Cafe Au Chocolat - Menu

for lunch on a rainy day with a wet and very big dog stopped! the personal could not have been more friendly and accommodating. savoury crepes were fantastic, we all decided differently and there was everything so good! this place is much more than coffee and...repeat, really different and such a good sound. would really recommend.

this time for a fast espresso and chocolate stopped, but had a brunch godet and coffee here before. I just love it. polit friendly and efficient service, eating was delicious and the coffee is particularly well brewed. the French chocolates are somewhat heavenly, and the galette was my favorite breakfast for a long time. there is also a beautiful mood at the place where the employees seem to really enjoy being there. really hard to blame, they keep it on team!

Waited ages in a cold part of the cafe to get a savoury crepe rudely plonked onto our table. The crepe was stringy cheese with sparse chicken and red peppers with a cardboard texture crepe and to top it off lukewarm! There was a queue...for the toilet near where people were eating and the table had bits of food from previous customers on it. The staff were extremely unfriendly and all in all this was a very unpleasant experience and overpriced for a mediocre tasteless crepe. We will definitely not be returning to this place again.

Queued patiently to order some cakes and was ignored several times by members of staff, eventually they tried to serve the gentleman behind me who kindly pointed out that I was in front of him, they still ignored me and walked off to clean tables,...again another member of staff tried to serve the gentleman behind me who again commented that I was in front of him (and also joked I must be invisible) again I was ignored but eventually got the attention of a member of staff who spoke to me like absolute rubbish and told me that as the gentleman behind was paying his bill he would be served first. After 10mins of queuing I gave up and walked out.

Apologies if this seems like a single issue review but we tried several independent coffee shops in the centre of Stamford at 4.30pm. All but cafe au chocolate seem to stop serving anything but takeaway 30 minutes before the published closing time, eg Strays, Black...and White. We also tried Skandimania and another but not sure what their published closing time us but takeaway only Anyway, lovely aromas in C au C, great service and lovely coffee. Good selection of drinks and pastries. We didn't have time to eat but the crepes looked really tasty. They were, deservedly, very busy and our order was slightly delayed so we were given delicious petit fours.

I'm trying to be fair in ensuring that the wet weather drove in more customers than expected, however there doesn't seem to be an system in place for placing and taking customer orders. Things started well when a young lady greeted us at the door...and told us it was table service and found us a lovely high table. However, other customers warned us we may need to jog their memory. I went to the counter to ask to place an order and then within a few minutes two people asked for our order. The crepes came quickly and were very good as well as good coffee. If only the management could sort a system where everyone knew who had come in and take their order quickly they would turn over places more...

Decided to try this place out on a trip to Stamford, looked really nice from the outside, and when we went in we were greeted by 2 nice ladies, sat in a quiet corner ordered 2 coffees and 2 pastries, I ordered Regular size coffees,...which were really small, my fault I should have ordered Large, the pastries were ok, not the best but not the worst either, my main bug bear was that we had to listen to disco music, not the right ambience for us, some people will obviously like that, but for us going for a coffee is a relaxing past time. There did look to be some lovely cakes in the display area, which on another day I would have tried, so overall I'd say decent but nothing special and not the...

today with my mother and my man randomly called and we would not have wanted to be better informed. the afternoon for 2 was delicious and definitiw good price-performance ratio, also another turn on the standard afternoon. the ham and cheese...crepe was fresh and tasty, very generous with the beats. already told family and friends of our visit and will be back at the next opportunity. the only problem is that my man is being worked up, which he will order at his next visit, as he enjoyed the afternoon so much, but really wants a crepe. we have to make an early morning and a lunch trip! the staff was very friendly and attentive. Wifi password on the table. toilets very clean. and dog friendly...

I think what does not make us go back here most is the terrible mood and service of the team leader/manager who is always her with blond hair. she speaks with such a claim to her personal and as a customer it is not...not to see. we felt so sorry for the rest of the staff that seemed so real and warm while their “leader” was the opposite. “Go and ask * to stay longer” was as she did not speak with a waitress or thank you. Then the waitress came back and let her know what they said, and she didn't even say thank you. there were several things like this, as unnecessary rude and flippant. at the order we were told “Bake items sell at 11am” as we should know?! here is an idea if articles they se...
