Le Frenchie Cafe

I LOVE it here! went there for a quick breakfast stop and it’s such a good bang for your buck. they’re croissants are such a good price for a huge, amazing croissant. great service!

My husband and I love coming here for a quiet and delicious breakfast. The omelette is perfection and the French toast is life changing. I almost don’t want to share because I love this little spot so much and I don’t want the LA brunch line but it’s too good not to share.

They have a regular booth at Playa Vista Farmers market every Saturday. For $17 you get a pretty decent size of quiche with a side of salad with balsamic dressing. They have different flavors of quiches and we picked the chive and goat cheese. A bit light on the chives but you can definitely taste plenty of goat cheese throughout. Pretty yummy when you are hungry!

Le Frenchie Café is a cute little French inspired spot with a nice patio, though be aware it's right on a busy main road, so it's not the most peaceful setting. Service was friendly and attentive, and prices are very reasonable. The pastries were the highlight--super flaky and fresh. They leaned on the sweeter side (a bit too sweet for me), but still really tasty. Pro tip: definitely ask them to warm them up, it makes a big difference. The coffee, unfortunately, was the biggest letdown. It tasted watered down and lacked depth or richness, which is disappointing since good coffee and pastries should go hand in hand. Overall, worth a stop if you're in the area and craving something sweet, but maybe grab your coffee elsewhere.

We went here directly after work and we are the first person to arrived here. Be ready to wait for your food as they prepare it, make sure to keep your friends talking and make some stories before getting a nap. The staff is so friendly and accomodating.

Good food, great cozy atmosphere. The french toast was unlike any I've had anywhere else. Very flavorful and the texture was almost like a custard, delicious and not too sweet. Jamel's customer service was EXCELLENT he really went above and beyond to make the customers in the cafe feel appreciated and welcomed. I would definitely recommend this place.

A little piece of Paris! This café is an absolute gem—cozy atmosphere, delightful coffee, and the most incredible pastries I’ve ever tasted. The croissants are buttery and flaky, and every bite feels like a trip to France. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic French baking!

Update: I’ve been to the place often since first review. Still obsessed with their pastries, and service has been wonderful, staff is lovely! I found them through Too Good To Go App. They gave me 2 pastries for the “surprise bag” which I thought was too small for the concept, BUT they were DELICIOUS. Staff wasn’t super friendly, maybe cause I purchased from that app? Not sure, but I will stop by to try more pastries and see the actual prices. Location is great, and has really cute outdoor patio!

Very friendly staff Cute little Cafe with the possibility to sit outside or inside Food, Pastry and Cafe are amazi

We were walking to have breakfast at another restaurant when we decided to pivot and try Le Frenchie Cafe. The sign for sourdough pancakes caught our attention and we thought why not give it a try. The cafe was basically empty and we enjoyed our table outside. The lavender iced latte and the breakfast sandwich was fine. I typically don't like to eat salad for breakfast. The highlight of the experience was the sourdough pancakes. I am not much of a pancake lover but they might have been the best pancakes I've ever had in my life. I would go for the pancakes alone. It may be seasonal since I don't see it as a staple on the menu. I hope not!

This cafe is a good option for working remotely! Wifi is strong, but there are no outlets that I saw. There is an assortment of indoor and outdoor tables. There is also a bathroom available without a passcode. Their omelette really hit the spot and was delicious. Their pastries also looked gorgeous. The coffee was disappointing. I would not recommend getting their iced vanilla latte. It was not sweet and had an artificial and acidic taste to it. The staff were very friendly. The in-cafe music was really fun 90s music and the staff were kind enough to turn the volume slightly down when we respectfully asked.

After an eye doctor appointment in the same building I happened upon Le Frenchie Cafe and stopped in to grab a pan au chocolate. It's a very simple cafe but the pastry was quite good. Instead of just one bar of chocolate in the croissant it was spread evenly which was a very pleasant surprise. I'd be interested in coming back to the small quaint shop with a friendly server.

Hands down, the most delicious mixed berry muffins ever!!! Plus side, they don't sent my glucose sky high. YAY!!!! Service is wonderful. Always friendly, smiling and happy to answer any questions. Indoor and outdoor door seating. Lots of sunlight. Calm and relaxing music that isn't too loud. Perfect place to catch up w friends or enjoy a good book.

I found this cafe with "Too Good To Go" offer. It's relatively close from my place and I thought about give it try. In a paper bag, I got a chocolate chip muffin, a fruit (yellow peaches?) danish and a berry danish. Re-heated the danishes at home before I ate. They were decent, not bad. The muffin is the same. Not spectacular, but solid. Next time, I will try to dine in.

