Douce France - Palo Alto

The restaurant serves excellent cakes at a good price with friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. There is no pressure for a tip, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely return, as I had a delicious mousse cake for only $37.

I experienced severe food poisoning after consuming their chicken sandwich. I felt nauseous immediately after eating it and later that evening, I vomited twice and suffered from intense diarrhea. It is important to mention that the sandwich was the only food I had eaten that day.

The service was excellent - fast and friendly. The spinach salad was delicious.

Flaccid blond french onion soup with last week’s stale cement-like “toasted” baguette and cold strands of “gruyere” cheese that mght have been mozzarella. Very disappointed. Maybe chef has no experience with this soup.

Great coffee and amazing croissants. Love the chocolate croissants. Kitchen cooks a great breakfast. Staff is super friendly. Excellent cakes and desserts as well. Cecilio and Armando are fantastic baristas.
