Belle Vie Cafe - Guilford, Connecticut

9.14.24 my 1st time here and to be honest I was only going to use their bathroom, which by the way was so cool that I took a photo of it. But then I realized this place is just amazing inside and when you walk in, the smells make you think you're in some European Cafe. The food, the vibe, the energy is all very good. I ordered the raspberry, chocolate scone and it was the best I've ever had. The raspberries were fresh, the scone was flaky but not too flaky if you know what I mean, and it wasn't too sweet. I enjoyed it so much that I'd drive there again just to get more (and I live an hour away). If you're in this area, I strongly recommend you try this place. They also have indoor/outdoor dining and there's lots of extra parking next door by the community center.

Visiting the area for a week, wish I’d come to this cafe on our first day, not 4th! Had a savory crepe that perfect. Americano was the best I’ve had in town. Came back again today, chocolate croissant was excellent! Still warm, shatteringly flaky on the outside, chocolate was still soft and warm. Blueberry scone was moist and loaded with blueberries. Egg and cheese on the jalapeño cheddar biscuit was great too!

Yes, the line can be long, you might need to weight a it for your coffee drink, it it is worth it.

I love going to this little spot! It's such a unique structure inside and out with plenty of room to sit and chat with an old friend. I highly recommend their banana bread! It's not dry at all and it's not too moist. I've had plenty of banana bread that's almost so moist that it's soggy and mushy, but this bread is absolutely perfect! Grab a cup of joe and enjoy your visit! ☕

Belle Vie Cafe is one of our favorite spots! The owner Alexandra and her staff are wonderful and kind people. The blueberry scone, plum almond twist and mushroom goat cheese galette are some of our favorite baked treats! The food and drinks we've had are are delicious. We have also ordered catering before and it was a big hit.

Belle Vie Cafe is truly a diamond in a sea of pearls. The moment you taste any of their products you can really sense a difference in the quality of their ingredients - tasty food that is actually good for you. The owner, Alexandra is fabulous and manages a great team that creates such a welcoming atmosphere in a unique place. The pastries, the omelettes, the sandwiches or the coffee's - you really can't go wrong with any choice. Hopefully they open another location in CT soon!

Absolutely delicious coffee, crepes, and breakfast sandwiches - 5 stars truly isn’t enough! Staff were very welcoming and helpful making for an all around fantastic experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this stop to anyone craving the perfect breakfast/brunch stop.

This is a mixture of new and old menu (from the prior business at this location - Java Hut, Perk on Church). They still have delicious crepes with many new items that are savory and sweet. They also carry a wide array of baked goods, including special options like Keto. The food is always fresh and delicious! The owner or her family are always onsite to ensure you have an excellent experience.

It’s really nice to sit outside in nice weather and they open the big garage door so the fresh air comes inside as well.

In the winter, there are a few tables downstairs and more upstairs. The bathroom is only available downstairs now (previously there was one upstairs). There is a high chair upstairs and downstairs.

As soon as I wished for a cute cafe (preferably European style☺️) here we find the Belle Vie Café in Guilford.
What a cute place! Great menu choices.

We had three kinds of crepes, savory and sweet- yummy, blueberry scone amazing and above all great coffee!
Friendly staff, lovely outdoor space.

The only thing that spoiled my dining experience a bit - my scone was brought on a paper plate. ?
