Chocolatine French Café

Chocolatine is a really neat French cafe, with a really nice ambiance and friendly staff. Unfortunately they do have a policy of closing their kitchen 30 minutes prior to closing so I was not able to order any food, but everything looked delicious! The mojito soda was great, I'm surprised it isn't a traditional flavor here. There are a handful of tables inside and 2 outside however it does get very sunny in the front in the middle of the day. Parking: Limited spots in front of the building however there is also a parking lot behind!

The owner received my husband and me with welcoming energy while helping other guests. The small coffee shop is charming and has a French radio station playing background music. We had two cappuccinos, grilled cheese, and a chocolate croissant for breakfast. The drinks were excellent, with good foam texture and balance between coffee and milk. The grilled cheese had the perfect melting cheese. The croissant had the typical super light layers that French pastry usually has. It is a cozy and family-owned place worth a visit for some delicious French patisserie. Merci, Chocolatine. Au revoir.

My son was in the mood for a crepe, so we tried Chocolatine based off of their Yelp reviews. We were greeted in French by our lovely server I believe the owner who helped recite the menu for us, since our AT&T cellphone service did not work inside to view the menu. I ordered the Today's Special bacon quiche du jour and my son ordered a Nutella and strawberry Crepe. The quiche was delicious, fluffy eggs, and a flakey crust. Yum! It came with a nice side salad with a mustard vinaigrette. We ordered some macaroons and a crème brûlée tart to bring home. Everything tasted fresh and delicious...We especially loved the tart! I loved that we were greeted in French, it made me feel like we escaped to France for lunch Photo of Chocolatine French Café - Thousand Oaks, CA, United States.

A very authentic French bakery. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. Quite a contrast to the busy street it is on. We had a quiche and a croque and they were both amazing. I grabbed two chocolate croissants on the way out and they were the best I'd had in a while. The price matches the quality. I didn't feel like I over paid for what I got. I'll have to come back to try all the other bakery items.

What a hidden gem! Wonderful people and service and exceptional food. I didn't like their chocolate truffles very much but everything else, the soup, the sandwiches, the coffee was outstanding. It does get busy and doesn't have a lot of seating so plan accordingly.Food: 5/5

My husband and I were there recently and this little cafe became our favorite . It’s very cozy and very nice inside. We tried their chocolate mousse and lemon tart and they were delightful. The coffee was really tasty too. We are looking forward to going back there soon

Just learned while in France that this iconic spot is going to close end of August 2023 due to 30% rent rise by greedy landlord. Will they relocate or return to France is the question. I never buy ANY croissant nor chocolatine while in France as I wait upon the first day of my returns to SPLURGE on both while driving to work for a DIVINE, HEAVENLY commute !!!! ‍‍

What a pleasant lunch experience. The owner was wonderful. The food was delicious, dessert Amazing! The atmosphere was relaxed and so welcoming. I will be going back for sure!!!

The food is pretty great here and the service too. They have a wonderful menu selection and the service staff are the best.Food: 5/5
