Riviera French Café
Known For
Riviera-inspired café with warm brick walls and proper French pastry
Riviera French Café brings exposed brick and vintage interior texture to a bright, airy room that treats the croissant with the respect it deserves. It earns its Riviera name through atmosphere as much as menu.

Our Take
Riviera French Café wears its identity honestly — a vintage-accented interior with exposed brick and a bright storefront that leans into the French café reference without being costume-y about it. Still building its audience with 136 reviews, which makes it a quieter, more intimate find right now than its aesthetic probably deserves.
