Café Etoile

"With only having seen the pic for fried chicken, was expecting like southern Cajun place but I was hugely mistaken. Korean fusion that hit the fried chicken and croffle mark with a bang! There was a huge table for a family meal and let me tell you - we finished EVERYTHING. Fried chicken and croffle was a banger!! The chicken was juicy, crispy, with the crunchy waffle made with crossaint and a side of spicy (Just enough) syrup. That'll be living in my head rent-free but drooling for a very long time. The kids also loveddddd it so much! The bulgogi sando was also super delicious. Drinks - gingerbread Chai Latte warmed our souls. Such friendly staff with a laid-back ambiance and we're all here for it!"

"Amazing prices + very good service. The manager/owner(?) Asian lady was very kind to us, even came over to take our plates when we were supposed to put them in the box ourselves. Breakfast sandwich is an absolute must-try, it’s a very good deal. Decent amount of seating as well."

"Go ahead and click No Tip! This is a kind of restaurant that you don't tip. It was my first time, and I just did not know better. After placing our order and paying tip, I found this sign says you bus your own table. Wait a minute. I place an order at the counter, I pick up the order at the counter, and I bus my own table? And you still want me to tip? Yes, it lets you choose. But why? Do you see tip options at gas pumps, grocery stores, Costco stores, or IKEA? Maybe it is OK if your terminal displays "we provide absolutely no service (you pick up your food and bus your own table), but we welcome your tip." Other than that, food was ok. Price was a bit high. Binsoo was less than satisfactory."

"We just left this place on our way home to Portland and we were amazed at the food and atmosphere. My husband got the chicken and croffle (he was skeptical) and he gave it a “9.2/10!” I loved my avocado toast with scrambled eggs/bacon. The toast had the perfect amount of toppings! I had the americano with oat milk and hubby got a mocha, overall a fantastic spot! Great service, very fast for how busy they were on a Monday morning!!"

"Great food! Fast service. You order first and seat yourself. Great place to stop in for a bit or relax after grocery shopping. All items we ordered were tasty. I was not a fan of the croffle. It was a little dry and hard to cut even with a steak knife. I would have much preferred a fluffy waffle. Would definitely stop in again to try something else on the menu. Had my eye on the croque Madame for next time."
