Very authentic interior and presentation. This would be a great place to bike to, then undo it all by scarfing down pastries out front. Coffee was good too. Bread looked great, esp. the walnut bread.

I found this place on Yelp! My wife and I made a special drive from Madeira Beach to try it out. We LOVE it. We got a fruit tart, croissant, turnover and chocolate eclair. After we enjoyed our croissant in the shop we decided to get a baguette to make sandwiches with later--good call. We haven't eaten all that we purchased but what we have was excellent and tasted so fresh. We also picked up a cup of complimentary coffee. It was good and was served in a commercial coffee maker--nothing exceptional though. They also had the LaVazza behind the counter. If you are in the mood for fresh bread or an afternoon treat I'd highly recommend it. Never been to Paris but I could imagine this is what it's like.
(5)Jean-Guy R.
Ouf, we will be back. Fresh pastries and excellent coffee.
(5)Rich U.
A taste of paradise. It was amazing before but now they've expanded the bakery and the menu. Try the crepes...they're to die for.
(5)Micah M.
Amazing meringues!
(5)Alldaron K.
Now this is an AMAZING place, been there numerous times, great little "secret". Very friendly social owner, loves to sit down and chat. Be sure to order more than one item, since they're all so good. I wish they were open right now... now I'm craving some of their treats.
(5)Melissa M.
Definitely the place for pastries! YUMMIE!
(5)Shaun W.
We just moved here from Illinois. Who needs to go to the Paris in Las Vegas when you have this beautiful bakery with delicious crepes right here in Indian Rocks Beach. This is going to be our favorite place to go!
(5)Summer B.
We come from Daytona once a year to enjoy this area and I always have to get a selection of pastries and a cappuccino. For three years now the quality is consistent and as good as the croissants I used to get in France. And THAT is hard to find. Because everything is made so fresh with REAL ingredients I would assume you want to get this stuff fresh when they make it in the morning. In France it was also strange to walk into a brasserie in the afternoon to buy stuff that was made that morning. So don't complain about stale pastries when you don't know when to buy them.
(5)TootTootTootsie G.
This bakery is located in a strip mall and isn't as fancy as the name suggests, but it has a wide selection of artistan breads, brioches, croissants, cakes, pastries, and chocolates, and everything is outstanding. There are a couple of tables on the sidewalk in front, but this really isn't a spot to linger very long. A little pricey but the quality is worth it.
(5)Tricia A.
Truly excellent patisserie, "Cafe de Paris" is on the shop front, I'm happy to say is very much appreciated by the locals. Sumptuous delicate desserts, pastries & bread, made fresh every day on site. Not cheap but I think that speaks of the quality you find for your delectation. Enjoy.
(4)Sarah P.
This little bakery has a wonderful selection of pastries, both sweet and savory. My friends and I enjoyed the meringues (heavenly), coconut flan, and a custard filled pastry that translates to "well of love" (the name in French escapes me). The owner was friendly and engaging, eager to show us his planned expansion of the bakery in to a sandwich shop, the location was wonderful, so close to the water (but mercifully away from tourist crowds), and I appreciated the complimentary coffee. There's not a lot of indoor seating, but there are a couple tables outside too, and some handy parking right in front of the shop. Tampa has some nice bakeries, particularly for Cuban coffee and sweets, but this is the first place I've found around here that specializes in French pastries, and it is definitely worth the drive over to Indian Rocks Beach to enjoy.
(5)Norman B.
It is very hard to find a really great croissant. What they serve here is the real deal. You can really taste the real butter. Such a treat. No nasty aftertaste that is the giveaway to bad pastry. You just want to savor the flavor as you drive home.
(5)E S.
I uploaded photos of the pastries which we enjoyed.
(4)Sarah P.
Sooooo delicious....try the bread balls with cream inside and powdered sugar on top...amazing
(5)David D.
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
(5)John M.
Just moved to the area and tried this for breakfast. The place was busy and even after ordering we had a 30 minute wait for our food. It was worth it! Ham and cheese crepe was out of this world. Hazelnut latte was how you'd hope it to taste. The croissants were delicious. As a side note, this is the only place I've seen in Florida that makes a margarette. I'm 1000% coming back.
(5)Rachel K.
