Cafe Parisian

What a great way to do Sunday! I caneOut of Mass totally starved and basic pancakes were not going to cut it. I was finally able to get back to this lovely cafe Bistro and had a great breakfast. I ordered the Steak Au Povrie with French fries. The steak was a healthy portion and it was cooked to my medium rare perfection. It was tender and tasty in its peppercorn gravy- so delicious! I could only eat half and got a to go box for the rest- because after all, I needed to have some dessert. I had the Charlotte Cake- if you like chocolate, this is the real deal. You can taste the high quality chocolate used in the ingredients. I washed it all down with a cappuccino containing a double shot of espresso- and let me tell you, the coffee was excellent. Do make a trip to check this place out and support El Paso businesses! Bon Jour!

Great little cafe.Tip: Try to go early, you will get first dibs at the pastries and beat the rush.Really good coffee and the eggs in my omelette were the fluffiest I've had.They use a lot of their in house sourdough for sandwiches. Like the delicious chimichurri seasoned steak sandwich my kids split. If you get in early enough, try to cruffin (yes! croissant and muffin). The one we were lucky to get was stuffed with apples and topped with a creme. It was great with my latte.The place is small. When we got here around noon on a Sunday it was crowded. There were folks waiting outside and inside for the next table. We sat and waited in the passage way to the bathroom and storage. And it was tight as as staff tried to pull chairs and move through there to get to the store room or bathroom.It is nice if you can sit outside on a nice day, like it was on Sunday. The staff were nice and attentive, but I hope this place will slow down as it stays open longer. Similarly, since theyvhave linit d in house pastries...id Ben interested to see them bake more to meet the demand.We will prob be back. I'd bring my family here if they were in town and looking for that European cafe feel for sure.

I found Cafe Parisian a couple of weeks ago after grabbing lunch nearby, and even though I was stuffed, I couldn't resist trying their chocolate croissant. It was amazing--super flaky, buttery, and just a perfect little treat. That first bite had me hooked, so I came back for a proper breakfast, and it did not disappoint!The vibe here is super cozy and cute, perfect for brunch. They're open till 3 PM and have three menus: breakfast, lunch, and a weekend brunch menu. You can order from the menu or pick something tasty from their display case.I tried the Croque Madame this time, and it was gorgeous! It came with a surprise side of tomato soup, which I was thrilled about because I've been craving some. The sandwich had a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg on top and was super filling. The soup was tangy with a unique touch of basil seeds. Both needed a little salt, but that's easy to fix with salt on the table.I also grabbed a freshly baked French baguette to take home. While the crust was a bit tougher than the ones in France, it was still really good. I love that we have a local spot offering French-style breads, tarts, croissants, and more.The decor is adorable, the service is great, and it's family-friendly, so it's a nice spot to relax. Parking is a bit of a challenge with all the construction in the area, and prices are a little high (about $30+ for a coffee, meal, and bread). But for the quality and atmosphere, it's totally worth it for a special brunch outing.Can't wait to go back and try their lunch menu! Pro Tip: Arrive early for better parking and don't miss checking out the display case for goodies to take home! -TODOELPASO

Went to Cafe Parisian for lunch today and the onion soup was delicious!!!! My daughter ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup and she loved it. Their bread is out of this world and they used it for the sandwich and as croutons on my onion soup. We both ordered cappuccinos and as always, they were delicious. Can't leave without mentioning the amazing service and the incredible ambiance of this place.

My husband and I came for what would be a quick pick up of pastries and come home but we were pleasantly surprised that it was an actual sit down bistro. It was Saturday morning around 10am. It was quite busy but we were sat right away. Service was excellent and quick. We ordered mimosas. I just wanted to try the croissants (which all looked very tempting) and my husband ordered the French omelette. Aside from the food and service the aesthetics of the restaurant, it was beautiful and simple. Overall we were very pleased and can not wait to return.

We showed up on a Sunday right when they opened. I was expecting to see a case full of bread and pastries. Everything was empty except a couple of baguettes. The servers seemed confused, rushed. Nobody was greeting anyone. It was kinda chaotic. BUT I want to say the restaurant had only recently opened and I'm hoping it's better. Haven't been back since. It's a beautiful spot and outdoor seating is nice.

Everybody was nice, and the presentation was great. But 18$ for French toast and lattes with no flavor is why this rating. It's a nice place but people can only afford to visit once instead of being a regular.

This cute, little cafe was packed when I went in to purchase pastries. The croissants were made from authentic, laminated dough - not the best I've ever had, but certainly respectable, especially for El Paso. We tried a variety, and the ham and Swiss were our favorite. Service was as expected for a hopping joint - a bit slow but friendly all the same. Coffee drinks looked and smelled wonderful, although I didn't try on my quick visit. I'd say this is a nice place to share breakfast or brunch with a friend you haven't seen in a while and want to linger a bit and enjoy the company. Would not try to bring a large group! It's pretty intimate, which makes it so refreshing for an El Paso establishment.

Croissants are are point of debate I realize... Cafe Parisian has done a nice job of ranking them as number one in El Paso for croissants in my list I'd recommend asking them to heat your croissant so you get that warm crispness on the outside and the buttery soft layers on the inside. I've had the regular croissant and we bought a giant loaf of sourdough from them. The "real" food menu does seem a little overpriced for this area and I don't know that $18 omelettes will go over well. On that note, I don't mind paying a little more for a good croissant but the best croissants I've had outside of Paris were in San Francisco and from their current menu are $4.75 for plain, $5.75 for chocolate, and $6.75 for chocolate almond so hopefully Cafe Parisian won't price things so high people don't come. I'd love to see them succeed!

Husband and I was looking for a brunch spot and I randomly picked this place and I'm glad I did! The food was delicious! Staff were nice and attentive. The place was clean and aesthetically pleasing. Wish there were more beverage selection for coffee/tea but place was nice! Glad we checked it out,
