Délice Bistro

I used to work right next to this place, so I was very excited when they first opened. While I gave it several chances, I always walked away feeling underwhelmed. Their prices are too high for what you get.
It’s nice to be tucked away off of the major Mill traffic, so maybe it’d be best to sit & work there & sip on coffee or tea, but I’d say skip the food from Delice.

Way too pricey for what they serve. Got a chocolate croissant and there was barely any chocolate in it and they charge you $ 4 for it. Seriously at least put enough chocolate in there. Coffee is average and please watch you receipts. These girls tend to over charge you on your bill. I caught them 20 to 40 cents higher at least twice. Place has good ambiance but its mostly empty. This is located in a student area but prices are like old town Scottsdale.

First time in today and first impression was wow how absorbable is this place! The bakery looked delicious however I I ordered a panini and tomato basil soup for lunch. It was pretty good the first few bites until I started realizing how much salt was in both of the items and starting feeling a bit uncomfortable. I wouldn’t come back to pay $ 10 – 15 for a lunch that wasn’t delicious. Perhaps I’ll pay another visit for coffee or pastries before cutting this place off.

Just had some great salmon here. Excellent staff, good vibe… I’ll definitely come back.

All the food was great (lots of vegetarian options!) and the server was very friendly. Only draw back is no wine.

I ordered food from this place, had it delivered with post mates. The plus side of this was it was fast! I had my food within 20 min of placing the order but I don’t know how much Delice had to do with it.
But when I got the food I was disappointed
The panini was lacking all flavor and chicken and cheese like advertised. It was all bread. The tomato soup tasted like crushed tomato with water added to it.
I won’t order from this place, or visit to be honest.
Upset that I wasted $ 20 on this meal.

I’ve been here twice and both times had issues.
Let me start by saying their croissants, crepes and coffee is pretty good, if you don’t mind paying pretty high prices.
As for my visits:
The first time I sat on the patio but the doors auto locked, so to use the bathroom or refill my coffee, I had to go to the door and knock and wait for a server to let me in, which happened 3 – 4 times and was just annoying. They do not have an exit from the patio to walk around so we were just trapped there.
My last visit, the door problem was fixed but the staff abruptly took my crêpe plate away before I was finished (like ¹⁄₃ left) and I ordered a chocolate scone which was the absolute worst thing I have put in my mouth on a long time. It had zero chocolate flavor, it tasted like dirt. Literally dirt. I’m not exaggerating.
Other than that, outdoor tables are pretty dirty with bird poop on them.
I normally wouldn’t be this critical about a place but paying $ 20+ for a couple of baked goods, a crêpe and some coffees, I expect something better.

Been here several times. Crêpe is a must try. If you want something more than dessert, try sandwich or pasta. This is a place you can come by yourself and not feeling awkward.
But… their tropical ice tea is not really good hahaha

For some reason, I had high hopes for this place. What a bloody joke. The only «European» characteristic that they got right is the high volume if people smoking on the patio next to the open door-​leading to the kitchen. The lack of manners/​basic customer service etiquette should have tipped me off.
Their prices would not be unreasonable if the quality were there. It seems that not a single restaurant or café in Phoenix can give you something other than a paper cup, which is silly and detracts from the experience and ambiance. They are also depressingly understaffed. I watched this poor barista pump out MAYBE 5 drinks in the half hour that I was here. The pre-​made food was actually best in this case. I had the chocolate mousse cake, which was pretty average for something like that. My fiancé was served cold crepes, that were supposed to have butter on them. The butter somehow lost it’s way from the kitchen to our table. This was honestly the worst crêpe I have ever had. Bland, chunky, and undercooked.
There did not seem to be a single person over the age of 19 working there. This is not working-​You guys need an adult.

