| - I've been on the lookout for some authentic local eateries and when I saw Baguette Cafe pop up on Yelp I had to give the place a try.
As has been noted by some other reviewers, its a little tricky to find the place at first, in the far corner of a group of office buildings, but its well worth the effort.
I got there about 11:40 am which I think was perfect timing, since by the time my food came out almost every seat in the place was taken. The decor is very nice - simple but beautiful. Normally small local cafes look pretty amateurish inside, but Baguette Cafe was done right. Its warm and inviting and definitely a place you'd like to eat at or just have a cup of coffee in.
I decided to have a ham sandwich and a cup of their roasted pepper and gouda soup, both of which were very good. I don't normally care for tomatoes but the sandwich was good enough that I actually enjoyed them. The presentation of the plate was also very nice, with plates and bowls that were a cut above what you'd expect to find in most Vegas cafes.
Olivier, whom I take to the owner, was very nice and welcoming, introducing himself and asking me which nearby building I worked in (none of them, I live down the street) and asking my name when I left and shaking my hand - something you definitely don't get at most restaurants or cafes!
All in all I'm very impressed with Baguette Cafe and recommend anyone in the area (or out of it, its worth a drive) to give it a try.
