This delightful coffee shop offers a cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot for remote work or casual hangouts.

The balance of spices in the Dirty Chai has captivated many visitors, adding to the café's allure.

Reviews For Petite Clouet Café

i like sports and i don’t care who knows

Can get over-run with tourist groups and remote workers to where there is no where to sit inside. Which I say not in a negative way towards the business, just can be frustrating at times when you want to chill and there’s no where to sit. Just know you may have to wait for a seat to open up when they are busy... other times there’s plenty of spots. Just a flip-of-the-coin! Staff are always friendly, the place is cute and plenty of doggos. Pastries are good but not amazing like the drinks. Dirty Chai is hands down the best i’ve had in town- spice is balanced PERFECTLY (please never change it lol). I have been to a good portion of the coffee shops in the city- this is in my opinion one of the best. Can’t speak to the food in the fridge as I haven’t tried any. Overall a bit expensive, but you can tell it’s due to the care they put into the ingredients and shop itself. Highly recommend!!

If you're in Bywater and need caffeine or a nice place to work or read, go to Petite Clouet Cafe, a spacious corner cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Stopping in for caffeine, my wife enjoyed the iced peach tea and I loved the iced chai latte. Service was excellent and quick!

One of our favorite spots in the city!!! This place feels like home, with good coffee, good energy, and good people to match. The pastries and small plates are locally sourced and are incredible! All human and pup visitors are so friendly, the space is so welcoming and cozy, and the staff is incredibly kind. Good wifi for working, comfy couches for reading, great outdoor seating for sunshine. And the best happy hour for your afternoon pick me up. My pup’s favorite home away from home, we love this space!

It’s a dog’s world and believe me, and there is one who reigns as the Queen of Petite Clouet! Morning coffee & pastries at Petite Clouet to start your day. A local coffee and tea house offers a quaint workspace and latte breakout space. I rather like the almond croissants and mint ice tea!

One of my favorite spots in the city! Great selection of fresh pastry and beverages. Awesome atmosphere to work or hang out. Today they had a special blueberry matcha latte - that was excellent! Very friendly staff.

I stumbled into this cute little cafe while looking for a place that would be open early for a coffee. It has such a warm, open, bright atmosphere. The baristas were so lovely. I can't stand visiting cafes with pretentious baristas who can't be bothered to welcome their guests. I ordered a single shot latte and my husband ordered a triple shot latte and I must say this place knows how to pull an excellent espresso shot. Will happily come back here again when we're in town.

Great little coffee shop with really good coffee and a great selection of snacks. The macha latte with oat milk is delicious also. Love the egg and cheese croissant as well as the breakfast croissant, you need to microwave it yourself though. They have Tacos from Rosalita's too. Seems to get very busy so you might struggle with a place to sit at times

Extremelyyy friendly staff, so joyful, adorable, welcoming, genuine, put a smile on your face when you’re having a bad day. Oat flat white was good, and loved having a vegan banana bread option! Super affordable too (compared to where I currently live in Miami haha)
