L'Experience Paris - Mercer Island

It's like a quick trip to France right on Mercer Island! Excellent quality and service with a variety of traditional French pastries and entrees. I also like browsing their selection of gifts and food and wine. Macarons keep my coming back for special occasions. Highly recommend lunch, brunch, or shopping to spoil yourself or a friend.

This is a great place for breakfast and coffee. The service is friendly and efficient. I had an egg benedict croissant and an americano. It was all perfectly done and it's a place I'd like to visit more often, maybe try the bakery too.

The pastries on display look old, but what comes out is new and delicious. I had an almond croissant and a sandwich called La, California. Both are delicious. Personally, I prefer the almond cream to be a bit sweeter, but it is good enough. Sandwiches were good baguettes. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice. I felt the plants would make the place even more wonderful. Likewise the Issaquah store, I like the atmosphere and the French blue here. The cashier lady was nice and calm. The espresso was possibly a medium roast. I ordered a latte, but I could taste the milk. I didn't find it to be acidic, which I prefer. I think it is a well adjusted and extracted espresso with a good balance of bitterness. Overall, I like it.

I am really not much of a foodie, but this place has some of the best pastries I’ve ever had. The small cheesecakes are SO good. It has recently become me and my fiances weekly coffee spot. I will say that a couple of times I have got coffee here it really was not too good which is a shame since they have the fancy La Marzocco and good beans.

Today I decided to try the Pain au chocolat, or chocolatine as I knew them from my childhood summer trips to the south of France, from the best rated Mercer Island bakeries. I am here to say this fellow conquered my palate, was beautifully flaky and the taste of delicious butter was in every single bite. The filling was amazing, the chocolate was not too sweet but just perfect, it melted in my mouth after each bite. The whole combination was splendid, defectless. Highly recommend it. As for the location, I wasn't tempted enough to stay. However it was clean and filled with happy costumers.

Charming spot with wonderful staff and,most importantly, great coffee and delicious and delicate pastries.

Delicious food, definitely the best pain au chocolat in Seattle!! The decor is very pretty and aesthetic!
