An authentic French café which makes a very pleasant change from the chain coffee shops. It’s a good idea to read the info on their web pages/social media (also displayed in their window) to understand how they do things. Don’t come here if you’re in a hurry & want a pre-packaged sandwich right now! But do come here if you’re prepared to wait a few minutes while everything is freshly made for you. If you want to practise your French, you absolutely can. There are books here and the staff will happily take your order in either French or English You pay when you order your food, so if you’d like to leave a tip after you’ve eaten, bring some coins/cash with you

Piece of French Heaven in heart of Warrington that never disappoints. Have been coming here with my other half - it’s mad how good the croissants are. The breakfasts are light and tasty. Coffee fresh and balanced. Lunch, is where the stuff is happening: tasty, giving you something truly French. And the couple running the place know their stuff and are truly kind souls. My favourite piece of France in UK.

Gourmand offers a taste of truly authentic French cuisine! A note for brunch lovers: reservations for their Sunday offering are essential and should be made by Friday at the latest (lesson learned!). While I missed out on the brunch this time, the sight of several tables filled with eager, pre-booked customers spoke volumes. My coffee and cakes were delightful. The added bonus of free parking on Sundays is a plus. I'm already looking forward to returning to experience their highly anticipated French brunch – I'm definitely intrigued!

We were lucky to be able to book for their Christmas meal. Excellent menu and food. Olivia and Julien are very friendly and know how to bring to Warrington excellent authentic French cuisine at an affordable price. It feels authentic because it is. Thank you for this lovely Christmas lunch. We will definitely come again.

On a fleeting visit to Warrington I came across this cafe. I had a fantastic meal, the owners were extremely friendly and helpful when selecting what to eat. The food is clearly very fresh and in many cases home made. Everything was delicious. I could not recommend more.

Such a cute boulangerie! The croissant was the best I've ever had and I will definitely be back for pastries and cake! The owners genuinely care about authentic french cuisine and were so nice and welcoming! I definitely recommend this for a nice brunch or breakfast!

Relaxing place for a lunch. I had the soup of the day an aromatic veloute and croutons, cod loin in breadcrumb with rice and ratatoille, and an angelic coffee mousse, all with a smooth coffee. Fabulous !
