From our beloved regulars
I had a splendid time trying some of the pastures and matcha/coffee drinks with my wife. Very friendly staff as well, namely Dakota who was very helpful. Would definitely come again to try more of their options.
Dakota was so helpful with my sister and I! It was our first time coming in and she helped us figure out what drinks we wanted and she executed them perfectly. Will definitely be back. 10/10 vibes and music.
Eden and Dakota allowed me to have the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a really long time. Just amazing food and great vibes. Also Dakota is a natural performer and overall joy!!
Petite Maman Cafe is such a lovely little spot. The place is beautiful, and both the cashier and barista were genuinely warm and friendly. The sandwich and pastries are great. I ordered The Emilie and it was so good. The iced café macchiato was also really nice and balanced. Just a heads-up: the space is quite small (very fitting with the name petite), so there aren’t many dine-in seats. Still, absolutely worth stopping by. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Such a beautiful place! Amazing staff, food was good and will forever be referenced as the “squiggly line” cause we could not figure out the name!
Dakota is absolutely hooking it up! Stopped by on a beautiful sunny spring day and grabbed an iced matcha that was smooth, refreshing, and exactly what I needed. Great vibes, friendly service, and the perfect spot to enjoy the weather.
Have you had the orange pistachio olive oil tea cake? No, well, then you haven’t yet lived. Nutty sweet moist crunchy tart perfect outer shell. I paired this with a cappuccino that of course had great milk foam art. I highly recommended a stop here. Small indoor space so only three spots for seating. But if it’s a nice day, they have cafe chairs and tables outdoors.
Dakota and her team was a 10/10 they did amazing on our drinks. I got an Matcha latte with vanilla. My sister got an iced vanilla latte with caramel and both of our drinks were great not too sweet not too bitter just right. Will be back maybe even tomorrow 🤪
This cafe is so adorable. I was so excited to find a place with vegan pastries to curb my sweet tooth :)! There were only 2 options, but they were good! They also sell super cute items in the store. There wasn’t much greeting or smiles from the employees, but they seemed busy and were not rude! The drink and pastries tasted good, but nothing to write home about. I’d definitely stop in here again if I’m in the area though!
This little spot is an absolute gem. It’s tiny—just a couple of small tables and a cozy counter—but that’s part of its charm. The space is beautifully decorated and feels warm and inviting the moment you walk in. The pastry case immediately caught my eye—it was packed (in the best way) with an array of incredible-looking sweets, and everything looked almost too good to choose from. You can tell a lot of care goes into what they make. There were only two people working when I visited, so things moved at a slightly relaxed pace, but honestly, it didn’t take away from the experience. Both staff members were friendly, professional, and made me feel welcome. I ordered the salted tahini honeycomb latte and a chocolate pistachio croissant, and wow—both were absolutely outstanding. The latte was perfectly balanced and unique, and the croissant was rich, flaky, and full of flavor. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with exceptional pastries and a thoughtfully crafted drink menu, this place is 100% worth the visit. I’ll definitely be back.