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!
(5)Chris L.
Most stuff was great, but I don't know, I was disappointed with the onion soup. I was really excited and was expecting a great bowl of onion soup and it was bland and didn't have much onion in it. I'm sad because I love onion soup and thought I might be able to close my eyes and be sitting on the Seine again, but nope. The almond croissant was great, the rest of our meals were good, the bakery case looked amazing, I am setting my star level for the soup.
(3)Faizal E.
This is really a great gem. The service is friendly, and the portion sizes are generous. Food quality is above average!
(5)Leigh M.
I love this cafe! I want to move here so I can eat here more often. I'll settle for visiting a few more times before my vacation is over. Everything I or my family have had has been amazing. The crepes, whether sweet (nutella and banana!) or savory (ham, egg, cheese!) have been on my plate every time. The savory crepes come with oatmeal in the morning, which was really delicious and made it an extremely filling breakfast for a low price tag. I love that you can watch the chefs and baristas making your food and coffee. Highly recommend!
(5)Jeremy L.
I visited for breakfast this morning. I have to say after reading all the reviews, I had quite high expectations. I arrived just prior to opening, and waited a short while for the doors to open. Another family was there doing the same. On entering the staff were very helpful. I ordered two of the sweet crepes. I had the Crepe Suzette, and the Poire Belle Helene (pear, chocolate, almond) Crepe. Each order is only one crepe, for the price of a regular breakfast at many other establishments. I didn't worry about cost, as I am willing to pay for great food. The Crepe Suzette is made with a sugar crepe and then covered with Grand Mariner. The original sugar crepe portion is quite tasty, and if I was to return, would stick with just the basics. The Grand Mariner on top was overwhelming, with a strong alcohol flavor, and not much of the orange flavor left. This is garnished with whipped cream on the side. The whipped cream is piled high, and appears quite nice. They drizzle a small amount of caramel on top of that. The whip cream is very distinctly from a restaurant bag and not fresh. This crepe was very disappointing. I moved on the the Poire Belle Helene Crepe. This appetizing in appearance. It is a single crepe filled with pears, and then drizzled with chocolate, and sprinkled with almond slivers. The pears inside the crepe were noticeably from a can, with no crunch, and not much flavor. The chocolate drizzle was good, however also could note this is any general chocolate that you can purchase in a grocery. The almonds were not crunchy and slightly soft, they had absolutely no "snap" to the nut. This crepe was also disappointing. The place itself is very clean, with a beautiful display case of very tempting pastries. I will at some time attempt to return and try the pastry, I was too full to attempt any today. They were also noted to be instantly busy, just after opening. This seems to be the place to be on Indian Rocks Beach for breakfast. Although, I personally was not impressed; it seems they have many return customers, and many very happy customers. As the service was so good, and the atmosphere was clean and quite nice. I will attempt to visit again in the future and amend this review. However as of today, I would have to stick with a firm 2 stars as I have experienced better.
(2)Melissa L.
I love this place! I had the bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and it was amazing!! Took the sandwich to go and it was plated with a mini toast and mustard on the side. Excellent latte. Also had the chocolate chip brioche, loved that it was topped with sugar making it nice and crispy on top. If I lived in the area I'd be here daily! Friendly service too.
(5)Nicole K.
Awesome cappuccino!! Loved the chocolate croissants! Plan to go back to try the crepes! In an unassuming strip mall...don't miss this place!
(5)Courtney Y.
Flourless chocolate tortes are amazing!!!!! Great prices and such yummy breakfast treats!
(5)R W H.
So this is one of those reviews I really don't want to write, because the place will only get busier, and I simply just want to get my coffee and pastry when I'm in town. But the fact is this place has the best pastry outside of Balthazar in Tribeca. It being just off the beach doesn't hurt either. The almond croissants are killer.
(5)Becky R.
We bought a variety of pastries and they were all amazing! My favorite was the chocolate brownie with chocolate ganache...to die for! Yum :) We bought six individual items and a loaf of bread for a little over $20. Great value for specialty items.
(5)Linda S.
