This place is so charming!! Though it’s newer it is my new favorite place! It is authentically French! My sister just came back from France and it felt like she was transported back. Part of me wants to keep this a hidden gem but everyone should experience it! The staff and owner were so sweet. My sister even had a great conversation with him in French! I will be back!!
Today morning I visited Olala Cafe, a French cafe, and I must say I was genuinely impressed by everything.I first came across this place a couple of weeks ago on Instagram and read about how it was started by a father-son duo. I also noticed they had opened very recently, and after seeing nothing but great reviews on Google, I knew I had to try it.As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the father, which instantly made the experience feel so welcoming and personal. The ambience itself felt very French, from the portraits on the walls to the cutlery and overall vibe of the place.
Best croissant you’ll get without going to France. Atmosphere is cozy like a European cafe. The owner was walking around checking on guests and their satisfaction with their orders. The only downfall is I don’t live here and can’t come everyday.
