Walking into Cafe Du Soleil felt like stepping into a little pocket of warmth and charm. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles, making us feel right at home. Their service was attentive yet relaxed--exactly what you want in a café where you can linger and enjoy the moment.The ambiance was just as inviting, with rustic wooden tables, soft lighting, and the perfect level of background chatter. It's the kind of place that makes you want to settle in with a good book or share a meal with someone special.Now, let's talk about the food--because wow. I ordered the Florentine Quiche, and let's just say there's no picture of my dish because I devoured it before I even thought about taking one! The crust was flaky perfection, and the filling was a rich, creamy blend of eggs, spinach, and cheese that melted in my mouth. Paired with a beautifully spiced Chai Latte, it was the kind of meal that just made my whole morning better.My partner went for the Chicken Sandwich and gave it two thumbs up. The chicken was tender and flavorful, but the real star was the remoulade sauce--a tangy, creamy delight that brought everything together.All in all, Cafe Du Soleil is a gem. Great food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back (and maybe this time, I'll snap a photo before inhaling my food... maybe).

Unassuming french cafe tucked away in a small building off of Old Town Alexandria.The space is pretty neat/stylish, and really makes you feel as if you are at a small cafe in France, though it is a little darker than I would preferPretty comprehensive menu of drinks, hot food, & pastries. I came here for breakfast with my GF and we each got vanilla lattes, I got a crepe, she got a coffee cake pastry, and we split a BEC. Everything was deliciousCounter service, and all of our food and drinks were prepared extremely quickly

Been here a few times and it's always been good food with great coffee. The service was prompt and friendly. The location is a bit out of the way and parking can be a challenge. Would recommend parking farther away to walk here. I've gotten: Quinoa chicken salad-really good and love the dressing especially! Super fresh ingredients Tuna salad sandwich-also amazing! And loved the breadCoffee-great optionsAmazing all around!!!

I really enjoyed this place! The ambiance is so calming and inviting. There are plenty of tables to space out and have either a quiet reading moment or meal alone or sit and gab with your friends. My table ordered scrambled eggs with toast and turkey sausage and a smoked salmon crepe. Everything was warm and yummy. The meals weren't groundbreaking but they were tasty and enjoyable enough to come back! They have a smoothie and coffee menu and the baked goods were yummy and served warmed. Overall, a nice spot!

If you want a real crepe from a French chef, this is the place to go. They have sweet, savory, and different salads and breakfast foods if you don't fancy crepes. The service was great. You order at the cashier and then the servers bring the food to your table. I definitely recommend a plain iced latte. It was delicious. They also offer wine to take home and I will definitely do that next time.

Highly recommened. The cafe is intimate and easily accessed from the main road. Paid parking available on street or garage. It is the perfect atmosphere for a meet up or to study. Wifi accessible for customers. The layout of the cafe could get a little cramped when it is busy when the line starts to form at the register. Food and drink items are ordered at the register first then the food is brought to you. Seating can be limited but you do have a choice of siting on a couch, bar stool or at a small table. First come, first serve type deal. The chai tea latte and quiche was very tasty and filling. Would definitely return. .

Was very crowded which was to be expected for a Sunday morning. Line cleared out quickly, food arrived and looked great. I enjoyed my coffee and may try more next visit. Believe they may move to a bigger space with outside seating in the future which would be lovely. Would gladly come back here again.

This place was the cutest!! Stopped by a month ago for the first time a little after opening, and was not disappointed. Matcha latte was a 10/10 so delicious, they have milk options as well other than dairy. I got my Niçoise salad to go. I think I personally would ask for a bit more dressing just to fully saturate the amount of salad given, other than that it was it very savory. Wonderful customer service and music as well.
