Le Bistreaux Coffee And Waffle Bar

Found on Google Maps while looking for places to go in the area, and I can never turn down a mom and pop style coffee house, and with waffles!? Absolutely must stop.
I got a butterscotch latte and it was good, not too rich. I also have the same thing to say about the waffle sampler. The flavors were balanced with the waffles. Very good. I don’t like things excessively sweet personally, which is why balanced and not too rich are solid points for me.
Bacon was thick-cut and served crispy, and the eggs had runny yolk which we wanted with over-medium.
I didn’t have the hashbrown, so can’t speak on it… but the grits were DELICIOUS. I’m just returning to the continental states and good grits were not to be found.

If you’re in the area, I would say this little place is a can’t miss.

Was looking for breakfast so we found the restaurant on Google and glad we took our chance, food was delicious!!! The atmosphere is calm and home feeling plus the staff was super friendly and helpful. This made our decision so much better and thank you for the experience.

I love this place! This is my second time eating here & both times have been amazing! I appreciate that they open at 7 am so that I can go right after work. Now let’s get to the food. The shrimp & grits are DELICIOUS very cheesy & the seasoned potatoes are to die for. Everything was fresh & hot! Plus the owner actually comes around to check on you. He was even nice enough to let me try waffles while waiting fluffy and great! I’ll definitely be back again.

Boyfriend brought me here as a surprise date today. Absolutely amazing food. I had the Viva las Vegas and added side of eggs and a caramel macchiato. I was thoroughly impressed(especially for under $20). Will definitely be going back soon!

Stopped in twice this week while traveling through Alexandria. Both times the staff was absolutely wonderful. The shrimp and grits are amazing, as is the waffle monte cristo and sweet potato fries! Also grabbed a blueberry scone for a late night snack and it was delicious. Highly recommended!

Coffee was great as well as the vanilla bean waffle sampler! Had to wait a little for a table but it was worth it. This place is packed on a Saturday morning!

While some reviews complain about pricing I'd say for the quality of food and amount its well worth it.

We ordered a variety of items and everything was really good, the sausage and meat pies do have a bit of a kick to them so warning to those that don't care for heat.

My favorite part was easily my caramel macchiato!

The Cafe was very homely. The atmosphere was very welcoming! The staff was very kind and accommodating. The food came out pretty fast and they have very good smoothies. My personal favorite is the caramel macchiato . They are also kid friendly. The Cafe was very clean and everyone was super friendly.

A great change in our usual dining experiences. Would return and try more menu items.

Location: easy to get to. Located in a shopping center. Parking is easy and plentiful.

Atmosphere: very comfortable layout with cozy booths and sitting areas. It's the type of place where you order at the counter and sit down and they bring the food to you. They did have menus available to take to a table and look over if you don't want to stand there trying to figure out what you want and I greatly appreciate that. After eating, we threw away our own plates at the trash can near the ordering counter

Food: coffee (raspberry, butter beer, regular, mocha, caramel, etc), hot chocolate, teas, soft drinks, waffles, omeltes, Benedict, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, bacon, potatoes, ham, scramblers and build your owns. They also have options for kids.

Service: friendly. Easy to order. They had someone going around making sure tables were satisfied and cleaning up.

Price: Waffles run about $10 and other items are closer to $15. It felt a little expensive for the items. Coffees are $2-$6.75 depending on type and size. I ordered the crab cake Benedict (waffle, crab cake, over easy egg, and hollandaise sauce) and I liked it, just wished there had been more sauce. Also got the butter beer coffee and enjoyed it. For my fiance and I to eat here, it cost us about $55 for 2 medium coffees (raspberry and butter beer), and 2 entrees (chicken and waffles & crabcake benedict).

Overall we would return and bring friends who love coffee and brunch items. It's a nice, cozy eatery that's good for family, couples, and friends.

Basic waffle with very little flavor. Bacon had an odd taste. I would not return to try anything else. I was just passing through for a church event and will not return on future visits to the area.
