Great mocha. Loved their double baked almond croissant.Their paninis were ok.Had a croissant sandwich and the croissant sandwich was of great quality

Nice little bakery on the first floor inside the building . We visited for breakfast and was we came out happy and satisfied. We opted for hot croissants sandwich and hot panini grill roasted turkey and havarti. Both tasted good. We also got an pineapple turnover and cappuccino and cappuccino Viennese and both were nice . Our service was nice and polite. The person ( boy) on the counter was sooo nice and polite and smiling and helpful. There are few sports inside the cafe to sit and eat and also outside the cafe .

I loved the my morning Latte here. Good ambiance and friendly staff

One of my favorite bakeries here in Bellevue. Im in love with their mango cake. Ive also tried their white chocolate mocha and salads a couple times and I really liked them. Little bit on the expensive side but totally worth it. Definitely try their mango cake! I would request them to change their hours and keep the bakery open until late evenings especially as we see the fall/winter coming.

Ordered the iced chai latte after ordering a delicious one at the Kirkland branch. However, I’m pretty sure I got a 24oz cup of plain almond milk.

Yummy cakes! One of my must go places when in Bellevue.

Great spot bomb tasty pasteris

Poor customer service. This review used to be a positive one, since I was this place’s regular, but today was extremely disappointing. My latte was the most bitter latte ever, and I simply asked them to add more milk. They said they can pour me cold milk, but I have to pay for the hot one. What?! The dumbest thing ever. I ended up paying for a little milk almost the same price as for my coffee. I think that just really shows how much they care or rather not care about their customers.

Good baked goods and Attibassi Italian coffee makes this a great place for a break. Tbey also have a lunch menu of sandwiches, crepes and paninis. Coffee service is slower than the much busier French Bakery at Crossroads Shopping Mall, which explains the missing star. (PS - The French Bakery in Redmond is similar to this location).

I just read a review mocking the hand sanitizer here, what a joke. If Im in the area, and now I live here, I have to stop by for a snack or quick bite.I typically get their Vietnamese iced coffee which requires real strength of will to resist buying every day. I usually get some sort of pastry as well, which is pretty hit or hit, perhaps its missed once.On the savory side Ive tried their Croque Madame which isnt a true madame but its still a good sandwich, and their croissant sandwich is also good.

Everything here is amazing. If you havent traveled out of your way to go get something from these incredible pastry makers, youre missing out in life.

So excited about this place. Everything looks so delicious

The salad was not too fresh. the panini was too small and the ham smelled fishy.The price is too high. Id rather go to Costco and get a $2 hot dor.

We always love the cakes and bread. My son like the Mango cake so much.

I stop here frequently after my barre class next door, and it never disappoints! Delicious fresh pastries, lunch options and coffee makes me want to go back for more! Love it!

It is located inside a large glass building, bright with loads of natural light. The bakery was on the first floor, easy to find with tables right by the escalator. They did have some real outdoor seating also.We got Café Au Lait, Slice of Coffee Swiss, and Twice Baked Chocolate Almond Croissant. They were both nice little dessert, not the best Ive had, but it was a good way to start the morning. We also had one real dish, savory “Paul” crepe. The filling was almost like chicken salad or tuna salad, only with salmon. This version was interesting, and quite tasty!We enjoyed the breakfast here, so we decided to go back again for another breakfast. This time, we got Marionberry Cream Cheese Croissant, and Slice of Blueberry Cream Cake. The croissant was just a-ok, but the cake was much better than I thought it would be. The crepe of choice for this day was Pierre. It was more simple, but comforting, tasty, and filling.The staffs were not overly friendly, but polite. The coffee was good and the food was tasty. The portion of savory crepe was pretty big, enough to share. Affordable and relaxing atmosphere.

Cant go wrong going to any of the French Bakeries! This particular one has plenty of outdoor seating.

