From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’ve been transported to a rustic café in Provence—warm wood interiors, charming patio, and the smell of fresh espresso and butter in the air. I ordered the pain perdu (French toast), and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had—crispy on the edges, custardy in the center, and topped with perfectly caramelized fruit. My friend had the omelette aux fines herbes and it was light, fluffy, and packed with flavor. Their lavender honey is also a beautiful touch—don’t skip it if it’s on the menu! The service was friendly and attentive, even on a busy morning. Expect a bit of a wait if you go on a weekend, but it’s absolutely worth it. The outdoor patio is a lovely bonus if the weather is nice. La Note isn’t just breakfast—it’s a whole experience. Can’t wait to come back! Price per person: $10–20

It does get a little crowded and a little noisy even though they've tried to mitigate it. It's still really bad if you can eat in the backyard. You're golden but eating inside the restaurant makes you feel like you're in a crowded food hall. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Price per person: $20–30
