Cafe Jolie Petit

This is a really cute little place, outside seating in a tent. Came here with my best friends and my husband. We shared the half order of beignets $14.50. Light and delicious! For brunch, I ordered the Monte Cristo $16.50 with Fruit upgrade $3. I was really happy with it, it came with a nice side of preserves.The rest of the group ordered Croque Madame $16.50, Croque Monsieur $15.50, Tofu Scramble $15.50, and La Campagne Omlette $16.50, Everyone was very happy with their choices. We had a wonderful conversation and a delightful time.

The place was super cute and the service was a 10/10 - all the staff were super nice. Special shout out to Gabriella, they were friendly, attentive and just so nice. Unfortunately, the food was just not on par with the service. Except for the coffee, everything was not hot. The cheese on top of the Croque Madame was already congealed into a layer of chewy mess while the egg underneath was undercooked. Part of the egg white was still translucent. The béchamel on the side was lukewarm and could really use some salt. The bénignes caused serious confusion. There's just no flavor - of anything. The bénigne itself was not hot, and we ate it right as it arrived. It just tasted like the oil that it was fried in. Dipping it in the chocolate sauce and somehow, it did not taste like chocolate. It just didn't taste like anything, and it was not worth the calories. Drip coffee was surprisingly good, the potatoes were good and the service was awesome. Try it for yourself, results may vary.

The food was on point and the Monte Cristo was amazingly delicious. It's like an upgraded French toast with melted cheese sandwich with meat slices all combined. So good! You have to try it unless you're dairy free, vegan, and gluten free. We went for Sunday lunch and it was a nice ambiance as they had some tents of other pop up stores along with a French musician duo. It was a little windy and so it can feel cold - so dress in layers as they have only outdoor seating after all. The 3 stars instead of 5 stars is due to a negative service experience. We were second in line with a total of three parties in line waiting to be seated. They greeted and were preparing table for the first party, but then proceeded to greet and seat the third party immediately - seems like the server knew them personally. This is unprofessional as there's a line after all and why were we treated this way? We hope this can be prevented next time or continued incidences like this is going to cause some issues. As far as I've checked and checked again, there is no reservation in place. Even if the server has a reason, it would be most appropriate to greet us and then have our table prepared, and it's fine if they have table ready for the third party if their size matches a table better. Just be professional.

I was looking forward to eating here at their 2nd location because I like the one on Webster, but I was really disappointed. I ordered the avocado toast which was pretty simple. I could have done better at home. My granddaughter order the mac 'n cheese which was really bad and had to be returned. Both the texture and taste were off. She replaced with a cheese burger that was slopped with tons of mayonnaise which we tried to take off but it was just really disappointing and inedible. We paid our bill and left and will not be back. Perhaps they need a new chef?

I drive past this cafe every single day, curious about these shipping lovely painted shipping containers that claim to be a restaurant, and an outdoor one at that. I finally had a chance to dine here for a work breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. It had a unique, fun Bay Area sort of vibe with a touch of hipster coolness. There is no indoor dining but the tables were under tents. Somehow, it worked.There were many of us so as I peered down the table, everyone's food looked well presented and I didn't hear any complaints. Several of my seat neighbors, including myself, ordered the Crabcake Benedict. I also requested a little extra of the Hollandaise sauce and some fruit. Everything on my plate looked fresh and well presented. I was pleased. I also had a hot tea with milk. A lovely way to start the day!I'm not a Crabcake connoisseur as crab is something I rarely veer towards. I enjoyed it but I didn't love it. The texture was sort of like as if I had canned tuna. I'm not saying this is comparable to something canned, just the texture. And it was a little bit salty. My poached eggs was perfect. And the English muffin on the bottom was nice. The potatoes were delish too! A respectably well made breakfast!I'd like to come back and try other menu items sometime. Now that I know the unique loveliness of this spot that is a bit set apart in an office park, I can't wait for a return visit.Truly, a wonderful spot to start a work day!