Sep 1:2020While I was waiting in the line, I had to experience how the French Bakery treats their customers. A lady found hair in the cake she was eating. She ate more than half of the cake. she was humiliated when she went and told about the hair she found to the barista. The barista claims that the hair could’ve fallen while she was eating. Posting this to let the viewers decide on how the customer should have been treated. My view was that the lady should’ve gotten a new cake. I was standing there in the line and could feel that the lady was not wrong. And she was getting mean responses. I took a video of it and unfortunately I was not able to post the video.

By far the best pastries I’ve ever had.

They are ok if no better options are available. The Opera hit the mark, just sweet, not much flavor, and the texture just like a regular layered cake. Fruit tartlettes are usually not bad. The only thing I really liked were the meringues

I went to The French Bakery expecting to be disappointed. After all, this is Bellevue, not France.When I walked in, I was greeted with an array of baked goods, multiple vegetarian options on the menu, and cheery staff members. I ordered the Roasted Veggie & Havarti sandwich, and it arrived pretty quickly.I thought the food was pretty tasty. The salad was a little overdressed, although I could have just asked for dressing on the side.Overall, I enjoyed my visit to The French Bakery and would go again. It didnt seem particularly French or personal (it had more of a chain feel), it was good for what it was.

Best bakery in town. Everything is so fresh and tasty. If youre a savory lover like me, the veggie and pesto croissant are to die for. Their coffee is also great. Definitely one of my favorite breakfast spots in Bellevue.

Best coffee, croissants and cakes. Almost have their coffee twice every week.Favorite coffee to try is their cafe Mocha

The crossants is so delicious, I will give them 4 star because the staff not friendly and latte taste good but cold.

Finally some good Italian coffee!! Baked goods are also nicely made. They have some savory crepes that I really want to try.

Super nice, extremely patient with our option paralysis!! Prices for amazing pastries ran 3-5 ish, ..prompt exemplary service! Wonderful experience!

Delicious pastries at a very affordable price.

Great food, great pastries, great coffee, great atmosphere - what else could you want?

Love their desserts and buttery pastries. Lots of different sweet, savory, and even vegetarian combos. Make sure to grab a coffee and baguette for the road!

A small place to take a break and coffee🙂, the taste no extraordinary, but is good,

Nice French Bakery with good selection of croissants, both sweet and savory. They also serve crepes, sweet & savory. The coffee is excellent, one of the best. It’s a place to go for ’general’ French style bakery but the top tier like Besalu is in Ballard. Breads are so-so. We had breakfast on our anniversary and they were out of Bananas for the crepe and the counter lady was in foul mood, could be just one-off.

Terrible Chinese Service! I went there to buy 2 coffee eclairs. I’ve paid for them and I was waiting to get my order.. while a Chinese lady came after me and placed her order.. as I was waiting for my order I’ve notice one of the cashiers is boxing all the eclairs and the one who got my order informs me that there are no more coffee eclairs. Looks like the Chinese lady who came and ordered after me got them all.. I tell them that I’ve placed my order before her, but the manager probably, (Chinese too) just decides to ignore me and gives the other Chinese lady all the eclairs.. including the 2 ones I got! This is my 3 time bad experience with them. I will never buy from this location again!! The Crossroads one is the best!! Nicest people, always smiling and being kind!! These Chinese lady should learned something from them!!

The coffee, imported from Italy, was smooth and tasty. The croissants were excellent, especially the strawberry cream cheese variety. The cookies we tried, however, were disappointing. The soft-based chocolate chip cookie was dry, and although it had nice chocolate chunks on top, there were none inside the cookie, and it was too thick/dense. The Nutella shortbread was bland. I still highly recommend the bakery, but suggest focusing on the pastries rather than the cookies.

Amazing food, free refill coffee, 4/5 stars cause the tables dont balance 😬

Go with the crepes!! Many flavors! Friendly staff!

Coffe check, scooby snack delicious

The crepes here are not good at all. I have tried them a few times and each time was bad. The crepes themselves are always sparse with ingredients and lacking flavor. The ingredients are also not evenly spread out but usually in chunks. The crepe batter is also soggy and easily falls a part.

