An absolute French delight in the most unlikely of locations. This cafe is attached to an office building and even using the restroom means you have to go into the main part of the building. Chloe's is a classic example (I am saying this all the time to the opposite effect)....If the food is good the people will come! Doesn't matter where you are...Likewise, an ocean front view doesn't make the food good...
Pastries that make you question if you needed your passport to get here!! I love the uniform lines of classically prepared French Pastries. We sampled several and I promise none of them were a disappointment!
I had the "Garden Nicoise" salad. A delicious bright array of garden fresh vegetables, tuna, perfectly cooked hardboiled eggs and balsamic vinaigrette. Of course, a nice big piece of fresh chewy Baguette to go along side. Refreshing, healthy, satisfying and perhaps most importantly...Delicious!!
My Brother had the "Crepe du Jour" Filled with wild mushrooms and cheese in a buckwheat crepe. I'm not big on "sharing" but this was a family lunch so we were all reaching and sharing. This was so yummy. I highly recommend it!
Finally for Mom...Croque Monsieur
A French original. Classic preparation and amazing! A side of house made pickles...it was a perfect lunch!
So, in the tradition of what we learned in kindergarten, (that most of us forgot immediately), NEVER judge a book by its cover. You never know when you might miss out on classical French faire in an office park in Santa Rosa, CA... Bon Apetit!!
