Nice and open view comfortable seating- order your food and seat yourself. But I like that it’s easy. Some small tables outside if you’d like. Limited parking I parked at Aldi”s grocer . Nice staff

Food was good but not something I'd drive out of the way for. They just opened and have some kinks to work out like any new place. The service still has some issues to work out as well - one order was brought out on a plate and the other in a take away container. Overall the experience was good though and I'm sure they will do well.

Positive : quaint area for brunch or breakfast with nice outdoor seating friendly customer service .
Negatives ; my girlfriend ordered salmon Crepe however was still raw in the middle. We asked to have cooked again and after 17 minutes of waiting elected to ask for a refund. We don’t mind waiting for quality food and dislike sending food back however This lengthy of a delay on a non busy day was excessive and hence the lower rating. Will give a second chance and update score accordingly

There are a few French Cafes to choose from but this place was delicious. On our vacation we didn't want to stay at the resort and love to find different coffees and foods. We will definitely be back.

I work from home, and this is one of my favorite places to hang out while working. I'm here so much that the owners and workers know me. I have tried a lot of items, and the different pastries are awesome. The pastries are freshly made daily. The African Solstice tea is awesome. Everyone is super nice. Ask for Brittany who has become my chit chat friend. I talk to everyone so much that it feels like Cheers where everyone knows your name. They also have a location in Hamlin.

I highly recommend the spot! They are great for breakfast and lunch. Their sandwich menu is absolutely delicious I have not tried one that I didn't like. Their omelettes are plentiful and are easily shareable. My favorite thing is their crème brûlée coffee. They literally torch sugar on top. It is such an impressive coffee drink.

The Feench bakery is just delightful a fresh selection of pastries, constantly made, delicious coffee, the omelets and sandwiches are delicious, the service is great, the servers are helpful, the place is clean and you can see the kitchen clean, clean, clean. They do change some of the pastries so every time you go is a new experience. They do have outdoor sitting.

I’m in between 3 and 4 stars but I’ll give 4 because the place was clean and the staff was friendly. The food was okay though. The pictures give it more justice. The orange juice was definitely freshly squeezed though. One of the only places I’ve been to where I can genuinely say that. The breakfast sandwich on the baguette and the croissant sandwich were okay but they lacked flavor. The salad served with it was disappointing. Lettuce, tomato, and red onion in a small bowl felt more like a half a side salad. The crepe had good flavor but the crepe itself was rubbery. It seemed like a thin

This place has been on my list for quite some time. Being a avid fan of French cafes. During my visit, they were some good things and not so good things.

The good was service related. They were very friendly and accommodating to given requests. For example I added tomatoes to my crêpe or asked for milk with my coffee.

Covid related, I did see two employees without masks on. While laws are more open than they should be in Florida, interior businesses usually require masks on. So, I wasn't really comfortable with employees unmasked. Regardless of vaccination status.

Went for breakfast and it was great. Food and coffee were fresh and delicious. OJ was great and fresh squeezed (or at least tasted that way). Staff was friendly. Nice set up inside and tables outside for dining as well. Some things take a little longer to cool and food was coming out as it was ready, but we didn't mind!

I recently placed an order at this cafe and realized when I arrived home that they had given me the wrong quiche. I called and spoke to Brittney who was extremely nice about the whole mix up. She was extremely professional, and told me she would have the corrected order readied for me immediately. Even though it was so busy she prioritized my issue and Patrice was able to make a fresh quiche and in a timely manner. Patrice was also very pleasant and togethet they create a very warm and welcoming environment at this location. I have visited other locations in this chain and this location is by far

Dont waste your time coming here.

The service was terrible. Food took forever. It came cold. I ordered the breakfast croissant. Don't waste your money in here. The Nutella crepe was the worse crepe i have ever had. It did not have any Nutella at all, and the crepe itself was so chewy almost unedible. The salmon omelet came with toast that was out of the fridge cold.

Do not waste your time coming here. I repeat. Do not. Worse experience ever. Their food was subpar and service was terrible.

As someone who has lived in Paris, I wanted to like this place--I really did. But the food quality is absolutely awful. If you like to pay for overpriced frozen food, this is the place for you. The almond croissant I got was dry and crunchy as if it had been sitting there for hours (which doesn't make sense, if they open at 8am and I got there at 9:30). The spinach quiche I ordered tasted like it had been frozen and they'd heated it up when I ordered it. The fruit cup I got with my quiche was visibly old, and when I got to the bottom of it, I found a moldy raspberry. Food safety is out

First time back since the pandemic. Just haven't been in this area in a while. Forgot to take pics since we were busy dividing the items so we could all try each entree. Sorry!

We got our old faves: Breakfast Croissant & Quiche Lorraine. Swiss Croissant is no longer available. I'll blame that on the Pandey, but without anything to back up that assumption.

