Crepe
Richard C.

I came here today. I was craving something sweet. I'm not a big sweet person like that, but I came here today and I got a crêpe with strawberries and bananas cause that was what I was craving, and it was really good. I got it with a side of sparkling apple juice, which was very delicious. I enjoyed it so much. The service was really good and I'm very glad that the girl I took my order accommodated with my request of having strawberries and bananas with the crêpe that I wanted, which is very good. I will come back again.

The French bakery has one of the best bread and coffees in the Redmond Town center. It has ample Seating available both indoors and outside plus large shopping mall parking. Service staffs are friendly and knowledgeable about their pastures. Ambience is anywhere from casual to family friendly atmosphere. Is you're in the area, hope you swing by to enjoy some pastures and beverages. Bon appetite!

The smell when you enter this place is just delicious. The array of pastries and cakes is mouth watering. We purchased twice baked almond croissant and raspberry chocolate cake to go. The flavor of the raspberry really came through and it was so decadent. The croissant was so buttery, flavorful and yummy. We will be back to try their other goods even if it's a forty five minute drive.

Cappuccino

Love the jalapeño cream cheese Croissant here. Probably the best in the area! I love the vibe of this place. It's usually pretty busy in the morning so I prefer staying outside. The croissant here is so crispy yet super soft! I tried the tiramisu here as well and I totally enjoyed it. Overall a great cafe for coffee and a good breakfast. This French inspired bakery doesn't disappoint you at all and is totally worth a try

Croque madame
Ron R.

Ordered at counter. Server was polite and friendly. Nice clean atmosphere inside with tables outside. I ordered the croque madame 4/5. The pastries looked good, but I did not try any on this visit.

Cappuccino Viennesse, Passion Fruit Tropical Ice Tea, Spinach and Feta Croissant, Cafe Latte Mocha, Mango Cake
Vanessa L.

For a $34 lunch stop for 3 people, this was pretty good. Stopped by as a part of Mother's Day brunch and enjoyed our bakery goodies and drinks. For food: ordered the Spinach and Feta Croissant, a slice of mango cake, and a bear claw. All thoroughly enjoyed each of our treats. Just wish there was an option to warm them up. For drinks: ordered the Cafe Latte Mocha, Passionfruit Tropical Ice Tea, and Cappuccino Viennesse. Viennesse was dark and subtly sweet, Ice Tea was refreshing, and Mocha was sweet. Service was a bit slow as there were only two people taking orders/working the register. The place was pretty packed, but there was enough outside seating around the mall area and right outside the restaurant to accomodate Overall, would love to come back. Was a good treat to start the day.

Pistachio éclair.
Claudia C.

Overall not a great bakery. I've been here a couple times and I've always been pretty disappointed with their goods. For this visit it wasn't to busy, but I know during lunch on the weekends there can be a line out the door. We were craving some pastries so we decided to pick up a chocolate croissant, a coconut rose cake, and pistachio éclair. Each of the pastries were pretty bad, all tasted slightly plasticly and stale while lacking that exceptional pastry quality. The éclair and croissant were the best out of the three, but the cake was so terrible we threw half of it away. The prices were also ridiculous, $7 for a terrible tiny little cake? We also decided to order 2 sandwich's which were actually both decent, but nothing crazy. The service for this visit was pretty good, but the workers seem pretty annoyed. They have limited seating thats always taken, and the tables look like they've never been cleaned. I'm only giving this place 3 stars because there was nothing wrong with our visit. But overall I'd definitely recommend skipping and spending your money at a better bakery in the area.

Chocolate croissants and bear claw.
Nancy C.

Came here to pick up freshly baked goods to go. This location is inside the town center. Being from out of state and visiting our granddaughters, I do remember coming here one summer when the girls played in the water jet area, never knowing there is a French Bakery there. When in town, we normally go to The French Bakery in Kirkland, but was sad to recently know they are now closed/out of business. :( Anyhow, hubby and I adore going into any bakery smelling fresh pastries. It's so comforting. We ordered ham and cheese croissants, chocolate croissants and a bear claw. Took them home to share with family and ate these with our hot morning beverage. All was so delicious. I wish the ham and cheese croissants though was a little skimpy; could've used more meat and cheese. When in Washington state, The French Bakery is our go to for fresh pastries!

Guava & Cheese Pastry
Jacques I.

Not too shabby. I visit The French Bakery at Redmond Town Center with my boxing buddies after our session, as this is one of the few coffee shops walking distance to us. Not exactly French, but it's more like French-inspired. So expect croissants, cakes, crepes and coffee here. I like to try something new every time I'm here, as they feature a lot of different baked goods. It's definitely not for those who are watching their carb count. In my most recent visit, I tried the guava and cheese pastry, which was solid. I love guava, so nice to know they have this flavor here. Coffee is fine. It's on the pricier side, especially compared to another coffee spot we sometimes go to after boxing. Staff is always friendly and welcoming when we visit. Just note that this bakery gets busy, especially on Sunday mornings. For our large group, we're always lucky to snag seats and tables around 9am, but soon after we arrive, people are in search for seating. However, there is outdoor seating. The French Bakery isn't a bad option if you want a pastry and are at the Redmond Town Center.

