About The French Bakery

The French Bakery is a reliable and convenient spot for quick pick-me-ups, offering good value for its prices compared to other places in downtown Redmond. The pastries are really good, and the prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and warm, creating a welcoming environment. The seating area is spacious, with both indoor tables and outdoor options, making it suitable for casual coffee and pastry breaks. Popular items include the Coffee Swiss, Fresh Fruit Tart, and the well-liked croque madame. The bakery regularly revises its pastries and introduces new seasonal options.

While the atmosphere is generally nice and clean, weekends can get busy and noisy, particularly with only two registers, but it calms down after around 1 pm. Some dishes, like the croque madame, are well-liked, but there have been concerns about the quality of some pastries, such as the mango cream cake, which may not meet expectations. Customers have noted issues like dried-out cream and wait times for to-go orders, along with lukewarm drinks. The bakery is kid-friendly and located near a kids' swimming center, with staff showing kindness toward children. Although there are limited vegetarian options, all cakes and sweet croissants are vegetarian, but there are no vegan choices. The outdoor seating is a pleasant addition, especially on sunny days, though tables can be close together inside.