This is the Zooey Deschanel of food. It’s cute but dry and ultimately unfulfilling.
I went in with some friends around 9pm. We shared a carrot cake, chocolate cake, 2 macaroons, and a fruit tart (the cakes are tiny and precious). 9 is a little late for a bakery but they’re open until midnight. And a carrot cake doesn’t get that dry after 12 hours. That cake was 3 or 4 days dry. Macaroon was chewy. Chocolate cake was good but it was actually white cake with chocolate ganache.
Anyway, service was a bunch of teenagers who were more interested in each other. They were fine. We didn’t have any problems with them.
If you’re still trying to impress someone, take your date elsewhere.

I loved this place until this past Sunday. A visit to the bathroom was when things went down hill. no toilet paper, no paper towels and the toilet did not work. I had to take off the lid and reach in to fix the flushing system myself luckily they had soap.
Good Job Delice, that was fantastic.

I work right across the street from this cute little restaurant. I’ve wanted so badly to like coming here, as it is so conveniently located, but, unfortunately, time after time I’ve been disappointed by the service and inability to keep items in stock.
At times, I’ve ordered an iced latte only to find a weird oily syrup at the bottom of the drink — like the drink was not mixed together well.
The last 2 times I’ve gone in to get quick coffee or tea, they have been out of the items I wanted. First with the tropical iced tea, and second with almond milk to add to my coffee. The lady preparing my coffee didn’t even know they were out of almond milk before letting me order and pay more to have almond milk instead of cream, which they offer for free. I’m allergic to dairy, so that’s why I’m willing to pay more for the alternative milk.
I’ve been in so often, and witnessed so many failures at running this business, their go-​to to correct their mistakes is to offer a free pastry. So, at least there’s that, but don’t say I didn’t tell you when you run into poor service and inability to maintain stock at this quaint little restaurant.

I absolutely love this place. The food is always fresh and taste amazing. Every time I’m out this way I make an attempt to stop by. It doesn’t matter if it’s for dessert or dinner they have something for everyone. If I lived closer I would definitely come here to work on my dissertation. Despite the fact that it’s in the heart of mill it’s very quiet. I will always come back to this location.

I purchased some sweet treats for an event here and to say that they won the hearts of my guests would be an understatement! We had fruit tarts, decadent chocolate desserts, and macarons. All were heavenly! I have heard that their crepes are phenomenal as well so I will most definitely be back to try them in the future! Their cupcakes were also adorable and would make the perfect Birthday surprise for a friend or coworker. I can’t say enough about this hidden gem in Tempe, right off of Mill Ave. See you soon, Delice!

Awesome employees, girls here are amazing, amazing to talk with, great customer service, and Rose is an amazing person, one reason I like coming back to this coffee shop,(she is so real) thanks for al you do…
5 stars for amazing employees, really do an amazing job…

Food is not that great! They went from 5 to a 3 when you start not to care about quality of food, cleanliness and service. I am not going to support an establishment.

I have been to Délice multiple times and on other occasions the service has been fine, however this occasion it was leaving a lot to be desired.
The past times when we have come in the store is moderately clean, although there is always some sort of mess that requires the staff to clean it and it usually takes a while for it to get cleaned up; tonight was no different and there were multiple spills throughout the store,
I decided to order an affogato and a chocolate croissant. The affogato was served in a to-​go cup and the chocolate croissant was a lie; it had no chocolate to be found in it whatsoever. Only half way through did I discover that it was in fact a croissant with the smelliest cheese I have ever had the misfortune of tasting.
The main problem is that even though it was 10:00pm the staff was preoccupied with work in the back or just that they were horribly, horribly understaffed.
I want to come back but if the service is anything like tonight then it’s simply not worth the time or money.

i ordered delivery through grub hub and if the food wasn’t totally cold (may have been grub hubs fault) or the poached egg wasn’t completely cooked thru and they hadn’t given me macaroons rather than petit fours like i ordered it would have been pretty good.

