Brunch at Little Frenchie feels less like a meal and more like a tiny Parisian vacation you didn’t know you needed. We started with the short rib skillet, and it immediately set the bar impossibly high: fall-apart tender beef smothered in melted raclette, roasted peppers, crispy potatoes underneath, and a flawlessly poached egg crowning the whole thing. Rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced — every bite felt like it was made by someone who actually cares. Then came dessert, and honestly… the stuffed hot chocolate croissant should come with a warning label. Flaky, buttery layers hiding warm Valrhona-style chocolate, paired with fresh strawberries and vanilla whipped cream — it wasn’t dessert, it was therapy. The dining room has that effortless European bistro vibe that makes you slow down and enjoy being exactly where you are. Service was warm, genuine, and unpretentious. Little Frenchie isn’t just great brunch — it’s the kind of place that reminds you how good life can taste when you let yourself enjoy it. Highly recommend.

Just had to check this restaurant out when we visited here in San Diego simply because the wife and I (and now the kids) simply love hot chocolate. Smooth, velvety and decadent hot chocolate inside a croissant. I can't remember where I saw this place from on social media but it is simply worth it if you visit the area, especially if you enjoy a cuppa of chocolate and french pastries.

All around fantastic experience. The service was fantastic and the food was decadent and amazing. We got the hot chocolate in a Croissant. It was super chocolatey but not too sweet. All the food was delicous. We will return when we come back to the island.

Well worth the hype!! If you haven't gone yet, what are you waiting for....it's hot chocolate weather!! Highly recommend Little Frenchie, great service. (thank you Kimber) She really anticipated our needs, coursed out our food. All the food was amazing, nice portions and nothing was overly sweet. If you can believe that, after looking at these pictures of the hot chocolate croissant and bruleed French toast. The Bruleed French Toast, aka toasted bread pudding was amazing! The Grand Marnier really helped balance the sweetness of the maple syrup. The Caviar Eclair was nice and petite perfect amount of indulgence. The sprinkle of lemon zest on the top really made the caviar sing. The Croquet Monsieur was very decent and traditional, definitely recommend up grading to the fries! Will definitely be back!

We came here for the hot chocolate and a butter croissant. Overall, highly recommend! This was some of the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had, with the chantilly cream, it was great. The croissant was pretty good too, nothing special but a butter croissant. Good luck finding parking, and highly recommend making a reservation! There’s plenty of room outside and inside, we had heaters outside and it was pretty cozy.

RECOMMENDATION - We will be back. Loved it and will bring back friends. - Would recommend coming for lunch. - 1:30pm on a Friday 4 adults and a baby. We sat outside. VALUE - $199 + 20% tip - 5/5 - worth it. We ordered- - French dip x2 - 5/5 - prob the best French dip I’ve had in 20 yrs. The two others who also had it also rated it 5/5. - le Burger - 4.7/5 - with the egg over easy. “Amazing” when he took his first bit he said, “This may be the best burger I’ve ever had.” - Short rib hash - 3/5 “too many mushrooms, not a lot of flavor. Short rib was very good though.” - Cronut - 3/5. I’m a HUGE cronut fan. I’d say this was my least fav. It was a decent choice, the raspberry filling was very tasty. I just like my cronut to be more airy and flaky. - Spiral croissant - 5/5. This is the one they pour hot chocolate hot. We just pulled it apart and dipped it ourselves. Delish. - Chocolate dipped peppermint Spiral croissant. We haven’t eaten yet. But it was the spiral croissant from above, but dipped. - Hot chocolate - 5/5. Very thick, like melted chocolate with cream. - Whip cream. 4/5. I like mine a bit sweeter. But it was very good. PORTION SIZE- 5/5 As expected. Large. Three of us wanted to split a French dip, so we ordered 2. We didn’t need to do that. They’re big. SERVICE- 5/5 Veronica was a delight. She did a great job. Bus staff was also helpful and prompt. ATMOSPHERE - 4/5 As expected. Smallish inside area. 8 tables outside.

Been here a few times already and everytime has been consistent in quality and service. The service is extremely nice and gives frequent checks and the food has been really good every single time. I recently got the hot chocolate and its extremely indulgent, definitely meant to be shared. I personally do not like it in the croissant (a little gimmicky for me) to drink from but that does not take away from the quality of both products. Its on the pricey side but worth the money. The baked goods are always exceptional so definitely get at least one to try.

This is one of my parentsfavorit in Coronado. The plates are big and the fix menú was great! I order Burgundy Escargots (ok) the jardine salad was below my expectations that my wife orderd, the stake frite with an upgrade to filet mignon (which i prefera bit more raw), and my favorit the profiteroles! Sorry, i did not take picturesof my food!

Barb Arian

Simply the best We had the best experience that we've had in a long time. Started with cheese board /charcuterie and a delicious white wine recommended, then the French onion soup, escargot, butter lettuce with prawns, gnocchi, beef Bourgogne, then the best souffle I ever tasted.

Food: fairly priced and delicious. We ordered the escargot, French onion soup, and the half French dip sandwich. The escargo was served in the shell and piping hot. Maybe it was a time of day, but we got served with the hot food within a very short amount of time. Our server, Veronica,, was wonderful. Would definitely come back!

My Chef grandmother’s new favorite restaurant! We stayed in coronado for 3 days, and visited 3 times - twice for breakfast, and once for dinner. Great food, great ambience, great service with lovely employees. Our favorites for breakfast were the French toast & herb omelette, as well as the jardin salad and duck salad for dinner. Their desserts were also delicious - we had the crème brûlée that came with shortbread cookies (so yum that we bought some to take home with us), as well as the profiterole that rivaled ones we’ve had in Paris! Our final time visiting, our waitress Veronica was especially helpful and kind! Thank you Little Frenchie for completing our Coronado experience!

Little Frenchie is a MUST when in Coronado! Their dishes are far from ordinary and true culinary sensations! If you are a carnivore and lover of cheese, their burger is also a MUST! Ee eat there again and again, and have never been disappointed! Ne sure to add your comments on their passport when the bill comes! Reservations highly recommended, as the restaurant does fill up!

Food was okay, my french frys were cold but cheese smothered it before I could say anything. Out of cronuts and cruffins :( But had the valrhona chocolate with whipped chantilly cream​ service, fun and tasty (worth the cost) parking is like everywhere now, nonexistent!!!

Not bad but not great. Disappointed that neither the steak frites, either the hangar steak version or the ny strip regular menu version were not available but we were offered an off menu premium cut for "$80 or $90" Everything ordered was good but not memorable. I should have ordered the burger or French dip.

Dog friendly AND cute vibes! The short rib hash was 5 stars. Glad we ordered that last minute instead of the French dip.

I tried to head over to Little frenchie today with my husband (who is from France!) after seeing this place on TikTok. We were very excited for the pasties and European hot chocolate. Unfortunately, we didn’t even get the opportunity to try. Despite having many empty tables (inside and outside), they kept telling us they were completely booked and unable to accommodate us. We went to Parakeet down the block (and had a very mid breakfast lol) for like 45-1hr, walked back towards Little Frenchie, and still saw many empty tables (see photo). I’m very disappointed in the way the staff handles the seating at this restaurant and will likely not give it another chance. I give up on TikTok restaurant recommendations. They also have a B Health rating.