We enjoyed the fruit tartlet, the mille feuille, and chocolate cake. They were delicious!

Great food and coffee. We’re staying nearby at a hotel and walked over. Your barista needs to cheer up. She’s pretty cold and unfriendly, but the other woman working makes up for it by being genuinely friendly. We love the pastries, crepes, and breakfast sandwiches. Thank you.

Great atmosphere, Excellent pastry, latte in downtown Bellevue.

They brought my ridiculous sandwich without my coffee.They left the coffee on the counter without telling me.The sandwich die not have the bacon I asked.

I discovered this place today and I was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the croque madame, and its amazing! Its very, very good and even comes with an arugula salad. Im definitely coming back again!

I bought 3 different croissants and a mille feuilles. The croissants were so tough I thought I was chewing the bag. The mille feuilles was soggy, mushy, with tasteless creme. I called them, and as I was unable to return for a refund before they closed, they offered to refund my card. They did not. Worst pastry Ive ever had.

Reasonably priced and everything is consistently delicious.

My favorite French Bakery in the area! Period.EVERYTHING is tasty and of great price. Their service is always good, and the atmosphere fantastic.Will miss it soooo much. Definitely come back for food and coffee whenever I have a chance.

They have really good coffee and really delicious marionberry croissants but the service is below average there’s a younger lady there with black hair who is always rude ( maybe the owner) we thought maybe she was just having a bad day the last time we came but when we walked in she was rude again and then as soon as the next customer walked in she was very friendly and polite. Not sure if this is a thing about race but it sure feels like it, as much as we enjoy this coffee and croissants we will not be coming back.

So good...everything!

I stumbled upon this place looking for some authentic Mexican, but we ended up finding something better! This place has some really good, authentic Central American food. No frills inside this place, but the food makes up for it. They even have a self-serve salsa bar which is cool. They have some small English in fine print on the menu- but its mostly in Spanish

First time here. Loved it. Bread was excellent. And the service was wonderful--we were offered samples

Great food! I wish someone had told us when the order was ready instead of it just sitting there on the counter.

Best coffee around. Love star bucks and was a loyal fan but after this place Starbucks just tastes burnt to me. Always friendly and good food too. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved their savory crepes with spinach and mushroom. Probably the best crepes I’ve had and I’ve been to many places. Cappuccino was very nice although the presentation could have been better. The tables were dirty and there was cinnamon all over my mug handle but overall it was a very nice experience.

Coffee, and espresso is so good. Baked goods are also delicious. Some outdoor and mall/lobby seating.

Best dry cappuccino on the east side. Period. French bakery is good enough. Very friendly and intelligent staff.

We have been here before and we were pleased with the experience.Today, it was not friendly or welcoming. Seemed like they were forced to go up to work.Food was OK.Charged a dollar for cream for espresso. Really?

Love their London Fogs and iced tea

If this was the only French bakery in town, I would put up with the rude customer service. However, since there are other options, I don’t feel the need to come here anymore. Used to love this place but the workers aren’t that nice anymore.

Absolutely love this place. Amazing fresh authentic French pastries that hit the spot every time. Super friendly staff and a clean environment. A must if you’re in the area!!!

Croissants were delicious, also tried the Sophie crepe and was not impressed. Good atmosphere and while it looks like any other bakery it still had an attractive feel to it. Would recommend but I am still in search of the best french bakery in the Seattle area.

My girlfriend (who is French) and I recently moved to this area and was excited to try some French places. The crêpe and croque monsieur were both incredibly disappointing. Not sure why there are so many reviews of how authentic the food is.

Viennese coffee...nd the yummy swiss coffee cake - the best!

