There is a little corner of France tucked into Nashville, and it smells like fresh butter and warm croissants. That corner is Olala Cafe, at 818 Palmer Pl, with genuine French antiques and 100% organic coffee.

If you have never done brunch the French way, welcome. We are here to walk you through it. Whether you want something sweet, something savory, or a little of both, here is exactly what to order.

Start With a Croissant, Always

We are the Home of the Croissant, so this is where every good morning begins. Our croissants are baked fresh, folded by hand, and made the way they are back in Provence.

Here is where to start:

• Classic Croissant: buttery, flaky, and honestly perfect on its own for $5
• Pain au Chocolat: warm chocolate tucked into golden layers for $6
• Almond Croissant: a little sweet, a little nutty, and always a crowd favorite for $6.5
• Nutella Croissant: for the mornings when you deserve a treat, priced at $6.5

Feeling generous? Grab a box of 6 for $36 or a box of 12 for $69 and be everyone's favorite person at the table.

For the Savory Brunch Crowd

If you like your brunch hearty, our toast and croissant sandwiches are the move. Each one is simple, fresh, and built on quality ingredients.

Our favorites for a filling plate:

1. Croque Monsieur: the French classic done right for $13
2. Avocado Toast: creamy, fresh, and made to order at $13.5
3. Salmon Toast: smoked salmon done the French way for $14.5
4. Parisian Croissandwich: everything you love in a croissant, made into a sandwich for $12

Want to make any toast even better? Add a poached egg for just $2. You will not regret it.

Crepes for the Best of Both Worlds

Crepes are where French brunch really shines, and we take ours seriously. Every savory crepe comes with a side salad topped with Olala's own dressing, so you get a full plate.

For the savory side, try these:

• Ham & Cheese: the crepe that never goes out of style for $14.5
• Pesto & Chicken: fresh, herby, and satisfying at $15.5
• Smoked Salmon: elegant and easy to love for $15.5

And when the sweet tooth calls, we have you covered:

• Sugar & Lemon: light, bright, and simple for $7
• Nutella: rich and gooey in the best way at $8.5
• Strawberry & Cream: fruity, creamy, and made for spring mornings for $9

Do Not Skip the Coffee

We are proud to serve 100% organic coffee beans, and it shows in every cup. Whether you want something strong or something creamy, we have a drink for you.

A few brunch pairings we love:

• Cappuccino: smooth, foamy, and comforting for $5.5
• Latte: your gentle, cozy morning companion at $6.25
• Matcha Tea Latte: earthy and calming for $6.5
• Iced Freddo: cold, bold, and refreshing for $4.5

Prefer tea? We have Earl Grey, Mint, and a warming Masala Chai waiting for you too.

Save Room for Something Sweet

No French brunch is complete without dessert, even at breakfast. Yes, we said it, and yes, we mean it.

End your meal with one of these:

• Crème Brûlée: crackly on top, silky underneath, priced at $8
• Cinnamon Roll: warm, gooey, and generous for $6.5
• Vanilla Cheesecake: creamy and just sweet enough at $12
