Pascàline French Bistro & Patisserie

Our bookclub came here for our holiday lunch and had a fantastic time. Room was found for our party of 8 with ease. The servers were all so accommodating & kind. Each menu item ordered was scrumptious. I loved my salmon sandwich and curry carrot soup. The salad was super fresh with a tasty dressing. The interior is cozy and charming and the prices are reasonable. The desserts are divine. I will definitely be retuning.

Cute small French bakery and a place for light meals. We had the Italian Dip Sandwich and a Cobb Salad. Both were great and filling

I had carrot soup and quinoa/arugula. They were great! The side of toasted bread was great too. It's a little expensive for what you get though.

My husband and I had some delicious pastries and great french press coffee for breakfast. We highly recommend the bread pudding! Service is great. We'll be coming back for sure.

Exactly what I needed yesterday, Muah!! Skirt streak with the tiger prawn appetizer. Loving it. PLUS!!! You can bring your dog and eat outside....shut up and take my money.

Definitely the best cafe around here. Love the atmosphere. It’s very clean, quiet, and of course the pastries are so good. I came here Saturday morning but not so busy. You can enjoy having coffee quietly here

My food was okay, I got the double decker panini which was decent....side salad was good. My friend got the egg salad sandwich and enjoyed it. They look like they have some nice pastries, but I didn't get any. A little pricey. Not sure if I'd come back here.

Had a delicious sandwich with tuna on ciabatta. Generous portions and the side salad was delicious too, not just an afterthought. Reasonably priced and nice atmosphere.

Our book club had our holiday lunch here today and had a magnificent experience. The servers were all so kind and accommodating with us. The place has a charming cozy feel. Each item we ordered was scrumptious (we all had something different). And the bakery items look divine. I took mine to go as I was quite satiated from lunch. I also took a bowl of their curry carrot soup home for dinner. I will totally be coming back here!

I was in town for the holidays. Great to see that there's a nearby bakery shop. Its located behind the Ross shopping plaza with a very small parking lot. They were busy when I arrived. I just wanted some croissants to take home. After about 3 minutes, the wait staff finally had time to take my order. I got 2 croissants and a lemon bar. While ringing me up, the wait staff was clearly distracted with attending their customer. While my card was processing, the cashier just left with 2 small white paper bags: one was more tucked behind the register and one was more placed in front of me. I kind of assumed the one placed behind the register and out of reach was not mine (perhaps an online order or someone's take out order that was seated). Since the cashier just walked off and I was running short on time, I just grabbed the one bag and went on my way. Upon sitting down to eat what I had purchased, I noticed the lemon bar was not placed in the bag. While the croissants were good, I was a bit annoyed that the one extra bag tucked behind the register counter was likely the lemon bar I had purchase. The total for each item was about $6 each coming to a total of $18 so I guess it was a $6 tip at this point. Busy or not, this was a very curt way to ring up a customer and not even ensure they had everything before dashing away to help other guests.

I got an albacore tuna sandwich, that was not bad considering I'm not the biggest fan of canned tuna (probably should've asked to clarify with them before on what type of tuna that would be used so my fault!). The amount of tuna they gave was very filling and also kept on sliding out of my sandwich. My boyfriend and I also got a french press for 2 to share. This tasted okay. We got a pear tart to go that we didn't end up eating until a day after so the crust was a bit soggy. I'm sure if we ate it fresh, it would've been even better! The waitress/cashier were really kind and made sure we were enjoying everything just fine. The tables were a bit cramped together so hard to pass on some sides. All in all - a nice time here on our last day here in Santa Rosa!

