It was delicious. Everything tasted well balanced and there were good proportions. If you haven't been yet, you better go. Rumor has it, the building is sold and the restaurant is closing in Jan 26.

It’s the best place to get your morning pastry’s and coffee. The place is so cute, it feels like stepping into a French cafe. Taking a bite out of the buttery, flaky croissant. Everything was just so delicious and well made!
Great selection of desserts . Picked up a delicious Melenium cake for a birthday. Everyone loved it. It was rich and very moist. Also had a very tasty Napoleon made with creamy custard.

I had such a wonderful experience tonight at the French Bakery! Miguel provided absolutely the best customer service , he was kind, patient, and went above and beyond with his great manner. It’s rare to see someone so genuinely friendly and attentive. The pastries were delicious, and Miguel made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by — ask for Miguel if you can!

The French Gourmet Catering side of their business recently provided bartending service at our wedding. The bartenders that were there on the day of were great, kind to our guests and kept the drinks flowing. Our main issue was with our event coordinator at The French Gourmet. He was slow to respond via email, not willing to work with us when we had specific liquor/beer/wine/specialty cocktail preferences, and overall not very pleasant to work with. We felt like we were inconveniencing him with our business most of the time. Even our wedding planner had a tough time getting a hold of him.
I know the physical location is set to close at the end of this year, but if their catering business continues, I would not recommend booking their bartending services for your event.

Came by to buy some pastries to eat by the water. Interior was cleaner than last time, bright, and well organized. Every pastry was labeled with a name and price. They even mentioned the different sizing (intentional). Staff was informative about what they didn’t have that day.
Ordered 8 canelés, packaged beautifully. It was a bit dark aka burnt, but interior was fluffy and moist. Almost custardy. Would enjoy more with more depth of flavors like vanilla or rum.
The chocolate croissant was the hidden star. I find some places don’t do it well, but The French Gourmet does! The dark chocolate was rich and decadent, with another flavor of something that paired beautifully with the buttery & flaky croissant. It wasn’t dry at all!
Pain Aux Raisins, mini, was nicely rolled with ample amount of dark raisins. There was a glaze of honey or apricot on top, that added a subtle shine to the pastry.
In addition, we ordered the Twice Baked Almond Chocolate Croissant. This combination was superb. There was a good amount of frangipane and it was fragrant. It was overall a little more dry than the other croissants, since it was twice baked. But it paired really well with coffee!
Overall, we spend around $25 maybe. That’s def better than many places where a croissant would be $10! We enjoyed the pastries here and would def come back.

There was only one server so service was slow. The testaurant week menu online was different from in the restaurant. It didn't indicate restaurant week had a choice between appetizer or a dessert it made it appear like we'd get both. There were flies all over the restaurant. Waiter was too busy to check on us because they were understaffed. Mussels were served with fries which was weird
Megan
Food was cold and unevenly cooked, making some of the food inedible. bread and dessert were burnt.
Ted
Consistently great food and service. The ambience is nice and the noise level is not bad at all. We went for restaurant week and enjoyed 3 courses and let very full of great gourmet food!
Just went for lunch during restaurant week. Unfortunately, it was busy and they were definitely understaffed. It took us an hour and a half to receive an entree and desert. Would not go back again due to the excessive time commitment, even though the food was very good.

We used French Gourmet for our wedding catering at Birch Aquarium. The food was SO DELICIOUS, we received compliments from everyone. The service came out quickly and on time during our reception. We also purchased a cake from them that everybody loved (carrot cake) and was beautifully frosted. I would highly recommend them for catering. Thank you!

We have visited the French Gourmet over the years and wanted to support them before they retire. Parking as always is a challenge so make sure you get there a little early. The wait staff is very friendly. We ordered the Salmon and steak which were both very good. Dessert as always was the highlight.

Looked for a bakery working toll late to get a few pieces of cake after a long working day, and they said they are till 9pm. When I made it to their place at 8pm, they closed the door and told they have the bakery closed for today. I was a big disappointment and, of course, I will never come back or recommend it to anybody.

I’ve been going to FG for many years. I got a bacon, ham quiche today that was inedible. It’s not the quiche I remember. This was overfilled with bacon, ham, and super greasy. It also tasted like it was a few days old. I would’ve returned to show manager but had other obligations to attend to. The staff were really awesome when we ordered this for Togo. I wanted to email directly, but website doesn’t have that option.
