Frances Patisserie is a renowned bakery offering a variety of delicious cakes, including strawberry shortcake, cream puffs, roll cakes, and tiramisu. Their cakes are known for their moderate sweetness, a welcome change from the overly sweet Western desserts in the area. The bakery takes pride in its French technique and Japanese fusion, using high-quality ingredients and techniques. For those seeking a unique experience, Frances Patisserie offers Japanese soufflé cheesecake, made to perfection. The bakery is located in a busy small plaza across from Bristol Farms, with limited and tight parking. Customers praise the delicious and expertly crafted desserts, including the strawberry napoleon cake with flaky layers and bright red strawberries, the matcha chocolate cake, hazelnut tiramisu, and the bear cream puff generously filled with smooth cream. Visitors recommend going early for a wider selection, as popular items tend to sell out towards the end of the day.