This is a real small café in the Montgomery Village area. Our book club decided to have Christmas luncheon there. The room was quite comfortable. It was a little on the small side, but we all fit the table that we were assigned The staff were very friendly and very accommodating . I had the roast beef French dip sandwich Was good but a little bit salty for my taste. It might've just been me because I am sensitive to salt. It came with a salad, which was a delicious. I got the curry carrot soup to take home with me for dinner and a dessert. Those I got pictures of the sandwich I forgot. The soup was good and

Was on the hunt for a cafe that served coffee and light lunch/pastries and stumbled upon this through Yelp. Thank you Yelpers for another great pick! Consensus reviews are spot on. Upon entering, we were welcomed with a warm smile and friendly greeting. We didn't feel rush to order as there were plenty of things to choose from: Food: ordered the frittata, croque madame, and a cup of soup. Frittata was great (esp with the french press coffee that I ordered along side it) and piping hot. Croque madame was 100% must order again. It was flavorful, salted just right, and the gooey mix of egg yolk and cheese makes me think about recreating this gem at home. The bread was not hard and provided just the right amount of carbs to absorb all the liquids. Soup of the day was beef and vegetable. Perfect hearty comfort soup to warm up amidst the cold weather spell that morning (below 50). Service: great Ambiance: not a ton of seating but it wasn't too crowded for us. Seating is mainly tables for 2-4 people and there's a section with a banquette along the wall that can be combined to make seating for 6+. Overall, very happy that I came here and would definitely stop by again in the future.

This is one of those "how have I never known about this restaurant!?!?" kinds of places. I chose this for my girlfriend lunch and though it sounded familiar, I knew I had never been before. I was several minutes early so I ordered an almond croissant "to bring home" then found us a table outside. It was about 11:45 on a Tuesday morning and the place was fairly empty minus my table and maybe one other inside. Little did I know that in 20 minutes time, I would be waiting in a line that went out the door. When my friend arrived, we got in line, placed our orders, and then sat back down. We were grateful we had a table because no lie... by that time ... every single spot was taken, including the ones out next to the parking lot. I don't know what magic or love was in the preparation of that food or maybe I just ordered the most decadent thing on the menu but my Croque Madame was incredible! Every component could shine on its own, but when you put them all together together...good heavens! Perfection. Not to be outdone, that croissant was flaky and buttery, and all things almond in flavor. It had just the right amount to not be overwhelming, but enough to make certain you know what flavor you chose. Of course, I learned that Pascaline had been around for quite a while next to Mom's Apple Pie. I'm sorry I never experienced their cute bistro in Forestville, but I'm so glad to have found them here near Montgomery Village.

We dined here for the New Year's Eve dinner and it was easily one of the best meals I have had in my life. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We have dined here during normal hours as well and always have a great experience. The restaurant is clean and laid back while still being elegant. The owners really put in a lot of dedication and love into their craft. We recommend this restaurant to everyone we know.

Absolutely divine and fresh food! Came for a late lunch and had the green goddess salad, the croque monsieur sandwich, and a fancy bakery bun and veggie quiche! I was moaning in joy the entire time. Super friendly service and beautiful flowers painted all over the walls.

Arrived a few minutes before they were opened and there were already guests waiting outside. Plenty of outdoor seating. The team was still filling the bakery case with more scrumptious goodies. I came for two items: Kouign-Amann and the Caneles. Sad to learn Kouign-Amann we're only available on weekends. Decided to share the Quiche Florentine and Ham & Cheese Croissant for breakfast. Finishing off with a Canele which my friend never had before. Everything was delish. Indoor dining was bright and plentiful. Service was great too!

What a cute little place to catch up with friends! This quaint little bakery is hidden just outside Montgomery Village shops, but is worth the effort to find it. The bakery is nice and bright with several tables, indoors and outdoors, to sit and relax. All of the pastries look delicious and range from sweet treats like pear tarts and flan, to sandwiches and paninis. It has something for everyone. I couldn't resist trying their "boar in bed" for the funny name, but it was hearty and delicious. The caneles were not too sweet and the perfect sized little treat. I'm definitely returning to try the lunch dishes next time!

So, so very good! We have probably tried about everything in this restaurant over the course of many visits. Everything is outstanding. My favorite is the French dip sandwich. The staff is very sweet. The only thing I miss is a good latte. Unfortunately they only offer regular coffee.

