Alex ADSDecember 27, 2014Do we have to introduce THE Café de Flore ? Outrageous prices, wannabe starlets and sugar daddies, old broken divas, superfast and cold service, Fodor's japanese readers... Welcome to the legend !
miss jenningsJune 18, 2010Enjoying a cafe and croissant on a shady pavement table outside one of Saint Germain's great literary cafes is one of the ultimate Parisian experiences, and even though the prices are totally over the
Huda AlfarisSeptember 19, 2021They had no croissant when we went so we ordered creme brûlée and apparently it came straight from heaven
Daria TienbuschSeptember 4, 2013The best onion soup ever 😍😍😍 and don't forget to get a glass of Kir Royal of Moët Chandon with cassis and enjoy the magic of this place where Ernest Hemingway wrote his A Moveable Feast
Arjun BalajiOctober 16, 2017AMAZING hot chocolate; get the DEFAULT kind, the Viennese left much to be desired
ILYA SPECJanuary 8, 2015Expensive but might worth it for those who knows the history of this place :)
Elizabeth BrooksNovember 3, 2012Fabulous. The salads are good. Eat upstairs to avoid the tourists and hang out with writers and fashion biz.
Katie SchlossFebruary 10, 2012A Salade Flore & a Café au Lait is the perfect combination for people watching, especially when Karl Lagerfeld is a regular.
For Coffee lovers, skip their black coffee and order a double espresso
Anna Paula MásSeptember 26, 2021Honestly… overrated. Always full of people, both times I’ve been here I got disappointed. Breakfast: bread was not so fresh. Lunch: onion soup looked and tasted like dirty water with oil floating.
Bir İçmimarın MabediDecember 10, 2014Incredibble. Take a seat have a drink and watch Paris with the soul of Van Gogh
Katherine BellandoJuly 9, 2013Get the cheese plate and club sandwich and don't miss the profiteroles fourrees
Christoph WernliDecember 13, 2013Soupe à l'oignon: you'll have to eat it with knife and fork. Recommended on a cold day.
Maryam PkzdJuly 30, 2022Be ready to stand in a queue for half an hour if you prefer a sidewalk table 😅
Hande ErfusMay 7, 2017A classic spot. It is just a bit too pretentious that they dont bring an extra cup for the hot chocolate, i.e.: no sharing. Croissants are average.
Eric JanuarNovember 14, 2016Decent coffee and pastries, HORRIBLE SERVICE.. to be expected I guess if you don't speak French and not dressed well enough..
Duygu A.GMarch 6, 2016Very expensive and crowded. Maybe because it was sunday but prefer to have less people around. But perfect service and delicious breakfast.
Ieva AndrukaitytėMarch 3, 2017Good for people watching but rather expensive. Try their lovely hot chocolate!
Ben RAugust 24, 2014Charming and historic. The ambiance is better than the food, but what an ambiance.

Apparu au début de la Troisième République, en 1885, le café doit son nom à une sculpture de la déesse du printemps Flore, située de l'autre côté du Boulevard Saint-Germain.