Croque madame panini
Huong L.

To be honest, I'm definitely not a fan. This is probably a high 2 star but I'm rounding up just because :) A group of us came here after a spin class and wanted to grab something to eat. We originally wanted to go to the pancake house but it was a 1 hour wait so we opted for here instead. It's also busy but we still got our food in a reasonable amount of time. We got the croque madame panini and a veggie quiche (~$19). The panini came with a side salad and was pretty much like a egg, ham and cheese sandwich, not an actual croque madame I was thinking of, so a little disappointed in that but it was standard. The quiche, however, was bad. They warmed it up for us cause we dine in and they literally just microwave it because it came back with very soft, rubbery crust. It was not good. The flavor was also off. Overall, its not something I would come back to but it was good to try

Black Forest cake custom made for birthday (name crossed out for privacy)
Rafi M.

I ordered a birthday cake from here for my son's birthday. The staff were super helpful with guiding me through my options and being upfront with the prices, which I thought were super reasonable. The sales associate placed my order and provided both a paper and an electronic copy of the order. I liked that I had the option to pick up the cake at the Redmond location or other locations in the area. Pick up was a breeze, and I was allowed to look at the cake before the box was sealed. My son loved the Black Forest cake. It was the perfect balance of cherry and chocolate. It was eaten in 3 days. Son raved how moist and rich it was. We'll definitely order from here again. They sell cakes by the slice, so I'll be back here to pick up a slice from time to time for him as a treat. The only downside is the place has no gluten free options.

Espresso
Chara C.

We ordered an espresso, a latte, a guava cream cheese? pastry, and a ham and provolone croissant. Pastries were spot on and pretty well priced compared to some other spots (around 3.50 per, whereas other places like bakery nouveau get to about 6 bucks per). Espresso was meh, not my favorite. But latte was good.

Grilled Cheese

Came here on a quiet Sunday afternoon and took our food to go. When we got home my fiancé was disappointed in how small and thin his grilled cheese was especially being $14. The staff was nice. We also got some bakery items that were pretty good but we won't be coming back for the food.

We got a black forest cake for a birthday. The cake was great. The cherry jam was slightly extra, but overall the cake was really good.

It came with excellently…read moreseasoned and cooked potatoes, delicious grilled cherry tomatoes, in-house baked wheat toast, sunny-side-up eggs, and a piece of what appeared to be butter lettuce. Everything tasted great and felt well thought out. My partner ordered the almond croissant and an iced latte, which came with a small crunchy piece of almond croissant on top -- both were excellent. This is officially my new favorite breakfast spot in the area and I'll definitely be back. The inside decor was tasteful and inviting, and the staff and service were great -- super friendly and even said goodbye as we were leaving.

The cafe gets really busy in the morning, and indoor seating fills up quickly. There is outdoor seating with some heaters, though with how cold the weathers been lately, I prefer getting my bakery to go. I love the crème brûlée cruffin, and the lavender honey scone (also one of my first orders from here) is awesome! It's not surprising that the cruffin is one of their best sellers since it's pretty big and well worth the money. I also appreciate that they include tags for gluten free and vegan options, it'd be cool to see more food using both categories. During my most recent visit, I bought an almond berry cake (the only one that's vegan and gluten free), and I really appreciated the server asking me if I'd like the cake to be packed separately from my other orders. I've bought these pastries to share with friends and family, who've equally enjoyed the treats! Overall, farine is now one of my staple bakery spots in the Eastside!

Food: Romeo Mocha which is raspberry and dark chocolate. It was delicious. Highly recommend…read more Menu: Many options to choose from with their specialty in mochas. The specialty mocha list did not have pricing which I wish was clearly stated for transparency. Ambiance: Simple and clean place with plenty of tables and a couch which seems to stay full, sometimes hard to get a table. Service: Super friendly. There were a couple options I wanted to try and was unsure about sweetness levels and flavor choices. The barista was very accommodating and informed to let her know if sweetness needed to be adjusted or if she can accommodate another drink if I ended up not loving the one I ordered. Value: Great quality and reasonable pricing.

Very spacious cafe with plenty of seating and a cozy, inviting decor. They serve Macrina Bakery…read morepastries and baked goods, which I was excited about since I love Macrina. I ordered the triple chocolate muffin and a latte. The muffin was great, but the latte was quite weak and overly milky it tasted pretty diluted. I don't think I'll be coming back for the coffee, but that muffin definitely has me heading straight to Macrina next time. The barista was sweet and friendly, and although they kindly let us know we couldn't have our drinks in mugs since they were closing in an hour, they said it in such a considerate and warm way that I really appreciated it.
