Cranky salesman, annoyed that I asked if they sell Profiteroles or Paris Brest pastries, continued to berate me that he's "not in the mood, and how he had a long day.."Their prices went up too.

I do have to say their drinks are small for the price of a large. Idk . But their pastiees are delicious, I think I had a chia croissants was very good. Expensive place for a quick bite but overall the owner and atmosphere are welcoming and friendly. And it has a nice clean french feel to it.

The service was wonderful and the pastries were amazing. I even made a trip back to get something else before I left Pasadena. The pain raisin was so delicious, and the canele was a revelation.

I was recommended by a friend who frequent this bakery a few times a month. I told him what I missed from my trips to France was the amazing croissants . I have tried various bakeries and most if not all left me with something more to desire. Well Frenchifornia smells like heaven when I walked in. I saw the texture of the flakes on the croissants and knew I would want try them. I got the plain and chocolate. The the crisp and flakiness crumbled as I took a bite. It had the perfect buttery taste. That bite took me back to memory lane of the time I sat outside the cafe enjoying my cappuccino and a flaky & buttery croissant in France. Will be coming back to try the Cinnamon Roll which I heard was to die for!!

Extremely rude cashier kept repeating he was closing in 4 minutes. It’s not your California friendly bakery. Do yourself a favor, go to Berry Opera and support nice people.

Headed here last minute to pick up some Birthday treats for grandpa for breakfast. Grateful they opened at 7:30 am for us early risers. V picked out the ham and cheese croissant, chocolate croissant and raspberry tart for the two of them. I read a fellow Yelpers review about the best macarons she had ever eaten and I figured why not. She's a hard grader so we ordered Earl Grey, Chocolate, Vanilla, Pistachio and.... Only tried the Earl Grey and I'll have to second-it's pretty damn good. Texture is spot on.The guy behind the counter was inviting and friendly. It's not doing Dine In but not the nicest part of Colorado or even a large enough space for it.Glad we went. Will be back.
Overall I think this spot is good but nothing to rave about or make a trip specifically to. I was in the area and noticed I was close enough to walk by for lunch so I wanted to try it.There seems to be one cashier and one chef in the back. I only saw the cashier but she was super sweet and ran around handling orders as fast as she could.I ordered a ham & cheese baguette, croissant, and iced vanilla latte that came to $20 even.The croissant was okay. A bit over-baked as it was dried out and a little deflated but the flavor wasn't bad. The coffee was super watery, and had no vanilla flavor at all.The baguette was my favorite, although again nothing crazy. The bread is a bit dense and soft but the ends were crunchy. It's simple just like they make in France - ham, cheese, butter, bread. That's it. It's a good size and they fill the baguette so you definitely have a good size sandwich that tastes good.

I love their pastries. This time I got a QUICHE, the lady didn't mention anything about the price of a box.She put the quiche in the box and put it in the paper bag. When I got home I checked the receipt - I was charged for the box for $.48 and the paper bag for $.98. It's $1.5 adding to my bill without saying anything. I understand you need to charge for it but at least say something about it please...

Bookmarked this bakery since I read about them and did not disappoint! :)It's a small shop but soooo much selection of pastries and desserts. Everything looked beautiful. I tried a butter croissant and a macaron. Texture of both were great. Takes me back to France.Staff was very nice and friendly.

I like that this bakery opens very early at 7:30, because it's rare to buy a wide variety of French pastry so early in Pasadena. And the taste is very good. My favorite is canele. When you get there don't miss it and come early. They sold out fast.

Poor quality, Found a hair in my quiche! And the owners are racist big time! I clearly do not recommend