I love The French bakery and pay visits here since they opened at Elements. We were also buying their tasty bread and croissants in my daughters French school. However, today when I ate in, I was given completely dirty and sticky cutlery. There were remnants of food stuck on my fork and, obviously, it was not properly washed. When I brought up this issue at the cash register, they were very apologetic and replaced my fork and knife with different set which was also sticky, but at least looked clean. It took a while to get me a new set, so I suspect they were manually cleaning them. I find It is very low standards and health hazard due to a risk of passing communicable diseases.I was sure that in a public place everything should be thoroughly cleaned with high temperature water and proper cleaning solutionNever had such an experience in a place like that. Will not go back till they raise their cleaning standards and teach the personnel that dirty stuff should not be served.Coffee viennese tasted really good but was warm rather than hot. Alice crepe was disappointing as the dough was thick and tasteless, like made from the box. Variety of offered products was awesome as usual, and hopefully, tasty. Added one star for that.

Love this place, go here a lot, but the baguettes for the paninis lately are really stale. They claim they’re freshly baked daily - but I don’t buy it. They were a lot better pre-COVID19.

Worst crepes I have ever eaten :( poor service too- messed up my order and poor sanitization in covid times :( :(

Delicious breakfast pastries and cake!!!

Had the jacque crepe. Was not disappointed! Very tasty, and much bigger than I expected. We ordered 1 each, next time I think we will split one! Its a plate full with a nice side salad. Kept me satisfied for hours. A pleasant surprise.

Im really unsure how this place has such great reviews. Ive been a few times and was completely underwhelmed. As far as french patisseries go, its not very authentic (I travel to France regularly to visit family - I have a good basis for comparison!). The pastries themselves have not been super fresh each time Ive visited. Not stale mind you... but more like they were made a day or two in advance before being sold. The Savory Crepe that I tried was really not great. I think they slightly sweeten their crepe batter so if youre combining it with some savory flavors things can taste really off. Maybe its fine for the sweet crepes? but for the savory options it was really, really off-putting. The coffee was very good. Ill give them that. I really gave this place a shot since i figured the reviews meant there must have been some secret awesome item i was missing, but I give up searching for it. Not going back.

Not bad, but a little overrated. Crepes are pretty bland for a French place and the bread for the sandwiches is hard.

Always delicious!

If this is The real FRENCH bakery, I am Julia Child.

Bad espresso, subpart croissant, and crowded

The fruit danish that I had tasted like it came from Safeway. The pastry was doughy and not flaky.

Nice bakery.. great place to spend time especially after work hours and for brunch and for evening snacks... Croissants and pastries are good... I love chai tea latte with almond milk.. Its too good here.

My favorite restaurant in CT. Well worth the one hour drive from home. Perfect food both in terms of flavors and in beauty, and the service was impeccable. Manhattan quality food served in a casual farm setting is the best!!

Food is consistently tasty. Love the variety. Great teas and coffee as well. Then of course, the fantastic bakery items! This place keeps me coming back for more!

Reading all the great reviews, I wanted to check out this bakery. I shared a twice baked almond chocolate croissant and a cheese danish. I was expecting a slightly sweet, flaky pastry with nice filling. The dough for both pastries had a bread like texture instead of being buttery and flaky, very disappointed and nothing like true croissants or french pastries. They were also overly sweet, especially the cheese danish filling. The latte I had was good, but the regular coffee and pastries were disappointing. Im not sure where this bakery gets all these great reviews from because I wont be wasting my money here again.

Ate breakfast here because the Starbucks in the Marriott I was in was closed and this was so much better. Apricot strudel was perfectly sweet, the London fog I had wad delicious and the atmosphere was nice. My only complaint was lack of seating is, its pretty limited.

This hotel looks unassuming, but is warm and intimate and offers excellent service! This was my first trip to Seattle and the hotel had all the comforts that made the stay enjoyable, including a full breakfast service every morning. I would definitely stay again and would recommend this location to others also!

Tasty prosciutto and fig sandwich. Macaroons all had their own unique taste, the white ones were coconut flavored

Great bakery

Good selection of breads, croissants and cakes. If you find American bread too sweet definitely try the rustic loaf here! Im also a particularly big fan of the veggie croissant. Coffee is relatively good, but a little burnt for my taste.

