Lovely little French café on Foothill! The staff who work here and own the place are so kind. Lovely hospitality that contributes to a jovial ambience. The food and coffee were great, both generous in portion and quality. While I might not categorize their offerings as completely authentic French cuisine, I had a lovely visit to this cafe and recommend it to locals! P.S. The bakery goods look so good!

A hidden Gem!!! I was looking for a nice place to grab a breakfast early in the morning in the are and this place caught my eye. I stopped by to check it out and it turned out to be a great discovery for me. If you really craving for French pastries and amazing breakfast and crapes this is a place to be. Cozy and inviting. Food quality is top notch. Really recommend. They also put their breads and pastry out at local farmers markets.

Extremely sweet people and delicious food. Strongly recommend the ham, mushroom, cheese crepe, but maybe ask them to go easy on the cheese, unless you have time for a nap after! We also smashed a pistachio croissant. So beautiful and tasty!

We are so lucky to have France Cafe at our Camarillo Farmers Market each Saturday. We love the sour dough breads but just indulged in their amazing lasagna - traditional very cheesy and meaty. It was only $18.00 with serving for two.

Extremely hospitable and kind, the service was fast, and the food was amazing. The pastrami panini here is officially one of my favorite pastrami sandwiches I've had. The atmosphere was nice, I loved all the delicious treats, and overall just really a great spot. Perfect place to go for a breakfast/lunch date!

This is a traditional quaint French eatery without frills. The ambiance, to use a French word, is simple and homy. My only concern was the limited space. I wish it had more seating. The food is good and the staff is friendly. I had the creamy butternut squash soup and the special of the day chicken dish. They were both very hearty and tasty.

Do you want to visit France without getting on a plane, then this little cafe is where you should visit. We had a couple of amazing sandwiches (with a side salad and potato salad), a bowl of butternut squash soup and a croissant with homemade marmalade. All the food was so delicious. Definitely putting this on my favorites list!