It's a very good place for breakfast is they have many varieties of crepes at good prices. However the croissants were a little bit of a disappointment . The chocolates croissant only had a small bit of chocolates running down the center and most bites was just dough their cookies were a bit stale and tasted like the egg and meat pastries in the nearby plates. French onion soup was decent and the breakfast sandwiches good . If you are longing for a little taste of France then check out the place and you may satisfy your Chase for crepes and soup but don't expect it to be like a real French café. Some things are worth getting like the crapes but others not.
(3)Tracy P.
Everything was amazing. Loved the atmosphere of cafe. Tables were close but allowed for friendly chitchat with neighbors. Loved the cheese croissant, the cafe Paris coffee was a dream (whipped cream was to die for) and croque Monsieur was perfection.
(5)Cherie S.
Best crepes, sandwiches, salads and espresso. I saw a review here commenting on the whip cream being store bought and also one about the coffee. I used to work here and I can tell you the whip cream is not store bought! I used to make it myself. You get a free coffee with a pastry and yes it is regular coffee. No special brand or anything. They do not advertise any specialty coffee but try a lavazza espresso or cappuccino and I guarantee you'll love it. They even make their own mayonnaise and salad dressing.
(5)Edward M.
Came here for breakfast this morning based on what else, Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed. It's in a strip mall and you would likely pass right by it if you weren't specifically looking for it. But inside it's pretty nice. They have a few tables outside but they fill quickly when the weather is nice. It was quite busy when I was there but no one waited very long for their treats. They have a nice selection of pastries and croissants and such. But I wanted the crepes, since it seems I can never find them anywhere. I got Nutella and she got banana, both really good and made to order. Also got my other favorite, almond croissants, also very good. A nice thing is they have regular sized croissants and if you prefer they sell smaller versions. Apparently they also have "American" croissants and the traditional French kind. When the woman in front of me asked about the difference apparently the American version was made with margarine instead of butter. Who the hell wants that? Apparently neither me nor the woman in front of me in line. But if you want crappy American croissants made with margarine have at it because they got you covered. There were two friendly young men working the counter and they were efficient and helpful. I didn't see any of the poor service others noted, and it was pretty busy. I guess to summarize, if you live here or are visiting the area, definitely go here. I doubt there's a better bakery anywhere near the area. Four stars only because I very infrequently give five and I was only here once.
(4)Kelsey P.
I was so excited to eat this bakery after seeing all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, it wasn't at all what i was expecting. Now maybe I'm spoiled with the bakeries I have back home, but when I think French pastry, I think flaky layers of buttery goodness. Their pastry is more of a bread dough. A dense bread dough. We got an assortment of danishes and all the fillings tasted like mass produced jams. They were all very gummy tasting and didn't taste fresh at all. I'd pass on this place.
(2)Adam C.
French onion was ok nothing spectacular, quiche was also just ok. Crepes were legit got a sweet.one and breakfast one. Breakfast crepe had so much cheese there was twice as much cheese than crepe.I decided I am not a crepe.fan but if it's your thing then it's good. Later that week I had a breakfast crepe in SK and it was amazing. Both were authentic French chefs but two completely different dishes. Pastry selection is awesome, crossaint was light, flaky, sweet....just great. Parking is a challenge so good luck with that. Owner and staff are very nice, definitely want to please the customer.
(3)Elvia E.
Excellent crepes. Had a fruit tart which was delicious. The cheese quiche was good but not amazing. Everyone was super nice and friendly. The baker French, and most regulars greeted him in French. Some would wander over while he prepared crepes and asked him questions in French. Definitely recommend!
(5)Glenn G.
Wonderful fresh made crepes, pastries, and the most amazing Bavarian creme beignet (fried doughnut) I've ever experienced. The beignet had so much filling it weighed at least 1/3 lb. we actually had them weigh one! When they aren't slammed with customers, service is friendly and personal. A definite recommendation for breakfast, brunch or a light lunch.
(5)RIMA A.
OMG !!! I don't know where to start It's my first time in St Pets so I kept asking random people that I meet about their favorite place to go to. That's how I heart about Cafe De Paris. Everything that we order was extra delicious I got the croque Monsieur, my husband and son got the ham egg and cheese croissant and cafe de Paris crepe, I bought chocolate, cheese and plain home to take home. Everything was beyond expectations. The hot and ice cappuccino was the best I had for a long time Douie, our serve was very friendly and knowledgable of so many subjects I had so much pleasure talking to him. I would definitely come back. And the though that we almost didn't go to the cafe. Glad we did.
