    Don't be fooled by the existing reviews. I wonder how many reviews posted here are "real." Having traveled to France more than a few times, I can assure you that there is nothing even remotely as bad as this anywhere in the country. The French do take pride in their food! Calling this a French restaurant (or even French influenced) is akin to calling McDonald's, "Fine American Dining." Yes, they serve croissants and crepes, but I can also buy them at Publix for a lot less and better tasting! It was $8.00+ per sandwich ($16!!), one ham croissant, one bacon, egg, and cheese. No side! This place is as good as any Dunkin Donuts shop that sells the same sandwich for $2.29! We left hungry. Absolutely avoid. Huge ripoff.

    Amazing breakfast& brunch!! The place has a genuine french chef!!! and he knows his stuff :). The food was delicious. We had the ham and goat cheese quiche and the omlet with bacon and cheese. Sooo goood. And u know the french have amazing deserts, soo we could not help ourselves- we had crapes and french toast. Amaaazing. They have a variety of cakes and pastry that they prepare in house, every day fresh and it is delicious. Price is really good, the weitresses prompt and friendly and food comes out really fast. This is a MUST try place!

    This place was so good! We got a recommendation from a friend and decided to try it out. The decor is not the best and it pretty much looks like any American restaurant in the area… but when the food arrived - wow! Everything was fresh, flavorful, delicious! We ordered croissant sandwiches which were devine! They make the French fries in house and they are absolutely delicious! I’ve been to France and had real French fries and these are the closest to the original I’ve tried in the US. The salad and vegetables were super fresh, the dressing really good. We even took a slice of apple pie home as their pastries are absolutely amazing. The prices are reasonable too! I definitely recommend them for breakfast or brunch and we will definitely come back.

    The recent change in ownership is quite apparent - Canned mushrooms on the omelette? Assistant cook wearing slides, barefoot? Pastry cases half full at 8:30 AM? It’s just not the same…’Jerome’.

    Man! I am glad that I found this restaurant. The pastries are delicious, the croissants are amazing (like my last trip in Europe). And finally a real coffee! My wife enjoyed the tropezienne and my son the chocolate cake. thanks guys!

    My only regret about this place is that I did not find it sooner. What a great bakery and dining restaurant. The pastries are so delicious as well. Also the owners and employees are awesome. If you haven’t tried it yet please do.

    The croissants, the French toast, it is all delicious here. This morning I tremendously enjoyed a flat omelette with goat cheese and French fries prepared by Tyrone, a true culinary artist.

    This intimate small French restaurant is a gem for those seeking an authentic quick bite. The food and service is simply amazing, with carefully crafted dishes that showcase classic French breakfasts. And don't forget to save room for dessert - the sweet treats are divine!

    My fellow travelers if you're looking for a place to stop and enjoy breakfast and pastries you have found the perfect spot. Flying with Jerome is a beautiful little bistro that can boast it has a stunning journey for your senses. The quaint and intimate space invites you to share your time over conversation while visually exploring the decor and decadent desserts and pastries. You won't find a more intimate personal service anywhere nearby. You truly feel like the place is open just for you. However, the cuisine is not only appealing to the eye and the taste buds but it's uplifting to the spirit and your mood. A visit to flying with Jerome can change your entire outlook on your day. Fellow travelers I suggest stop in and enjoy this unique experience.

    Food was good. They have really nice looking desserts that tasted great too. Just a couple things: the server forgot things multiple times and the owner abruptly came by our table and looked into our soup in the middle of our conversation. She leaned over the table and asked why we hadn’t finished it, so that was rude. The other owner was nice though. He was very conversational and great to talk to!

    ​We ordered our Thanksgiving desserts from Flying with Jerome​.​ The staff and were very helpful, informative and friendly. Not only were the cake decorations a work of art, also they were delicious. ​​We (and many of our guests) will definitely order from Flying with Jerome again.

