I had always gone to the location in Bayside but never knew this location in Astoria existed. This location is huge; has a lot of seating, has beautiful selection of pastries and coffee. I ordered their Nutella cheesecake and strawberry cream brûlée cheesecake. I enjoyed the both so much I didn't have time to take a good picture. The strawberry was sweet and savory. The Nutella cheesecake had chunks of Nutella hidden in the cheesecake. I did not love their coffee, probably wouldn't order it again or try something else from the menu.
I've always frequent the french workshop at Bayside so I am aware of all their offerings! What's better at Astoria is all the seating they have! The location is bigger, more spacious and as you walk in on the left, you see the kitchen, which was pretty neat. Came to Astoria to meet a friend and spent some time here. I usually pick up bread or dessert but this time, we had some breakfast sandwiches and bakery items as well as some drinks. Food was good- heated when requested. Croissants were also very good. I ordered a matcha latte and they have two options- sweetened or unsweetened (powder) and I chose the sweetened which felt a little too sweet for my liking. At the end we picked up some bombolonis to go which were all very good- not too sweet and the donut part was nice and light.
This upscale bakery in Astoria with cute, bright white indoor seating has a fine selection of baked goods and sweet drinks. I wanted a nice pumpkin spice latte during the cold winter and I made an excellent choice - the pumpkin flavor came out nicely despite how it was a bit too sweet. The cookies were solid - normally I like them smaller and right out the oven but the amount of butter in this cookie made it fun to chew and taste. I liked the almond cookie more for it sweetness level. The absolut vanilla was a nice combination of vanilla (I didn't see the beans?) and was quite lemon-y. The staff were friendly too, I liked the glass wall when you could see the chefs work their magic. I'll come back for sure, I just need to be watch my sugar intake!
Desserts 4/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 5/5 This spot offers beautifully made pastries that they are less overwhelmingly sweet than many other French bakeries. The quality is decent, with the fruits consistently fresh and every item thoughtfully constructed and reasonably priced The Raspberry Cake (4.25/5): Probably my favorite out of them all. I loved the cream to cake balance and the very generous amount of fresh raspberries Berry Fruit Tart (4.25/5): Wonderfully creamy with an abundance of fresh fruit on top Pistachio Cake (4/5): The pistachio element was a little on the sweeter side, but I loved being able to taste and feel the pistachio pieces in every bite Also did not love the handwriting on the chocolate for my pistachio cake :/
Let me tell you that this pistachio gateau vanilla cake with caramelized pistachio, pistachio ganache and pistachio mousse really is made perfectly! Just right with layered notes of pistachio in a rich vanilla cake. It's nice for birthdays or any day for cake lovers. We went to the French Workshop in Astoria and will come back to try other desserts when we are up for it. Worth revisiting for sure! Great service and the associate pumped a thumbs-up sign at my sister when he found out she was taking a picture of him doing the writing on our sister's birthday cake.
This cafe is a lovely place to come do work. The atmosphere is very quiet with chill music playing in the background. There's a LOT of seating, most of which has an outlet near it - perfect for those needing a place to work. I came here both yesterday and today and I ordered the same thing each time: a medium Lavender Lemonade. I'm not happy to report that the lemonades differed in taste each day, yesterday's being better... Today, they left out the lavender syrup that is supposed to sit at the bottom. Additionally, the lemonade has a TON of pulp in it today, whereas yesterday it did not. I've yet to try their coffee or one of their endless varieties of scrumptious looking pastries, but I'll definitely be back to try them soon. I'm *hoping* that today was just an unfortunate mishap and that they are typically actually consistent in the making of their beverages. I'll update this review later once I've tried a few more things!
This place just opened by Broadway station in Astoria. It is a sweet tooth's heaven! Every kind of pastry imaginable and they offer coffee too. One of our favorite cakes is called The Duke, a super thick chocolate mousse with graham cracker on the bottom. It basically tastes like a very rich s'mores chocolate cake. We have also tried their peach tart and Oreo cake. They also offer writing on the cakes for special occasions. The space is huge with ample seating. It feels very relaxing to be inside and would make a great spot to catch up with a friend or even read a book while enjoying a pastry and coffee.
