FAQ:
Do you accept reservations? No, we don't! We are first come, first serve.
Where should we park? Street parking on Elm Street is 2 hour and free. Lewis Street also offers additional free 2 and 4 hour parking. And, there is a paid parking lot at the end of Lewis Street, if needed! There is a handicap spot right around the corner from us on Bain Street.
Do you offer Gluten Free options? We do! All of our egg dishes can be GF (if you take away the toast!), and all of our salads and dressings are gluten free. AND, almost all of our desserts are gluten free. We also offer several vegetarian options. Vegan is much harder to do and stay true to our French concept though, so we don't have many options in that area!
Where do we tip? You don't! In keeping with French tradition, we are tip free. Our staff are all paid a living wage, so our best thanks is a kind review or friendly smiles and compliments.
When are you going to open for dinner? As of now, it's not in our plan! We love being breakfast and lunch and keeping our space free in the evenings for private parties, events, or workshops! Once a month; however, we break tradition and host a dinner on the First Friday. Each dinner has a different meal that is highlighted and announced ahead of time on our Facebook and Instagram accounts.
