Le French Café

The owner is so kind and personable and really loves her home country. She tries to teach us a bit of French every time we come and recognizes repeat customers easily. You can tell the staff really cares. The atmosphere is very homey and bright and colorful.

This place has become a major disappointment. My crepe with egg, cheese, and potato contained chunks of French fries instead of potatoes, and the egg inside was raw. When I asked the waiter if it was supposed to be raw, he said, "It’s supposed to be over easy," and walked away. I enjoy eggs cooked over easy, but this one wasn’t cooked at all. They used to serve crepes with a side of cooked potatoes, but now they cut corners and use French fries instead. Their “salad” is just iceberg lettuce with Thousand Island dressing, served in a plastic container. Everything here seems premade, and the salad resembles something you’d get on an airline. The other crepe had chunks of ham that were clearly of the lowest quality. I left after hardly eating any food, which rarely happens. They’ve also reduced staff, and now you have to order your food at a counter. You’re asked to tip on the screen before receiving any food or service, and on top of that, they tack on a credit card fee. This place is very expensive for what you get and is nothing like the food quality in France.

Colorful coffee shop in the style of Paris. It was quiet with plenty of parking outside. Barista was friendly and experienced. The maple pistachio latte (fall seasonal) was superb. Good wifi is always a plus!

Gorgeous, delicious pastries! The food is made with high quality ingredients and with quite large portions. Super delicious food! Great staff, the owner is so friendly. Great location and patio. It does get busy at times, because it's wonderful, so keep that in mind! Highly recommend for breakfast, brunch, and lunch!

Please come to this place. Most authentic and delicious French food I’ve had in the USA. The owners are the loveliest people ever. Can’t recommend it enough! (Always get fries if you can)

All I can say is …. Eat here. Ella and Agnus (owner) simply a joy. But the food really spoke for itself. Probably the best in town.

Not only was the food fabulous the workers are too! The girl at the register gave us some very helpful tips and ideas for our time visiting Colorado (we’re from NC and VA) and a guy did too. They were so helpful! The owner is French and super nice too. And the food, oh my! Largest slice of quiche I think I’ve ever had and it was delicious. My mom and cousin loved their food too. Highly recommend this place!!

Cozy little spot with indoor and outdoor dining, and lots of French pastries and sandwiches to satisfy your cravings. I had a simple Petit Dejeuner and the baguette was outstanding. Croissant was very very flaky but also quite yummy. My London Fog iced tea also hit the spot. Staff was super friendly and welcoming with everyone who came in and I will be back to explore some more of the menu.

This is small French Bistro food. Simple & delicious. Order at the counter and pick a table. Love this place!

Looking for French food, look no further! Fantastic place for brunch or lunch. Order at the counter and they bring your food and drink to your table. Staff are very friendly and accommodating - helpful with any request. Seating is available inside and out, with some outdoor seating shaded. Egg breakfast was more food than I could eat. Would have preferred swapping out fries for fruit but no matter, couldn't have eaten it anyway. We got some pastries to go and wow, they were fantastic. We ate them the same day even though the intention was breakfast tomorrow.

Found this hidden gem and could not have asked for a more authentic french bakery experience. Food and drinks were delicious. I had the Bon Matin croissant and the blueberry almond tart. My kids had crepes and italian sodas - which were surprisingly good!

Came here with a few of my sorority sisters for breakfast. It was so cute and the owner was super personable. She even spoke French with one of my sisters. I had the 4 Ingredient Omelette with the Iced Tea. It was so good and so were the French fries. It was my first time in Boulder but I would totally come back to eat here.

First of all, the owner of this shop is beyond charming and makes you feel so welcome. She is delightful. I immediately wished she had time to sit at my table and chat. She doesn't, because the cafe is packed and rightfully so. The food is delicious! I had the savoyarde crepe, a buckwheat crepe with potatoes, prosciutto and raclette. I adore raclette cheese. This dish is luscious. The salad on the side is light and fresh. I had a fruit tart with vanilla custard on the side. The cafe is clean and bright, with both indoor and outdoor seating. I want to come back and try everything!

Adorable. Delicious. Charming. GREAT food. The service was speedy - right to your table. You enter ... they give you a table number (in French if you speak French!) and you order at counter ... then sit! Table service ! No rush. Relaxed and peaceful. The outdoor patio was not crowded together at all. Could chat and not worry being overheard and couldn't hear table-neighbor convo either. Local charm with extra added delicious! We had paninis. Salad. Fries. Latte. Lemon crepe. Fruit tarts. All spectacular. Can't wait to come back!!!!

Super cute place. They set you and then you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. 3 of us shared quiche Lorraine, and an Olivia crepe. Perfect afternoon snack. Service was great. They are so helpful and offer great suggestions.