Got the fruit tarts here - both vanilla and chocolate versions were good and firm tarts themselves. The cream was a little too sweet for me but I appreciate that it has a custard flavor vs ones such as at Martha's.
How did this bakery opening fly under the radar for a month?! This is a PERFECT addition to the Broadway area of Astoria, just steps away from the subway. Walking in, you are transported to a peaceful oasis--with sights of the bakers working their magic and ample seating with free WiFi. Now for the pastries...WOW. There is a massive variety of treats with flavors that are not easily found elsewhere (matcha banana bread, coconut pound cake, pistachio cream and raspberry shortcake). Definitely do not skip the cookies either!
SOOOOO excited for The French Workshop's grand opening in Astoria. I've been going to the Bayside location for the past couple of years and was so eager to hear they were expanding :) The space itself is HUGE. There are plenty of spots to dine-in and I noticed outlets at every seating area - which is super convenient. I also loved that when you walk in, there's an open kitchen & you can watch the bakers bake the pastries. Although everything looked so fresh, I was full from dinner, ended up just ordering a Nutella hot chocolate & it was perfect. If the line gets too long, there are also screens to mobile order. Will definitely be one of my go-to spots. Welcome!!
Overwhelmed is the best way to describe the French workshop. I was looking for a cozy bakery/cafe. Instead, I found a huge cafe, almost the size of one of those Shake Shack, with an enormous amount of seating, cakes, and desserts scattered throughout the space, so given the limited time I was there, I would say that my first evaluation may be a little biased, as I felt very rushed. There was too much to choose from in such a limited time, and they were set up in such a way that makes you want to sit there for hours drinking expensive coffees and eating desserts, all the while using your laptop for work or schoo/ The eatery is embedded in a ground-floor, almost basement-like dwelling. I do not remember what was there before, but they sure hollowed out a very large dining area with lounge-like seating. I did not find my little white chocolate cake terribly exciting, but that could have been just due to the mood I was in at the time. So my conclusion is somewhat limited. I think three stars is the right grade for now, but I plan to certainly pay them another visit. All I can say is that they are worth a second chance!
I came here with my husband and my sister for dessert. It's a cute bakery with plenty of seating. We all thought the desserts we had were just ok, and not good enough for a repeat visit. We had some cookies, a carrot cake, a chocolate cheesecake, a cheesecake brownie, and some other chocolate dessert. They were all just ok with the chocolate cheesecake being the best of all, but still not great. The worst was the cheesecake brownie. It wasn't chocolaty and the cheesecake on top tasted off. With all the dessert places in Astoria this one isn't worth a visit.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I can't wait to come back. Their raspberry cookie with like a jelly inside was so damn delicious. They paired it with some good lemonade. It wasnt too tart and wasnt too sweet, just right. They also gave us this fruit tart with strawberries, raspberry and blueberry. I personally didn't like the curst on this item but my party did. The cream on the inside was really good. It was a huge place and there were tons od seats outside and inside. This place is a vibe. read more
I always thought that their ultra successful original location of The French Workshop in Bayside would eventually expand again in Queens, not just Long Island. Astoria feels like the right next step. Like the other shops, this location is spacious, with an abundance of pastries and sweet treats to satisfy your cravings. Though most of their desserts tend to be a tad too sugary for me, I do really like their various types of miniature cookies. My favorite is probably their double chocolate chip. Prices are slightly above average, but the quality is also unmistakable. For a sweet treat once in a while, not a big deal. read more
In the mood for dessert, I stumbled by this place and boy am I glad I did! They have such a great selection and I wound up getting their strawberry tart. Man, this was a heavenly dessert as it made my taste buds dance! So delectable! Service was quick and the place is huge! Lots of seating to accommodate groups of people. It was busy when I was here which is a testimony on how good their products are! This is definitely a place I will revisit....many times! read more