(5)Nels N.
The best bakery/pastry around the area. I was salivating over the crepes and quiches. Come early because everything runs out, can't blame them... So good!
(5)W. I.
A Parisian cafe, here in Indian Rocks? Mais oui!!! A wonderful place to eat breakfast or pick your favorite pastries to go. It can get a bit crowded and chaotic, but hold on...peruse the menu and/or the patisserie cases and put your order in at the counter. You may have to wait for a table to open or be cleared off, but worth the wait. You'll want to take a few of the treats to go for later if you eat in.
(5)Terry M.
Excellent! Quality product, service and people. A great way to start the day. We highly recommend them.
(5)Michael N.
Very nice little bakery with a friendly staff. Tarts are delicious! Crepes smelled and looked wonderful.
(4)Michelle B.
Visiting with family in Wimauma and while out sightseeing, they said we had to stop here for an afternoon treat. We ordered 3 coffees and a latte. My latte was hot & delicious, best latte I've had in awhile. All three of the coffees weren't hot enough so had to take them back up to the counter to get heated up. We ordered 2 brownies, raspberry creme puff and a fresh fruit tart. The brownie was very chocolatey but it wasn't any better than my homemade brownies. The creme puff was delicious. The filling and fresh fruit of my tart was yummy but the actual tart crust was hard, not flaky at all. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would not go out of my way to come again but if in the area I might stop and give them another try. I would make sure to try something quite Parisian, like the crepes.
(3)Kendall M.
Super yummy! Xavier (the owner and master baker) knows how to whip up a good crepe! Great customer service and a cute place! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area!
(5)Russell G.
Best cafe and bakery in Tampa Bay Area. The Coffee is rich and the cream is exceptional. Which, I rarely use but here it is a must because the cream is fresh and much better than a regular coffee house. Great French pastries and crepes so you can make an official breakfast out of the experience. Also when you show people this place you automatically become cooler than they are. Also it's on gulf blvd so you can order and then promenade on the beach so everyone else see's how cool you are.
(5)Keith S.
A real bakery! Smells great. Open posted hours....sometimes the service is snotty. But at least you know there are no trans fats like at "sweet" shop up in irb or crabbys. Real french baguettes and sandwiches are delicious. ...well organized staff led by quality focused managers.
(5)Kady W.
If the restaurant is full, you have time to wait, then proceed with ordering. If you don't have time, then just order whatever is in the bakery case. I ordered a quiche, sandwich, mini croissant, custard donut, and crepe to share with 3 people. The quiche was ready made, while the sandwich and crepe were made to order. The quiche and croissant were decent, while the donut was dry. My friend's sandwich was tasty, but the baguette was overly toasted. Complaint- My table was served the sandwich within 15 minutes of ordering, but the crepe was nowhere to be found. My friend waited another 15 minutes before checking in with the cashier about her crepe. After some confusion the cashier explained that they lost her crepe order even though it was on the same ticket as our sandwich. She told us the order will be completed soon, but after waiting another 10 minutes we inquired with another server, who stated the order was lost completely. At that point my friend was frustrated about the initial cashier's lack of communication. Our table had to leave at that point so we asked a refund for the crepe and left as soon as we could. Upon leaving we overheard the male cashier retrain the blonde female cashier about placing orders with the chef. I hoped the next customer actually gets their full order. Three stars for cheap prices, decent coffee, and okay french food for the area.
(3)Natalee F.
On a strip full of "tourist beach food" this is a little oasis unlike anywhere else in the neighborhood. They have a great looking selection of french pastries, tarts, desserts, and breads. Looking into their glass case, it's really difficult to figure out which ones you will choose to try. Their croissants are nice and flaky and delicious, just like they should be. These aren't the same ones you will get from the grocery store. Their crepes are also yummy. I tried the savory goat cheese and honey crepe. It was accompanied by a sizable salad which was fresh, but was made mostly out of iceberg lettuce. It would have been a nice touch to have some other sort of greens.
(4)Mira L.
