The large windows and the ambience of the space are really what sell it for me. The brunch is also very delicious although seems like it's a little pricey for what it is. The desserts and the dessert case are also delicious and I would highly recommend grabbing a croissant or two. My only gripe with this location is finding parking. There is an attached parking garage under the soma towers, but if that lot is full, it can be tricky to find parking in the surrounding area

Date night vibes Not gonna be full when you leave unless you order a few more items lol tasty and the ambience is perf

Only giving it 4 stars bc we didn't try the food! However the waitress who helped us was soo nice & very knowledgeable about the wine! Made wonderful recommendations. It smells yummy in there, and the chocolate mousse was being ordered like crazy. We live very far from Bellevue, but if we were ever back in the area, we would return for a glass of wine and some French pastries.

Amazing service and great dolce selection! We stopped by as a group after the dinner we had a great time! They had a open seats outside and it was perfect summer night with wines and sweets. We ordered one each of everything from dolce show case and my favorite one was Yuzu fravor.

Such a cute vibe here! The food was delicious too! Made reservations for a party of 4 on a Saturday at 1pm. There was no issue with our reservation however, they were out of quite a few things on the already small menu which was a bummer. Also, the chairs are VERY uncomfortable. We were all contemplating just standing up and eating. Besides that, the food was delicious. Service was great!

An excellent place to celebrate a sunny Saturday kickoff to the holiday weekend. We started with the cheese-stuffed gougeres. They were fabulous and, with a salad, could make a meal on its own. The three-cheese plate was just right for two; the cheeses selected were flavorful without being too unusual for mainstream tastes. We shared an entree - a creamy pasta with shaved truffle and Jamon. The pasta was undercooked, chewy rather than toothsome. The chocolate mousse was the meal's crown!! We truly enjoyed the champagne and our glass of Passe Partout. A few negatives - the online menus have not been updated, and so we came expecting Happy Hour and a completely different set of food options. The garage parking is unclear. You have to get a ticket as you park, not as you leave. That cost us a $66 fine.

They're not currently doing wine tasting! I was disappointed that this info was not made available on their site beforehand, since I drove all the way out here. However, our server was very friendly and gave recommendations for wine by the glass. I do love their decor. They have a small outdoor patio and indoor seating with cute teddy bears! They also serve pastries and macarons! I didn't try them but they looked really good.

I love Cepae - for their amazing food, super friendly and efficient service, and they are locally owned. The founder and owner, Julien Hervet, was born and raised in France and then moved to the United States to get his MBA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He then worked in tech for many years. Julien is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about wine and has a wine shop that shares the space with the bakery/cafe. Support this local gem!

We met for drinks and snacks on the gorgeous patio of Cepae as a glamorous going away party for our friend moving to NYC. This super swanky wine bar in downtown Bell puts the C in chic. With its urban design it sports clean modern lines, a long wood and black bar, and lush vegetation growing in planters for a splash of color. Their outdoor patio is refreshing and comfy with plush grey couches and table service. We were able to snag spots on the couches and enjoyed the beautiful day while sipping some wine. They have a great happy hour from 4:30-6 and 9-close that we fully intended to take advantage of. We each ordered some wine off the happy hour menu, though of course they have an extensive selection if you prefer something else. With this being a french patisserie I wasn't shocked that there were a lot of restrictions because of my gluten allergy, but I was pleased to see they do have some options! We ordered the charcuterie and fromage which was beautifully presented on a white marble board with a selection of cured meats, cheeses, and some gorgeous fresh figs. The black truffle chips were also fantastic. The others enjoyed the le crabe and I at least gave it compliments to its lovely presentation. On the dinner and lunch menus there are a few more gf options, but don't expect a ton if you are celiac. Our service the whole afternoon was excellent with our server and wine steward helping us make good choices to accompany our snacks we'd ordered. Quite a lovely place though I wish that I could sample more of their menu.
