The pancakes themselves aren't very sweet which really balances the sweet toppings on the Crème Brûlée. When I visited, there was no line at 5pm on a Saturday so service was quick and staff let me know the pancakes would take ~15 min which was accurate. The space itself is pretty small so seating options are limited and a bit cramped. The price on the pancakes was a bit steep at 15.99 but would totally get these again because it's such a unique experience!

My friend and I saw this restaurant on TikTok and wanted to check it out. I was a bit underwhelmed…read more I thought my chicken basil pesto crepe was good, but the chicken strips did seem like they were frozen ones from the store and just heated up. In my opinion, strawberry cream soufflé pancake was alright. It wasn't the best soufflé pancake I had, but it was very average. Also, the ube latte tasted a bit artificial. The restaurant had some quirky decorations and aesthetic. I did appreciate how it felt like a "hole in a wall" type of place and our service was quick and fast. I don't know if I'll be back, but I'm glad I did check it out. It's so cool to see places like this pop up in the Twin Cities!

The crepes were perfect and delicious. They have a variety of options from sweet to savory [I tend to like savory more]. The staff were really friendly and accomodating to our diet restraints. I love the ambiance of the cafe; as someone who has been to Paris it gave the appeal that I was there again. The prices are pretty fair especially compared to some other creperie options in town. Parking however can be a challenge; that part of Selby ave is limited for parking due to so much in that area. It would however be a perfect idea to either walk, bike or even catch uber/lyft and venture to some the neat shops in the area.

I love it here. The owners and staff are friendly and attentive. The ambiance is clean,…read morecomfortable, and bolstered by lovely French and jazz music. The savory crepes are light but filling with some traditional offerings and some less, like L'Italien (pizza crépe). The sweets choices are varied and scrumptious. And one of their most unique offerings is the croffle -- a sweet waffle made with crépe batter. Light texture, subtle flavor, and some straightforward toppings and other combinations that are show-stopping.

I had never had a whole wheat croissant before, but the flavor was deep and earthy in a pleasant way. I especially liked the cinnamon roll and the way the sweet frosting contrasted with the hearty dough. They also have a variety of rye bread, which can be difficult to find at most bakeries. The space is bright and inviting, and the staff was friendly and happy to answer questions. I'm a huge fan of their philosophy over and love that they are supporting local, regenerative agriculture through the ingredients they source.

I don't know if they use the same dough for everything, but it sure seems like it. The Bread Bread and the Mueslibrot tasted exactly the same to me. You really have to like sourdough as both have a pronounced tang. The Twice-Baked Croissant was a big disappointment. Heavy, dense, and likely made with the same dough. A croissant in shape only. Very expensive as well.

I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered Café de Paris in Apple Valley. It's surprisingly…read moredifficult to find a truly high-quality bakery around here, and after one too many supermarket "French" baguettes and bake-at-home loaves, this place was exactly what I'd been looking for. The bread is fantastic--crusty, fresh, and authentically French. They also have an incredible selection of beautiful pastries, cakes, and other classic French treats that look like they came straight out of a Parisian pâtisserie. And the coffee is absolutely exquisite. One thing that always makes me smile is that while the pastries look and taste authentically French, they're definitely American-sized! They're enormous. If you're hungry, you're in for a treat. More often than not, I'll enjoy half of one there with a coffee and take the rest home in a box for later. It's a wonderful little café with a relaxed atmosphere and a great place to sit and unwind. If you're in the Apple Valley area and looking for something a little different--something with a genuine European feel--I can't recommend Café de Paris highly enough. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Honestly, I didn't think the place would live up to what I had seen ahead of time. The croissants…read morewere fantastic! I only stopped at the counter, checked out the offerings, and picked up a few things to go. The place was nice and charming but the seating didn't look too comfortable. Listen, it's not about the chairs. This is a gem of a cafe with excellent baked goodies and desserts. Indulge and enjoy!

This place is located in a strip mall with a fair amount of free parking…read more The vibes here are clean, well lit and modern. There is seating inside and two tables outside. We were the only ones there at the time. The staff did not seem to want to be there and after my sister and I ordered, one of the two employees just went on break. So it took a fair amount of time to get our food. Staff wasn't rude but definitely didn't go out of their way to be friendly. The food: The waffle bites, Nutella crepe, and fruit salad were all tasty! Note: the longer you wait to eat, the chocolate solidifies! By the end we were just scraping the chocolate off the plates. The chocolate was very tasty!! The prices are a bit ridiculous in my opinion. It's delicious no doubt. But the service needs an upgrade and the prices need to be dropped a little.

My pregnant wife was craving a crêpe so here we are. The crêpe itself was pretty good. We got the…read moreBueno crêpe, which had Bueno bars on top and inside which I thought was a bit much. It was also smothered in sauce. Lots of sugar, so I'm glad we shared one and so is my wallet. It did come with fruit more than I expected based on the listing on the menu. It was a pretty good size so that was good but I got to say spending $20 on a single crêpe felt way overpriced. I was expecting somewhere in the $12-$13 range. I would definitely say it's overpriced. The interior was pretty nice and clean self service as far as putting away your own tray and garbage which is no big deal. There was a couch seating area, which is pretty nice and then then the other side was more like diner tables so kind of a weird vibe inside. I don't do this often but honestly, I can't say I would recommend this place mostly just because of the price.

I came back the next day and got a banh mi that was HUGE and delicious. The "House" is about ten bucks and that is a great deal for such a large, stuffed sandwich. They cut it in half and you can absolutely consider splitting it with someone or making two meals of it. Tons of Asian flavors on fresh-baked baguette bread. Absolutely outstanding. I brought home some treats from the pastry display, including an above average vanilla eclair and some macarons, one of which is super big! It's like hamburger sized, look at my picture. All of it really good. The service is very pleasant and upbeat, and it's a cute, homey space. I love this bakery!

Service: wonderful. I met the owner and she is SO SWEET…read more Ambiance: spacious and lots of seating Food: okay to pretty good There are so many desserts and pastries here! There are also Banh mis and Vietnamese coffee. I liked the almond croissant and the salted caramel Vietnamese coffee. They had great flavor and tasted fresh. The cream puff was decent and not too heavy, and the strawberry croissant was too sweet and heavy for me. The pandan dessert had really good pandan flavor, but the inside was a little too sweet and rich for me. I split it up into a few dessert meals. The owner was really nice and gave a free French bread, which I also liked. It wasn't too thick and it had a nice crisp to the outside. I would come back to try a couple other desserts and get the almond croissant again!

And as the smell suggests, bread is simply next level, amazing texture and flavor. The other pastries here look good too, but I haven't tried them. But definitely best local bread I've had...

While the food really delivered, the iced latte unfortunately didn't.
