One star for the decor and one star for how kind and apologetic our server was. Visited for brunch on 12/11 at 11am. Long wait after we were seated for service to begin. Server seemed overwhelmed. Given a bizarre explanation about why they do not offer "bottomless" mimosas even though it is on the menu. No big deal, we just asked for mimosas anyway along with our food order. Another long wait for the food to arrive. Dishes were both burnt AND cold, which is actually pretty impressive. The food was terrible and poorly prepared. Overall, will not return and do not recommend.

Nice Sunday brunch. Good coffee. Calming atmosphere.Wait staff very friendly and helpful.First time at this location. Had a partial view of the water which was nice. I just didn't like that when I asked if I could have a little more chocolate drizzle on my crave the waitress came out and said she was only allowed to give me a little bit more when there was a fraction of them out there normally is at other Le craves. I understand Prices are going up the quality should not go down. That's the only reason they did not get a five star.

First time eating here. Rockledge location. The food is good but they took an hour to bring our meals and forgot my meal on top of that. Waited another 20 mins for a crepe and instead of being warm it was cold so that means it sat there. The waitress only came to us 3 times in the hour and half. Forgot our refills. Took ten min to get our second refills and when we asked for our checks we just cancel the refills. We actually had to flag her to get service. We will no return. I do not recommend this place if you have a short fuse for terrible service.

Took my mother and Aunt here for breakfast- small quiet nice ambiance. Waitress seated us in a private area immediately. Judy was very prompt and friendly and the manager came to greet us. Food was delicious- had the Space Coast waffles - very yummy. Crepes were also very thin and delicious. Cappuccino was great but the first one was a little cold - she gave us another for free. Highly recommend!

My wife ,daughter and parents love this place its beautiful inside and very trendy. We have been twice . The first time I got a strawberry crepe and a bacon egg croissant . The crepe was good . The bacon egg and cheese was a typical frozen croissant grilled with a little butter the bacon they use is the precooked stuff that you get at the grocery store . Today I got the waffles . If you enjoy mini hard as rock hockey puck style waffles then you would LOVE these ! You would think after waiting an hour for our food it would be a little better.I would of gave one star but theres a waitress here
