Cafe Jolie

Wow!! Soo good!! What a cute location, great food, great service! The food was fantastic - the beignets were a delight and the spinach, mushroom, bacon and cheese omelette was maybe the best omelette I've ever had. The breakfast potatoes were cooked just right as well!My only critique is that the black coffee tasted a little burnt but otherwise the experience here was superb!

Was in the Alameda area and needed a quick brunch spot. This was suggested and it was a nice place.We had to wait a bit to get served, the coffee was great and my breakfast that I ordered was ok . Not sure if it had been sitting but everything was either lukewarm or cold. Another annoying thin was I I would of thought to be served 2 slices of bread with breakfast but it was one, sliced in half. You know I am not a thin boy ;-) so that said I think the skimpiness on the bread just bummed me out, a long with having to wait like 10 min after seated to be approached with menus. I get that they were busy. But if you seat someone with menus, you should not have them wait so long. And lastly to have food that is lukewarm, that is just not the best, especially eggs. If I was back in the Alameda area and was not in a rush I would come back. It really is a nice ambiance, with nice HOT coffee and nice servers and good food.

The food is delicious but there is always a wait. Which is why I gave them 4 stars and not 5. The food is incredible but pack your patience when you come because the wait to get a table is on average a good 15 mins and then to get your food takes awhile as well. I would say like 6 years ago this wasn't an issue but now that everyone knows this restaurant is an excellent breakfast spot the wait can be frustrating. This cute French inspired restaurant is nicely decorated with French paintings and has outdoor options as well if you'd like to bring your pet. Perfect place for breakfast or lunch options. Parking is available near by but can be challenging.

Sunday brunch with the girls is what I was needing and what Cafe Jolie made a reality! From exceptional customer service to blissful food in your mouth, they don't disappoint. There's a bit of a wait especially because it's so popular but it's worth every minute. Our group was seated outdoors (was waitlisted for both indoor & outdoor) and loved catching up over drinks while we waited. I had an Arnold Palmer and some of the girls had lattes. Our food came out hot and fresh but we were so hungry we barely took a beat to snap photos. I loved my Monte Cristo so much but keep in mind they only serve it as a sweet option; not both sweet (with powdered sugar & syrup) and savory (with lettuce and tomato) like most places do. Nevertheless I had a fabulous time and will return in a heart beat. What's not to love?

Fabulous experience! Came on a Friday morning and was already fully packed. Service was fast and the interior had a welcoming and clean French-esque ambiance. Food was stellar! Usually brunch feels overly greasy and heavy, but my Jolie's Mix breakfast plate was perfect. But the star of the show was the beignets--SO AIRY and FLUFFY. Just the perfect amount of crisp. I would come back again just for the beignets. We got a half order and it already came with 8 pieces. Overall it has become my #1 Alameda brunch spot.

This is a nice, cute & comfy spot to go and have a good meal. I like to come here for breakfast and lunch. Good food, service is friendly, really quaint feel & ambience. I definitely recommend for a date, family, and/or just a place to take a friend! Enjoy!

Pregnancy cravings satisfied! My goodness. It makes sense why there is a line of folks waiting to be seated here. Food lived up to my eyes and tummy's desires! Tastebuds were happy and overall service was swift enough! Definitely glad I got to split the meal with my friend - so we enjoyed the crab Benedict first and had the croissant french toast after. Both dishes were executed the way I expected based on photos and I couldn't have walked away happier. A very nice feel inside - local restaurant with no frills - just good food!

Super cute little brunch spot in Alameda. Came in as a part of 4 around 10am on a Sunday and waited about 15 mins for a table. I ordered a lavender latte and the Monte Cristo. Outside of Disneyland I only know of one other place in the Bay Area that has the Monte Cristo so of course I needed to try it. It came with potatoes that were divine, seasoned incredibly well and piping hot. The sandwich was superb, the breading on it was light so it didn't seem too heavy which is mince but also you're able to eat the whole thing without feeling super full after. The lavender latte was also delicious and I have found it super hard to find a good lavender latte so that was a big bonus. Definitely a great option if you're in the area!

This was just a brutal experience. The beignets were all air and no dough, nothing like what beignets should be. My monte cristo was cold on the inside and had to send it back, then when it came back it was more burnt than toasted and the fries were like corral rocks. Service was fine, they can only control so much. But the overall freshness and quality was really really lacking here. I wouldn't be recommending this to any friends or family.

First time visiting Cafe Jolie and this place did not disappoint. It was a such a beautiful sunny day, so decided to eat somewhere where we can enjoy the sun and this whole restaurant is outside. We were seated right away and got to sit closer the kitchen, so we got to see the chefs preparing all the delicious food. Our server was extremely friendly and funny and made us feel welcomed. We did not have to wait long for our order and all our food was delicious. If I was going to make any complaints, it would be that my chai latte and my daughters matcha tea latte was way too milky; we could barely taste chai or the matcha. We definitely will be back though!
