About The French Workshop

The French Workshop offers a terrific selection of vegetarian and dietary options in a beautiful, kid-friendly setting. The bakery features a large space that is perfect for hanging out with friends, and it is open somewhat late. Customers can enjoy a wide variety of pastries, including the famous macarons and delicious cakes, as well as sandwiches. The interior looks huge and is kept very clean, although tables are often filled, making it a bit difficult to dine in. The location is at a busy plaza, so parking can sometimes be hard to find. While the coffee may not be the best, the bakery continues to expand its menu with new and tasty items, making it a popular spot for enjoying fresh pastries like the pistachio gateau. The staff is friendly, and service is fast, contributing to a pleasant experience despite the busy atmosphere. Customers have noted the impeccable service, with attentive employees who ensure a great experience. With options like cheese bread, gluten-free selections, and delightful drinks like chai with a dash of cinnamon, The French Workshop has become a favorite spot for many. The bright, clean environment and ample parking make it an inviting place to enjoy tasty treats.

The bayside location is run by a very toxic manager named Kat. She is going to get this company sued for her behavior. She threatened me numerous times through the eight months I worked there. She uses fear mongering to “manage” employees. She has talked down to almost all my coworkers. There has been many times we did not receive breaks and work past our time with no gratitude shown.

Staff is very friendly, love the coffee!
