Sounds Good

This small bakery/restaurant is the place to eat in the square its in (i can’t recall its name even though it is right next to me). The square has a chipotle, subway, and other places, but they don’t match the quality of Champagne. My first impression was that was amazement. The food all sounded very delicious, and the display case was an utterly ridiculous array of pastries, breads, and desserts.

After two trips, I’ve hit earth again, and i’m giving it four stars. The food is very good, but i would not quite rate it 5 stars. The atmosphere is nice and casual, and warrants a nice place to relax and eat some french goodies.

Dishes I tried:

This is pictured everywhere in the bakery. Its tasty, and seems to get tastier as you eat it. I’ll admit that it IS a bit too cheesy, though.

I originally wanted the blueberry twist but they were out =(. The beginning was just croissant, but once i got the tasty filling, the croissant went from disappointment to fulfilling.

omelets, paninis, and croissants!!!

I am gonna have to agree with everyone else and say that this place is very tasty. All the dishes that they offer sound absolutely delicious, and it is a struggle to figure out what to eat. Not only is the food great, but you don’t have a wait a super long time. And if you are really on the go, you can just grab one of the pastries, which are also great. The only downside is that some of the items seem a little expensive, but the prices overall seem justifiable. The pastry items are overpriced in my opinion though. I think people in the area should try this place at least once, because it is quality stuff.

Dishes I tried:

Chicken Spinach, & Gorgonzola Omelet

A very fluffy omelet stuffed with a lot of spinach. The chicken is alright, though it would be dry if not for the gorgonzola and spinach. The gorgonzola makes the omelet super tasty, and the bites with a lot of it were the best.

Garlic Beef & Cheddar Panini

Every bite of this panini was rich and super delicious. The bread was crisp, buttery, and delightful. The cheese and and beef also were great. I loved this sandwich.

Chocolate Croissant

The croissant part was flaky, and very good. It could have used more chocolate in my opinion. It was also slightly overpriced for just a croissant. Tasty though!

gorgeous desserts, great cafe

champagne is a great place to go if you’re looking for a casual breakfast/lunch place, but wanting something a little snazzy. if you’re craving something sweet, champagne is also an excellent choice as they have a gorgeous display of mouth-watering desserts.
they have a patio in front of the store, also.
would i eat here again? you betcha – the food is delicious!

Dishes I tried:

Brioche French Toast

4 soft, squishy round french toast topped w/powdered sugar and fresh strawberry slices. syrup served on the side. i’d have no problems ordering this again.

Garlic Beef & Cheddar Panini

  • 4.0 star rating

i just had a bite, but it sure was delicious. roast beef w/melted cheddar sandwiched between crispy, buttery grilled bread. the bread was really greasy & good. (comes w/a side).

again, i just had a bite, but whoa that was a lot of cheesyness. i don’t know if i could handle a whole dish of so much cheese being lactose intolerant. (comes w/a side).

Garlic Chicken Panini

chicken was thick & a little dry to me. i’d be hesitant about ordering any of the chicken sandwiches after trying this one. overall taste was good though. (comes w/a side).

I love paninis

I’m so happy I finally tried this cafe. I’ve driven by it dozens of times and always wondered what tasty delights existed inside. Now that I’ve been there I can’t wait to go back.

When you first walk in, you’re greeted by a display case full of fantastic looking pastries and cakes. They all look very fresh and made with loving care. Too bad I was here to eat lunch.

As soon as I saw paninis on the menu, I knew what I was going to have. You just can’t go wrong with paninis. Everything else on the menu looked great too, from the omeletes to the crepes to the salads.

They have quite a few tables both inside and on the patio. You order at the cashier and then they bring your food out. It’s a great way to have great food in a casual atmosphere. The sandwiches aren’t even that much more than the subway a couple doors down, but so much tastier. Check it out!

Warm garlic chicken, oozing cheese and a tasty sauce. Yummy. The only change I’d make is to use the bread I saw on the beef and cheese panini – then I would have given 5 stars :)
