Nice place for coffee and a croissant, plenty of space to eat inside or outside. The almond croissant was so good, would highly recommend. They have a very good ham & cheese croissant too. Would recommend the croissants over the regular baked goods

Charming little bakery in downtown Kirkland, near Moss bay.Got the apricot cream cheese croissant and cinnamon roll. Both was good, not great.

Flawless. This place is so good, a hidden gem some might say! I ended up going twice during my trip, the staff passed the vibe check. The guy in the black hat was so nice, he gave us some amazing recommendations and he even practiced saying my full name in the back before calling it out. The cappuccino he made was a 15/10.

Great place to meet with a friend. It was very busy and hard to find a seat but they have plenty of seating indoor and outdoors. Unfortunately they were out of a few milks in the morning but they were kind and offered what they had. A soy beverage was made with regular milk and they remade it and gave us the extra drink for free which was delicious to me but my friend cannot have dairy. Overall great place and products- I don’t believe my experience today was the norm but I don’t believe in making a fuss over something as small as using the wrong milk. As a former barista, I think this place is great.

Honestly I expected more than average from this placeOverall it was goodBeautiful vibeCroissant was a little dryTiramisu was goodChai was too sweet for meThey are friendly and helpful

Great customer service an excellent coffee. Great selections and good place to start your day.

Love this place, the staff is for lack of better word, wholesome. The pastries and coffee are delicious, and fresh. My kids would live off their crepes and their hot paninis are delicious.

So good! Their croissants, crepes and chai tea is all on point. Literally the best croissants Ive had. Ever. Buttery and flakey, just like they should be.

Good stuff as usual culinary wise, but service wasnt that good this time. Those masks and barriers and Chinese accent all together made it impossible to understand what they were saying while we were placing the order.

Nice toasted croissant stuffed with jalapeno cream cheese. Made for a good breakfast while walking in to the office.Next time, Ill try one of their breakfast sandwiches and maybe sit and try coffee...

This is the worth place ever. The staff really bad. They dont deserve to be in business.

Worth the wait for crepes and cappuccino, inside and outside tables.

Another place that aggressively does not want your business. Especially at your convenience. Checked their website and found a delightful looking cake that my partner would surely love. Saw that I could make an online order, but it states We will reach you within 48 hours to complete the order. Now, I dont really want to be on-call to say yes, I would indeed like a cake. Especially the weekend before Halloween (we have some plans involving mazes. How irritated would I be if they called while I was out in a muddy maze? So I check the stores hours on their site and hours state open until 4pm on Friday. Not great, but Im able to duck out of work a little early and actually arrive at 2:57. Why so specific? When walking toward the building I see the Closed sign. I slowly make my way up because Im a little taken aback. Theres another sign saying Due to workforce bah bah bah we close at 3. For the record thats not a word for word quote. Check my phone and its not quite 3, but a gentleman behind the counter sipping espresso is doing his best not to acknowledge me. Fair enough. A little hurtful, but fair enough. So I cant give my order in person. Next best thing! I call! I dislike talking on phones, but this seems the obvious solution. Ring, ring, ring. Some more ring, ring, ring. I hear the phone. They hear the phone. They ignore the phone. Well, Ill leave a message of my intent to order a cake. Were sorry, the automated inbox for The French Bakery is full. Please try your call again at another time.My option? Try to go in at another time to place the order, fill out the online form and wait up to forty eight hours, or go somewhere else. Surely theres a bakery in the area that wants my business...

Great choice of different kinds of pastries, crepe, cakes, omlets made to order. The espresso drinks are yummy too.

The staff are super sweet and fun. The food is to die for. That fruit tart was so good with the right fruits to complement each other. The sandwich was hot and ready within mins. If youre anywhere in the area this is the place to be!!

Great place to start your day. Reasonable prices. Go before 10am or most of the fresh cakes and pastries might be gone!

Delicious 😋

Great pastries, delicious drinks. Just avoid the horror that they call crepes. Also avoid any of their cooked food. A crouque madame should not have unmelted sliced cheese in it, and the fried egg shouldnt just be tossed on top... Stick with the drinks and pastries and you will be good

Such a welcoming and comfortable ambiance. Their crepes are delicious as well as the coffees they brewed. Highly recommended!

Best thing about this place is the building/location. Pastry selection was disappointing. Egg, ham, cheese croissant ($9) was a big lump of fearless mess.

First-class service and quality of food. I have ordered my daughters birthday cake in the past. Very tasty and everyone enjoyed. It was very good experience. Always ready per schedule. Approved!

Decent breakfast sandwiches, drinks, and pastry items. However, youll likely need to wait around awhile for a place to sit. I cant go 5-stars for a couple reasons: 1) prices are steep, and 2) the indignant behaviour of an employee towards those who didnt meet her facemask standard. She actually berated a couple different customers during my short visit. At this point, with the majority of folks having had at least one vaccine, theres really no need for that attitude. You can always catch more bees with honey than with vinegar.

This place is just so consistently good, whether its location (in Kirkland), or one of their other storefronts. Almond croissants & other classics are 🔥, espresso drinks are good, and all of their fresh fruit creations are delicious.