I ordered a turkey panini, salmon quiche, and s’mores crêpe for delivery. The panini was INEDIBLE. It had turkey and bread slapped together and lacked the brie and walnuts that it was supposed to have. For the first time in my life, I had to throw out the sandwich because it was awful. The salad that came with it was wilted and brown. That went in the trash as well. Why did I waste $ 9 on that? The other things that came in my order were tolerable, but still disappointing. The $ 10 quiche was small and mostly crust. The crêpe was priced at $ 6 on the menu, but when it arrived with the receipt, I’d been charged $ 8. I’m disappointed and feel misled. Worst of all, I spent more than $ 30 on food that tastes like balls.

Not good at all for sandwiches and salads. Really fatty food. The pastries are nice but that’s pretty much it. Won’t be back. They need some healthier options on the menu.

The grilled vegetable pannini was a little bit too crunchy to bite, but their coffee was fresh n smooth. I don’t usually have a second cup of coffee but I even refilled my coffee — it was that flavorful.

Parking: Few spaces out front, but just a short walk away from private garage
* Yes, they validate!
* Parking in this garage is actually a plus; 1 minute away but you’ll spend at least 5 checking out the cute rabbits & pond on the way
Seating: Ample seats, convenient set-​up with both chairs or partial booth, can accommodate large-​ish group or just a couple on a date
* Indoor & outdoor seating (the outdoor setting is super cute & romantic!)
Ambiance: Quaint/​charming
Price: $$ (not a drain on your wallet, and you get decent portion size and super delish)
Service: Friendly vibes
FOOD: Yummy!!! ⁵⁄₅ stars on both desserts & entrees, everything made from scratch!
While visiting family-​in-​law in AZ, I had the privilege of visiting this cute bistro! First, the validated parking garage nearby was totally worth parking a minute or two from this bistro as you get to walk through a sort of Alice in Wonderland area on the way. Great photo ops!
The restaurant itself is extremely clean with lots of windows for great natural lighting, again great for pics! They have indoor or outdoor options, I definitely recommend the outdoor seating — so romantic.
Service was wonderful! I was helped by Kevin & Justin and they really made me feel like I was their BFF! Food came out promptly and though it was relatively inexpensive they sure give large portions. I had the rosemary chicken panini, and my fiancé had bolognaise linguini. Both were absolutely delicious. You can really tell everything is made from scratch! Of course we couldn’t pass up those delicious desserts, and actually took some home. The chocolate mousse cake, chocolate brownie and cheesecake are crazy amaze. Wish I could take them with me back to Hawaii!
I highly recommend checking out this bistro if you’re in the area (or 50 miles away… whatever)

This was my third visit and unfortunately will be my last.
Try to avoid this place. If you can’t, just order a baked good from the case. Their hot food items and coffee are not great.
Food: ordered the avocado, spinach and egg breakfast sandwich on ciabatta bread. The sandwich came out on focaccia and was over buttered and tasted chemicals. The egg was an egg white, which is fine but this was not specified in the menu. The spinach was stringy and oily. There were two thin slices of avocado.
Drop coffee is self-​serve. It tasted and smelled burned.
Atmosphere: The restaurant is almost always empty or with one or two other people. The ordering counter flow is confusing and their menu is on two TV screens. The place can be really cute, but it seems like they don’t pay attention to details. There was trash and dust on tables, cleaning supplies in corners, nails on the walls where artwork used to hang.
Service: there were a lot of people working in the kitchen, but only one guy working at the counter, which would make any place run slowly. Parking validation seems to be really difficult for them to do for their patrons.

Friendlyish staff.
I’m not a stickler for service but they ought to be more careful the way they place food on their patrons table. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were in a bit of a rush.
Food wise I had the chance to try the French toast, turkey sandwich, and the turkey Swiss crêpe.
The turkey sandwich and crêpe needed more seasoning. I would choose the crêpe over the sandwich.
The French toast was perfect!

