La Parisienne French And Bakery - Aiken

Came here at 230 on Sunday. They state they are open till 5. Kitchen closed magically when we got there but don’t worry they offered me a sandwich that looked as if it had been sitting there all day.

Great brunch place. The quiche was great! Good mimosas and coffees, too! The outdoor seating area is dog friendly.

Tried this restaurant for the first time. We had the French Toast and the smoked salmon and greyere quiche. The French toast had a great flavor sweet and delicious with the berries, powdered sugar and syrup! The bread crust had just a bit of crispness to it from the pan which I love. The quiche had a great flavor and the texture was decadent!! So light and airy! Both got a side of bacon! The pastries and pre made sandwiches looked tasty too! Will be back!

I’ll give it one star for my previous experience eating here. Their quiche is pretty good……that’s about it. If you want quality customer service forget it. The last two times I have been here, I have waited over 5 minutes to order and not one employee bothered greeting us or telling us one moment please. I get places are short staffed, but not to the point where at least six employees see you and not greet you. Maybe I’m picky about customer service since I know how I use to train my employees. There is ALWAYS time to say hello.Also, per my husband if you want to wait over 30 minutes for a simple order and they’re not even busy, go ahead.

Find me a new spot for quality coffee and pastries and you will find me happy. Such was the case on what seemed an uneventful afternoon. It began as such; I had lunch, I was tired, I opened the Yelp app to find a place to get coffee. And then, they appeared. I had planned to visit for some time, for coffee and some sweets, but just never had. I knew this was my time. The place is tucked away in a beautiful historic house. I inadvertently used the side door, but I 'm not sure it matters. There is plenty of room for the seating (both indoor and outdoor and for movement. The front of the place, where you order and such, has a lower ceiling (maybe a former patio/porch space? which adds a sense of separation from everything else. It goes without saying that you hit with almost as many amazing aromas as you are options for food and drinks. Bread breaking, freshing pulled espresso shots, warm semisweet chocolate. I went with my first visit go-to, an Americano. And a couple of danishes. All of it was gone before I exited the parking lot. Shame on me for missing out on such a delightful business in Aiken! I shall be returning soon.
