Cafe Ficelle

I was disappointed that 3.75 / for a Small cup of plain brewed coffee, nothing fancy, was $1 for a refill. After tasting the lukewarm coffee, I did not want a refill. Noting the portions were quite large, we split the Croque Monsieur. 80% was pretty good (the bread was not fresh). One corner's right angle, a full centimeter deep, extending two cm along each edge, was so hard that neither could the tines of my fork, nor my knife could pierce it. The accompanying fruit cup was generous and fresh. Despite the very sweet cashier, $22 was a bit high. We might return to have the Salmon Crepe, as it was obvious that guest was thoroughly enjoying it. But, we will skip the coffee.

I would give them a 5 if it wasn't for their lack of generosity with the coffee. The baked good are great and I am there almost every morning but at $3.75 for a 12 to 16 or cup, they will not give even a single refill or provide other more affordable coffee selection. Recommend for the owner to take notice of the business model at the popular Paris Baguette in Encino where they give customers a good balance of "quality" and "varied" bake goods, sandwiches and coffee at more "reasonable" prices.