This place was worth a second chance — I suspected it would be. Really great food. The delivery was prompt the second time and the food was hot. They treated us to a replacement for the initial screw up and we ordered the same thing. It was perfect the second time.
Previous Review:
Well, I so desperately want to give this place 4 or even 5 stars. Maybe I will eventually, but for now I have to go with two.
We ordered through eat24 and were given a delivery time of an hour. An hour and fifteen minutes later I called to check and was told that our food should be here «any minute». Fifteen minutes later, I called again. It came a few minutes later — ice cold and kind of ruined. The crêpe was wet and cold from steaming in the box, condensing and then raining back down on the cooling crêpe. The French dip was just cold, still edible. We microwaved it and revived it somewhat. It was pretty good except that it came with a tiny cup of au jous that wasn’t sufficient for even half of the sandwich, let alone a sandwich that had been microwaved and toughened up a little. But it was still very good.
The spinach salad was a bit of a shock considering there wasn’t a single leaf of spinach in it. It was nothing but arugula with some tomatoes and walnuts (no Gorgonzola as listed either). However, it was fresh and the dressing was good.
The price was decent. And I have to say that when I called a few times trying to track down my dinner, the staff was very nice and apologetic. They explained that they had let the driver go home early and then were slammed with 30 orders. So I can understand that —- happens. The food that we received was subpar, but definitely suggested that if served hot or not rushed (maybe he didn’t realize how he was screwing up the spinach salad) I think it would be pretty damn good.
We will try it again someday and perhaps update with the review I think this place could achieve.

My daughter recommended Delice and we decided to grab a bite to eat after wandering through Tempe’s Art Festival. I’d like to assume that the B team was onboard since the young woman taking our order seemed distracted and argued with me over whether or not they served a brie sandwich listed on their menu. The sausage and egg crêpe my boyfriend ordered wasn’t available so he went for the spinach, chicken and cheese crêpe which was quite good.
My daughter’s brie sandwich was short on brie but the bread was great. I’d ordered the fig jam, goat cheese, walnut, and caramelized onion panini which sounds awesome, right? Unfortunately huge disappointment! The onions monopolized the flavor and made up 90% of the panini. Would have liked a little more goat cheese and walnuts. Definitely sounded better as a menu item.
We sat outside on the patio and were impressed with the super industrious and efficient young man creating crêpe after crêpe. I’m a huge Nutella fan so had to try the Nutella crêpe which was pretty good. Would recommend both the savory and sweet crepes.
I’d like to visit again when it’s not a festival weekend and the staff might be a little more engaged and welcoming.

This place has great pastries. I’m a big fan of the almond croissant (esp if they warm it a bit) and the hazelnut cake is to die for. Soooo good! They also have a nice crêpe selection, both sweet and savory. I’ve tried both and they don’t skimp out on the fillings. The apple strudel crêpe was particularly good and the filling wasn’t too sweet and the apples were still crisp. They have a nice coffee selection too.
I’ve been a few times and the service has been wonderful each time. Definitely one of my favorite bakeries in Tempe and I’ll be back often!

Took the light rail to Tempe for lunch. Delice Bistro was recommended by some friends.
We got there around mid afternoon. There were only a few people eating and no line. Expect counter service here with a large menu board that you order from. We ordered a Sausage Egg Crêpe and the Chicken Avocado Salad.
Our cashier was Borka and she was awesome! She answered our questions about the menu and told us to be sure and check out the extra dessert case. When she saw that we wanted to sit on the patio, she took our number over to one of the tables outside under a cabana. She brought out our food shortly after.
Everything was good. Very tasty. The salad was simple, but hit the spot. A good choice for a lighter lunch. The crêpe was big and filling. Much bigger than expected. We finished up and discussed which desserts to try. They all looked amazing! We decided on a Coconut Macaroon and the Croissant Bread Pudding. Both were yummy!
Great place for lunch or breakfast if you’re in Tempe!

Stumbled upon this place on the way to Starbucks and am very happy we did! It’s tucked away near W6 and Pedal Haus Brewery so I’m not sure if I even would have found it otherwise.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is excellent, I recommend the Rosemary Chicken panini. Good prices and all of the fresh juices are refreshing and tasty, I recommend the Hangover Cure.
Will definitely be returning for breakfast or brunch, there’s also a wide selection of French desserts and pastries. Can’t wait to come back!

