“ Gorgeous Frenchthemed cafe serving delicious pastries and drinks. The sesame espresso latte and pistachio croffle were well balanced, not too sweet, and complemented each other perfectly. Something to note is that the drinks are a bit small in quantity, but itd work well for a mini snack. Lovely ambiance and kind, prompt service. There is a restroom available, but its in the building next door. ”
“ Went here with a friend to sketch and draw for a bit and its just the cutest little cafe with perfect little croissant waffles, reasonably priced under 10 incl. tax and tip! with sweet and savory flavor options, including a weekend only one. Their drinks look super yummy too and love the black sesame and dalgona options, with and without espresso The display case desserts roll cakes and cream puffs also look amazing and the staff are super friendly only thing is all of their seating is fixed to the floor so you cant adjust your positioning with any table, but not too bad! ”
“ Very charming cafe in the University district. Croffle was scrumptious and would love to try the souffle. Plan around 30 minutes if youre ordering the souffle. We were on a time crunch so it wasnt an option today. Also ordered a latte and a delgano latte. Staff is friendly and helpful. Would love to come back! ”
“ Cafe Canuc was so cute and the coffees were so delicious I wished the sizes were larger so I could takeout and sip on them a bit longer! We tried a few of the flavors and they were all delicious. Highly recommend the popular dalgona espresso, its not too sweet and the sugar from the dalgona tastes a bit burnt giving the coffee a nice sweet after note. The croffles were also very good, it looks like some flavors might be seasonal as well! I think its really the cream on these ones that really make them stand out compared to other places. The pistachio croffle was a hit among my friends. Seating here is pretty limited and the tables on the outside are pretty small, but that wouldnt stop me from ordering both food and drink ”
“ Loved everything about this cafe!! Had the most delicious drink and croffles! I wish the indoor seating was more comfortable, but still had a great experience! So excited to go back. ”
“ This cafe is so unassuming on the outside that when you open the door and enter you truly feel transported! The pastries and drinks are creative, tasty, and visually appealing. I got the trio croffle and Nice drink all amazing! Love the vintage Parisian aesthetic and will definitely be going back to try more items! ”
“ Loved this place!! Been wanting to go for awhile. The inside was a little shabby looking the floors mainly but I think thats part of the aesthetic. The dalgona latte I got was great, and the tiramisu croffle was even better. Their menu was online and cell service in there was nonexistent for me, but they have free wifi so it was fine. Would definitely go back!! ”
“ The croffle croissant waffle was as delicious as you would expect. A lovely experience! ”
