La Parisienne French restaurant and bakery

Excellent food ranging from sandwiches, salads, quiche, pastries. So yummy! Quaint Parisienne atmosphere w/a cozy decor. Just be aware that the entrances are a bit deceiving. Seems most ppl order at the to-go counter them seat themselves. If you don't, they may not realize you're there so let them know. Been a couple of times & loved it

Visited after running the Triple Crown 10 Mile race. Fair amount of seating, but if you want outdoor it’s best to have someone save the table or throw your jacket over the chair before going inside to order. Food itself was good - I had crepes and coffee, my husband had an omelette and coffee. We ordered a few bakery items and brought them home with us to enjoy over the weekend. Employees are a little younger, which is fine - just means they don’t have as much food service experience and are still learning / may not anticipate everything that somebody with more experience would. So if they forget something or are slow to clean a table, be cool, show them some grace, and gently communicate your needs.

Our new favorite spot in Aiken! Super cute European feeling cafe with a nice atmosphere. The service was great, the food and coffee were fantastic and they even brought some biscuits out for our dog and gave him water without us having to ask them for it. Bonus that the doggie biscuit was shaped like the Eiffel Tower 🗼

We have been here a couple times for breakfast and finally made it to dinner. The entrees that we got were really tasty. We entered the restaurant from the side door and was immediately met by the owner. We were able to sit outside on the front porch. The weather and the ambiance was wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive to all of our needs. When we arrived we were a bit disappointed that it was not busy at all. We realized it was a bit early. As our meal progressed the small restaurant was slowly filling up. By the time we finished up and were leaving the restaurant was pretty much at capacity. As we left the restaurant and on the way to our car the owner popped out to ensure our experience was a good one. It was good and we chatted for a few minutes about the restaurant and went about our way. The restaurant is nestled along the train track downtown Aiken near Wilcox. I’ve seen a few restaurants come and go at this location. We hope our Aiken community will continue to support this small business. The food was great and the atmosphere is quaint! Good luck to the owner and the staff at La P!

June 2025 - party of 7. There was only one table large enough to accommodate all of us and the staff was quick to get it cleared/cleaned for us. Everyone was very happy with the food they got - really delicious pastries & baguettes - just as good as the ones I have gotten in Paris! The only negatives were: one of our coffees was incorrect (hot when should have been iced), the OJ was way too expensive for the amount received (and it's not fresh squeezed), they do not have any syrup, and one order (mine) had been forgotten about - everyone had their plates delivered but we had to inquire where the last one was. It was brought out expeditiously with apologies. Worth the wait though bc that was possibly the best quiche I've ever had! I would definitely eat here again.