The place was pretty packed on this sunny Saturday morning, and some of the staff were clearly new-ish, but the process worked, everyone was able to order and receive their food and drinks. The food was tasty and portions generous, the staff friendly and helpful.

A great spot for breakfast. The women working behind the counter were very nice. Definitely would recommend this place as a must for baked goods. Everything I tried was impeccable.

Love this place. Nice coffee and food

So far have been here 3 times! Great taste with wide choice!

Go to place for coffee and pastries. The Quiche Lorraine is a favorite.

They have the most delicious pastries I have ever had. The pastries are fluffy, moist and not too sweet. I have made this my go to place for Danish type pastries.

Very mean people. We went there with medical exemptions for physical problems and they didn’t serve us and treat us badly. I’m very disappointed and frustrated, especially because as a client I want to be treat with respect. Never go here again.

Cozy little place with a chill atmosphere

Food, coffee and dessert are generally great. This site got pretty chaotic after the expansion with cranky overwhelmed staff and lack of structure or order. Some orders like crepes take 20 mins sometimes. More staffing needed badly!

Nice outdoor and indoor sitting areas. Lovely baked goods, nice place for a slice of cake and tea in the afternoon.

This French Bakery location is very bustling in the morning on a Saturday, a local meeting placing for the mature, Kirkland crowd. Croissants are fluffy and crusty, pretty good standard. Pastries not super sweet which is perfect. Coffee and latte are alright. About ten tables so not too large either. Nice urban residential feel. (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧

Took incredible long to make and never told me the food was ready so it was sitting on a counter getting cold. Made eye contact with employees multiple times and they said nothing while i sat for over a half and hour. They also did not heat up a sandwich I asked them too.

Not too bad. I wish the store had the same menu as the one in Crossroads, Bellevue

Excellent almond croissants, fruit tarts, and many other choices.

Nice coffee n pastry. Large space for dining inside or outside

Coffee and croissants are delicious. The fruit filled cream cheese ones are just ok but the almond one are excellent. Also tried a cuban panini and that was great. The turkey crape has great flavors but a little too brown on the outside. Overall things was delicious!

Its the FRENCH bakery. Nuff said. This place is amazing

Amazing espresso macchiato. Great crepes and sandwiches.

Excellent service. I love to come here.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the French Bakery! Best pastries around and I love eating their sandwiches for lunch.

Its only open for takeouts right now but I had a delicious, hot croque monsieur here together with a great cup of coffee. First class!

Great pastries, sandwiches and coffee!

Usually delicious. On my last visit, the air was filled with smoke from burning in the kitchen. Then when they warmed up 2 croissants for my kids, these croissants were also burned.

Good food, but not as much variety as would be expected from a French Cafe. Still a neat little restaurant though. Definitely try the desserts.

Visited during COVID, enjoyed the French themed food and coffee outside in the cool crisp morning. A great way to start the day!

Great coffee and amazing crepes!!!

I love the sandwiches from here. The croque madame is super delicious. 🙂

My favorite spot. I can’t get enough of the guava turnover and turkey croissant

We had the ham and cheese croissant and it was really yummy.

Awesome pastries ! Must try

Excellent baguettes, the only good French baguette I have found anywhere near Kirkland.

Fantastic almond croissant and croq madam panini.

Good food and friendly

Really good place

Great coffee, strawberry cake and a pesto tomato croissant. 😃

Delicious pastries. It is even hard to decide which one you should eat.

I came to this place from time to time in the last 10+ yrs. Obviously, the portion size is getting bigger (so as it food menu !!) while quality went really downhill after it became a chain of 4 instead of 2 shops!Classic FRENCH croissant is stale (Sundays morning batch during this long weekend?!) The bakery vibe feels much less french than the past, so sad. Fortunately, baguette is still better than any store bought ones from nearby grocery stores. Mind you, the gap is getting smaller IMO.I think it is the time for this place to change its name.

Delicious baguettes, eclairs and other bakery products, simple, cosy place. I like it.

Best French bakery in town!

Delicious spinach and goats cheese crepe, large portion, good selection of pastries. Wouldnt describe it as particularly French other than having crepes. Nice outside seating. No customer wifi which is frustrating, especially when dining alone.

Staff were very friendly, cafe was clean and attractive, and everything looked lovely. Sadly, the coffee was just ok and the goat cheese and spinach crepe with honey I ate was not good. The amount of spinach was overwhelmingly bitter that didnt work well with the goat cheese and there was not enough honey to cut through the bitter notes.

Charming and great food. I had a delicious homemade tomato soup. Perfect for a chilly day. The desserts looked fabulous, but I didnt have any. The quiche is also delicious.

Good coffee and good cinnamon rolls. Friendly service too. Good desserts.

Fabulous pastries and good selection of hot drinks. Sandwiches, soups and salads. Friendly service, small place but feels cozy.

Good tea & desserts & nice staff, but shop sadly lacks any French or even a cafe feel/atmosphere. I wish theyd dress it up. They do have outdoor seating, which is nice during the summer.

