What User likes about Cafe Du Journal:
Both my two experiences eating there have been fantastic so far, great soup and friendly staff, clean tables out the front on a quiet road in a sunny spacious spot. I didn't use it but like their quirky little outdoor tap and sink... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Cafe Du Journal:
it is a beautiful little spot, but I felt like it was very scattered with all the items on sale. we were in a waiting queue for only one coffee for at least 15 minutes. the service is friendly but away too slow. the baked were freshly baked and looked ineffective! View all feedback.

Always nice good, strong coffee, although service lately was a little slow

Very nice service. good selection for breakfast, sweet, pikant, ei, both traditional and modern. good t-shirt!

Not bad, tad expensive for small portions, but dog friendly.

The staff was very helpful, the coffee was fantastic as the cake. very fast service, although they were ready for a meal for funeral visitors. will definitely b...

Delicious food and coffee, people there so kind, beautiful place!

Cafe Du Journal is a charming spot with a cluttered interior but friendly service. Pastries are fresh, but hot food quality has declined. Outside seating is a plus, though ordering must be done inside. The decor is lovely, and the menu offers a decent breakfast selection. Service can be slow, but the staff is polite. The welcoming atmosphere caters to swimmers and dogs alike, with a focus on serving the community. Overall, a user-friendly cafe with a diverse menu, excellent pastries, and a personal touch from the owner. Perfect for a casual meal or a relaxing coffee break.
