This little cafe is big on crepes and they are delicious. Sweet or savory, the menu offers lots to choose from and they are fabulous. Generous servings, top quality ingredients and lovely service. A perfect place to meet a good friend and catch up on their cute patio or inside over an iced coffee.

Excellent breakfast of Brie-based salade d'épinards, crepe, egg, French saucissons and a perfect café au lait served in the proper bowl. At 11:00 AM, not that busy. You will pay a bit more for your meal but the return in value, authenticity and quality is greater than your additional outlay. Portions are generous. Best French food in Victoria and highly recommended to anyone liking this cuisine.

This is a non-fancy breakfast/lunch café with fancy food. The menu is limited, but the quality and flavours of the food are wonderful. We had the vegetarian crêpe and a spinach salad Both werelarge portion with Lingering lovely flavours. The ingredients used, is high-quality and especially the cheese for the salads. We would not hesitate to return to this café, even with the price point. Do note their cappuccinos do not come with strong coffee if that is important to you.

A very cozy place; we ordered crepes for breakfast, they are very tasty, but, in my opinion, the price is too high. If they were $4-5 cheaper, it would be perfect. As a true coffee enthusiast, I can say that the coffee is not impressive at all. We had a flat white, and it was too watery. It felt like it was made with water instead of milk. Nevertheless, the service is excellent; the food was prepared quickly, and the waitresses were friendly.

I brought my parents for brunch a few days ago and we all enjoyed everything! My husband and I dined at JOIE Grillades a few months ago and our date night was amazing. Love both places and can't wait to have another amazing dining experience with JOIE :) The owners are very attentive and friendly. Definitely enhanced our experience even better ! Thank you!

Cute cafe that serves savory and sweet crêpes, with croque monsieur and French onion soup. The food was good, the included side salad was surprisingly tasty. We were so full we couldn’t order a sweet crepe to share for dessert so we will be back! The round tables are quite small and can seat 2 to 3 people max. Service was pleasant. Need to expand their drinks menu, they do latte art but the drinks menu seems to be all espressos variations. Maybe add something like a London Fog latte or even a cappuccino.

Food quality was overall good except for the creme brulee. It was curdled and inedible. They did offer to take it off the bill but we declined. Also, more selection in the savory crepes would be a good idea.

Hi, I'm sorry for your experience. Just for your information, we didn't charge your cream brulee.

We sat outside and it was a bit noisy with the traffic on Cook St. It might be good to add a lattice screen to the patio. The food and service were excellent. We will go back.