If you live on Bay Farm, this is such a fun place to walk or ride your bike to enjoy a weekend brunch date. Tucked away in the industrial park, the shipping containers fit right in with the modern aesthetic of the area. Don't be fooled by "petit" in this pop-up collaboration...Although there is a walk-up to-go counter to order pastries and coffee, there is also a full-scale restaurant service with covered outdoor tables for the whole family (and dog!) to enjoy. Between frequent visits, I have probably tasted 75% of the menu - I have yet to try anything I wouldn't order again! My favorites include the croque madame, monte cristo, and la campagne omelette. The country potatoes are well-seasoned and my go-to side order. The lavender cocktail is almost too pretty to drink. On my way out, it's a tradition to grab a dirty iced chai and pistachio donut for the road.

Came here for a team breakfast. The server was okay. One of my coworker's drink was forgotten and it came with caffeine instead of decaf (unless she's super sensitive). The flat white was a bit too milky for my preference. Presentation would be impressive if they did art with the milk pour. The crab cake egg benedicts were great though! Easy parking as well.

Such a cute little breakfast spot! The buildings are made from containers which is a really cool concept. They only offer outdoor dining with tents and covers so weather really does play a role if you want to dine here. My friend and I started off with a flat white and caramel latte. My coffee had a hair and lint in it so I flagged our server and he brought me a new one. The caramel syrup is already sweet so you might want to cut back on the sugar. I also had the Monte Cristo with potato salad and I loved my dish! My friend got the eggs Benedict and she really enjoyed her dish. Overall, it's worth checking out. The staff are super nice and you can also bring your dogs!

Date: 5/12/2024 Time: 11:30 AM 63° SunnyMy daughter asked me where I wanted to dine at for Mother's Day. Because I received an email from Yelp, and Cafe Jolie Petit was mentioned, and I have never been here, I figure why not?I like the fact that this pop up was a quiet place away from the the busy Park Street shopping and dining area. Outdoor dining in their patio suited us fine. However, I was somewhat disappointed that they ran out of lemonade for an Arnold Palmer. How does an outdoor restaurant run out of lemonade before 12:30 PM? I settled for an iced coffee with half 'n half. Perusing the menu I decided to have the croque madame. Croque Madame is a Croque Monsieur with a fried egg on top and included a side of country potatoes and béchamel sauce. The bread is thick, and filled with thinly sliced ham and Gruyere cheese. It was edible, but not something to write home about to mom. The cost was not worth the value. ($16.50, tax not included). Overall, the lunch was okay. My daughter had the Monte Cristo. She said her Monte Cristo was okay. Their special for today was the chorizo scramble. I ordered the special to go. I can only hope it is delicious.The wait time was 40 minutes to be seated. Hostess apologized for the long wait. Our waiter was pleasant and friendly. Service was prompt. Inasmuch as I wanted to give this restaurant a four star rating, I just am not able to do so. Future visit: Might then might not. The location is out in the "boonies". Too far to travel when I don't drive.

I took my mom out for Mother's Day brunch to Cafe Jolie Petit, as she likes the food at the original and wanted to check out this second location. Since it was Mother's Day, there was a 40-minute wait. 40 minutes to sit in a clear tent with umbrellas, surrounded by shipping containers. Well, except on the street side, where you no doubtingly look like a fish in a tank to the cars rolling by. If that wasn't an awesome ambiance for you, the departing Southwest Airlines and United Airlines planes would fill the void of you not actually sitting in a restaurant with walls and a ceiling.If you love outdoor seating or just the feeling of a fancier parklet, then this might be your spot. The food was decent, I had the Monte Cristo, and mom had the Croque Madame. It wasn't anything to write home about. I had the lavender latte, and mom wanted an Arnold Palmer, but they were out of lemonade. Which only added to the disappointment, as a great deal of the non alcoholic beverages are made with lemonade. Service was good. The server was friendly and quick, considering how busy it was. I'd give this place a solid 3.5. It's worth a visit if you work in the area, but not a destination.