Excellent service and tasty fresh food including tasty coffee.

AWFUL service. It was half empty on a Sunday morning and it took half an hour to get 2 simple orders to go. They also messed up both orders and were rude in general. The whole experience was a joke.At least the food was good, but still not worth going back to this location.

Over rated, over priced, and nasty food. $10 for a crepe with nothing but nutella? Absurd! Its an insult for them to name themselves the French bakery. Real French bakeries put tremendous effort into perfecting their pastries and food - this place is nasty. I cant believe it has such good reviews.

I frequent this French Bakery because I live in the building its in and the Starbucks a block away is too far of a walk in my slippies at 7 am. I almost never get food here, but the coffee is pretty good. They put it in ceramic mugs unless you specify its to go, which isnt necessarily a bad thing unless like me youre spoiled to Starbucks to-go unless otherwise specified m.o.

Good coffee and pastries

Love this place! Best macaroons ever! Even their chocolate chip cookies are amazing!

Love the quiches, the Lorraine in particular. Soft and moist and delicious. Ive only had good experiences with the pastries- flakey and light. They are on the sweet side, though I think the almond one might be a little lighter. They have a basic $5 salad thats amazingly cheap for bellevue.

The Baked goods are awesome, the Staff is not. High turnover rate when it comes to the people working. Always mess up orders and have a very bad attitude. Check your bag!

This is unfortunately one of the worse coffee I have in Seattle. Both service and taste are below expectation. Since I come from Arizona the expectation is not high, but how hard is it to remember customers order? Ive almost finished the pastry and the mocha is not yet ready. When I turned around to the counter, I saw a mocha, of course Ill think its my long waiting mocha! (Especially Im ahead of the other customer who made the order.) anyway, the staff said it is not my order (which is okay, because they completely forgot at this point), but how hard is it to make a fresh cup of coffee? The coffee they later made taste like water with sugar and a little bit of coffee flavor. If Im not in this part of town, Ill definitely go back Zoka or other coffee shops.

Good pastries and food, very careless staff. Out of the 3 visits Ive made here, they messed up my order on 2 of them. If youre making to-go orders when theyre somewhat busy, do double check they got all your orders in. In my case, they left out some of my items but still charged me for everything.

This place is vexing; one the one hand, their sweet breads (like chocolate marble and lemon poppy) are tasty, moist and really affordable. Their crepes look great.On the con sice, their loafs of savory bread are too fluffly... they are not crispy, and they sweat the butter they contain shortly after purchased. They don’t have a great variety of savory bread and the ones they have are not great.So come here if you want to have a nice crepe or something on the sweet side. But if you are looking for the best baked bread, keep on looking in my opinion.

Pastries are so fresh and delicious. Love their coffee.

Definitely one of my favorite places to enjoy a cup o vanilla latte. Excellent croissants! Would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat.

Had 2 chocolate croissants at 2 diff. occassions, both times felt days old. If you doubt mind the drive I recommend going to the Crossroad location, feels like they have more fresh croissants than here..3 stars for the effort and the availability in Bellevue tho.

Great food but super rude staff.

FB has a store close to where I live and, where I work, so I know the staff well. Their coffee is tasty and consistent, and their pastries varied and delicious (not tried a bad one yet).Their bread reminds me of baguettes Id tried in Paris when I was younger. Its always nice to grab their freshly baked bread early in the morning, while its still hot.Also, if you go by their store around 4-5ish (at least at the Crossroads location), if they have not sold their bread baked that day, they will start to give them out to people, which is nice.The fact that this place hasnt had a 1 or 2 star review, says a lot about consistency of quality, too.

French Bakery has abundant sélection of yummy and pretty looking pastries. The surrounding ambiance is great.

The crepe is mediocre. The hot grilled panini is miserable and ice cold. One of the servant is really rude. Terrible place.

Mediocre place. People working here are rude and look always unhappy. Coffee always on the warm side even we ask for hot coffee. Location is the only positive part of this place.
