**MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL NEGATIVE REVIEWS, THEY ARE ALL ACCURATE!!**I have been ordering cakes from here for years. I have recommended people come here and always even stop in for an occasional cupcake or pastry. BUT I have to say I ordered a Barbie birthday cake and was highly unimpressed. The cake was overly sweet. I specifically asked for something that was not to sweet. There was literally nothing special about this cake. I could have gotten the same cake from Albertsons and it would have cost me a fraction of the price. When I called to talk to someone about the cake (the supposed manager) she proceeded to tell me I was wrong and that whatever vision I had for the cake was unattainable. She was very unprofessional and did not offer up even as small as an apology. I would not go back to this bakery again. So disappointed!!

Everything about this place is amazing! I got my moms 60th birthday cake here and it was AMAZING!! they did exactly what I asked for, the cake was moist, the filling was delicious and the frosting was not overly sweet! The place smells amazing when you walk in and everyone greets you right way with a smile. All the ladies were super nice and accommodating and made the whole process really amazing. I'm definitely coming back for all my cake needs!

The only bakery around that has angel food as a cake flavor option (the birthday boy's favorite). Unfortunately largest angel food cake you can order is 8". We were planning for about 40-50 people so had to order another cake as well but decided to do an ice cream cake for variety and that worked out well. We went with whipped cream frosting and fresh strawberry filling. It was tasty! Originally wanted them to decorate for me but I was quoted almost double the price to do a Hawaiian themed motif which was surprising. Granted they don't have a book of sample cakes with ideas for different occasions or themes to choose from and I didn't have any pictures to show them what I had in mind so maybe the quote was on the high end and if I had shown them a simple design it would have been less. I didn't have time to find out so just ordered it plain white with coconut flakes on the side. I added decorations myself afterwards. It turned out beautiful!

Not coming back here. So disappointed. The strudel and chocolate croissant i bought were not flaky and tasted old -and they feel more like bread than pastries. They are not cheap so that makes it 2x disappointing???

I work right around the corner and never knew that we had a little bakery in the plaza until my coworker told me about it (kinda wishing she never introduced me because I'll be here a little too often). They serve an assortment of desserts from mini size to full size. I got their mini lemon raspberry cupcakes and half a dozen of chocolate chip cookies. Everything was freshly made and tasty!

Such rude staff. It's like they are trying to be as unhelpful and dismissive as possible. They actually trash talked me and heckled me out of the store. Never going there again

Update to my original 1 star rating.The new owners and staff are absolutely fantastic!! You are greeted when you walk in the door. Excellent choices of cupcakes I buy cupcakes every 2 weeks before I get my nails done. The bakery even has doggie treats for sale.

Stopped here to pick up some little trays for my sisters birthday! Love this little bakery. They have everything from small bites to large cakes even some homemade bread. I ordered 6 small fruit tarts and a mini cake to bring with me to brunch. The cake tasted great and the design is very minimal. Which I loved. Service was great and they got everyone in and out of there pretty quick. No need to place order before. The building is pretty clean and they offer white boxes to take away your treats in. I can't wait to go back. I wanna try more items.

This was my 3rd time getting a custom cake from French’s. The service and cake is always perfect. They always come through, even when I order at the last minute. Highly recommended!