Stopped in with my boyfriend for a weekend lunch at this cute bistro, and it was lively but not too packed! You order and pay first at the counter, then seat yourself and your food will be brought to your table. We also had to ask at the counter for water glasses. Service was very friendly and efficient. My boyfriend ordered the albacore tuna sandwich and I got the fresh mozzarella panini. We also shared a slice of the broccoli and cheddar quiche, and got the bread pudding to-go for dessert. Everything was quite yummy, and pretty much tasted exactly as you'd expect. The panini was a little on the salty side, probably because of the sun-dried tomatoes, but I still liked it. The bread pudding had chocolate in it, which I didn't expect, and personally I think it would've been good without, but if you like chocolate then it's still probably a win. The side salad that comes as an option with the sandwiches was HUGE and very well-dressed. The side of chips is just a bag of the Kettle brand potato chips. The menu is a little on the pricey side but the portions are pretty big. We also happened to have a gift card which is why we splurged a little. The pastry displays look delicious and I hope to come back and try some of the other desserts!

A Taste of Paris. Indulging in the finest French pastries and bistro delights during this Holiday season. Joyeux Noël! This French patisserie and bistro offers all you need in fresh baked goods, sandwiches, and a tasty pastries. My favorites--Almond Croissant, Boar in Bed and, the Kouign-Amann which are all perfection! Notes: --Superb and coming service! --Convenient private parking lot. --Indoor and outdoor dining.

Such a cute French bakery!! Inside is super bright and there is outdoor seating also. Lots of food options, mainly pastries and different types of sandwiches. We ordered the apple bostock, ham and cheese quiche, and the veggie mozzarella panini. The apple bostock was 10/10! Perfect texture, crunchy on the outside and moist in the middle. Loved the almonds on top. Had little slices of apple and powdered sugar to top it off. The quiche was very hearty, had a lot of ham in it. The panini was on focaccia bread, and had mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and some kind of roasted tomatoe and olive spread in it. I actually don't like olives, but I barely noticed the olive taste. I would have given this place 5/5, but they only had drip coffee and French press, so very limited options on coffee drinks. Also thought the panini was pricey at $18 for a sandwich. I want to come back and try other things on the menu!

Ordered food for a resent cocktail party and was extremely disappointed with the quality. The mini quiche appetizers were baked in a SWEET short pastry crust not savory, several of the other items had been prepared way too early and were dried out. This was an expensive and huge disappointment....would not recommend them given their ineffective response to our complaints. Think they have hit the big time....small venues stay away not worth the $$$$.

A pleasant surprise located in a secluded area. Staff are gracious and kind, taking extra steps to make sure you're comfortable and attended to. We (my wife and I) were pleasantly surprised with a visit from chef at the end of the meal to make sure everything was ok. We had seen reviews for breakfast and pastries but saw the pop-ups and found they are now serving dinner and so glad we stopped in. The fish was light and flaky. Veggies were cooked perfect. Thank you chef for a delicious dinner. We ended up stopping by for some pastries the next morning. Butter croissant and ham and cheese croissant were delish!

Such a nice oasis by Montgomery Village...close but not inside the village is a cute bistro/patisserie. There's inside and outside picnic tables to choose from. There's savory and sweet choices. Had their daily special muffin...light flaky without being overly sweet with currants inside and nicely brewed black iced tea. Then had their boar in bed and ham/cheese croissant ... delicious but chewy. Will need to go back to try out their quiches and sandwiches.

Words cannot begin to describe the aroma when you enter Having the Lox on bread, comes with a side salad Only negative is tank coffee okay. Doesn't knock my socks off French Roast.

We took a shot in the dark and tried this little restaurant and we weren't disappointed! I had their Chef Salad and it was probably the best I've ever had! My husband ordered the Croque Madam and loved it too. I plan to go back because their quiches and Chocolate Croissants were calling to me! Nice waitstaff too!

