The food is absolutely amazing and the portion sizes are very large. The service is extremely fast. Our food came out within 5 to 10 minutes. The presentation as you can see from the pictures is so beautiful. The ambience is quite cute, Simple and Clean.

I wanted a chocolate croissant and remembered this little cafe so I stopped in. I had a chocolate croissant and a hazelnut croissant, the hazelnut was superior and delicious!! The chocolate one was good, but I'd recommend a different place for the best. However, I was super impressed with the menu, I didn't realize all of the variety for all three meals. I definitely want to go back and eat a meal. The service was prompt and kind. They have seasonal lattes that look incredible, again, need to go back!! It was much smaller and daintier than I was expecting inside, but I loved the cozy vibe. They also have a patio.

We had the pleasure of dining at Merci French Café during our visit from Minnesota, and it was an absolute delight! The eggs Benedict was divine--perfectly cooked, with a creamy, slightly sweet hollandaise that was simply unforgettable. We also tried the breakfast sandwich, which came on a moist and flaky croissant with a wonderful smoky flavor that elevated every bite. The coffee was excellent, with a variety of flavors and several alternative milk options to choose from, which we really appreciated. What made the experience even more special was the warm hospitality. Both the owner and his wife were incredibly kind and generous, making us feel right at home. We can't wait to return to Merci French Café whenever we're back in town--this place is a true gem!

So our family friend/roommate of almost 35yrs, Chris used to live close & recommended you guys to me. I have fallen in absolute love with the salad dressing you guys make in house. I buy 2 bottles & mini baguettes every month. The bread literally takes me back to the month I spent in France when I was 16(now 47, this is certainly authentic!!) I literally have a homemade salad EVERY SINGLE day, I don't miss a day & it just wouldn't be the same if I didn't have your AMAZING dressing! Thank you infinitely for making such a healthy low in sugar dressing that helps me stay so healthy! Love you guys. And for anyone trying out the place don't hesitate to get the onion soup or the lobster bisque as they are delicious as well.(really I've never had anything I didn't love in there. So worth trying it out, likely you'll be hooked too! Definitely is worth checking it out! You won't be disappointed.

Portions are HUGE and everything tasted great! The decor is so sweet, I just wanted to sit there and look at the walls and the servers were really nice. 10/10 experience. Definitely THE place to experience the European vibes in Phoenix area (except for the portion sizes:))

Our favorite local cafe!! My wife and I love coming here on Saturday mornings for their amazing pastries and coffee. The Spinach and Feta pastry is incredible and they have the BEST cinnamon roles I've ever had. Breakfast is also to die for! Everyone who works there is also incredibly friendly. We always feel like we're visiting family when we pop in to grab a bite. The decor is inviting and really makes you feel like you're on a mini-vacation! 10/10! Give Merci a try today!

What a great place! Highly recommend for a delicious brunch! The chai tea latte was AMAZING and the chocolate croissant was flaky and soft. I had the spinach and goat cheese quiche which was delicious! My husband enjoyed his "open" Italian sandwich as well.

Cute place and fair prices. I had the escargot for $14.50. It comes with a salad and house made vinaigrette. The bread is really good! There were two of us. The other person ordered the quiche Loraine. Good portion size but was a bit on the salty side. I almost gave 3 stars because her food was brought out about 5min before mine. That is a huge pet peeve. Just hold back the quiche until the other dish is ready. It was pretty empty for a Friday at 12pm. You can only byob for dinner service on Friday and Saturday nights ($8 corkage fee). Lunch would have been made so much better with a crisp glass of white wine. Order and the counter and self serve water.

Wow wow wow!!! The spinach and goat cheese quiche was amazing. Best quiche I've ever had. Light and fluffy and plenty of goat cheese and spinach. Perfect balance of flavors. The side of hash browns is perfectly crispy and buttery. Again spot on. The side salad dressing was delicious and fresh The crab eggs benedict is also very delicious. The English muffin was crispy and well toasted and the crab flavor was delicious. The hollandaise sauce I loved. Compliment the crab perfectly. The coffees were also good. The Americano and cappuccino. The Apple Normandy tart was amazing as well. Flaky and buttery crust and cherry flavor and apples? So so good!!! Service was excellent. Dog friendly patio. Best breakfast we have had in Scottsdale so far!!

The best feta and spinach quiche I've had. So fluffy and light as opposed to most quiches that are dense and rich. The crust was a bit soft but I like it that way. The crab bene was also good. The crab wasn't lumpy as I thought it would. It looks more like the imitation crab - similar to the one you see in a California roll. Whether it is real or imitation or a combo of both, it's a good dish. Then I believe they used a different sauce - it was orangey in color. I personally would have preferred the traditional hollandaise sauce. The side salad that came with the bene and quiche had a light creamy dressing. I really liked it. Usually I eat the salad last in case I don't have room for my stomach. Not the case here since it was that good for a side salad, The dish also came with hash browns which are very tasty. The cappuccino didn't have the nice leaf art. They might have attempted it but they failed. I thought flavor wise it was decent for a Lavazza. I had better ones.
