    Two eggs, potato's and toast
    Jessica W.

    Super cute little small town Minnesota diner - they even have a couple retro bar-top stool seating options. Have never been here for anything other than a simple breakfast but it is always the perfect thing for a Sunday morning after a night out in Stillwater. Nothing fancy or over the top but homey vibes and kind, family friendly service.

    Excellent food, served quickly with friendly service. We would go back! Definitely the hometown cafe vibe- which we like. Prices were reasonable as well.

    Stillwater in one of my favorite towns in Minnesota, but I did never notice this Cafe, well we decide to come and guess what? Ooooh la-la...!!! Exactly what I was expecting, HOME MADE FOOD..!!. Their food is very good and portion very good, I'm happy we found this Cafe because I love breakfast. It was a great experience so I have to recommend this place and give them 5 stars Because the food, customer service, clean and they have home made food. Keep it up, keep cooking and keep making people happy.

    Good breakfast place - multiple visits and I think the gyro omelette is great, and the service is fast and friendly.

    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!

    Decided to give this place a try after being in the area. Quick review: Food was VERY tasty!…read moreService and ambiance... definitely lacking.... I walked in and saw you could either order on a large touch screen on with a person at the front. I don't mind touch screens, so I went to start my order. The problem is that there are no pictures... so you're not 100% sure what you are ordering. I stopped the order and walked over to the case to order with the employee instead. There was one woman in front of me and she got her items quickly. I ordered 5 items. (See pic below) All of them were fantastic! I really do judge a place by how well they can do a croissant, and this place does them very well!! The employees were very polite but for some reason my order took almost 15 mins to fill... I watched them pull the items from the case, so I'm not sure why it took them so long to do the order. There was only one other person who ordered after me and she had a drink and a box of pastries too... she received her items first. As for the space, it is bland and feels like an old Carribou coffee.... There really wasn't anything that felt "Paris or French" here. Very bland and not very cozy. If you plan on going(the food was very good) order it to go...

    We decided to visit Sweet Paris for a light brunch but when we arrived it was nothing light. The…read moreoptions were endless and it's very hard to decide what you want. We started our order with bubbles and at the register taking our order was Moriah. She was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the Croque Madame and bubbles and sat and waited for our food. About 15 minutes later Moriah brought our food out and greeted us and made us feel very welcomed. We then found out she was the General Manager. We were very impressed that the leadership here leads by example and they step up and do every job. She was a server, at the register and cleaned tables. This is rare these days and not only that she was very high energy and very welcoming. We plan to make another trip to try more items on the menu the food was fantastic and the portion sizes were generous. They also have a beautiful outdoor area.

    First time visitor, can't even rate the food because we never received it…read more Disappointed in the very long wait and we ended up leaving without recicieving our meal. Our patience ended when it exceeded 35 minutes for only two crêpes. We went up to the front register twice. The response was just five more minutes. Multiple tables that ordered after us receive their meals and yet we waited. Talk to the manager who claimed that 30+ minute wait is very normal. Well, it's not for us. They were unable to print any receipt to confirm a refund. We will wait for Visa to ensure that our money was refunded.
