Granier European Bakery & Café

I was there yesterday and it is definitely one of the best bakeries-cafes I’ve been so far. I had a Croque Madame and the bread was amazing. After eating it, I was told that the bread is baked everyday and that they also have it for sale, so I definitely went back and bought some bread. I had an Apple-pineapple juice and it tasted amazing. It is a must go place here in town and I’ll definitely be back.

We both got the Avocado Croissant Sandwich. It was very good. The greens that come on the side are also delicious. I'm not sure what kind of dressing they use on it, but it's light and tasty. My only problem was the service. I asked if I could add bacon to my sandwich and was told that it already comes with bacon. That wasn't what it says on the menu, but I believed the cashier. When the sandwiches came, there was no bacon. I'm pretty sure it was never supposed to come with it.
Also, my café latte came a full 15-20 minutes after my food. That was frustrating as I had nothing to drink with my sandwich. They seem a bit haphazard with how they are prepping the orders up front. That being said, I will still give them another shot.

My food and drink was Amazing. Just found this place today and I’m mad I didn’t know about it sooner. Truly the BEST European Bakery in the Hampton Roads Area!

This place is a gift to Virginia Beach. Lovely atmosphere, wonderful pastries, great European style coffee, and all very well priced. The staff are very friendly, it’s clearly a family that loves their store and loves what they do. Spread the word: Granier is the greatest!

Went for breakfast. It was not busy. I suggest only ordering food that’s pre-made, and then praying you get it within 30-minutes. I ordered the beef empanadas which they brought out in a timely manner. However, they completely forgot about the rest of our order. My wife had eggs, toast, and greens, and we both ordered coffee. When they brought out the coffee, I had to remind them of my wife’s order. At least the first waitress was apologetic. When they finally brought out my wife’s meal, the second waitress acted like nothing happened. It’s always a bad dining experience when you see a number of people that order after you receive their meals before you. Perhaps this happened because it’s run by children. Would not recommend.

The fluffiest egg white omelette with fresh avocado, spring mix, and bread. Delicious! Excellent service and lovely atmosphere!

I really like the pastries here, but was very disappointed on my last visit. They were out of oranges so they had no orange juice. I ordered a croissant and wanted jam to go with it, they were out of jam. I overheard someone else unhappy with their coffee and were not offered a solution.

The pastries are just delicious. The reason what I’m giving it 2 stars, it’s because of what they charged me. Normally they have the price listed next to every item, but I noticed I was charged more. When I mentioned it to the cashier she went and flipped the sign ( where no price is showing) and simply say no that’s the price we charge.

Sloppy customer service. Freshness of the pastries is a hit or miss. The few times I have been there I haven’t felt the presence of management. It’s a shame because it has potential.

Enjoyed a very good lunch with our Son and his wife at The Granier European Bakery & Cafe at Hilltop. Everything was delicious and made with quality fresh ingredients. We all tried different menu items. I had the French Toast which was great and surprisingly light with a strawberry jam on the side absolutely delicious. My husband had the prosciutto sandwich with cheese on delicious fresh bread. Service was very good and their coffee was wonderful. We could talk and didn’t have to shout in order to hear the conversation. We enjoyed our first visit and will definitely be back there. Of course we had to take home some pastries for later! We highly recommend The Granier European Bakery & Cafe! Hope you try it too!