We had such a great experience at Le French Café in Boulder! It's a cozy, charming little spot. We ordered the Brest sandwich on a croissant, the chicken and spinach omelette, and a Nutella crêpe--and everything was delicious. The croissant was buttery and flaky, the omelette was fresh and flavorful, and the crêpe hit the spot--sweet, light, and just the right amount of indulgent. What really stood out, though, was the vibe. The owner is incredible--so happy, warm, and welcoming. She greeted everyone with a big smile, and you could tell she genuinely loves what she does. The service was quick and friendly, and it made the whole experience even better. This is our must stop spot every time we visit Boulder.

Great lunch after a little shopping at REI around the corner. Restaurant is cute, with colored chairs and some indoor and outdoor seating. Service was 5 stars. They greeted us and seated us at a table. Then you go up the counter to order. While taking our order the woman was very nice, wishing us a happy women's day and chatting with us. My almond joy latte was also 5 stars. I got the smoked salmon crepe which was pretty good. They also came around and checked on us a few times.

After trying their pastries for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I decided it was about time that I give them a try for lunch--boy was this a bad decision. Don't get me wrong, the pastries were tasty, but for the price, they're just not worth it. I'd rather go to another bakery where the pastries aren't small and the quality and taste are much better. A better bang for your buck. Lunch was a huge mistake. Honestly, this place wasn't my first choice, but it just so happened that my #1 pick for the day turned out to be a disappointment too. Any who, I ordered a crepe with Swiss cheese, leeks, and tomatoes, and opted for the buckwheat crepe and fries as the side--the whole thing lacked flavor, except for one bite that was super salty, so I ended up leaving half of my food. On a more positive note, the fries were hot, but they needed salt. On a scale of 1-10, the food was a 3, in my opinion. I'm glad that I tried this cafe, but I definitely won't be returning or recommending.

Le French Café is a must stop if you want delicious food. The dining room is quite charming with all the colors and decor. And you can't beat the service. Our coffee was never empty! It is a little pricey, but definitely worth the cost.

Incredible spot for breakfast in Boulder. Open early for all your French cuisine needs! We had a croissant bacon Swiss and cheese that was delightfully paired with French fries. The lemon and sugar crepe was tart and soft and yummy! Coffee, of course was amazing! Agnes is a bright light of hospitality and joy! The chocolate almond croissant and raspberry mini croissant were both a perfect end to the meal. Love love love this spot. 80s music also was a hit!

Great little French cafe. The menu is huge, something for everyone. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Prices are a little on the higher side but comparable for the area.

Whether you are coming down the flat irons trails, going in after church, or cruising through Boulder. Going into this restaurant will be a great choice. With outdoor seating and inside dinning you won't go wrong in any season. I've had the liberty of meeting the owner and she is a magnificent host and business owner. Genuine along with her staff they will all make you feel at home. With the multiple savory crepes they have, and other French breakfast and lunch options no dietary restrictions may be an obstacle. The coffee is on point, I recommend to also indulge in the pastries and take some bread home. But if you also want some beer, ciders, or wine... you will feel like you're in a cozy place in Paris.

Went here for the first time this weekend and it was such a great experience! Everyone who worked there was really friendly and the owner was so welcoming and kind to our family, setting our kids up at their own table to play and constantly checking on us. I was honestly amazed that she was giving every customer so much attention despite how busy it was. The food was great but the service and experience just took it over the top. Merci beaucoup pour un repas mémorable!

Food was delicious! Given the name (café), we thought the menu might be limited, but it wasn't. So many choices! We came for lunch, and they were busy so service took a little longer, but it was definitely worth the wait. Seating was available both indoors and outdoors on a shaded patio. Will come again.

There is a reason why the line is consistently out the door!! This cafe is loaded with character, and feels very cozy. I ordered the honey lavender latte which was spectacular! The lavender flavoring was perfect! Not too strong, great latte!! I also had the ham and Swiss crepe with fries and I really enjoyed the meal. The fries were so flavorful and the perfect texture. The crepe was light and airy - cooked to perfection! The owner is very sweet and friendly! Would definitely return

This is a lovely place to have some delicious brunch. If you are looking for a new brunch place with lighter non American dishes, you will love it. We ordered the smoked salmon baguette, berrichons, and a salter caramel crepe. All are amazing but the crepe was a pleasant surprise. The caramel was a little bitter and not too sweet, very much an acquired taste to fall in love with after a few bites. One thing to be aware is that they are very popular, so make sure you get yourself in line before you get too hungry.

The food was sooooooooooo good!!!!! The service is awesome!! The owner is so friendly and you can tell she cares about everyone. The ambience and vibe of the place is so cute! Outdoor seating as well and restrooms are available! Give this place a try!!

Very lucky find while in Boulder. The food is so great and the staff are friendly. Loving this panini.