We hadn't known about this Café until we saw a "Too Good to Go" offer yesterday. I was greeted warmly at pick-up by the woman behind the counter. Even though I was a few minutes early, she readied my bag off savory and sweet goodies -- a Ham & Cheese Croissant (4/5) -- nice, flaky croissant but would like more ham and cheee filling -- Fruit Tarte (Croissant) (4/5), and Blueberry Muffin (3/5) -- needs more blueberries. The Café has a handful of tables indoors and a couple on the sidewalk. It seems to be geared more for take-away. The shop is bright and cheerful. Street parking only -- I found a space two doors away on Washington. Overall, a very good experience. We'll be back.

Firstly exposed to Le Frenchie was when I found it on Too Good Too Go app. Then I figured it's super close to my home and ended up paying a visit. The cute cafe came in pretty simple design, interestingly decorated with some wall paintings which they did sell. They offered pretty rich options of brunch menu including pastries, egg-based ones, various quiches, crepes and waffles. It's nice that they even put some displays on the counter so you could visualize the dishes. I wasn't that hungry so went for quiche and croissant. The quiche came in pretty decent size given the affordable price. I was hooked by some of their quiches, but unfortunately the ones left at that time were Lorraine and Tomato, while others were just name tags. Ending up with the first, I found it bit too eggy and tad greasy for my liking. It still tasted pretty good and would say it's nice value for money, but would prefer it to be more on cheesy side. I also went for their Chocolate Almond Croissant and it's nice that they could reheat it for me. The pastry base was kinda dry and not as flaky as I expected. The almond paste and chocolate filling weren't much and nothing special to call out. As the canele was called out as one of the favorites, I did get it for to-go and reheated it myself at home. It tasted decent though I wouldn't call it best one in town. Would fancy bolder vanilla hint and more buttery aroma. Probably next I should go for the scrambled eggs or french toast which seemed to be their more popular ones.

That Lady and I were in need of a bite and we decided to try it after driving past it in several occasions. Small but with an ambience. The croissants aren't bad at all, the French Toast is marvelous and they make a great coffee con latte. The quiche is very tasty. For an early morning bite or a quick breakfast this is very nice.

Unfortunately I was left with more to crave with this small breakfast place. Very cute on the outside and in a fairly quiet space. They have a few chairs and tables in the front and about three inside. They offer fresh pastries to grab and go. I dined in with my friend as she is local and is all about supporting small businesses. Let me tell you, no amount of sugar could fix the coffee I ordered. We both ordered an iced vanilla latte, one with whole milk and one with oat. Upon the first sip we both locked eyes and agreed we needed some type of sweetener as it was very bitter. We were both displeased to realize the sugar we added was not saving the coffee we desired. The food was decent, I realize there are no updates photos of the menu. They offer lunch sandwiches now which are decent. My friend ordered their pesto sandwich which is vegetarian and I just has cheese and tomatoes in between two bread slices coated in pesto. She only took about four bites if that speaks on how it tastes. I ordered the chicken sandwich on the menu which is described as chicken, mayo and mixed greens. Let me tell you, I am unfortunately one of those people who hate avocado. When I received my sandwich which was accompanied by fruit I was flabbergasted to see there was avocado and tomatoes in my sandwich as well, I immediately picked them off and would've appreciated them listed on the menu as I would've probably saved them time and produce if I would've known in advance. I also would have asked for a freshly made sandwich but I was starving and they took about 23 min to make two sandwiches (we were the only active table sitting there), I didn't feel like waiting any longer. Overall it didn't really seem like a place I'd voluntarily go back to.

Their chocolate almond croissant is worth the trip alone. Pro-tip: their to-go quiches come in lots of varieties and 2 sizes. Get a couple of personal sized quiches to keep in the freezer for a rainy day. Large, interesting menu. Food is always stellar. Gorgeous pastries. Very chill, often quiet. It's counter service with a small dining room and some outdoor tables.

$19.83 (Food: french toast - french croissant served with triple berry, whipped cream and syrup. Drink: water) Le Frenchie Cafe monologue: France came to Culver City, CA and I am so happy! The weather was perfect this past Friday morning. Sunny. About 60 ish. Light breeze from the east (well, not really sure but that just sounds good).  Immediately, when I arrived, the atmosphere invited me to sit and enjoy a meal or sip on some coffee, or tea, and take the moment in. I went inside and was excited about all of the delectable options. I asked the young lady at the counter about the toast...it was french. She directed me to the display case. The presentation activated my it's time to eat neurons and her explanation sent me over the moon. Yelp cousins, let me tell you something. This french toast was beyond amazing. The first bite made me think about all that is wonderful in this world. The second bite on thru the cleaning of any and every morsel of my plate put me in a world of gratitude. No syrup needed! As people arrived, I watched as Jamel made everyone comfy. Opening table umbrellas, putting tables together,  bringing over chairs; his actions put you in a position of wanting to come back and spread your experience...I'll be back and I'm telling/asking ya'll to go experience it too! Oh p.s. - I'm a tad confused. Several internet pages call this restaurant Laurent's "Le" Coffee Shop but Yelp has it titled Le Frenchie Cafe (which took a while for me to realize so I could leave this review). Could you shed some light on this?

