First of all, the shop is super cute, aesthetic, clean, loved all the bright windows, great location, and lots of pink which is my fav! I was immediately greeted while walking in and the girl behind the counter was super friendly!! She had amazing customer service and was extremely kind and bubbly!! Honestly the best customer service I've experienced in a while!! After ordering I found a table and the chairs are very comfortable!! The drinks were brought over to us and the cups are adorable! They even had pink heart shaped straws! Loved all the details!! My son chugged his chocolate milk so I know he enjoyed it lol! The cookie butter was delicious and I especially liked the whipped topping! The latte was very well balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet, it was perfect. Can't wait to come back!

Cute French themed bakery located in Scottsdale with a lot of food options. The service was…read morephenomenal and the cashier had a distinct french accent. There are tables inside the restaurant and outside of the restaurant. While it was hot outside (in the 90s) the shade and wind made it extremely comfortable to sit outside. The bakery itself was extremely cute and new bakery items were consistently being brought out and restocked. I came with my (extremely picky) mom and she really enjoyed Paris Rendez-Vous. We both got the Ham and Cheese Croissant to stay, it had bechemal sauce inside of the sandwhich adding a nice creaminess. The to stay dish does cost a few dollars more than the to go dish. This is because you are served and also it comes with a light salad with Italian dressing. The salad was a nice addition to the sandwhich, it added the perfect amount of freshness. My mom got an apricot cheese danish to go, and she wishes she would have grabbed 3 more, she is insistent that they are the best vanishes that she has ever had in Arizona...so I would recommend checking that out. Overall it was a nice and quiet brunch spot, that I would definitely classify as a hidden gem in Scottsdale. I recommend checking it out.

She made us feel welcome and answered our questions. They offer a good variety of macarons, and they also have a few drinks, cupcakes, and some sugar cookies. The macarons are absolutely delicious and they're a good size. I also love the aesthetics of this place. Compared to the 1st shop I tried, the ones from here are bigger! It's a cute little shop in downtown/Old Town Scottsdale, but you can barely see it off the street. Once you find it, it's very quaint and cute with a few seats and a nice photo opp on the wall. I got The Ruze drink, and it was pretty good. The sweetness level was on par, and the cotton candy topping on the cup was a nice touch! I would highly recommend Růže Cake House if you're in the area and on the hunt for a good macaron or two! I will definitely return sooner or later! ;)

This is my 3rd time going, and it's better every time, definitely the best bakery in AZ. I know…read morethey get a lot of heat about the price of each of the pastries but it's worth every penny. I love how they collaborate with local businesses and bring unique flavors to their pastries. I normally get their weekend specials which change every weekend. My favorite so far has been this past week which was the guava cheesecake cruffin. As someone with Cuban parents who lived in Miami for years, this tasted like home in the best way. I'm sad it's only a one-time deal; otherwise, I'd be there every weekend to get one, and I'd be as big as a house haha. I simply can't say enough good things about this place, my only complaint was that the first time I went they put my cruffin (not in photo) in a paper bag so all the filling ran out on the paper bag so super messy and it was so hard to eat, I would assume they ran out of boxes that day but they should have mentioned that before I got one otherwise I would have eaten it there. Other than that service was great and super friendly The parking lot is small for the shopping center depending on the time of day you go so you just need to circle for a spot.