Pricey for what you get which is why I don't go very often, but the owners are sweet and hard working, love the variety, and gf options. Plus the free parking and WiFi

Took my mom here on Mother's Day. We both enjoyed the food and environment. The baked goods were super tasty

This has quickly become one of my favorite spots in town. The food is high quality and made with heart - from baked treats, to huge salads, beautiful breakfasts and for something special, the beef bourguignon over frites is incredible. The owner is so kind and provides such a nice environment, she is especially sweet to my kiddo and has a whole little section of toys for him to enjoy while we eat. I wish I found Le French sooner.

The food was very good and the staff are so nice! The owner ran the register and it was so cool seeing the passion she has for this place. She was adamant that if we did not like our food to let them know and they would fix it. I had the Basquaise crepe (I think that's how you spell it idk) and it was pretty good. I liked how all the vegetables were cut up small so it was not hard to eat. I added a bit of salt and pepper (btw they have very great salt) and it livened up all the savory flavors. Entrees come with either fries or a salad and I tried the salad. The salad admittedly was not my favorite since I usually added a decent amount of cheese to mine, but the dressing was very interesting. It had the zing of a vinaigrette but was less intense and had small chunks of something throughout, maybe anchovies idk. My husband had the ham and cheese croissant which was amazing! His fries were pretty good, the phenomenal salt on them stole the show in the best way and paired great with the ketchup. The restroom was good and I liked how there were chairs in the hall so you can sit if there is a line.

Tried the special steak frites and what a mistake that was. Ribeye,--asked to have it med rare, came out rare. Sent it back, always risky and it came back well done and tough as leather. Chef's retaliation for complaining I guess. My fries were cold and hard, my friends were hot and crispy. Wow. For. $25+ for a lunch entree, not good, not edible and not returning.I left over 80% of my expensive lunch. Their miniature sized pastries are good enough, but not for the money. Glad to check this one off our list and will not likely return. Also it was so loud inside for lunch that we had to shout to hear one another. Oh well, there are lots of good places in Boulder to patronize. We lived in Paris for 3+ years and we were so hopeful that this place could be our new go-to. Shamane's and Dry Storage are much much better tasting and much better values.

Wanted breakfast / brunch in Boulder, but not the regular eggs and omelets. Le French Cafe was highly ranked on Yelp. For a reason. Was greeted by who I have to guess was the French lady that owns the place. She was so so personable and great. My daughter said "Wow, she is amazing". The food was absolutely awesome. I had a salmon croissant sandwich and a raisin danish, she had a mozzarella, tomato and oil baguette and a raspberry custard danish. Just outstanding. Super fresh food, great service and fast (even for 10am on a Sunday). Highly Recommend Came back March 12 2023: Continues to be one of our favorite places to eat in Boulder. Literally some of the best food you can get. Amazing. Have a quiche with mushrooms and ham and it was as fluffy as a soufflé. Son had croque monsieur - just awesome. Can not recommend highly enough.

We love this place. The food is great and the service is fast and friendly. I'm a big fan of their sandwiches and my wife loves their quiche (I do too).

My first time here was amazing as I was greeted with the owner who was so nice and welcoming. The food was amazing and priced very well. Highly recommended and will definitely be back!

One of my favorite regular spots in Boulder! The staff, particularly Agnes, is always so kind and friendly and food is consistently amazing! The outdoor patio is lovely and the fresh pastries are irresistible. Definitely a fan favorite!

I love this place! The food is always great and hits the spot. The staff are so friendly and remember me even though i dont get to go to often. They make the day better with their friendly smiles and warmth. The seating is cozy and eclectic and has a great patio to sit on when there is good weather

Reliably tasty French food, open for breakfast and lunch. Incredibly extensive menu, with panini, baguette sandwiches, a huge variety of salads, some bistro favorites, and beautiful delicious fruit tarts, croissants in the case at the front of the restaurant. Ordering is at the front, but otherwise attentive table service. I particularly enjoy the lyonnaise salad, which I've had several times. Dining companions have loved the Niçoise salad. Great place for casual lunch, brunch or breakfast. Indoor seating plus a nice outdoor patio.

Love this place so much their breakfast food is just delicious, service is grand and their baked goods are fresh. The owner is so gracious and the place is always Full with customers and you can feel the good vibes Can't wait to go back

The lollipop lamb special was some of the best lamb I've ever had. The seasonings and how it was cooked was top notch. People working here are super friendly and make you feel right at home

My experience at Le French Cafe has been wonderful each time. The ambience is always bright, cheery and joyful. The food has always been delicious--perfectly prepared and lovingly served. My last meal there was the fluffiest, cheesiest, most delicious Quiche aux Poireaux. Swiss and leeks. The salad was fresh and an excellent accompaniment. The baguettes are so fresh and chewy authentically French. The other tarts and treats are always tempting. There are many choices of drinks from coffee to sodas to wine and beer. Now on the carry out side, I highly recommend the boeuf bourguignon with pasta and the ratatouille. One container each has 4 servings in my house. I can't wait to try the raclette. Next time. Thanks Mme Agnes and Chef Quentin for many delicious, authentic French meals.

