La Petite Sourie Café
A little French gem? You ask. Oui, Oui!
La Petite Sourie Café is an authentic French bakery, bistro, café. All their bakery items are baked fresh every day. They have a beautiful glass display case that holds all their beautiful macaroons, tarts, cookies, and individual desserts. They sell their homemade French baguettes in two sizes for take away. You need to get there early to purchase their chocolate croissants. They are open for breakfast and offer French toast, omelets, and Eggs Benedict along with their enticing pastries.
I have eaten lunch there twice now. My first visit, I ordered the Chicken Baguette Sandwich. It consisted of roasted chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, roasted peppers, cheese, grilled onions, avocado and mayo. You have a choice of a side salad or chips. The fresh French baguette is the star of this dish. Yum!
The second time I was there, I ordered the Parisien Baguette Sandwich which consisted of a lovely, creamy spread of butter, layered with ham, Swiss cheese and topped with Gherkins(French pickles). So simple, yet so good. I felt as though I were back in Paris again.
You order at the inside counter and can seat yourself either inside or outside, at little bistro tables and chairs.
If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend 
splitting a baguette sandwich with your dining companion and save room for those colorful, sparkly desserts in their beautiful glass display case.
A la prochaine! (until next time!)