I was looking forward to trying this newer location because I really liked the original Scottsdale…read morelocation, but unfortunately, my experience here was completely different. This location is much smaller and has far fewer options. The Scottsdale location has an authentic French bakery feel, while this Downtown Phoenix location felt more hipster and lacked the same charm. More importantly, nearly every interaction with the staff made me feel like I was inconveniencing them simply by ordering. The employee who initially helped me looked irritated throughout our interaction. When she couldn't hear me, she sharply said that she "can't hear" me and repeatedly gave me odd, unpleasant looks as though I were saying something unreasonable. I ordered a quiche and flatbread to eat there, along with several pastries to take home. At the Scottsdale location, my pastries had been placed together in one box, so I asked for the same. She appeared annoyed and instead put each item into an individual box, with the croissants in a paper bag. It wasn't what I wanted, but by then I already felt like such a nuisance that I didn't correct her. When I asked for a larger bag to carry everything, she returned with two different sizes and asked which I wanted. I said both, and she again looked irritated by my answer. The cashier was pleasant, but one of our three drinks was made hot even though I clearly ordered them iced. Once again, I felt too uncomfortable to ask for them to be remade. Since the decaf tea was for my three-year-old, I did ask another employee for a cup of ice, and even that simple request seemed to irritate her. As we were leaving, several employees were behind the counter, and I heard one tell the others something like, "Go do something. Clean something. Look busy." The staff generally seemed miserable to be there, and customers could feel that atmosphere. The food didn't make up for the experience. The quiche was good, and the flatbread was decent but nothing special. Both éclairs tasted off, although the coffee one was slightly better than the chocolate. My daughter enjoyed her chocolate croissant, and the chocolate-pistachio croissant was good but overly sweet. The macarons were okay but nothing special. I spent $86 on three drinks, a quiche, a flatbread, two éclairs, two croissants, and three macarons, and I didn't leave satisfied with either the food or the experience. JL Patisserie has an excellent reputation, and the original Scottsdale location lived up to it. This one did not. Between the limited selection, overly hipster atmosphere, inconsistent food, incorrect drinks, and staff who made ordinary requests feel like a burden, I left uncomfortable and disappointed. I can't imagine Jenna would be happy to have her name associated with this kind of experience. I can't wait to return to the original Scottsdale location.

We ordered: One steak pho One chicken pho One order of egg rolls One order of spring rolls One order of pork fried rice One Thai tea Everything was served at a timely manner. The spring rolls were delicious, fresh, and the peanut sauce on the side gave it a good touch. The egg rolls were hot and crispy. The pork fried rice was flavorful and more then enough for us three to share. The pho's were both really good. The broth was served hot, had really good flavor, and was served with a lot of noodles and meat. Service was good. They had people going around picking up plates as we were done with hem.

Tried Merci French Café & Patisserie on Indian School Rd, and it's one of those places that makes…read moreyou feel like you should be wearing sunglasses and pretending you're "just popping in for a little pastry." (I did not. I ordered a full breakfast and a waffle like an adult with priorities.) I went around 9:15am on a Wednesday--only a few tables were occupied, and the staff was super friendly, gave great recommendations, and the food came out fast. Inside is dialed in with chandeliers, French-y posters and photos everywhere, and a pastry case with tarts, pastries, and cheesecake that basically dares you to behave. The croissant was the star... fresh, flaky, light, buttery... exactly what you want. The egg was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted into it almost like a mini omelette (loved that). My only hiccup was the "bacon." It leaned more limp pork belly than crispy bacon and had a distinct smoke flavor that wasn't the traditional hardwood/hickory vibe I'm used to. Also... because the cheese and egg are fused together, it's basically impossible to pick the bacon out once it's in there. Next time I'd order it without bacon or ask for it on the side and make it crispy. It came with a side salad, which is not what I expected with breakfast, but it was actually great, fresh spring mix and a delicious dressing with a subtle sweet undertone. There were also hash browns with a crispy exterior and soft, warm interior, exactly the texture you hope for I just wish there were more of them! Because I have no self-control around French cafes, I also ordered the Belgian waffle with fruit and whipped cream. The waffle was warm and tasty, more tender/soft than crispy, and I ended up preferring it to the 'scrape the roof of your mouth' style that most restaurants serve up. The whipped cream tasted freshly whipped and the fruit selection was generous. My only critique: I'd skip the granulated sugar on top. The waffle is sweet enough already, and biting into sugar crystals isn't my favorite texture. For a drink I tried the blueberry lavender matcha. It had crushed blueberries in it, but the matcha flavor was pretty mild and the lavender got lost. I also would've liked a touch more sweetness from the syrup but overall it drank a bit "soft" and subtle. Bottom line... really cool little spot with friendly service, quick food, and a pastry case that will absolutely ruin any plan you had to "just eat light." I'll be back but next time I'm customizing that croissant sandwich and letting the pastries talk me into bad decisions.

I especially liked the Naples - I love pesto on a sandwich, but sometimes it can be overpowering, but the ratios were great here. We also got dessert--dobosh torte (which my partner hasn't had since he was 4) and a rigoletta amandina for me. I've never had either of these cakes elsewhere, but they were great! Not as sweet as your standard American cake, and with a slightly different texture, but everything was light as can be. Highly recommend. I understand what other reviews are saying in that the person at the counter wasn't exuberantly friendly and outgoing, but they answered our questions, got the order right, and when we forgot to get the water we purchased, they brought it to our table, so I would say the customer service we got was still 5 stars.
