Mademoiselle Colette - Menlo Park, California

Ordered a cake for my husband’s birthday. Please take a look at what I received vs what the online picture looks like. Are you serious?

Updated review: Received a follow up call after my previous review and they offered to remake the cake for me! The cake was pretty and met the expectations.

French pastry / cafe / bistro that serves an excellent collection using local ingredients with authentic french methods and presentation. The establishment has a limiting but delectably displayed counter service so one cannot expect in-dining service though the dining area will extend from an outdoor street seating into the main counter area and towards the rear section. Service is prompt and efficient at the counter. The food would match a waited service as well given its solid and preaentable savory dishes with good plating and silverware. As mentioned the baked goods and pastries are the main draw which are ample in serving sizes. A good place for brunches with small groups. Expect queues of loyal clientelle during opening hours and weekend brunch times.

Sadly I was very disappointed..we checked reviews and said this place sounds great.
We both got the avocado toast and honestly the bread was too hard to cut so you could eat it easier. The egg was boiled and literally sat on top of a corner of the bread. Its was almost tasteless which was so surprising. The salad is so tasteless, definitely skip it. Tiny portions for both.
The lemon tart was pretty good but the 10.50 price was hella steep.
Not worth it.
The coffee was very good.
My friend and I spent $87.00 with tip and the only thing good was the tart n my coffee.
Literally getting out of control for these prices...at least make it taste good.
I had to bring it all home due to the hard to cut bread and I just couldn't eat soggy lettuce with no taste.
I'm still baffled at the hard boiled egg on top that rolled off as you tried to eat it. Lol I regret going and giving them 87.00 for just 2 people.

Everything we have ever gotten here has been absolutely delicious. Weekend mornings are really crowded so be ready to wait in a line. It goes quickly though! There is lovely outdoor seating! Be warned that they aren’t the friendliest about children. We are used to that here in the Bay Area though. Great for breakfast or just pastries. The pastries change regularly which keeps up coming back to try new things.

Definitely, five stars. Wonderful service and the food is amazing! We had the croque madame and my first thought was, wow better than Paris. They also, very sweetly, gifted my mom a Raspberry Macaroon for her birthday 💕💕which was delicious!

My recent visit of Mademoiselle Colette was an amazing experience. The pastry and dessert selection was out of this world, especially the croissant salmon benedict. The flaky, buttery croissant was the perfect base for the rich and flavorful smoked salmon, topped with a perfectly cooked egg and hollandaise sauce. It was truly délicieux! I couldn’t resist to only have one item for the dessert so I ordered a lot more: a Paris Brest, a slice of the hazelnut cake, and of course a croissant! Best decision!
Whether you're a local or just visiting, the delicious food and charming atmosphere will transport you straight to Paris. Je recommande fortement! Voilà.

Love all the pastry here. The almond croissant is also delicious. My favoeites is the croque monsieur.

The best french bakery in the area for sure. Their best item i have tried so far is the almond croissant. The best breads and breakfast sandwiches in Menlo Park Downtown Santa Cruz Ave area. Other Madam Collete stores in Palo Alto and Redwood City are great as well.