And Mike's sister got the Breakfast Crepe. Will have to say things are bit as good as they were. Will blame that on the supply chain during this crazy time. Or possibly being a victim of their own success.

I am so happy we chose this place,
we were going for a light snack,
Not too filling but full enough.
Our order was perfect, we had looked up some reviews and found the
Monte Cristo
which happens to be a seasonal sandwich.
The waitress asked the chef if he could make it. He had the ingredients and vwala Turkey cheddar on French toast with some amazing mustard.
The home fries were seasoned to perfection and we were able to eat them after getting home hours later. That's how you can tell a good tot.
Can't wait to go back.
Oh and the coffee machine so shiny!
I love cappuccinos

Excellent service, and a nice brunch option if you like eating outside on a beautiful day. I especially love the coffee options and how everything is presented, the banana French Toast was good not too sweet which I appreciated. It's pretty casual here, would give it five stars if they had mimosas as an option. I'd definitely recommend to friends, great menu options looking forward to visiting again.

We used to love this place, we went almost every weekend, however things have really changed. Every time we have ordered from here over the past few months there have been problems. We stopped for a few months and tried again and still problems. Usually the order ends up being wrong after taking a very unusual long amount of time. Too many times we've tried calling and their phone is off the hook.

The last time we ordered from here, I ordered an omelet with mushrooms and cheese. It took about an hour and a half. By the time I got my food I found that they added bacon - I don't eat pork

We love French Cafe! Their pastries are the best you can get in the area (if you can get here early enough before they sell out)! We snagged the blueberry danish on our latest visit and it was worth the walk over. So delicious! The Atlantic crepe was one of the best we've ever had. Lastly, the home style breakfast was a perfect start to the day and filled us right up. Not pictured, but we also HIGHLY recommend the cream cheese beignet and Nutella beignet--they stuff the HECK out of those and they are so delectable.

French Cafe also recently opened up a new seating area off to the side, making

We had friends in town who wanted to grab a danish. We had wanted to try this place out and thought they would enjoy it as well. It's located in a small shopping plaza located by the Publix. There is parking but it can be tight if the businesses around it are busy as well. Luckily, we got there around 10:30am and during Covid, so it was not too busy. They currently have very limited seating inside but there is a decent amount of outdoor seating.

We ordered a cappachino, a green mango peach tea, a cheese danish, a croissant and the nutella beignet. The cappachino was delicious, the tea was

COVID-19 update:
They are still up and running. Serving take-out and to-go. I've come a few times and although their pastry inventory seem somewhat limited, they are still delicious. The chocolate croissant was super flaky and the cream filled donut thing that i had was bomb.com! The smoked salmon quiche was perfect blend of flavors and satisfied my need for a different flavor cause I was tired of my own cooking. I can't wait until they re-open when this is all over, and my family can relax in the outdoor area with a couple of french pastries, sipping on some strong espressos, while

Decided to stop in for lunch today, and boy were we impressed. The sandwiches are fresh, the bread is amazing, and the pastries inside the store look so good.

My husband got the chicken salad on a croissant. I got the Provençal and added chicken to it. We both got iced tea - and bonus points for it coming out in real glasses!

They also have a free rewards program, so you can earn points with each visit.

We will definitely be back!

In addition to a nice selection of authentic pastries. The French Cafe offers crepes and sandwiches. By Alpine crepe was very generously stuffed with meats and potatoes. My companion's tuna sandwich was served on a huge croissant, and accompanied by fries.

They also have the usual assortment of hot and cold coffees, which are well prepared and served in nice glassware.

Although you order at a counter, they bring the food to your table. There is also a nice outside eating area.

Went into The French Cafe thinking, but not influenced by, the fact that I thought it was associated with My French Cafe. Well let's clear that up - it is not. With that said:

Not overly crazy about this place either. Friendly service, nice location and the pastries were very nice. But it took 20 minutes for a breakfast crepe which I thought was a little long (I could be wrong). It was steady, but I wouldn't call it overwhelming busy for a Sunday morning.

Would I stop in for some pastries to go? Yes
Will I choose to go there for sit down bite? Probably not.

The French Cafe is a great local breakfast spot! My family and I went on a whim and were very pleased. I had a cappuccino and the veggie omelette. The cappuccino was delicious! The veggie omelette was huge, very fresh and loaded with a variety of veggies.

The interior is very clean and cute, and the staff was super friendly.

The French Cafe has a warm relaxing atmosphere. You have the option of dining inside or out. They are new so some reviewers are expressing a few issues that can be expected as they work through their processes.

During our visit everything went perfect. My husband and I stopped by for coffee and stayed to sample some pastries and a quiche. The coffee was delicious. It was served hot and strong with two tiny cookies. The cream pastry was delicate, very fresh and delicious. We chose a quiche that had ham, Swiss cheese and bacon. The egg mixture was like custard and is something that I would order
