I stopped in here for lunch one day last week. I had been wanting to check it out for a while since it is just down the street from my office. The reviews saying it was expensive kept me away but now after seeing the menu I don't think it so bad compared to other places in the area. You really can't get a lunch for less than $10 anywhere in Old Town Scottsdale unless you do fast food or the food court in the mall. I thought the place was decorated super cute and with a nice relaxing atmosphere and the staff was very friendly.
But the food was just kind of average. I had a 1/2 panini and soup and they both pretty much tasted like something I could make at home. I also took home a couple of pastries (now those are way overpriced, I agree) that also were not too impressive. I will definitely give them another try just since they are so close. Hopefully some of their other menu items will be better. They did have great smelling cappuccinos so I may try to sneak out some time for a mid-morning coffee and croissant.
I think this is a cute little French cafe to stop by for a quick lunch if you are in the area but I would definitely agree with Suzanne S. that it is not a destination restaurant at all. There are a lot better options nearby.
