"This is such a great spot to have a quick bite and get your morning coffee! I really enjoy their outdoor tables and the dining space here. I love grabbing a book to read sitting outside because they have lots of tables available. Their salmon crepe is my favorite here, and I love how soft their crepe batter is. The iced vanilla soy latte is my go-to here, and everything tastes delicious."
"This cafe is a great choice for me simply because of all of the options. If you feel like breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they got it covered. The breakfast options are great, comes in large portions, and is cooked well. There is a back patio to sit in, an inside area, and a few tables outside in front, so there is almost always a place to sit. It gets a little spotty when it comes to service. You take a number to your table and then they bring the food and drinks to you. With this style of service you can easily get forgotten. They may never come refill your water, and used tables can get left unwiped or uncleaned. There are bussing tubs out back, so sometimes customers will put their own dishes in those tubs. So essentially we bus our own tables, and have to ask for refills, or more napkins, or anything like that. They're not really smiley welcoming staff, which is kind of a bummer since it's essentially a brunch place (yes they service champagne). The prices are also high, so I would like to get more table service since we're paying high prices like a place that has waiters. They're dependable and the food is good. I even ordered a cappuccino and it was excellent. It does is purpose, but still has room for improvement."

"This is the best local coffee shop around, with fantastic baked goods made at their other store and homemade breakfast. And they roasted their own coffee beans as well!"
"I have sat down twice and ordered take out twice. I get gluten free and so far everything I've had is delicious. Crepes, burgers, sandwiches so far"
"Great place to come after a visit at Stanford. I would highly recommend this place for the best chai you have ever had! Also the crepes are delicious and good size! You have to try the savory crepes but don't forget the sweet for dessert! We will definitely make this a regular spot for breakfast or lunch!"
"Very good selection of breakfast / brunch menu. All the items are named after European soccer teams. Quantity and item selection is good.Service is good but we were here when it was mostly empty. The ambiance is very casual and feels like a neighborly joint."
"Service here is great. Our waitress came by to check on us couple times to make sure everything's good. Food came out fairly quick. The interior gives me a nostalgic feeling of the 2000s :)Would come back more often since it's close by and the food portion was huge."

Great place to have coffee or lunch. Had a café latte with oat milk. Very good ! Also, ordered pastries which were delicious too. What makes Douce France Cafe so special is the whole package. You have good food, inside or outside sitting areas, and boutique shopping afterwards. Service is good but it can get crowded most of the time. It is a popular local spot ! This is my wife and I's local go to for a morning breakfast and shopping. If you are thinking of lunch, they have a good array of options but more cafè style then restaurant style. Depending on the day and time you should be prepared to not find a table. Keep this in mind so when a table becomes available, you might want to have your friend or family member sit while you place the order. Outside of this, prices are reasonable and ambiance is like a local Paris cafè !

Quality is not the same now as my review from 2011. I hear they changed owners since we moved from Pacifica. Certainly not worth the price--portions were half what they used to be and the crepe had a strange sauce (tomato-garlicky) that I didn't care for. That being said, I hope they do well; the restaurant business is tough but to be fair the food here is not what it used to be. Side note: Last fall, I was in London for a quick trip; on every block there was a Turkish breakfast place!--the food was cheap(er) AND plentiful, healthy and delicious. I am dreaming aloud now--what if this would become a trend in the Bay Area. Not every place needs to be a creperie.

Gluten free crepes! Need I say more? My dad always talked about coming here for a meal on his lunch break when working for the city and now I know why! The chicken pesto crepe is so delicious and the staff was very kind. The open air outdoor seating was refreshing even on a hot day.

Had an amazing experience a few weeks ago at Bistro Maxine! This place reminds me of a cute French cafe with their outdoor seating ambiance and delicious crepes.We came here around 1PM on Saturday for a late coffee and brunch. There was luckily no wait even though we came on a Saturday and got a great table outside with an umbrella.For drinks, we ordered a chai latte and a hot chocolate. Both drinks really hit the spot! I was really impressed by how pretty they looked as well. We ordered a crepe and French toast in the mean time.The food was really tasty. I loved that they both looked so pretty and tasted just as good. This place has the perfect French cafe vibes and I highly recommend coming here for coffee and/or brunch!!

Small hole in the wall place but finally my daughter wanted a crempe so we took the opportunity to give it a shot and I must say this spot was amazing! The crempe was amazing my child absolutely loved it and she is a picky eater. The service was fast and staff is super friendly! My biggest regret now is not having gave this spot a shot earlier. Delicious food and for sure coming back for more!

