LA PETITE COLLINE & SHAN SHAN CAFE

Food was amazing and came in a very timely manner. The servicer William was very kind and courteous when approaching me and handling the orders. A very clean and beautiful interior. I'm definitely coming back soon!

A little bit on the pricey side for cafes but glad they allow people to come over and do some work and provide nice premium coffees and very good toast. Atmosphere is amazing. Nice comfy seats, they have bags for your bags to be on the floor. I would def come again but this is an easy $30-$50 spend compared to other cafes but you'll get your money worth. Def coming back here.

We finally tried their signature Omurice and Katsu curry! We loved the Omurice so much. It would be great if they could add mentai (seasoned cod roe) cream Omurice to their menu someday. Thanks for the good service. (April 2024) We really liked this place so decided to come back again. It was Saturday, and the place was busy, and we had to wait about 15 minutes for our table. I tried the Oolong tea Latte for the first time. It was similar to hojicha latte and I loved it! We also had the fried chicken toast, which was also very tasty. The bread here is really good, very similar to Japanese bakery. I also liked the buttermilk rusks that came with the coffee, so I bought some to take home. I'll definitely be back soon! Good food and drink, the server was attentive, and it’s a beautiful place.(March 2024) 前回とてもよかったのでまたすぐに戻ってきました。土曜日だったので席につくまで15分かかりました。烏龍茶ラテを初めて試してみましたが、ほうじ茶ラテに似ていてとても美味しかったです。フライドチキントーストも美味しかったです。ここはパンも分厚くてふわふわで美味しいです。コーヒーと一緒についてくるラスクも気に入ったので買って帰りました。食べ物も飲み物も美味しく、サービスもよくて店内も綺麗で気に入ってます。(2024年3月) The atmosphere inside the café was comfortable and cozy. The café latte and the Taiwanese-style hamburger sandwich were both good. It was quite crowded due to its popularity, unfortunately, we couldn't get a glimpse of the bread display. (February 2024) 店内は落ち着ける雰囲気でした。 カフェラテ、台湾風ハンバーグサンド美味しかったです。 人気があって人が多すぎて、残念ながら入り口付近にあるパンの売り場を見ることができませんでした。 (2024年2月)

This review is based on two visits to be fair. One star is for one of the waitresses. She is very nice and helpful. The other star is for the presentation of the food, the ambiance, and the bread. However, the food was not very tasty and the price was very expensive. I will start with the drinks. - matcha latte: worst in my life. They say they use ceremonial grade but the tasty of match is minimal. Yes, I believe they use the ceremonial grade but they probably use such a tiny bit of it (since that level of match is usually not cheap) as there is barely any taste. I won't compare them with a Japanese match place but even Starbucks' are better. - lychee Americano: the coffee is very sour. Not what we like. - grape oolong tea: worst in my life. They say they use premium oolong tea but all I taste is grape juice. Any bubble tea place would be better. Hey! You are Taiwanese and how can you not know how to make tea! Super disappointed. - chocolate milk: just regular chocolate melted in milk that you can make at home. Again, the chocolate taste is minimal. If you want a really good one, go to places like Lindt. Here are the food reviews. - omurice: I find it weird to use butter in the eggs and that buttery taste ruins the whole thing. However, I guess it depends on people as my husband thinks it's okay. The steak on top was cooked right but no taste, again. - Taiwanese chicken teppanyaki noodles: the sauce was good but the chicken was not marinated. You can even taste the chicken smell that I hate. We finished the noodles but we left the chicken as the bloody smell really bothers me. - Yuzu chicken: probably the best dish out of everything. Didn't go wrong but again, the taste is just meh. Other points that we don't like: - We didn't see our waitress so we called a waiter and had an alteration to one of our orders and they messed it up. The lady came with the order and explained that the guy probably misunderstood us. Okay, normally, you would apologize and redo my order. No, she didn't offer that, but did try to help so we were like whatever. But I didn't feel good. The second time we were there, we were served by the male waiter again and realized that he can't speak English well, can't speak mandarin well which helped me understand why he messed up our order during our first visit. AND he looks unhappy all the time. No apologies when they are out of what we wanted. I think this is not the right place to work for him. - we were there on a Sat and they had to chase us out after 1.5 hrs of seating time. Restaurant? Totally understandable. But hey, your name is shan shan CAFE, it should be a place for people to have a drink or food or snacks and chat. Imagine if Starbucks had such limited seating time. It's their policy, I understand, but I don't think it's reasonable for a cafe place. - they open at 11 am and we went at around 2:30 pm and half of their bread was out of stock! This is the only bakery that I have ever been to would run out of bread after 3 hours of opening??? They close at 8 pm. It's not even half of a day. I understand that you don't want to have too much left over at the end of the day, so if they are out at 6 pm, I understand. But 3 pm??

Great place to have brunch. Food was average and the price is on the higher end. Bakery was really good if you don’t like things that are too sweet. The service and atmosphere were excellent.

The taste was good. But make sure to reserve a table before visiting here. This place is mostly full

Food was ok. Service was not really attentive. Went there at around 4-5pm and zero busy, tipping $8 for $52 bill but man manager/ waiter was likely unhappy (as we did not tip as the suggested amount like over 15%?) then they just showed attitude and tried to clean up table when we just sat down another 5 minutes after the meal .

Don’t know what all the fuss is all about this place. Just another bakery store with make up.

Came here with my partner yesterday and ordered a shan shan omurice and a creamy mushroom toast. The omurice was delicious with an intensely mushroomy demiglace, the steak was nice and tender. The crispy onions were a nice playful contrast from the soft egg The creamy mushroom toast was delightfully indulgent. The creamy mushroom sauce was rich, and smooth. Servers were diligent and kept an eye on all customers drinks to refill. They were friendly. Enjoyed the decor, ambience and music choice.