    I've been to this restaurant a handful of times and I just can't seem to get enough of it. The fries are so addictive and just perfectly crispy and salty they pair so well with mayoketchup. The eggs are always cooked exactly as ordered. The staff of auper friendly and attentive. The croque madame is my go to but, their french toast is so fluffy and crispy should not be overlooked at all. It's almost impossible to not to want to order everything. Even when I'm full I want more.

    What a wonderful place, the coffee is good, bakery choice is plenty and food menu are also good. Service is excellent and the food came out great. Should try if in the area. Update: The staff wears masks and also very friendly. The tables could be further apart, but it wasn't full. So the two tables near us weren't taken. The french toast is different and could be fried. However, it wasn't greasy and tasted great.

    My husband and I pleasantly stumbled upon this cafe this morning and we were happy with the delicious food, friendly attentive service and very reasonable prices. The coffee was excellent too. We did not get pastries this time but will in the future as they look like works of art! We got the bacon and egg croissant sandwiches and got crepes to go for our adult children and we were all extremely satisfied with our choices. In fact we have found our new favorite local restaurant. (Many have around the same prices, including fast food restaurants, but the quality here makes it stand out from the others.) Highly recommend!

    The best croissants I’ve ever had! Excellent service and superior pastries. A hidden gem! Thank you David and family :)

  • 5/5 Richard H. 7 months ago on Google
    Such a fun place for breakfast. The owner and his wife are so friendly. My omelette was perfect. The coffee is delicious. The croissants are made in house. The apple pastry wants me to go back and take home more,

    The food was good, the croissant tasted very fresh. Wife was not impressed with the cappuccino but probably not the right place to get one anyway. We’ll try pastries next time.

    I would highly recommend Chez David. He has recently taken over the former “Flying with Jerome” the food was great and wonderful portions. We found it a very friendly atmosphere and the coffee was the best I have had in a restaurant in years. Small cozy bistro with about 5 booths and 8 tables. Nice selection of pastries which we could barely finish after such a tasty brunch. I enjoyed a 3 egg chorizo and goat cheese omelette with salad and my Isabel had the Eggs Benedict with fresh fruit. We shared a small plate of French fries and the apple tarte to finish. If you find yourself in the area stop by but for those further out I would even recommend you searching it out… it will be worth it! I’ll take more pics next visit…

    Great restaurant! Friendly staff and great selection. Food was delicious. Will definitely be back again. Love the pastries and their macarons! Best in the area. The only suggestion is to get an additional person to help during the busy times. The wait staff appeared a bit overwhelmed but still maintained friendly service.

    I have been enjoying food here several times since moving to the area a few months ago. Love the latte. The donut cream is huge and filled with the most delicious cream I have ever tasted. This is a wonderful spot to enjoy a brunch! Always take home additional donuts, pastries and croissants too.

  • 5/5 Keir W. 1 year ago on Google
    I love great food and this was fantastic! We had crepes and quiche and Wow 🤩 The pastry case looked incredible and we will definitely be back. The owner comes around with your food and his wife and he are warm and friendly. Look at that delicious heart ❤️ shaped raspberry mousse 😋 Highly recommend 👍🏼👍🏼

    We are french and visiting florida for the first time. A happy coincidence made us discover this restaurant. The owners are charming and we enjoyed our meal, a tasty salad quiche and orange crepes. The french fries was home made and fruit salad with fresh fruit. The cappuccino was amazing and the croissant a part of France. Portions just enough not to spoil. Great discovery of our trip. We couldn't resist to take pastry to go!

  • 5/5 Brandon H. 2 years ago on Google
    Tres bien! My wife had the egg white omelette and I had the croque sandwich, both were magnifique. The crepes were also wonderful, but eat them quickly. They were also very accommodating to our baby.

  • 5/5 Robert L. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff and really, really good food. They also have good coffee and a small adult beverage selection. I have had 2 meals here approximately 3 weeks apart and the quality and consistency are simply astounding. It looks like a hole in the wall, but don’t let appearance’s deceive you. Eat here. You won’t regret it.
