Cafe Le Reve

10 stars. An absolute gem. Wow, wow, wow. Ludovic and family are just the most delightful, warm, thoughtful people you will ever meet in your life. My wife and I recently lost our home and everything we own in the fires of Altadena. Our evac location was near Perris. We were looking for something artistic, unique, comforting, intimate. Man oh man, did we hit gold. The food, service, care and attention we received this afternoon at Cafe Le Reve was as memorable as it gets. Conversation, presentation, quality of food, service. True love, passion and artistry here with all of the dishes. Just... lovely. To the 9th degree, lovely. Monsieur Ludovic, nous sommes reconnaissants pour votre générosité, votre chaleur, votre conversation et votre talent artistique. Ma famille et moi sommes incroyablement reconnaissants envers vous tous. Tu nous as donné la lumière dans un temps d'obscurité. Merci, merci.We look forward to returning under positive circumstances! Best of continued success!

La MerChoice of crab cake or smoked salmon with poached egg(s) & hollandaise sauce on toasted croissant.Fresh Pastry BoardAlmond, chocolate, plain croissants, muffin, butter & jam.I ordered the Benedict, one of each of above. Both were perfectly delicious and needed no other seasoning or sauce. All the pastries were fresh! This place is by reservation only as space is limited. All staff were attentive both over the phone and in person.

Came to this cafe for the first time this morning and loved it! Important to note, it is RESERVATION ONLY. However, my family and i did not know at the time we came in and asked if they had availability and they kindly seated us. But I can imagine on busier mornings it would be important to make a reservation as the cafe has only about 5 tables. We tried the salmon tartine, strawberry and cream crepe, and omelette le reve and they were all very delicious. I also really enjoyed my vanilla latte and the coffee was great as well! I really appreciated the service and attention to detail. The ambience was quiet and relaxed. Happy to have this cutie cafe in the neighborhood and definitely plan to return!

Food: I've never been to France but I assume this is what French brunch would taste like, warm soft and heavenly! Starting with hazelnut capuccino, it was generous amount of foam on top with sweet gold liquud of coffee on the bottom. French toast was yummy and drenched in syrup and ooey gooey just like how I like it. The egg in sandwich was super pillowy and mixed very well with subtle taste of brie cheese. My personal favorite dish was steak eggs benedict, cooked to perfect medium rare and melted right down in my mouth with it's juicy tender goodness. They accidentally made an extra creme brulee, which we fortunately got to taste and it was amazing with crunchy sugar top and soft vanilla cream filling underneath!Price: see attached brunch menu for detailed pricing. They offer half portion and full portion options, which I really liked, so we can try out more food items even with less people. I'd say that the pricing was very reasonable for the quality and amount of food/drink we got here, I was way too full when we left hahaAmbiance: cute little corner cafe with only about 4-5 tables inside and 1-2 tables outside. Clean and cozy vibes, great to come with friends or partner for great brunch. This place is reservation only! I did call early in the morning, on the day of, and was able to secure 12:30pm spot. I showed up a bit early around like 11:40am, but they graciously seated us without having to wait too longService: great service, the owner was a nice lady with cute French baret, she explained the specials and took our order. Other waiters including a young woman who got our coffee and tea was very patient with us and friendly and welcoming too. We were told initially that food may take a while, but honestly it didn't even seem like too much of a waitParking: lots of free outdoor parking lot right next to the cafe within the big mall complex, had no trouble finding a spot!

You would not beReve that such an amazing French cafe could be found in Riverside but here we are, at Cafe Le Reve.First thing you should know is that you HAVE to make a reservation to dine here, almost no exceptions at all. So call ahead of time (even if it's day of) and see if you can snag a spot. Couldn't think of a better place to treat my girlfriend out without breaking the bank (but don't tell her that).Anyway, onto the food and drink:I opted for a hazelnut cappuccino and phew, it was amazing, not too sweet, but still rich, and gave me my caffeine fix for the day.The Brioche french toast was so good, you don't need to ask for syrup. It was so sweet as is and honestly the cheaper, smaller, portion is more than enough for brunch. It was so subtly sweet and yummy I inhaled it pretty quick.The Egg and brie croissant sandwich was amazing too, namely because the egg is so fluffy, the brie is melted so wonderfully, and the croissant is unlike any croissant I've had before. The croissant is bun shaped! It's simple but works so well. Our favorite was the Steak Benedict though cause who wouldn't want filet mignon on eggs benedict with a croissant bun instead of english muffin? Yeah. The filet mignon was cooked so tenderly, the entire benedict just, phew, can't describe how much I couldn't stop eating despite being so full. The pave potatoes and tomato provencal are a nice, flavorful side to offset all that protein you're taking in. So you think we've had enough? Wrong. The cook made a creme brulee that was to die for. My girlfriend and I had to compete and eat as much as we could before it was all gone. Best part is that the creme brulee was originally a birthday item for a different party but they decided to kindly gift it to us anyway.Anyway, I've rambled enough, but this place is definitely a must try cause the food is amazing, service is precious, and the overall vibes are just so cute and cozy. If you eat here, be sure to just soak in the atmosphere and eat at a steady pace, no one is rushing anybody, not even the wait staff.

Food:I tried the sliders, and I liked that there were three different types to try. The beef slider was definitely the best, while the vegan one was still good but my least favorite of the three. My friend had an omelette with fries on the side (sides are a dollar extra), and both were tasty. Nothing mind-blowing, but everything was enjoyable and fresh.Service:The service was great! They are really friendly and attentive. One thing I appreciated was how they explained menu items that weren't listed but were available to order, which was super helpful. We didn't have a reservation, but since we came early, they seated us right away because there were open tables.Ambiance:The restaurant was clean, small, and had a nice interior. It wasn't overly fancy or overdone, just cozy and welcoming. It was perfect for a casual meal.

If I could do 4.5 stars on Yelp, I probably would because I'm so conflicted! Cafe Le Reve is undoubtedly my favorite brunch in the Riverside/Moreno Valley area, BUT the prices are steep. I am obsessed with the truffle fries and everything we've eaten has been perfectly cooked--from eggs to omelettes to hollandaise... The cafe is tiny! I love the flavors here (and have been here several times to try different dishes), but have found it hard to comeback because of prices.

A delicious French breakfast spot in the Mission Grove area. I was really impressed with their croque madame and their brioche French toast in particular. The food is fresh, very well done, and full of flavors. Service was good but one thing to note is that reservations are usually required. Restaurant is a bit small but was clean and nicely decorated. Can't wait to try more of their menu!

Excellent food. Authentic French. Unique offerings. Sweet staff. Yum!Plenty of parking...pleasant atmosphere

The food is so well prepared you feel like you are in Paris.The croque madaam, crepes, and insane brioche French toast are to die for!I called in both times before opening time and was able to get seated.They play French music and even say merci
