One Year of Flavor & Charm: C’est La Vie Celebrates Its First Anniversary in Lakewood Ranch

Lakewood Ranch, FL – May 7, 2025 – Nestled along the charming stretch of Town Center Parkway just minutes from UTC, C’est La Vie Restaurant is celebrating a major milestone: one year of serving Lakewood Ranch with French-inspired bakery dishes, boutique foods, and unbeatable breakfast delights.

Located at 9118 Town Center Parkway, this cozy yet refined eatery has quietly become a local gem—one that balances authentic French culinary flair with approachable pricing and neighborhood warmth.

🍳 A Fresh Take on Breakfast, the French Way

From the moment you walk through the doors, the scent of freshly baked French bread, buttery croissants, and strong espresso hits you like a warm hug. Every morning, the team at C’est La Vie rises early to craft the bakery’s signature breads and pastries from scratch, ensuring each guest experiences a slice of Paris right here in Southwest Florida.

Their breakfast menu is the kind you can’t help but rave about—especially if you’re a fan of flaky, golden quiche, hand-rolled croissants, or perfectly made cappuccinos and espresso shots. The sweet dessert dishes, ideal for capping off brunch or taking home for later, are not to be missed—especially with Mother’s Day around the corner.
