The French House

We have walked past this place many times and finally we gave it a go. We like the decor of the place, the saucer and the cakes on display. The first person we met, she was making coffee, she was lovely. However when it came to the time to order, the guy behind the counter taking our order didnt appear that he wanted to be there or willing to help with our GF enquiry. In fact we were rushed to pay though we were the only customer in line. The service could be better. Overall it's ok, but I would not be rushing to get back here, plenty to try out around the area.

The decor is worth a visit to this unique cafe if nothing else. It is French provincial in style and just makes you feel like you are being treated like a king to queen!! The coffee is above average, but the real standout is the pastries. Both savoury and sweet are just delectable!! I am a fan of the tarts, but the basic croissants are too worth a try!! It can get busy on the weekend, so best for a mid week indulge and the dogs are welcome clout side too!! No table service, but you really need to look at their selection to choose something to quell those taste buds!!

Pleasantly surprised to find they have an extensive cooked breakfast selection. I had scrambled eggs with truffle oil and goat curd on bread. The bread was not great but the eggs were tasty. My partner had the French toast with bacon and maple. It smelled spectacular. Campos supply the coffee beans so the coffee is high quality.

This cafe has style! Amazing interior, very vintage French, very chique. The prices are a bit high for the food but you also pay for the atmosphere and that's acceptable then. There are tables inside but also plenty of opportunities to sit on the big veranda in front of the house. We had large coffees in beautifully big broad mugs and the croissant with smoked salmon and poached eggs as well as the croissant with proscuitto and scrambled eggs - it was yum! The service was good, everything came out at once and it didn't take to much time. The other food options looked great too, especially the different cakes & tartes and the almond croissants.

This place has a large selection of pastries and sandwiches. They serve coffee in bowls and the staff are very friendly. I had the Croissant Tartine with scrambled eggs and prosciutto. Which was very tasty and a more than substantial breakfast. The coffee was good and the food arrived fairly quickly. We also had the French Toast which was very well presented, very tasty, but could have been a little crispier. My only major criticism would be the small breakfast menu, but I expect where this place excels is lunch and pastries. Also it's not too crowded on a Sunday morning but you may have trouble finding a park on the street thanks to the Hillsong Church. We parked at Aldi.

I used to enjoy this cafe on early Sunday mornings before the rush commenced and the small kitchen would start to delay. This past amend however it seems like either the owners have changed, the water cooler was left empty, even after asking two staff if they could fill it, also the washer glasses have been replaced with disposable plastic cups, not quite the same. I had a quarter quich with salad for $14, which was OK but not amazing, their coffee was nice but both items took a long time to arrive. The decor is still amazing, however the blackboard was empty, seems the cafe is understaffed. I noted a few customers come in and leave empty handed, the coffee machine was not being attended at times, so perhaps a barista is missing. Perhaps better on a weekday.

This place is crazy beautiful. If you wish you were a French queen from the mid 18th century, you should hang out here every day. I like their coffee - although I think more serious coffee lovers might like Sonoma up the road. Grab a cup of tea there instead, if only for the sugar cubes and beautiful fine chine tea service it comes in. Their chocolate mousse and custard and fruit tarts are heavenly.
