I have surprised myself by becoming a regular here! I'm not big on sweet pastries but Cafe Breizh has me hooked. From the much-hyped cinnamon roll to the made-to-order crepes and galettes, CB caters to those who eat with their eyes first ...and/or post their food on social media.
SAVORY: The ham and cheese croissant is a treasure, and one I've happily shared with a couple of friends. The salmon and broccoli quiche is a favorite to take and bake at home for later consumption with a salad. The galettes are perfectly cooked and I prefer the mushroom-goat cheese over the salmon-veggie version.
SWEET: Their tarts are beautiful, but the lemon ones are especially tart so it went unfinished at our table. The chocolate chip cookies are perfection with melty chips and a perfect just-baked finish! The cinnamon roll is a take on your traditional flavors but with different ratio of crunchy and spongy bits.
The quality is quickly evident on a visit, but there are a few areas upon which I hope to see improvement as they settle in: the dine-in service can at times be forgetful, but they're wonderful at following up once they're aware of an issue and the interior is a bit plain and cold but they seem to be adding to it bit by bit. I also wish their coffee was a bit better, as I've found it weak on more than one visit. These are admittedly minor things that don't prevent one from being able to enjoy Pierre Gatel's culinary creations.
