to know the kitchen closes early. I always like the option of hot food or heated pastries.

    Hazelnut Cake - sooo good  Apple turnovers in the back - didn't care for it

    Never had a croissant this bad from a French bakery. This is what I would expect if I buy a big pack from Safeway or Costco... I took a bite & throw it away. It was buttery but no crunch, not flakey and the flavor wasn't even good. Service was good, the person getting our order was nice.

    Mademoiselle Colette in Menlo Park is my go-to café and I live in Palo Alto! I found it a few months ago thanks to my best friend, and now we're here 2-3 times a week. The pastries are always fresh and delicious (my favorite pastries are their apple turnover and their seasonal pumpkin travel cake) and , the coffee is top tier, but the staff truly make this place special. Ricardo's customer service is amazing. He's warm, kind, and always makes you feel welcomed. Victoria made the cutest initials on our coffees recently, and it genuinely made our day. Enrique and the rest of the team are also just as awesome. If you haven't been yet, this is your sign to treat yourself (or someone you love) to the best coffee and pastries in town.

    Citrus roll. They have beautiful viennoiserie here!

    We are so fortunate to have Mme Colette here in Menlo Park. The pastries here are absolutely delightful, whether it's their lovely morning Viennoiserie or their decadent desserts, they're all winners. I'm classically trained in pastry techniques and I appreciate their attention to detail and balanced flavors and textures. Just superb. The shop itself is also light and attractive, and their outdoor dining options are super helpful. First rate experience here. Highly recommended!

    French toast.  Not bad!!
    Brian K.

    Cute spot in downtown Menlo Park with a nice selection of French pastries and traditional breakfast items. Order at the counter, take a number and try to find a seat. They'll (eventually) deliver to the table. For us, it took about 25 min. Tried a croque madame and french toast. Dishes were very well executed and optically pleasing. I thought the French toast portion was on the smaller side, so if you have a big appetite, you may not get filled up. But the dish was flavorful with fresh fruit, whipped cream and maple syrup (on the side). The madame definitely hit the spot and is reminiscent of ones I've tried in Paris. And, the side salad had a nice dressing that counter balanced the dish.

    Is there any chance you would consider offering a Mont Blanc this autumn? Patisserie Norina in San Francisco has been providing these to the entire Bay Area for the last few years, and they've just announced that they're closing. We're bereft!

    I'm sorry but I am not the owner and do not work there. I'm just a fan of their pastries.

    Hi Shakila, We have a cookie and a passion fruit macaron cake available.

    What is in the kid's brunch? Is the regular lunch menu also served alongside the brunch menu?

They were well spiced and the potatoes were perfectly soft. * Biscoff lotus pancakes - these were absolutely divine. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy and came in a stack of 4. They were huge with fresh whipped cream and a biscoff sauce. There was also maple syrup. The combo was out of the world and would definitely recommend one to get this when visiting!

The food was very good to say the least, this amount of food was perfect for us. Though not too much of an issue (if this is the case) but the pancakes to me taste very very very similar to pancakes made with the Krusteaz brand pancake mix, I only say this because I had pancakes that used that specific brand's mix not too long before eating here. Regardless, the food was very delicious. For me and my girlfriend, the drinks were OKAY at best. To me, the coffee didn't have much "churro" taste in there besides the little churro treat that was added in the drink as a topping. The 5 minutes of Heaven shake threw us off a little because we weren't expecting the drink to be almost room temperature, we would have liked it to be cold like how our coffee was! Overall not too bad of a visit, definitely would come back if I'm ever in the Palo Alto area again.

The ambiance, decor, and overall atmosphere were definitely the highlight of our experience--it's a very lovely place with a sophisticated and inviting feel. We visited to celebrate my birthday, and while our server was friendly, I felt the service lacked attentiveness throughout our visit. When we were seated, we were asked again what the occasion was, so we were expecting perhaps a small birthday gesture or acknowledgment. Unfortunately, nothing was done for my birthday, while we noticed the table next to us received a nice birthday gesture. It was a little disappointing, especially since the occasion had been specifically mentioned. As for the food, there were definitely some hits and misses. My mom ordered the chicken sandwich, but the bread was extremely over-toasted. When I took a bite, it was so hard and sharp that it actually cut my gums, which was definitely not something we expected. On the positive side, the salmon and truffle fries were delicious and probably the best part of our meal. However, while they were good, I wouldn't say the food overall was quite at a 5-star level. Overall, I think this restaurant has a lot of potential. The setting is gorgeous and the ambiance is beautiful, and our server was kind, but the lack of attentiveness and some issues with the food made the experience feel more like a 3-star visit for us. I would consider coming back, but I would hope for a more attentive experience and better attention to the small details next time.
