Review by Ewald Rodriguez

September 15, 2024

I recently visited French Crust Café and Bistro for brunch with my grandmother, and it was delightful! 🥐 The quiche was superb, paired perfectly with a refreshing mimosa. I opted for the scrambled egg croissant, which was wonderfully flaky and flavorful.

The atmosphere is trendy yet cozy, perfect for a leisurely meal. Our server, Billy, was incredibly friendly and even shared some fascinating stories about the restaurant's history. I highly recommend the baked Camembert - it’s decadent!

Just a heads up, it can get a bit crowded, so be prepared for some noise. Can’t wait to go back! 🇫🇷✨
