Merci French Cafe & Patisserie: A Taste of France in Scottsdale

I was looking for a different restaurant and had the name wrong, but stumbled on this restaurant online and saw great reviews so decided to visit! It is a gem that is lost in a strip mall! Fabulous food, sweet service personnel, wonderful and nice chef! Will return here anytime are in Scottsdale! We had beef stroganoff, lobster bisque, and the best quiche I’ve ever had ((and a large piece of quiche!)… it was so light and flavorful … spinach and feta. Superb meal! Followed by a pear and frangipane tart. Perfect ending to a great meal!

So, if you haven't been to Merci Cafe you are missing out on quite the experience! Merci Cafe graciously let us reserve two high-top tables for Saturday, August 2, 2025, for 10:00 am brunch due to a loved one in our party who has mobility issues. When we arrived everything was ready for us. We had a reservation for 8 people, we ended up with 9. The ambiance is wonderful, the food is amazing and fresh! Merci Cafe is truly a sublime family affair which consists of Duc, his wife Noelle and their children. Everyone in our party unanimously agreed that we must come back for dinner!

What an awesome local place. Chef and his wife do an amazing job. Early dinner, great brunches. Highly recommend it. And byob with a small corkage fee.

The owner met me at the counter. She was warm and kind. The pastries are sent in from France. That's just so cool! I got the almond croissant. It tasted buttery, flaky, and delicious. I got their in-house cappuccino. Yummmmy!! And their quiche "truffle & mushroom." It was incredible. I'm really happy that I stopped in to try this little hidden gem.

This place was a true delight! Seriously, everything was great! Oddly recommended for the great breakfast, we had dinner and it was delicious! The staff and servers were amazing and the environment was inviting! A must try!!!

This restaurant has excellent food. My wife and I ate here twice in two days. The Crab Eggs Benedict had wild crab and it was delicious. We shared an omelette and salmon croissant that was amazing also. The Belgian hot chocolate was the best I’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Love this place! Everything about from the story about how the married couple owners met in previous careers to the atmosphere to the food. The food is particularly great. Eggs Benedict, the quiche and the crepes. Everything! The owner Noel is an absolute sweetheart. If this place was near our home in Chicago, we would visit at least once per week. Highly recommend you try this restaurant. You won't be sorry!

What a delicious way to start our day, with a taste of France on this side of the ocean. The almond croissant and the espresso tasted like some we’ve had in France. The owner stopped by our table to speak with us after learning of our interest in all things French. Even the restroom was decorated like those in France. Fabulous place!