Most amazing crepes. Authentic, delicious, and a variety of flavors! Loved it. My mom got the mushrooms crepe, I got the spinach, hubby got the ham, egg and cheese. So amazing!
(5)Frank B.
Everything is made in house. The desserts are amazing & I love the ham & cheese croissant with house made mayo is the bomb!! The owner cooks all the food right in front of you. Give it a try & you will become a regular !!!
(5)Andy B.
Excellent little cafe with THEIR OWN fresh-baked bread and fresh made crepes. Lots of coffee/latte/cappuccino choices both hot and cold. Clean and well decorated interior; inside and outside seating. Don't miss this place.
(4)Anna R.
This place is always packed for breakfast. The last couple times I went, they were so busy that no one acknowledged me or the other people who walked in behind me. I ended up eating at the diner next door. (Not bad, btw) Beautiful pastries and delicious crepes. The savory dishes we tried, however, were WAY too salty. And I put salt on everything. This is a really cool place with great food; I just wish it wasn't so hard to eat here.
(3)John D.
I love this place! I go here at least once a week. Their croissants are the best I've had, the espresso is perfect and my wife loves the ham and cheese sandwich.
(5)Jay M.
I wanted it to be 5 stars! But, it lacked in each category... by far. FOOD: We sampled several different items and ... now you know what I thought of it. The deli sandwiches were ok at best... prosciutto sandwich was pretty skimpy on the meat. Even the "Where's the beef lady" who was there made a similar comment ;-) As for the sampling of their croissants they were lacking in taste and freshness. The crepes were probably the best, but not going there. As for dessert, we purchased several types of their cookies. This is the main reason for the 1 star. They were old! Not fresh as they absorbed the taste/aroma of the refrigerator. Yes, we all know that taste! They were inedible. Very sad for all of us, as we wanted to love this place. ATMOSPHERE: Was a nice place. The decor was classic and I thought there were plenty of seats. SERVICE: Definitely 2 stars, but I will incorporate some of the atmosphere as there was arguing between the workers which really took away from our initial ambience. OVERALL: I waited a year to come to this place... yes, it is true, while in Florida last year it was closed on the day we went there. I hate to give a one star but the cookies really pushed me that way.
(1)Anna P.
It's definitely my favorite bakery in the area. I love starting my day with their crêpe or croissant. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
(5)E D.
Oh happy day mons cheries! This little gem is our "must go" whenever we come out to visit! The food is classic and divine and prices are very reasonable. The room seems to be always pleasantly busy but not crowded or loud. We love the options for crepea (Classic or buckwheat) salads, treats, bread, and LaVazza coffee.
(5)Kari M.
Their puff pastry is made with shortening, not butter. And you were wondering why there was a persistent film on the roof of your mouth... The danish tasted like it had been frozen and thawed out. Freezer burn + danish is a bad combo. I will opt for Sarah Lea out of the freezer section before I would eat these again. Just sayin.
(1)Beth S.
I found this place through a friend who invited us to meet her after a triathlon. Apparently it's a big hit with local cyclists and from the amount of people eating in this little spot, lots of other folks love it too. This place is in a very unassuming strip mall and my friend said, "crepes" and I was all in. Owned by a true French family, this place has everything a Francophile could want. Crepes, croissants, and French pastries. All of them delicious. I have the most amazing chocolate croissant I've ever had stateside. The croissant breakfast sandwich was amazing too. I cannot wait to go back!
(5)Mackenzie K.
IRB's best kept secret. The Crepes and pastries are incredible and made by a family from France. So authentic you'll forget you're in Florida.
(5)Rob W.
The Croissants and pastries here are very good. You can dine in and get coffee or pick up the items to go, as we did. Lots of locals eat here and recommend it. They also have great assortment of cookies, tarts, cakes and other desert items, along with preparing crepes.
(4)Kathy D.
The pastries here is amazing! And they also make their crepes right to order! They have a great variety for you to choose from. I've tried their fruit tarts, croissants and cheese platter and it was delish! If I'm in this area again, this is a must stop for me!
(4)James F.
