Crema's Take
“French Roast trades specialty coffee for the full European bistro experience, with a warm, attentive staff that genuinely makes you feel welcomed into their world. The brunch menu—think perfectly executed French onion soup and brioche French toast with fruit compote—matters as much as the coffee, making this the rare spot where you'll linger for hours over both food and conversation. If you're looking for meticulously crafted espresso drinks, look elsewhere; if you want that "little European café" feeling with genuinely caring service, this is your place.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →Steph was such a great server! Super friendly, helpful with the menu, and always checking in to make sure we were enjoying everything. She made our dinner even better. Would absolutely love to have her as our server again.

Food was ok (home fries were not warm) but plates were warm. Staff were very attentive and friendly. It was a windy day so the window seats were a bit cold. If you can, stay away from the window seatings
French Roast is a delight for food, drink, and atmosphere. We Ate brunch at around 1030 AM. Everything was delicious! The Brioche French Toast was light and sweet and the fruit compote added the perfect amount of tart to the meal. The Shakshuka is delightful and full of spices!…
Came her for Saturday brunch with some friends. The restaurant is styled as a classic French brasserie and had lots of outdoor seating. The French onion soup and croque madames were perfection. We ate every last bite. Only negative was that one friend had an omelet that wasn’t…
