Cafe de Paris Bakery

ahhhh… crepes– perfction! !! and great coffee.
thank you both1

The Crepes with bannana, nutella, and strawberry were really great and they were priced right. We also had a french Croissant made with more butter and it was really great, even a few hours old. The owner is a true Frenchman who runs this like a true French Café with that laid back carefree French attitude. The Latte’s were also great, and priced very fair at $ 2.50.
You def have to come out and try this place at least once… Definitely worth it, especially for breakfast.

Excellent coffee and a crêpe after our afternoon on the beach. My latte was perfection and my husband really liked his cappuccino. We split a mushroom cheese crêpe that came with the cutest little cup of French onion soup. Let’s just say there was nothing left on the plate! Would love to go back for breakfast sometime.

I would give this place 10 stars if possible, Café de Paris is by far the best pastry/​breakfast I’ve had ever! Wonderful service, flaky crust on my quiche, beignet was wonderful, Danish wash perfect!!! My daughter had the Nutella crêpe which she devoured, and it was served with the most awesomely thick whipped cream!

This tiny little gem is packed every time I go past, and when I finally stopped in it was standing room only. The setup is wonky– the place for the line is a little close to people sitting down eating, but space is small.
The pastries are really beautiful, and it was tough to pick! We ended up trying a French croissant, chocolate éclair, brownie, and mushroom and bacon quiche. Here’s the low-​down:
croissant– excellent!
éclair– excellent!
brownie– meh
quiche– meh
The quiche was in seriously in need of seasoning, and it had to be made with Canadian bacon, not bacon bacon. The crust was not anything to rave about.
The brownie had so much icing that it was a little cloying. Not horrible, but not great.
I would make a trip back for the French pastries alone…

AHHH-​Maaaaazing! Bona Fide Parisian Chef running the show at this place. You’ll love this place! I’ve been going here for 4 years no place even comes close in the area.

Delicious! Hot chocolate made with real cream. Sweet crepes with real cream: butter & sugar was so good, my son was delighted by banana & Nutella (not my favorite ingredients but when in Paris…) Savory crepes: ham, cheese & egg was really good. Side cup of French onion soup was small, flavorful if a little salty. Quiche, croissants, fruit & custard tart: all yummy.
No table service; one must order at the counter. The counter service was quick, accommodating and polite even though it was quite busy. The food was brought to the table as ready.
Being here transported me back to the many times I’ve spent in Paris. It is that authentic. I’ll be back for sure!

Amazing crepes with imported cheeses. Both outdoor and indoor seating, order at the register and they’ll bring the food out to your table.

It was amazing. Amazing amazing amazing. I had the cheese crêpe… I just wanted to come back every day for the rest of my life to have it for breakfast. My tea came in an incredible pot with a matching cup and saucer. I don’t live in Clearwater, but I will drive down there again just to visit Café de Paris. My kids had the strawberry and blueberry crepes, and I also bought a box of pastries. I miss it as I am writing this.

Being born and raised in France, you know I had to try this place.
The place is small with a few tables inside and outside. I immediately saw some things in the display case that I haven’t seen anywhere other than in France, which made me hopeful. A young man took our order to find out he was the owners son, and yes, they are all actually from France.
We opted for the Croque Monsieur and the plate of charcuterie.
That Croque Monsieur was HUGE for $ 5 (more on that later). The taste… what can I say… other than I’m drooling writing this review thinking about it. You can tell the ham and cheese they used was definitely not the cheap stuff. But it’s $ 5!!! How can that be???
The charcuterie was very French. Again, you definitely can tell the cheese and meats were imported and not something you can find at a local grocery store, no matter how nice the store is. WOW!!! (Drooling even more now, thanks a lot!!!).
Couldn’t leave without tasting some pastry. Pain au chocolat, and have to try the chocolate mousse (do you see a pattern here? Yes, I’m a chocolaholic, and fell off the wagon. STOP JUDGING ME!!! LOL).
The pastry was amazing, and the mousse was thick yet light and so FREAKING good! (Am I going to ever stop drooling? I got to end this review. I’m getting weird looks).
Talked to the owner. Super nice! He showed me around, and the crates with the cheeses he orders (yep! Imported), and said he was frustrated with French restaurants being so expensive everywhere, and wanted to show what normal French people eat, as most can’t afford a $ 100+ meal.
Aaaahhhh, that explains the prices. Wow! I have a lot of respect for these people!
This is definitely going to become a weekly weekend place for us to go to. Awesome!