Thank you for your reply. I originally ordered an egg, spinach and cheese croissant with fruit and a Belgian waffle with Nutella. Unfortunately, once I parked, I checked my emails and saw the waffle was canceled/ refunded per yelp. Once I arrived to your restaurant the young lady in front informed me you are out of waffles. I ordered a French toast and a chocolate almond croissant, and I paid for this in the store, but unfortunately, I didn't get a receipt. I've attached an image of my original Yelp order as well as a credit card charge from my in-store purchase.

Had a taste of a friend's veggie omelette at the farmer's market and was instantly intrigued. Picked up my first one at the shop about a week later and became hooked! I don't know what the secret is, but by God there is one! I seldom order omelettes but will go out of my way for theirs, and the handsome French service doesn't hurt ; ) Honorable mention to les canales, which are the best kind of trouble!

Came here on a scorching hot Sunday morning and the line was out the door, but the hard working staff was handling it with precision and speed. Had the Belgian waffle which was superbly executed with fresh fruit and cream. Also grabbed an orange roll that was to die for! I can't wait to go back soon. They were even extra nice to my pooch

Delicious! Got food and took it home. Blueberry muffin, ham and cheese croissant, and another savory croissant. The ambience there is really lax and chill. Looks like a great place for locals to meet up for coffee. I live close but wish it was walking distance. I'll be back :) the man who gave me my order was very kind

First time trying. Really impressed! Food was amazing the avocado toast on a baguette comes with fruit was yummy. my Matcha latte was amazing!! Service was amazing too ! Very helpful! Smiles were great love when it's welcoming. Sat out side the breeze was nice. Brought out my food and drink. They gave inside seating as well. A must try! Oh and pastry's omg!

Loved my coffee at le French Bakery #Breakfast #coffeeshop #lecoffeeshopcc #espresso #cafe

Food was great, service was really good and nice and ambiance was everything. Felt warm, cozy and calmed homie and not pretentious

Fun little brunch spot, food was great service was even better. Try the breakfast croissant sandwich, it was a hit!

I'm a true LA girl thru and thru, a local French bakery is a must. I have found my new favorite French bakery, the one I went to for years closed so I'm so happy I found this spot. The customer service is amazing and the food is perfect. The use fresh ingredients and you can tell. I highly recommend this spot.

Laurent's "Le" Coffee Shop is a French bakery cafe right right on Washington Blvd. The owner Jamel is from France and they do everything French style. La Vie En Rose is playing as I'm writing this, and it's such a peaceful start to my day. It's amazing, it's a typical French place. The people inside are amazing and the hospitality is top notch. I went with the coffee with almond milk, and the egg scramble with goat cheese and tomatoes, served with a side salad with their house-made vinaigrette. There's street parking in the neighborhood, just read the signs, and there are meters right out front. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's casual where you order at the counter and your food gets brought to you.

Everything I have tried , well except the salade nicoise, has been great. The barista makes the best dirty matcha blended I have ever had!

made me wait 30 minutes for pancakes and eggs yo, and at the 29 mark they brought eggs.. just eggs ! i had to flag her down so many times for water, bc the first one had shit in it, they i see her bring two dudes a table water and then I see the owner bring this couple of table water. I flagged her down again. Ask her if I can have a table water. She knows they only have two bottles because she leaves and comes back and tells me they only have two bottles. How do you have eight tables and only two bottles she could have told me early on "sorry its low staff,busy" something ! but only when i ask for refund is it "oh sorry its busy oh no oh no " it's all over the place bc im annoyed but i don't ever have to come here again that was so trash

What an absolutely lovely hidden gem! This place is unpretentious, cozy and perfect for a laid back breakfast, brunch or lunch. Not sure if this is always the case but I actually loved that there was no music playing. You can so rarely find a quiet place to sit in the city; I really enjoyed that. They have free wifi, so it's perfect to get some emails done over coffee. I got the Greek pita, which was basically a spinach, tomato and feta scramble wrapped in warm pita bread. It came with a side salad and fruit. Everything tastes super fresh, ingredients clearly great quality. Delicious, simple, and relatively healthy! I also got a French roast coffee, which was pretty good. Well balanced - didn't taste too bitter or burnt. Wouldn't come here just for coffee, but it was a nice addition to my breakfast. Next time, I'll have to try some of the croissants and other pastries in the case! The staff is friendly without being overbearing. The whole vibe felt very neighborhood hole-in-the-wall in the best way. Definitely stop by if you're in the area looking for a charming, relaxing little cafe!

