The experience

The Antoinette Experience

Crêpes on the griddle, espresso at the counter, gelato in the case. Step off Garnet Avenue into a warm French café built around food made to order, from the first espresso of the morning to the last dessert crêpe of the night.

A day at Antoinette

From First Espresso to Last Crêpe