Stopped in to Delice Bistro on a Saturday morning. I was surprised by two things — 1. How big the place is. For some reason I was expecting something smaller. Maybe because it’s a bistro? But what’s in a name… 2. I was surprised that it was not busier. Granted, it’s still summer so maybe once students are back it will pick up.
It’s an order-​at-​the-​counter kinda place so my boyfriend and I did just that. I went with a crêpe — mushroom, egg and cheese. He chose the bananas foster French toast. We also got a chocolate croissant to share.
The croissant was very good. Super flaky, lots of chocolate. Yums all around. Unfortunately the meal sis not quite match the greatness of the pastry. My crêpe came out plain on a plate. No garnish, no sauce, no presentation — no nothing but the crêpe. And now, I know I ordered a MUSHROOM crêpe. BUT. It had way too many mushrooms. It really overpowered the egg and cheese. And the whole thing was just kinda dry. A nice sauce would have really added a lot. The crêpe itself was very good, however. I bet their sweet crepes are good.
My boyfriend’s French toast had a similar ingredient overload issue — way too much caramel! The first few bites were good but then it just got too rich. Less is more, you guys.
Since the croissant was such a win, on the way out we did grab a chocolate chip cookie. Like the croissant, it was done very well. Super fresh, lots of chocolate. Yummy, yummy.
So I’ll definitely give them props for their bakery treats — really, really good. If they would just even out their entrees, this place would be 5-​star worthy.

I was initially excited to try this place based upon pictures and the menu but after stopping in for dessert I probably won’t return or it has at least moved down on my list.
We came in on a week night and split two desserts. One was a moist coconut vanilla type cake and the other was a lemon tart. The desserts were ok, but nothing special that you couldn’t find elsewhere at a standard bakery. The staff was friendly but the kitchen could have been more well kept. They had also ran out of clean silver ware so we had to use plastic forks and knives.
It’s not that it was bad, it’s just nothing above average and so I would rather visit other bakeries that have more and better options.

I was looking for a breakfast place to try on Friday when I stumbled onto Delice. I decided I’d send in my usual questions regarding my corn allergy & which pastries (I had a list!), crepes, & other items could I try in an email to their FB site around 1 am on 5/​21, & I received a reply, w/​exciting answers & a welcome to visit just 8 hours later! Most of the pastries that piqued my interest were powdered sugar-​free & only received their dusting after baking, so whoever replied (unsigned) told me to let them know when I was visiting (Friday!) & to ask for Master Baker Matt, who’ll have the pastries ready for me.
Friday morn, I received an email that asked around what time would I arrive. I said I was leaving in a few minutes. When I arrived around a quarter to 10 am, Maddie had already helped me locate a public garage nearby & let me know that parking will be validated (up to $ 4). After greeting Maddie in person & meeting Master Baker Matt, who then told me that my pastries were almost ready, I placed in an order for an Eggs & Sausage crêpe (on Maddie’s referral), a medium-​sized mocha (fyi, espressos here are made w/​Illy brand espresso) & a Bananas Foster French toast. I’d asked her if there were other nuts that could be subbed for pecans, since I’m allergic, & there was a bit of confusion, but after awhile, she confirmed that I was ordering one w/​walnuts & no powdered sugar. I paid the $ 32 plus change on my card & dropped a few dollar bills in the tip jar– order @ the counter & food arrives @ the table. I noticed that my receipt stated «Nutella French toast,» but didn’t speak up since many other restaurants have used the same key for diff. items that have the same price. In this case I should’ve, bec. Nutella French toast, w/​walnuts on top, was what arrived, but I’m getting ahead of myself, so let’s backtrack a bit.
Soon after I paid & received my d’lish hot mocha, Matt brought out the pastries (pain au raisin, pain au chocolat, & an almond croissant) AND an éclair! Matt revealed that the éclair was not going to have its chocolate coat, since the icing contains corn syrup, so I kindly asked if he could make a ganache, and he kindly obliged. Well, I think from the photos I took, you can see that everything was wonderful! The crackles of buttery layers of flaky crust were mesmerizing w/​each bite, & the flavors of both the bread & fillings were utter perfection– delightfully buttery, yet not too greasy nor too salty, & the fillings sweetened just right. I could see vanilla bean flecks in both the cream filling of the pain au raisin, & in the light, yet flavorful pastry cream that nestled inside the éclair. The fresh chocolate ganache added just enough decadence– ooh la la! Mom couldn’t make it to breakfast, but the éclair that I brought home for her to try didn’t last 20 minutes!
The tasty Eggs & Sausage crêpe was a bit of a letdown, as I found it on the dry side (made w/​turkey sausage) & some of the potato chunks I had eaten were still a little raw. The layers of crêpe was substantial, as I’m used to smaller crepes. This won’t keep me from trying Delice’s other savory crepes, but since I tend towards sweeter breakfasts, it may be awhile till you read an update. The Nutella French toast, made from croissants, as do all their other French toasts, was good. I prefer a heavier hand with Nutella, as well as added fruit, but I think most people would like it as is. As tasty as it was, it’s not Bananas Foster, so I let Matt know this when he had come around to ask how everything was. He assured that the correct French toast was on its way, although it will be awhile. No rush…
I sampled a lot of food yesterday, so I had to ask for boxes for my treats. I was eager to photograph & taste the Bananas Foster, but it came boxed & ready to go. I managed to take a pic before trying a few bites… I think all French toasts should be made w/​croissants, but that’s just my opinion. I’ll be ordering this again very soon!
Thank you, Delice & staff, for the patience & hospitality you’ve shown me! You may expect to see Mom & me soon (& an email with my pastries order in your FB inbox)!