What a great find! My wife and I, along with our granddaughter who attends CU, went for lunch. I had a savory crepe--the Meridionale--made with white flour, with a side of fries. This was absolutely delicious. For dessert my wife and I shared a nutella crepe--the Alyce. The service was wonderful and the staff was welcoming and friendly. Five stars!

Phenomenal food quality and service. Love being able to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. I'm gluten free, but can cheat about once every 2 weeks, and this place is worth the cheat the croissants are fabulous. Been going here for years and I'm never disappointed.

Our favorite place to stop when going to Denver. Wonderful food, nice atmosphere, and the hostess with the mostest! Fun!

Wonderful French cafe in Boulder! Super delicious food and quick service considering the crowdedness of the place on a Saturday morning. I had the petit dejeuner. The bread was so good and I substituted for the chocolate almond croissant which was so so amazing. Everything isn't too sweet and baked to perfection. The fruit tart was also super good. Crust is perfectly crispy and not too sweet. Huge amount of strawberries on top too. Highly recommend.

The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious! We only tried a few things but I genuinely don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

Everything is excellent! Fries with breakfast? Why not! They have the best fries, I think it's the thick salt they use. I normally don't like a soft fry but theirs r awesome. Owner is very attentive & upbeat. The bakery is incredible. There's a square pastry that looks like it has raspberries on the bottom, can't remember what it's called. Almost has a hard pudding consistency, not flaky dough. It's great!

Easily my favorite brunch. The savory crepes are generously filled and you can get mimosas here as well. The ambiance is causal and comfortable but also put-together. Service tends to be good although occasionally finding a table can be a challenge. Not a great spot to do takeout because it's too fun to just be there. I recommend sitting down and enjoying slowly. Especially if you are lucky enough to end up on the patios

We had cappucinos and weren't impressed. But we enjoyed everything else. I had the swiss, bacon, mushroom crepe and elected to use buckwheat flour. Hearty flavors but it needed a little more swiss cheese. My wife went with a Montagnard which is a prosciutto, and raclette filled toasted sandwich. We both got side salads. It was a satisfying breakfast with a few minor flaws.

I originally wanted a crepe, but ended up getting the croq' monsieur instead. They ran out of the iced tea of the day, so I opted for a hot chocolate. My friend ordered the croq' madame and a hot beverage as well. This cafe is pretty cute, but there was a giant bug on the window where we were sitting at that kept buzzing around. For the side items, I chose the potatoes, which were basically seasoned fries and my friend got a salad. I really enjoyed my meal here and thought that the food was very authentic!

The food here is excellent. I have returned three times. The employees are very friendly and the service is excellent. Definitely a great place to eat if you're in Boulder.

Le French Cafe has great sandwiches and pastries. I love the Le Mans and Avignon. It's their bread that makes the sandwich. Their fruit tarts are tasty. The owners work their asses off also. Taking orders, running food out but taking the time to be so friendly to customers.

Charming brunch-lunch place that does as much business selling its delightful pastries to go as it does with table service. Food: Crepes, sandwiches, pastries, just what you would expect from a little diner in France. Nothing life-altering, but all quite good. Drink: Espressos, various coffee drinks. Good. Service: Service on our visit was a little harried -- just one person (the owner) manning all the tables, inside and out. Orders are given at the counter. That said, the service was tolerably fast and pleasant. Atmosphere: Not a romantic French restaurant. Brightly painted, travel posters on the walls. But the place was clean and pleasant. Overall: This is a go-to spot for our friends in the area, with good reason. We'll be back again. Recommended.

The desserts here are for sweettooths, so be prepared for a major sugar rush. My friends thought the pastries were way too sweet. I just fixed that by pairing every bite with a sip of cold milk. My favorite was the hazelnut chocolate croissant. It had a thin caramelized layer in it. Interesting croissant texture. Pistachio chocolate croissant was my second favorite. Neither had the the typical flaky croissant texture but the filling flavors make up for it. The tart was good but I thought it would've been better without the glaze. It was already extra rich. Service: The French lady has lots of enthusiasm. Must be from all the extra sugary desserts there. Covid-19: Indoor dining available, but I opted for takeout. Capacity limited. Very clean (even bathroom). Hand sanitizer available.

The food was great! And sitting on the back porch was so peaceful. The staff is very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Every time our family visits Boulder, Le French Cafe is on the agenda. The lady behind the counter is a sweetheart and the food is amazing! Deion needs to eat here.
