" So happy to discover this little café. The food is fresh, and each bite tells a story—especially their galettes. I enjoyed meeting the owner who shared wonderful anecdotes about French culture. It's a true treasure in Pasadena. Kudos to the team for creating such a lovely space! " (*Curated Review*)

" The café is beautiful and charming; I can see why it's so popular. I tried their brioche and coffee, both were fantastic. However, I must say, on a weekend, it was a bit crowded, and I ended up waiting for my order a little longer than expected. Still, a great experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Union Street several times and have always left satisfied! From perfect pastries to great café au lait, the experience never disappoints. It can get a little crowded, so plan accordingly, but it's definitely a gem that should be preserved. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited this café after hearing about their famous canelés. They did not disappoint! Each bite was filled with a wonderful caramelization while remaining so moist—the best I've ever had. The café has such a cozy feel, and I really enjoyed my time there. Just a great spot to sit, relax, and enjoy some delightful French treats. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this café after reading multiple reviews. The atmosphere was definitely cozy, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. I ordered a simple coffee and flan, and while they were decent, I expected more in terms of flavor and presentation. I will give it another try, though, because the service was pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the authentic atmosphere and their attention to detail in service. The outdoor seating area was delightful too! Although I was a bit disappointed that they ran out of pastries despite being early in the day, what I did have was great. I’m keen to return, hopefully to try their pastries next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to visit for lunch, and I left thoroughly impressed. They serve authentic dishes that taste like they came straight from France, and the staff was gracious. The area was nicely decorated, making it a perfect place for a weekend meal. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