This spot is a familiar place for locals, thus its warming when you think of this spot.AMBIANCE:Parking: Plaza parking. You really shouldn't have an issue finding a spot.Seating: Inside seating great for pairs and small/large groups.Vibes: Welcome to Evergreen! It's nothing too flashy, no downtown but a pretty diverse suburban area. The restaurant itself is split into two, a pub and an inn. Nothing too flashy, your usual restaurant with retro designs. You're welcomed with the sounds of the hustle and bustle and customers chatting. Great place if you want to keep things lowkey.FOOD:California Scramble (Recommend)A lovely medley of eggs, broccoli, mushroom, cheese, and hollandaise sauce. A good portion of veggies making it savory and healthy. A side it hash browns gave it some extra comfort.CUSTOMER SERVICE:Awesome! We had Emily (not the owner) as our server and she professional and friendly.TL; DR OVERALL:4.5 Stars. This place has a special place in my heart and I'm sure for many locals. The food is good, the portions are great, all at a reasonable price. Whenever I'm home, these are comforting spots that makes Evergreen, Evergreen. Thank you to Hector, Emily and the rest of the team for their work!TIPS:*Undecided? Check out the owner's specials or ask the workers

Enjoyed Visiting this cafe spot. its in a nice neighborhood, plenty of parking. the Venue is spacious, seating is well spaced. Coffee is Fresh and super hot ( needed for cold winters in CA). Can't wait to try other enticing things on the menu. Definitely a nice place to enjoy coffee and chat with friends and study.

"I love this coffee shop's maple scone, strawberry scone, and cinnamon latte. The service is good. The atmosphere could be improved, but it's still a nice spot to visit."
"I was lucky enough to travel to Paris for school and enjoy the street corner prepared crepes. Fast forward, in San Carlos, a large and explosion filled crepe has arrived! Need to order over the phone or their screen. I did not see a cashier box. Large servings. In and outside seating. Clean restroom. Wonderful!"
"Came for a walk at Oakridge mall and finally decided to give this place a try. The taste was delicious and soft! I cannot wait to come back again for a sweet tooth !"
"5 starsEl Churrito Loko is such a gem! Whether you're craving sweet or savory, their crepes are absolutely delicious. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind. We went on a Saturday evening and were pleasantly surprised by the fun games they offer, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is perfect for hanging out with friends or family. I can't imagine a better way to spend the evening. Highly recommend!"
"Stumbled in here while waiting for my order next door at Highland Noodles- turns out that brothers both own each establishment! There was a plethora of dumplings and traditional Chinese handcrafted desserts to choose from. I was also offered a few different samples of desserts that all brought back some fond childhood memories.I ended up buying a box of the red bean mochi, the peanut crunch pastry, and the beef biscuits (total came out to be a little over $37). The quality and freshness of the desserts really stood out on top of the authenticity to what you would get if you bought these in the streetcarts of China. I had to share with my parents and we all really enjoyed the snacks. Can't wait to come back and try some more!"
"Been loving crepes for almost a decade and I haven't found my new favorite place in years, but this place might be it! FOOD: Ordered the Happy Sweet Nutella and it was everything I would hope for! A big crepe that did not skim out on fruit (both inside and on top), which I haven't seen at any legit brunch place in the south bay I've been to so far. The batter itself was good and wasn't soggy--a good balance of crisp and softness. There was also a lot of Nutella inside, but not so much that it was overwhelming. Also, a small cup of chocolate syrup was given on the side. Overall, 5/5! SERVICE: My boyfriend did all the interaction and he said the lady was super sweet and friendly. The food was made within 5 mins, so very quick! They also accept cash or card. LOCATION: It's located in a small plaza with its own parking lot. It was a bit difficult to find since it's not a typical shop or restaurant. You'd see a few bulletin boards, which will have the shop's menu on there as well as others restaurants. Then you'll see a door with a small doorbell. It looked closed, but you just have to ring the doorbell and someone will come and take your order!"
"Love their crepe and fun drinks The service is good too You should try it The ambience is wonderful"
"Crepe cravings fixed this past Sunday thanks to Crepes Bistro. I went with the Chicken Fajita crepe and a cup of coffee. Friendly smiling folks as we entered from the back. There's street parking in front but in case you missed it, there's plenty of street parking in the back. I don't eat a lot of crepes but this is the first time I've ordered a crepe that has been sliced. Loved it. The portion and quality, amazing. I did experience a slight hiccup on my coffee order. I was given a latte instead of a coffee, I drank it and was fine. Will be back!"
"We got sat down quickly, got drinks right away and served our fresh crepes. They were delicious and cooked perfect. The hot chocolate was amazing and in such a cute cup! Will definitely be coming back here to try other items on the menu!"
