Frenchies Cafe
612 Avenida Victoria, San Clemente, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into San Clemente's coastal landscape, this café delivers a genuinely lovely patio experience where quality lattes meet ocean views framed by swaying palms—the kind of setting that makes a morning coffee feel like a small vacation. Beyond the exceptional atmosphere, they've earned serious praise for their crepes and French-inspired sandwiches, paired with attentive service that keeps regulars coming back and first-timers planning their return visit.”

Wow, what a find! This place is fantastic. You can’t beat the view of the palm trees and the ocean while sitting on the patio, enjoying the perfect temperature of a nice, good quality latte, and dreaming about the mixed flavors that the berries crepe & the bacon and eggs crepe has. Our server was friendly and professional. The food and drinks here are quality and the view is extra! Metered parking in front with lo-Fi beats in the cafe to complete your relaxing experience. Outdoor seating on a quiet Wednesday late afternoon. Everything is presented beautifully (see pics). They have cool merch for sale inside! Definitely will be coming back for more!
I ordered the Frenchies sandwich and it was absolutely phenomenal. The service was excellent, and the patio seating made the whole experience even better with its gorgeous view of the ocean and palm trees. I definitely recommend this place. The grandkids loved their crepes too, which made it a win all around.
We come to San Clemente from Pennsylvania to visit family twice a year and have been doing so for over 15 years. We were pleasantly surprised to find a new restaurant at the location of the previous La Galette. And I have to say, Frenchies is a wonderful surprise! The crepes and the coffees we enjoyed today were fantastic, delicious and with a beautiful presentation. The service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely become regular customers on our visits and happily recommend to everyone. Frenchies is a great addition to San Clemente.
Great food for a perfect morning! Staff courteous, friendly, professional, and attentive. First time here and will be coming back for more!
Great crepes! Had the apple chicken crepe and the berry crepe. Coffee was not great but the food was super good.