I have bought patisirie here twice. The second time was to make sure the first time was my error. Croissants are to flacky and almost but not quite crispy. Mais il ne pas bon. They are indeed the usual American mushy Croissants. Better than publics. It really SEEMS like the other bakery items are truly Boulange quality food but it really falls short, please watch Ratatoue and the rat explains how the bread should be, when you squeeze it, it should make a sound! If you truly do not know what a boulange et patisserie is like, you will probably like this place. If you do know, try it anyway. Maybe I am wrong. Good bread from Germany can be found at the Wurstlehouse on East Bay just west of Keene, I believe.
(2)Geoffrey R.
After eating at a restaurant next door, my wife and I decided to poke our heads in and see what they had in their well light pastry displays. With a closer look, we both regretted eating breakfast at Sandy's and wish we would have stopped here first. Since we already ate, we got a couple pastries to go. I got a cream puff, being from Wisconsin we love our cream puffs; my wife got a giant cannoli. Later that day we decided to dig into our yum yum's and wow, they just blew us away. My cream puff was ohh so yummy that i wanted to go back and get another.. In fact i still want to go back. My wife just loved her cannoli, one of the best she has had.
(5)Lou L.
The food (crepes, and sandwiches) are excellent. The pastries are outstanding! The coffee is good but a refill for a $1 seems a bit overboard when dining in with a small cup. The tables and parking is limited. Go early because the fresh baked product tend to run out. The staff is nice but not overly personable. I will go back if in the area because it is that good.
(4)Julie J.
Great crepes & quiches!! Pretty cheap too. Only down fall is coffee is $1 for a refill. Great little place though, highly recommend it.
(4)Linda R.
Love this little cafe & bakery. I have been there a number of times in the last few years. Great pastries and wonderful crepes made right in front of you. I enjoy sitting for a few minutes in the intimate setting, drinking my coffee and usually meeting someone interesting. Highly recommend.
(4)Debbie G.
Loved this authentic French cafe !! Great hospitality !!! Yummy meringues ..pastries...French onion soup .., I love their iced coffee.. And hot chocolate is best I ever had ..real fresh whipped cream !'
(5)Jill S.
So disappointed! We were excited to find a French cafe/bakery within walking distance of our condo and went there for breakfast this morning. Good things first: my friends liked their butter crepe, croissant and danish. My husband liked his nutella and banana crepe. The coffee is good. But my sugar crepe came out underdone, tasting rather like glue. When I sent it back, the cook came out and was, um, unhappy with me, telling me in essence I don't know how a crepe should taste. I got a Napoleon to bring back with me and the pastry was more like cardboard than French pastry. One of my friends had to remind the clerk twice about her butter crepe which came out after the rest of us had finished eating. Advice; coffee and croissants, good. Pastry and crepes, not so much. Hey locals! If you want good crepes or French pastries, New Orleans and NYC are MUCH better. The crepes from street carts in NYC are to die for (as a previous reviewer put it in his). Napoleons from New Orleans are wonderful; light flaky pastry with heavy custard, just as they should be.
(1)Elle L.
What an incredible little gem! This bakery is amazing. It's not too big, not too small and all their pastries are delicious. I picked up 6 or 7 various desserts. It's not far from the beach and is the perfect place to go for a small breakfast. Love it!
(5)David G.
This place takes me back to the crepes I had on Isle St Louis! I had the ham, egg, and cheese crepe and my wife tried the Prociutto crepe. They were fantastic! Folded just like you would get in Paris. The cream puff was great too! The filling wasn't overly sweet and the puff was nice and flakey. There chocolate ganache brownie was very rich and dense yet moist. We will be going back many more times.
(5)Jacqueline D.
Xavier De Marchi, Master Baker & Pastry Chef, and his family run this authentic French cafe located just moments from Indian Rocks beach. I usually go to yoga class on Saturday mornings and then walk right over to the cafe with friends for some coffee, croissants, brioche and of course, their famous crepes. Favorite things besides the great food? You can always hear a number of languages being spoken, you can watch Xavier make the crepes and even though it's always packed, everyone is super friendly. Vive Cafe de Paris!
(5)C H.
I may have moved to Indian Rocks Beach just to walk here every weekend! The quiche, crepes, sandwiches and croissants are out of this world. Grabbing breakfast and eating on the beach makes this my go-to spot whenever I have visitors. I have heard the cookies are less than stellar but haven't had them myself...too much other deliciousness to be had! I'll probably get a pie or cake for Thanksgiving because they always look so delectable.
