Place not to be missed!!

This place never guarantees you a seat. But once you get in, it feels so cozy. The lemon tart here is simply to die for. Must visit place for pastry lovers.

Visited the Cafe de Flore website? And see the smiling waiters? Well...

If there was a way to describe the antagonism of what must be washed-up intellectuals or fashion house rejects sitting outside this "most famous coffee shop" and the sneering waiters using a video which we took on here, I would most certainly share! Not the...More

Atmosphere is okay. ( that’s why not just one star) Foods and drinks are just disappointed. Normal grocery stores like Tesco and etc has better croissant than theirs. Not to mention their €8 orange juice which is sour and mixed with water. Pricey, below average...More

Tourist Trap

The allure of Cafe de Flore escapes me. It is ridiculously overpriced. 11.50 Euros for a small dish of strawberries. Ice cream was 15 Euro. An assortment of Poilane breads 16.50 Euro. My recommendation is to walk by, look at the crowds (all smoking) and...More

Horrible food, only good for people watching and drinks

Save yourself the money and your poor tastebuds and eat somewhere else. The place is very fun for people watching but the food is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! I ate the Chèvre Chaud (hot chèvre cheese on toast) and it was absolutely horrifying. Would this be in...More