Delicious! The chocolate croissant was so soft and fluffy, you can tell they were made fresh and with love. I had to get two! My only takeaway is that there is no espresso here. Still giving five stars for the croissants. Beautiful atmosphere and friendly service :)

We did take out for pastries. Bought 6 to share with friends. The ones we tried: Pear tart - delicious pears in a hard tart crust Almond croissant - lots of crunchy sliced almonds on top and good croissant Chocolate croissant - didn't like this one. Chocolate wasn't that tasty. Other croissants I've had use sweeter chocolate and the croissant wasn't flaky. It was quite small. Plain croissant - acceptable but not as buttery as others I've tasted. The staff was nice and friendly, other patisseries could learn from their staff on how to provide customer service.

We tried Pascaline on Saturday am after much anticipation throughout the week. The space is lovely both inside and out. The parking is a tad cramped but lots of options nearby on the street or even in Montgomery Village. We ordered 6 bakery items and it was $32. I get it, brand new place, they need to pay a living wage, etc. still $5 for a croissant feels high. Both croissants were tasty. The almond in particular has a good amount of filling and almonds on the top. The pear tart was just ok. The baguette (not pictured) was very good. Came just wrapped in paper. We also ordered a bread pudding that is yummy but on the dryer side. Would like to go back for lunch,

It is raining here in Sonoma County, take yourself & your family there TONIGHT for dinner, I am not kidding! Chef Didier did an amazing job! They will be open till 9:00 PM & there is PARKING. This is for the dinner, we love their lunches too btw, but this is for right now, the DINNER! We ordered TO GO btw, 2 BOEUF BOURGUIGON & it comes with potato mousseline, celeriac, baby carrots & green beans & mushrooms. This was amazing! Literally fall apart beef that you can tell was cooked to get a sear then probably, cooked all day...fall apart! And the flavor! There were lardons in it, the potatoes were cooked to perfection!, it was perfect for this cold very rainy night we're having here in Santa Rosa! This comes with Pascaline's great bread and some delicious butter! Sooo incredible tasting! I ate everything as did my husband! We loved it! For dessert: my husband ordered the CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING. I tried it, it comes with creme anglais...it was incredible! I have never ever had a great bread pudding in my life but this was incredible! My dessert: a CHOCOLATE CREMEUX with brandied cherries...mmmm....so delicious. The flavor is incredible! If you go to the website, Chef Didier cooked in France, has a French accent (I think Chef is Basque) And you can tell, if you've been to great cuisine in France, Chef Didier & Pascaline are IT, they are now serving dinner a couple of days a week! You must try it! You will feel like you are in France!

Delicious avocado toast, pleasing atmosphere/not crowded for lunch on a weekday ... I will return. The salads looked amazing, for next time.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. The sandwich I ordered was delicious and reasonable. It was a beautiful afternoon so we sat at the tables outside but they have plenty of tables inside as well. Will be back.

A hidden treasure that I am so happy to find. I see most of the reviews are about the pastries, but we went for dinner. Having lived in France for 6 years, I usually lower my expectations when I visit a "French" restaurant in the states. We were greeted by a lovely team of waitstaff at the door. My dad immediately asked to change to a table instead of booth seating, which they accommodated graciously. As we perused the menu, it became difficult to choose what we were having for dinner. We watched a few entrees being brought out and noticed that the portions were quite generous, so we decided to skip the appetizers as we were all not incredibly hungry. Next time I will make a meal out of a couple of appetizers and I have to try their French Onion soup. My dad and I ordered the Beef Bourguignon, and his wife ordered the Flat Iron steak. As our pre dinner wine arrived, the chef/owner, Didier, came out to introduce himself and welcome us to his restaurant. It was obvious that Didier was happy to have us and we chatted about his 45 years of being a professional chef in many places of which I was familiar. After he went back in the kitchen, our waitress delivered a surprise "Amuse-gueule" of a Single coconut encrusted prawn with a bed of Frisée lettuce and edible flowers, lightly dressed. It was at this point we knew that we were in for a treat, or so we hoped. The entrees followed with a second glass of burgundy and the passion of the chef was on full display on our plates. Not only was the food well presented, it was absolutely satisfying. The vegetables were a mix of carrot, shallot, baby eggplant, beets, fennel, endive and radish, all cooked (not overcooked) to a perfect al dente, so you can taste each vegetable for their own flavor. This was the opening bite to the tender chunks of Beef Bourguignon served over a smooth potato mash. All of this filled our bellies so well, we were unable to order dessert. This was all served in a modern, yet very comfortable setting tucked out of the way near the bustle of Montgomery Village. I am reticent to leave a glowing review for fear that I won't be able to book a table in the future, but this is a gourmands delight. The prices are very reasonable, including the wine list. There is a $30 corkage fee if you choose to bring that 1961 Lafite Rothschild out of your cellar. I told Didier that we would be back, and in fact I am going over this morning to sample the Patisserie side of the Resto. Absolutely fabulous meal!! My photos will not do it justice. Edit: I went to Pascaline at 9am today and they were out of plain & almond croissants and lemon tarts....boohoo for me. I guess you have to be quick on Sunday morning, but an hour after opening?