The atmosphere is very welcoming Staff is very friendly and attentive. Do try the salmon quiche and London fog tea. Phenomenal. Would come again and again.

Love pretty much everything they have

Chased me down cause I forgot a coffee like half a block my co workers would of been sad they saved the day

Every time I visit my daughter in Seattle, we come here for chocolate croissants. They are to die for. I also get the excellent mocha. The French bakery also offers many other baked goods and most types of coffees. It is a small shop with some indoor seating and some outdoor seating. You have to park on the street as there is no parking lot here. But the street parking is mostly free for the short visit you will have at the French bakery.

Small place i order coffee with cake, they forget the coffee and ask me to stay in line again if i can give less than a star i will definitely do

The French Bakery was nice but not great. I had gotten a Black Forest ham and jalapeno crepe and a 16 oz drip. The crepe batter was a bit heavy and the crepe its self came out a bit greasy. Over all it was good but I think Ill try something else next time.I also had an Almond pastry and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely come back for the pastries.

This is one of the smaller French Bakery locations, compared to say Redmond Town Center or Crossroads Mall. I like their daily menu, typically some kind of hot meal. Their bread, baked goods tend to sell fast. Go there later in the day and you will find only refrigerated cake slices, etc. Pastries are very tasty, most recognized for their twice baked almond croissants.

Great bakery with some interesting products. A few challenges with serving personnel are here, though. Price / quality ratio is Ok.

Great authentic French pastries!

Got a delicious spinach and feta scramble and avocado prsto egg croissant. Coffee was good too. If you crave a good brunch in an authentic bakery, I highly recommend this french bakery.

Delightful pastries and sandwiches

We love the French bakery and go there regularly, but lately weve noticed a sharp decline in food quality and service. Bummer because this one is a great location and close to home...

Good food.

My all time favorite neighborhood bakery where I’ve gone for a really nice start to every day and for lunch on a regular basis for years. Friendly, hard working people with a boss who treats them well and works diligently alongside them to keep her customers happy. Everything they serve is a treat. It’s a pleasure to be their customer.

Just FYI, this location is still closed for construction as of Oct 2020. Hoping it opens soon!

Love the cakes

I want to try at least one if everything they make! It all looks so delicious!I got the tomato pesto croissant and the gruyere croissant the first time around and they were heavenly!

The croissants here are amazing the plain and apple flavors especially. The staff are very nice and the building has lots of seating.

Simply delicious... like a step back in time when bakers were bakers.

Good coffee and lattes but just ok pastries and breakfast. More of a chain type feel.

I had a great ham and cheese omelette with French bread, coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice. I would return.

Nothing French about this place at all. The place is too small and disorganized and the food is bland and tasteless. Woman at the register was not very friendly and didnt give any direction as to how our food would be served. You have to order your food and then snag a table in the overcrowded dining area, but listen for them to call your order over at the counter. (Either that or stand by the counter and wait (a long time) but be prepared to constantly move out of the way as the staff and other customers try to get by. If youre standing at the counter waiting then you are basically standing within 1 foot of someones table). Our 2 dishes were served separately with too much time in between. By the time my wifes order came out, mine was cold. And the way they serve your order is a woman appears from the back, puts a plate on the counter next to the register and walks away. You already paid so they could care less if you actually noticed your food was sitting at the counter. Dining area was messy, place was overcrowded and the food was very bland. Would not recommend.

Terrible! Not worth the wait. Orange juice sour. Croissants far below average. Waited over 20 minutes for a latte.Food and pastry offerings are hardly unique and “French”. Below average coffee shop.

Loved the fresh strawberry crepe here for a midday snack! Lots of strawberries and big enough to share.

Everyone here is super friendly and the pastries are to die for, what isnt is the wait. They only have 3 people working at this location on the weekends which means extremely long wait times. Just add a 4th person and everything gets improved. I hope management looks at these reviews. I just saw 3 different groups leave to go to the juice bar next door because of the line.

I had a lox crepe, chai latte, and chocolate croissant while visiting, and they were all DELICIOUS. Plus, friendly staff, great location, and good people-watching from the window. Not cheap but not expensive, either. Great place!

Had a $3.25 chocolate and almond croissant in this nice neighborhood cafe, which was quite large and very delicious (well toasted pastry and a good combination of chocolate and sugary almond filling). Seems like a popular place - someone else bought two dozen pastries while I was there.

Used to be great place when owned by the original owner, but since ownership changed - so did both the service and the quality of food.There are a few other places around now that make French baked goods as well or better... although these folks used to be the best at one time.

Delicious pastries. The marion-berry cream cheese filled croissant is my current seasonal favorite!

First time there and wanted a fancy dining experience -- we got it. Nice place, attentive staff, interesting and excellent food choices that we really enjoyed. It was a very nice experience.

Everyone here is Always nice to my family and I when we come in. I love the lattes and mochas they make; its so much nicer tasting than other brews around town where everything is so so dark and bitter. This coffee is nice, toasted, but smooth. I dont know what it is but a latte plus a slice of their pear almond tart is Amazing!!

Great see or savory choices. Delicious coffee and oatmilk is available. The staff are the best!