Excellent customer service and their chocolate almond croissants are simply the best! Highly recommend!

Underrated! True French menu and pastries. The croissant is buttery flaky and crispy. Had two in one sitting, I couldn't help myself. service was fast. Quaint sweet liMacchiato was en pointe. Love!

What a find! Staying at an airbnb nearby and discovered this gem!! Seriously might be the very best cup of coffee I've ever had! Smooth and perfectly brewed. The flavor was simply perfect!! Asked the owner what his secret was...he told me he makes every cup with love! Also had the avocado toast which was delicious and served with the freshest fruit! I'm visiting for a week and might just be here for breakfast every morning!

Great avocado toast with sunny side up eggs Looking forward to experience more of the menu

Because they have a fabulous outside sitting area and because of pandemic we have been coming here more often. AND we have not been dissatisfied. We learned from the first time not to order the pancakes. We have tried their other items in the menu and we are super happy customers. I highly recommend. They have good service and their have almond milk for your coffee upon request. Their inside sitting area is small. And I am sn inside-sitting type of person. However, please know that their outside almost feels like an inside and I do enjoy it.

Great taste dishes, lots of varieties, super friendly services and warm environment, worthy lots of returns

Great local shop, highly recommend their pastries and coffee. Staff is really friendly and their omelette and French toast is delicious

Food and Service amazing. Good spot to share with friends and family. Totally recommend

Never have to wait. Croissants and waffles are the best in town. Perfect neighborhood spot!

Absolutely delicious food and top quality ingredients! We have become regulars at this lovely café. It has charmed us with its authentic and local vibe and wonderful owner who always welcomes us with a smile.

This is the best French bakery I have ever been to. I have been to France and this cafe beats all of the authentic French bakeries. Also, the vibe this place gave me is just magical. I would rate this bakery 6 stars. If you ever have spare time you need! to come to this place. Food is delicious and service is excellent.

The food was really good and the ambience matched the delicacies they had. We will come back, definitely!

Really solid all around . Had the veggie breakfast sandwich - get it on the the warm buttery and flakey house made croissant. They also have a little table inside with some chalula hot sauce packets to add some extra spice if you're into that . I was thankful not to see tapitio packets like at most places . It's the little things lol ! I won't lie , I ordered a Carmel machiado and was surprised when it was this tiny shot with foam . I also forgot to order it iced , so my fault . Even so , the coffee tasted really good and was made with care . The tall guy who took our order ( in sorry I forgot his name ), was very patient and informative . Even gave us some suggestions . Really appreciated how he took his time and checked in on us during our meal . He recommended the French toast and said it's INCREDIBLE ... we will just have to come back and see ... sounds like some other yelpers share his sentiment .

The cashier was waving at us before we even stepped into the shop! We loved the welcoming atmosphere from the beginning. The food was ready in just about 5 minutes which we really appreciated. We ordered 2 breakfast croissants, a raisin pastry, and berry muffin... everything tasted absolutely divine! The pastries tasted fresh and the hot scrambled eggs with the flaky croissant was exactly what we needed to start a perfect day ~

So good. My first time here and the food and pastries fabulous! Jamel the owner so sweet and such a nice person. Highly recommend.

Food is amazing, scrambled eggs and turkey sandwich is the best House made croissants are fresh and delicious

Jameel is nice, service is quick and efficient with a smile. the pastries are crispy and fluffy. The lavender coffee had good flavor to it without being iver powering but i dont know if i would order it again. Indoor and Outdoor seating but you're right on Washington blvd so pretty noisy and not much of a view. Parking up stairs.

Well we got there a Bit late after Sony so had a snack. New owner. The cinnamon bun was fabulous. ate the whole thing with ice tea. Marty had quiche. Mushroom. Tables outside and inside, great breakfast menu, salads, desserts. Love French food. Yummy. Very friendly chef who came out to say hi.

great food, choco croissant was yummy, fruit was pretty decently fresh, their pastries overall were good. service is fast and i would come again!

My husband and I had a lovely experience here on Sunday! We were lucky to snag a table as they only have 2 outdoor seating arrangements at the moment and we called ahead so we knew it wasn't busy at the time we went. The service was great! The food was yummy and the place is sparkling clean! What more can you want? The prices were reasonable too! I got the avocado toast with sunny side up eggs and my husband got the egg croissant, all yummy But the French toast blew us away ! We pigged out and ordered a third item to share .. so glad our waiter strongly recommended it because it was out of this world ! Indescribable! With berry's and cooked in butter, A Must try! We will be back!

Meh. I ordered the quiche Lorraine and a chocolate croissant and it tasted just like Costco brand food. Coffee was good though. Place is tiny but tidy. I wish the food was actually good though.

Delicious food, I had the avocado toast and it was very good, good atmosphere, good service. It's a very small cute place