Fantastic bakery and cafe. Used to go to Forestville location and now I don't have to drive as far! Yessss!

Amazing place with great owner and staff. The ambiance is simple, approachable and relaxed with attention to detail. I definitely recommend

All of it amazing! Food ambience etc. I highly endorse this gem of a place. It feels like walking into a cafe on Paris.

Cute bakery/cafe near Montgomery village shops. My friend and I both had the Cobb salad and I also had their peanut butter cookie. It was all great and it was nice and peaceful inside. Both indoor and outdoor seating available.

I finally made it to Pascaline this evening for a truly delightful French meal---Was feeling it during Tour de France season. The service and food were exceptional. Having spent the better part of my life eating out, this gem should not be missed. The apps, salad, and delicious Beef bourguignon were truly delightful. Excellent portions with perfectly prepared veggies. The menu is elegant and we can't wait to return. It is hidden OSAKE and the former Boy's Club in Montgomery Village. It impressed from top to bottom. The Ambiance was simple but charming.

Such a delightful find! A great place to hang out and enjoy the French vibe. The staff is so sweet.

To my surprise, there is dinner served here . I had been for their wonderful pastries at the old location in Forestville and was happy to see that they are now in the Montgomery Village neighborhood and added a dinner service. The food was really ,really good. Very fresh vegetables and so beautifully plated. Server was on it & the gracious chef came and checked in on us . Very reasonable prices on uber fresh ,farm to table Sonoma County style gem . I'm headed back with friends this weekend !

We sat outside for lunch and it was so pleasant. The weather was beautiful and the food was wholesome and delicious. The service was good as well and everyone was helpful. Their pastries were also very good and authentically French. Their soups were balanced and flavorful. The French Onion soup was excellent and aromatic. The kids liked their sandwiches too. It is pretty expensive for lunch but we really enjoyed it.

We can say - OUI! Try this bistro and patisserie! We've been several times to the morning patisserie and last night, we enjoyed dinner. Plates that let the flavor of the food shine, gracious service, and poppy covered walls, understated tables with upscale cutlery. You know you are in Santa Rosa but if more folks were speaking French here, you could easily pretend you were in France. Chefs Didier and Lynn work with an accomplished waitstaff to make you feel welcome. We tried the arancini to start. Eight perfect little rissotto balls of goodness with a small bit of salad and sauce to round out the dish. Try these! We then ordered the cabecou salad to share. Plenty here for one but easy to share. Toasted slices of Acme Bakery bread, slathered in warmed cabecou cheese paired with a salad of delicious greens and asparagus, topped with a light, flavorful vinaigrette. This is a wonderful salad. We ordered the halibut and the veal for main dishes. These did not disappoint, either. Halibut tender, light, melts in your mouth. Spring veggies with a tasty koskera sauce, we were impressed. The veal was lightly breaded and stuffed with just the right amount of chard and onions. Veal can quickly get to 'over-cooked' but not here. The meat was tender and full of flavor. A cannellini bean ragu and a delicious suite of spring veggies balance the plate. We truly enjoyed our dining out here. But if you get here during the day, pastries, breads and cakes are available with coffee or tea are not to be missed. All seemingly shipped in from Paris. But like Sarmentine down the road, these pastries were made right here in Santa Rosa. With Pascaline on the scene, Santa Rosa is really getting Frenched up!

