Carlos was so nice! Also probably had the best cheeseburger Ive had on my life- w black angus beef. Cozy settings inside and an area in the back to dine outside.

Hidden gem that I make an absolute priority to visit specially for the spiced chai tea lattes when visiting from all the way from Charleston SC! I try something new off their menu each visit back home and never disappointed. I went with the veggie panini this time which I normally would overlook on a menu and it was absolutely delicious! If you are passing threw or visiting you have to visit!

I went here every day for 5 days during a company trip and some days twice. If it wasn't coffee it was a load of sweets that were worth every pound! The staff was also extremely nice and helpful with suggestions.

Fair to say the least. The two stars is for the ambiance. By the time the girl got done making 2 cappuccino's they were room temperature. This is the second time I I have had the dessert and it's hard to say but it's really not good. Tastes like refrigerated dessert and no matter what it is, it al tastes like buttercream including the cannolis and tiramisu. Such a cute place but just not good. I feel so bad leaving this review reading all the other reviews. I just don't see what they do!

Bought a 45$ carrot cake today, flavors were underwhelming, cake dry, and cream cheese frosting bland. Overpriced for taste. Cake was decorated nicely however I care more about the taste than the looks. Would not repurchase carrot cake.

From their delicious coffees to delicate cakes, pastries and savory items you can't go wrong here. They have both take away and dine in options. The staff are so friendly and the overall atmosphere is warm and friendly. Perfect anytime of the day.

Had lunch with friends and it did not disappoint. Very pretty place. Sweet and welcoming. Bakery is fabulous. Nothing like homemade desserts to get you in a good mood. Food portions were good, normal but the taste was surprisingly good. Will be back over and over. Great service by warm welcoming servers. Super cozy.

Its a nice place, with various kinds of desserts. The sandwiches and panini's were great, had a great lunch time with my co-workers. I have ordered cakes and other desserts from this place, and never had i found my guests not liking it, they loved it! I tried lunch for the first time, the food and service was great. The grilled cheese and veg baguette was very good, chicken salad on croissant tasted yum!

Went with a friend for lunch on Friday the 5th of November. There were a few items on the menu that reflect the autumn season. We chose the chicken, apple caramelized onions quesadilla. It was delicious, so flavorful and filling along with a small lettuce salad.

My go to choice for breakfast fair in Sparta. Nice atmosphere, fresh baked goods, and a nice venue. I often meet a business colleague there. We enjoy a leisurely breakfast with plenty of coffee or tea.

Our wedding cake from Cafe Pierrot was PERFECT! We were so impressed by their talent and execution of exactly what we were looking for. It even tasted better than it looked! We had delivery to a local venue and everything was so seamless. Communication was great! Highly recommended

I got the butternut squash soup which was absolutely delicious! My friend Chell got the grilled cheese which came with salad, pasta salad, and potato salad on the side. The potato salad was unfortunately very bland but the rest of the meal was good!

I ordered catering and a custom gender reveal cake for my gender reveal party. Everything came out amazing! I literally could not have asked for a more delicious and beautiful cake! All of my guests told me how good the cake was and how good the mini sandwiches were! I was so happy and the prices were reasonable! I will definitely be ordering my baby shower cake from here! Thank you cafe Pierrot!

Food is delish, prices are fair. BUT, staff at bakery messes up orders, has no sense of urgency to fix it and no one is wearing a mask and no plastic dividers.

This is the third cake that I've ordered for an event, and I can't even put into words how amazing this cake was. Their staff is so friendly and always go above and beyond. I ordered this cake for my sisters baby shower, and every guest came up to me to tell me how delicious the cake was and how they wish they could have taken a ton home! If you want a cake for something, you have to order it from Cafe Pierrot! You will not be disappointed!

Our wedding cake was perfect! It looked beautiful and the tasted awesome! The shop was easy to work with and the at-home taste test was so fun! I'd easily purchase a cake from this vendor again!

Love this place, nicely prepared food. Interesting menu and wonderful bread and pastry. Their Steak Diane is my favorite. Low key, love the outdoor space. They are also a great choice for breakfast.

My boyfriend and I had a breakfast date here some weekends ago, and completely enjoyed our food and experience. Such a cute cafe & restaurant you must visit. Not to mention - the cutest entryway wall!

Unexpected French bakery in Sparta. The coffee and pastries are very good and offers a rare variety in the Sparta area. The crumb cake was a little dry.

If you're searching for a cute cafe to have a breakfast feast during these covid times, Cafe Pierrot is a must-visit if you're in the area! The parking lot was relatively small, but if you visit during a less busy time like in the morning, it'll be easy to find a spot. Around 9:45 am, there is no wait time, and immediately after entering the cafe, the waitress will greet and seat you.

She even made sure to space out the guests for social distancing to ensure a safe dining experience! This quaint cafe has a relaxing ambiance and cozy setting with aesthetic decor like pretty lighting fixtures and windows overlooking the town. Despite dining for two hours, the server was extremely friendly and patient when answering questions. The first photo depicts raspberry french toast with a side of sausages + breakfast potatoes and an omelet with sausage, tomatoes, and onions with breakfast potatoes + multigrain toast.

The second picture shows a stunning cup of hot chocolate with steamed milk, and the photogenic design on top was a nice touch! Everything was priced appropriately, especially for breakfast, and the meal was affordable! The unique combination of sweetened cream cheese with raspberry preserves in the french toast was tangy but sweet and delightfully smooth.

The toast and sausages were amazing, and the potatoes were also tasty but not the best potatoes in the world. The omelet was deliciously well cooked, and nothing was too salty or raw. Cafe Pierrot is a wonderful place to catch up with a friend and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Here's the deal: A staple of care excellence in the Sparta area. Cafe offers cozy seating both inside & out! It's a can't miss place for breakfast/ lunch /dinner. I love their online menu which consistently provides menu specials for dinning in order take out. If you have a sweet tooth, don't forget awesome homemade desserts

We've dined and purchased food and bakery items from the Sparta location many times over the years. Our favorite was the fare on the Oktoberfest menu. Fast forward to 2020. What happened! We ordered pork shank and sauerbraten and it tasted like it was cooked, frozen and cooked again. Granted, it was takeout but the quality and the fact that it was over cooked and salty really disappointed. On the positive, the lentil and butternut squash soup were delicious.

Such a cute little place near Lake Mohawk! Warm and inviting and the service was excellent! Do yourself a favor and pick up a couple of croissants while you're there!

Glad to see Cafe Pierrot is open during these troublesome times. It was great to stop in for a take out corned beef dinner and some treats from the bakery. Excellent meal, enough for two - corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots. And for desert. not sure either the scene or black and white cookie! Thank you to the friendly staff of Cafe Piertot.