Since the upgrade I would definitely recommend this place. The jelly filled donuts are great. Croissants just never get crispy in Florida.
But the crepes are seriously awesome and are bigger than you think. Lattes are a great price at the same coat as filtered coffee.
The sit down addition really helped. The display of the available quiches and baked breakfast items is tantalizing.
Stop in and walk to the beach right from the parking. There is parking at the side of the building as well.

We got a selection of their savory crepes, including the cheese crêpe, and the ham, cheese and egg crêpe. I’ve definitely had better. They use loads of mozzarella cheese for the ham crêpe, which leads to a pretty boring and greasy dish. Their side salad was unappetizing, with a hefty squirt of what looked like bottled vinaigrette and a black canned olive.
We also had their lattes and a chocolate croissant. They were okay.
Not my favorite.

Delicious! Gorgeous! Very special!
Eclairs are divine! I could just list everything here but instead, I would tell you to just go, go, go! It’s amazing and very very special

I really like this café and bakery. Wonderful butter croissants, crepes and pastries if I lived in the area I’d be here everyday. Love it

Food is all sooo good! And come out freakishly fast. Food seriously came out 2 mins after we ordered it. Will definitely come here again. I recommend the Café de Paris crêpe and French vanilla cappuccino :)
Also, the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

The crepes and sandwiches are superb. Everything here is scratch made and you can taste the freshness. Seating is very limited and service can be slow and confusing. Worth the visit.

Very cute little bakery with a good variety of savory and sweet options. We had the Nutella and Helen crepes. They were good and perfectly sweet… Nothing unusually amazing but still good. Then we took home a variety of beautiful pastries as well. It’s very busy but would defiantly come back.
Only odd things is they seem to charge you for every little thing… Splenda, Honey, etc… Seems kinda funny…

This place is like stepping off the plane and your in France.
You can not find anything more authentic.
If your in the area. It’s. Must to hit this gem.
Great food and staff

Always dubious about so called French or European restaurants in the USA especially near the beach but this place is genuine. The owner is French and it is clear loves food, the taste, the creation and the presentation
Wish we had found this earlier in our stay. The service was great and the cappuccino was great
We will be back and recommend this for breakfast or lunch just wish we had more time to sample everything

This is really a great gem. The service is friendly, and the portion sizes are generous. Food quality is above average!

This place is legit French goodness. The master baker is always at work behind the glass, and he’s fun to watch.
There is a great variety here compared to other local bakeries, both American and French, and we have been impressed every single time.
The pastries are, of course, incredible, but so are the sandwiches, crepes, and breads. Haven’t found something we haven’t liked yet, but as a chocolate freak, I highly recommend the Nutella crepes and the chocolate croissants!

Hallo deutsche Touris. Wenn ihr das amerikanische Weissbrot nicht mehr sehen könnt und euch die bunten Kuchen im Publix irgendwann suspekt vorkommen, dann seit ihr hier genau richtig. Wir haben uns hier auf Empfehlung einer Freundin einmal umgeschaut und waren hin und weg. Meine Begleitung war anschließend zwei Tage im Schoko-​Koma. Habe selten so gute Kuchen in den Staaten gegessen. Großes Kompliment an den Bäcker. Er versteht sein Handwerk. An den Charme der kleinen blonden Verkäuferin, muss man sich erst gewöhnen. Aber ich vermute, das englisch nicht ihre Muttersprache ist. Das kam dann alles etwas ruppig rüber. Aber egal. es geht ja hier um den Kuchen und der hat es in sich. Kompliment