A nice addition to the neighborhood as there are not many coffee/ bakery options in the Montgomery village area. The parking lot is small, but fortunately lots of neighborhood parking. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of sweet and savory options including a few gluten free baked treats! I've visited the West county location on a few instances and have enjoyed the baked goods.

Finally a patisserie/coffee shop in our neighborhood !! Delicious mouth watering sweet treats for everyone. We splurge with breakfast and had to try a bit of everything and it tastes as good as it looks or perhaps even better Great parking and street parking available. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend

Well I can't say how many times I've been here but it's only because the pastry's are delicious! The Almond Croissant is my favorite but the morning cake is my second choice. Very cute place to sit inside or outside... peaceful and inviting. Bistro food includes soup, salads, sandwiches even wine! Owners are super friendly and have done a great job in making this a quick stop for me to get my goodies on my way to work. Or maybe to just sit and relax over a cup of coffee and one of our favorite pastries as my husband and I do often

What a lovely and delightful French bakery! Having lived in France for a year, I'm always on the hunt for authentic baguettes and croissants and Pascaline delivers. The ambiance is gorgeous, quaint, and quiet. I could see how perfect this place would be to meet a friend for coffee or lunch or just dine solo with a great book. The service was friendly and the cafe was clean and bright. I heard they're also starting pop-up dinners too certain evenings of the month. I can't wait to return for pastries, lunch, dinner, or a great bread to accompany dinner! Merci Pascaline!

Pascàline always offers amazing seasonal food. The pastry is buttery and flakey always a good option

C'est parfait! The pastries during the day are THE BEST. Same as they were at the Seb. location and flawless. Dinner: Lovely French dishes with California flair. Croque Forestier was what I had, like a classic Madame/Monsieur but for vegetarians with spinach and mushrooms. The desserts were the stunning: chocolate gateau, cheesecake with fruit coulis, so good!

I go to school by here and every morning they'd be open at 8am. The almond croissant is so good and warm in the morning. The breakfast cake is also warm and tastes light and airy perfect for breakfast. Some may say it's a bit pricey but if you really think about it you're paying less at other bakeries but they're selling you packaged or day old goods. The workers are also very nice and the inside of the place is painted with flowers and nicely decorated. I definitely recommend this place!

Great find in Montgomery Village! Ham and Swiss quiche is SO good and the side salad is perfectly refreshing. Lovely little spot. 9 tables inside. Plus a large outdoor seating area. Very nice staff.

Thank you so much Chef Lynn!! Whatever she brings out of the kitchen is absolute perfection. Can't wait to come back!

Ordered the ham and cheese quiche. The filling was good. The crust was AWFUL. A solid thick burnt crust that was tasteless. So disappointed. I was expecting a light flakey buttery crust. This wasn't it.

Lovely place for lunch or breakfast. Food is high quality and feels like you had a friend make you something lovely in their French garden kitchen. The day I was there was mainly women alone or with friends and it was so warm and inviting and felt like I was treating myself and all my senses loved it.

Came in early Saturday morning for some pastries. I got a few croissants and some breakfast pastries, zero problem with the food. Everything was flaky and buttery. The front of the house customer service lady was busy training a new employee, so zero acknowledgement while I was standing there. The back of the house baker came out with some fresh pastries, zero acknowledgement also. Is this what invisible man feels like? I'm not asking much just a "I will be right with you" will do. By the way they only have drip coffee, it would be nice if they had some expresso drinks.

Pleasantly surprised by freshness, quality and quantity of the sandwich and salad we ordered. My husband loved the turkey cranberry sandwich. I was very happy with the Cobb Salad with lots of fixings. Definitely going back

Pretty good food and realty great service and ambiance. We like the quiche and salad. The first time I went, the quiche side salad was very skimpy and the second time it was almost as large as a full salad meal. I wish they had more soup options besides just the French onion - there are some pretty mean French soups out there and would love to see them on the menu.
