“ Such a lovely cafe/bakery--one of the best in the city! Great place to study or for a causal chat. I'm obsessed with the Merveilleux, I get it EVERYTIME I swing by without fail. It brings me so much joy!! Occasionally I add on their chocolate croissants, a delightful breakfast item. Sit by the windows for a light and airy backdrop for studying/working ”

“ Love this place - bright, airy and nice space with great people. Greeted with a smile by the staffs. They have a bunch of French pastry options but I just got a cappuccino. It was ok lol too frothy and coffee doesnt taste great but I really like the space and would come back to work or read. ”

“ I stopped here on my way downtown soon after opening - there was a line of about 5 people in front of me, but service was quick and friendly! The barista was nice and I enjoyed my latte and chocolate pretzel croissant. I took my items to-go, but noticed they had nice seating areas that others were utilizing. ”

“ Cute French bakery good pastries and coffee. Loved the staff they are very friendly and helpful. The cafe is bright and welcoming. Plenty of space to sit and catch up with friends. I would support a local place like this over a big box store. ”

“ Delicious pastries! I had a napoleon and coffee. I enjoyed them both and made quick work of them! ”

“ Went to the French bakery with mom for an afternoon coffee. There wasn't a long and line and there were some available seating area on a Tuesday afternoon. The drinks were rich and satisfying. There were baked goods that looked amazing even though I didn't try any on this trip. The French flag outside made it easy to locate. Seems like a nice spot for tourists since it's near many hotels. The interior design is cute. ”

“ Obsessed with this place especially their chocolate croissants and poppyseed cake. Really can't go wrong with anything here, love the baked goods and coffee. It's often my treat to myself and coworkers as it provides a morale boost. ”

“ Yelp pointed us to this little spot on the corner of 12th and Walnut Street. I really enjoyed a variety of their pastries. My favorites were their mushroom and spinach quiche, apple tart, and canele. Even a local who helped us with directions to this place said we won't be disappointed with the food and we surely weren't. I think the downfall is the lack of seating. It's really a small shop with one table by the window and two chairs. This place is meant to be a grab and go. We had kids in tow so we wanted to sit down and enjoy our pastries. Like a handful of places in Philly, this one was also not very double stroller friendly. My husband carried our stroller up the short staircase which wasn't a problem. I just found it odd how they didn't offer to help like what other places did. Also I found them a bit stand offish when we ordered. They forgot my canele and also corrected me in a stand offish way when I pronounced it "cannoli". But the pastries were definitely worth the visit. ”

“ Everything about this cafe was delightful. Located on a quiet street, J'aime was charming and cozy. I ordered a quiche Loraine and an iced coffee and sat inside for a few hours to work on a Sunday morning. The quiche was rich and flavorful and the service was quick. A wonderful experience! ”

“ I'm so grateful for this French bakery that is around the corner from my home. The croissants and baguettes are amazing. The coffee is always delicious and fresh. I usually get a latte and croissant on my way to work. The staff is engaging and they suggest delicious flavors for my latte, and I've liked all of them. Pistachio latte is definitely worth a try! ”