Location: it is located in the heart of mill avenue. Lots of seating areas in the inside and also on the outside. We saw two chefs making crepes out in the open when we had dinner across the street from there. The aroma definitely attracts our attention to this place. How can I pass up crepes??? Even though I was stuff from having one lbs of crab legs, I’ll always make room for dessert.
Service: it was our first time here. The cashier was super friendly and patience with our lack of knowledge for their menu. Great service for sure.
Food: we ordered a Nutella banana crepes and a protein shake. The crêpe is so thick and they were very generous with the banana filling.
Rating: I came from LA and this was one of my favorite dessert that I’ve always wish that Arizona will have. no doubt! I’ll be here again and again and again …

We went to this Bistro based on a recommendation. It wasn’t very busy when we first went in & were able to put in an order right away. My friend & I both decided on the Rosemary Chicken Panini. Considering how busy it was (not too busy), it took a pretty long time to get our food.
Each sandwich was served with a small portion of greens topped with their mustard vinaigrette. I don’t care much for greens but I’d say that the mustard vinaigrette was the best thing on the plate. I will preface by saying that I had made a substitution to my sandwich (ordered it with pesto instead of sundried tomatoes) but it didn’t matter much since it didn’t have the taste of pesto anyway. I thought the garlic spread had a really strong flavor and there was way too much cheese. There was also an off taste to the sandwich … I’m not sure what it was. After only a few bites, I was tired of it.
The cookies looked so tempting that even though I wasn’t too impressed with my meal, I thought I’d give it a chance. Probably should’ve thought twice because it got busier at the cash register & they switched cashiers to someone who wasn’t at all efficient. It wasn’t worth the few dollars I paid or the 10 minutes I waited for it. I’m not sure if I’ll be back here.

Hurray! Another option for lunch on Mill. They have scrumptious pastries, handmade breads, soups, sandwiches, quiches… Went in the other day and had the Turkey Brie Panini with apples and walnuts and a tropical iced tea.
My meal was great and so was our service. I have to go back to try one of the hand-​dipped Bouchée chocolates especially knowing they are prepared on site by a chocolatier!
