Be warned, because the French Coffee Shop is so easy to drive past since it is tucked in a small strip center. Having said that, it is worth the effort to locate. You will be \"transported to France\" by the unusual decor. If you judged the restaurant by their store front and decor, you would miss a delightful culinary experience - DON\"T JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER. \n\nOrder the French Onion Soup to start with. While you can expect to wait about 20 minutes, which is stated on the menu and the waitstaff typically states this as well, the time will pass with tremendous anticipation. Before coming here, I never liked French Onion Soup. Almost everywhere else that serves French Onion Soup prepares it so the only thing that one typically tastes (other than the onion) is SALT. This is not the case here. Upon delivery of the perfectly seasoned soup, the first thing you notice is the beautiful solid layer of \"three foot thick\" golden melted cheese that blankets the bronzed onions and the broth soaked crouton. Insider Tip, don't forget to scrape the thin, crunchy pieces of cheese from the side of the bowl - they taste just like a cheese cracker.\n\nNow, either get the chicken sandwich on French bread with a bechamel sauce or go for a savory or sweet (desert) crepe, you will be satisfied with your choice. The savory crepes are generally heavier than the sweet. If you get the soup and share the sandwich or savory crepes, you won't need to eat again until the next day. \n\nWhile many of the people I have dined here with love the coffee, I have always found their French Roast very strong and somewhat bitter. I am not surprised by this though, I have never found French Roast Coffee to be my cup of tea."^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . .
