It’s a lovely spot that presents itself as a quaint, artisanal market/coffee shop. Yet, I agree with a previous review that Kraft singles aren’t what you expect for a $13 “French” egg, ham, and cheese croissant. My sandwich had light molding on the cheese and a stray hair inside. Overall, I’m disappointed and recommend sticking to coffee.

Unfortunately the American yellow processed cheese did not seem very Parisian and Negated the whole croissant.

Great coffee and bakery. But! You guys need to think about the environment!!! You produce an incredible amount of garbage. I stopped by to get coffee and some cake, sat and enjoyed it. Why do I need a whole box and a paper bag for the cake? Okay. I admit that you thought I would take it with me, and that's why you packed it like that, but no, you pack everything. I drank my coffee, ate my cake, and went to the trash can to throw out the packaging filled with this packaging. Why do you produce such an amount of garbage? Could you give me a plate, and that will be enough? Ultimately, all this packaging is included in my coffee and cake cost. But why pay for it if it will all be in the trash can in a minute? Everything you do is five stars, but I am depriving you of one for this garbage conveyor. Please change your approach and your attitude to the environment🙏🏻

Overrated, aesthetically yes it's a beautiful place. But their coffee is so mid, always getting my order wrong. The staff is never friendly and the wait time is unnecessary for pastries...
Sad that this place has so little idea of how to run a business. Sunday 9:15 am and they have no idea what they are doing. $10 for an egg and ham sandwich on croissant which had almost zero ham and had to be remade for a third time because they got it wrong twice. The apology was insincere and sad as though they don’t really car. Their kitchen is also block away, Not even in their building. How is this even legal? Will never be back and will advise others not to try.

The entire place was cozy and clean and the food was undecided and hard to choose all the staff was friendly and helpful but needs to keep track

Ordered a ice coffee to go..online.. thinking it'd be ready for me which was the point of me ordering it to go? Online? $6 later I get handed a cup to go self serve my iced coffee? Wasting more of my time. I would've just gone to Starbucks? Or anywhere else. The cold brew was watered down. The ice bucket next to it empty. The milk in some weird cooler bottles?seriously like what a joke. The aesthetic is there but time after time I give this place hope it continues to just disappoint. Don't waste your time literally and money.
Cute spot, but my iced coffee tastes burnt (maybe Starbucks ppl like that)

I love independently owned coffee shops and quaint cafes. Half for the ambiance, half for the food. They have the ambiance. The food:
I ordered an egg and cheese croissant and a cup of coffee. It was before 8am, not busy at all.
I was brought a cold croissant roughly cut open with unmelted Kraft cheese on an egg. Fine, I was hungry, gobbled it down. The coffee, which is self serve, nearly made me vomit. The milk had gone rancid and since I had the sniffles I couldn’t smell it until I tasted it. It was SO BAD. I told the guy behind the counter, he smelled the cup, and was “oh yeah, this is definitely bad!” And his solution was to: pour out the cardboard cup and hand it back to me. They wouldn’t even give me a fresh cup. I asked to speak to the manager (this was a $15 snack) and a girl identified herself as a manager. I asked to be refunded the coffee since all their milk was bad. Suddenly she became “not the manager but I’ll ask her when she comes in”.
I just….how do you fail at coffee? Please find a different profession. I regret tipping anything.

I love the food at The French Market, but 9 times out of 10, when I or anyone in my family goes here, our order is wrong. Several times, we've gotten sandwiches and salads to go, only to get home and realize we've received the wrong item. Just yesterday, we ordered a quiche, a breakfast sandwich, and 2 croissants, but when we got to the car and checked the bag, the croissants were missing. And when my husband went back in, the staff did not even apologize. It's a shame because it's such a cute place with such delicious food, but the fact that the orders are nearly always wrong deters me from going.

Cute little place with some outside tables and a replica inside French café seating.
Food authentic and delicious.
It's a little pricey but only quality food is served here. It is definitely less expensive than a trip to France 🇫🇷 just to enjoy breakfast or lunch.
I recommend that you try it .

A Hidden Gem for Coffee Lovers and Brunch Enthusiasts!
Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down for a slow brunch, this place nails it on all fronts. I ordered a flat white—which can be hit or miss at most spots—and it was spot on. Smooth, velvety microfoam, expertly pulled espresso, and just the right balance between strength and creaminess.
The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to enjoy being there, which adds to the relaxed and welcoming vibe.
Highly recommended—you’ll want to come back again and again.