(5)Rachelle S.
Most pastries come with a free coffee. Their cinnamon buns are ok, not the best but not the worst. However, their danish are amazing! They have a variety of items, from croissants, cookies (including macaroons), crepes, soup, salad, and sandwiches. Very cute, relaxed atmosphere.
(4)Natalia R.
We were having trouble finding good food but saw this place on the way to the beach - Great crepes and quiche! Very nice service, as well. We come here for breakfast and desserts!
(5)Don H.
After a full week of local cuisine, I finally realized a food mecca. In a way I was glad it waited until the end because I would've been here every morning and afternoon. This unassuming patisserie is in a quiet strip mall. But don't let that fool you. Inside are delicacies and treats. We had brunch here so I started with a cafe au lait. Next I enjoyed a wonderful croissant filled with spinach. I know that sounds simple but it was just right, the right amount of flakiness and taste not too salty as many are wont to do with these treats. In all it was a good experience, decently quick service and a great selection for a snack or full meal. Even the prices were decent. Worth a try.
(5)Isabelle G.
I have family that lives on the strip, walking distance and each time we visit which is a few times a year we always stop here for amazing crepes both savory and sweet ones. All made to order with an ample menu. A refreshing spot when you're tired of beach food. My favorite is the goat cheese and honey crepes with either their house salad or french onion soup on the side. So filling and refreshing.

Came to check out this quaint little cafe while in town visiting my parents. We sat outside as I had my pooch with me who happily laid in the sun while enjoying the gulf breeze. We ordered a few coffees, a nutella banana crepe and their signature house sandwich for the table. The food was good (especially that sandwich), the coffee was nothing to write home about and the service was mediocre at best (from my experience, that's pretty standard in Florida). I still think its a good option for breakfast- we really did enjoy their menu selection. The pastries looked delish as well. I'd definitely come back either way - a very convenient location a block from the beach!

My husband and I love this place. They put care into what they make, and you can sure tell. The sandwiches, the pastries and even the salads!! All delicious for a great price. Oh, and the pumpkin soup!!! He even loves the grainy mustard. The staff were very kind to us. I almost forgot the quiche...we took a bacon and mushroom one home and reheated it the next morning...delish! We will be back!

Picked up 2 croissants from here, chocolate and plain, and had to trash them. Very oily with a very hard top. Not flaky at all. I visited Paris recently and had croissants every morning from a local bakery so I have a good notion of what a good croissant should be and these were not it. Can't speak of anything else at this bakery. Don't get a coffee to go if you don't like Styrofoam.

Absolutely love this place. We had the Lattes which reminded us of the wonderful cafe con leche you get in Southern Europe. The pastries, we tried many during our weeks stay in Indian Shores were fantastic, petite and so tasty. We sampled the crepes for breakfast, the Pear, chocolate and almond and also the Fruit Crepe, provided a great start to the day. Will make the effort to spend time at Cafe de Paris again if we vacation in the area again.

This is an all time favorite for me for breakfast/lunch, coffee and pastries. Everything is delicious and fresh. My only complaint is that staff is just plain unfriendly.

It's become a love hate relationship with this place. One time the food will be great, the next time it's meh. I think we've finally given up.

Crepe with cheese, ham, and an egg comes with side of soup. Great place for lunch. The owner is from France and will make your crepe to order. Amazing just to see him make one.

Ah-MAZ-ing. You must stop here. Beautiful inside - lovely decor. Great staff. You MUST get the danish. Any kind - lemon, cherry, apple, cheese, whatever. They are the most delicious, amazing danishes you will ever have. I don't even like danish. (I think I've been ruined by always have Entemann's at work events.) These are nothing like that! These danish will change your life... especially if they are fresh out of the oven!!! =) Wonderful spot. Highly, highly recommend.

Rising amidst the bland of Tampa Bay is this wonderful bakery. You really feel like you are in a little bit of Paris but on the water... :) Delicious crepes and pastries.

super friendly staff, fantastic bread and good service - I am vegan so haven't tried the pastries but the were all gorgeous and look like what you'd expect. Make sure to get some fresh bred hot out of the oven!
