The French Bakery Crossroads Bellevue

Got a fresh fruit cream cheese tart with strawberries for my first time try. The filling was pretty good, but the croissant itself was very dry; like perhaps it wasn't made fresh. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't find myself spending money here again.

EDIT: After the owner's kind response I decided to give this bakery another try. This time I got a mango cream croissant and it was so delicious and clearly fresh. I also got a double shot breve latte with caramel and I am very picky on my lattes but it was so good! The barista even did some lovely latte art as well.

Not a bad place for quick and yummy food. But I feel not paying tip means rude service. I bought a $6.8 croissant to go and didn’t feel I need to tip, then the cashier showed a rigid face and just wait for me to grab the bag which is a bit hard to reach as it was on her side.

I got up early to visit the bakery for a warm, flaky, rich croissant like those eaten in Paris by the characters in my book last night.
I was disappointed.
My croissant was cold, hard, with little taste.

Wonderful pastry/bread/sandwich shop in Crossroads Mall. The baguettes taste and "feel" right. Just as good as ones I've bought in France. The pastries always have bright, intense flavors. A treasure!

The drinks are not too sweet like many other cafés make them. The flavor of the coffee always shines through!

🍰🍵 The French Bakery has so many cakes, pastries, and beverages to choose from!!

Their staff is very helpful, kind, and friendly. 👍🏼

I enjoyed their Matcha latté and a sandwich with a side of salad.

My friend had a ham and cheese croissant with their Chai Tea latté.

The line wasn’t long when we came for brunch. Our hot lattés were prepared promptly and our food was served in about 15-20 minutes from the time we ordered.

There’s a lot of parking around Crossroads Mall, so parking won’t be an issue.

Next time I’ll try a couple of their French pastries 🍮🎂☕️

This is one of the popular bakeries at Crossroads in Bellevue. There's a wide variety of delicious pastries and good-quality coffee. We came during lunchtime, and the place was packed. I wish there was more space inside—it's a bit small for the demand.

Really like the pastries here and the coffee, but I saw the owner speaking very harshly to the staff that they need to basically work harder. Everyone was clearly busting their butts, but that wasn't enough for the exploitative owner? How much are you paying them to make you all that money? Maybe show them a bit more respect and praise while they make you all that money.

Cold food and coffee.
No taste.

Staff are nice and I’m sure the folks there are amazing. However, at the end of the day, reviewing a restaurant comes down to the food quality, and the croissants taste terrible. You can get better croissants from Trader Joe’s. And for $3, it’s a ripoff.

Most definitely not French, and not good at all. Croissant was worse than Costco’s

We ordered the crepes with strawberry and Nutella. What a mess!!! The entire dish was overflowing with some sort of liquid oozing from the sour strawberry. Skip this place. Can’t believe they ruined a French delicacy.