Overall an okay spot to try. Lots of seating indoors and out. Unfortunately they don't enforce the no smoking signs outside, which leads to people sitting for hours constantly smoking. Really deters from visiting. Customer-base seems often from out of town or visitors. read more

I spent a lottt of time here during the summer (when I needed a good place to focus for my business. The interior is superrr cute! They have amazing coffee & great pastries. My go-to was an oatmilk caramel macchiato and a butter croissant. Very clean, lots of great options. Seating fills up fast a lot read more
Finally checked this off my list! So glad there's one that's more accessible now than Garden City whenever we used to go to for Mazda service. This space is huge, clean, and has plenty of seats! I love how bright the whole area is. I've only ordered my usual go to Americano and chocolate croissant and a Nutella Beignet and it was pretty good. I especially appreciate that the Americano was done thoughtfully and didn't seem watered down. Their music selection is also pretty relaxing, so much so that I even felt compelled to just take off my air pods and listen to their selection. The staff seemed warm and friendly and at one point, they also offered chocolate truffles to try so that was a wonderful touch! Lastly, there are 2 toilets both of which seemed clean and maintained well. I hope this branch stays pretty consistent! Keep it up and looking forward to try some more of your yummy pastries! :) read more

Popped into the Astoria location with friends. I'm usually at the bayside location and I went to a Long Island location once. Staff were great and the ambiance was good and well with the high ceilings and multiple pastry options including gluten free selections. My friend was very disappointed with the pain au chocolate, dry and lacking chocolate. My iced latte was good. Lemonade also good. read more

Pros: I absolutely love their iced honey latte and most of their baked goods and even sandwiches were delicious as well. It is pricey but I justify it with the quality because I'd rather pay 2 extra dollars for a good latte than a shitty one from Dunkin. I used to go to the location in bayside but since I don't have a car anymore this location has become a lot more accessible for me via bus and train ( yes I take both to get here ) This location in particular has a lot of seating and I've come here a few times during the morning, afternoon and night and I've always been able to find a seat for myself no problem. Environment is relaxing and seating is comfy for the first 2 hours. Cons: I have not been here since the summer but I did come here a lot during then ( for the coffee and AC ofc ) and they had multiple outlets where I can actually get work done/ watch a show and even read a book if I'd like. It is now January 9,2026 and I see the outlets are bolted shut. Super super disappointing as I love coming here to hang out by myself most times and also very confused because what is the point of having a huge cafe with seating a lot of single seating if you're not going to allow them to work while enjoying a coffee. Perhaps they implemented a time limit? Perhaps there were people abusing the seating/outlets? Maybe. All this to say, the coffee is great the food is great but come with your own portable charger or don't stay longer than an hour unless you want your devices to run out of battery. read more
The pastries were wonderful and fresh. I tried the turkey and Swiss croissant and the caramel benign, I will have it again very delicious. I enjoyed the fact the staff ensured you were being assisted immediately as they kept the line moving. I love that there is seating where you can sit down and enjoy your food. read more
When an outpost of the French workshop opened up down the block from work, I knew I had to try it out because I love their Bayside location. I certainly was not disappointed. The chicken pesto sandwich hit all the right notes and had all the right flavors and the iced Nutella chocolate never disappoints. The staff was incredibly friendly and even came around with some samples of cookies while we sat and ate. The inside is huge and the decor is exactly what you expect from this top notch bakery. read more
i got a few pastries. one of the pastries was supposedly from the day before & i was told after purchasing. i was given the option to receive a refund which was very nice of them to inform me and gave me the option. the pastries i bought (i got 3) all looked better than it tasted. they have seats, but i did not dine in. read more

What a cool unexpected place in the heart of Astoria. I truly didn't expect to have one of the best pastries I've ever tried there read more

It is a brand new workshop, after all, so they are a work in progress. First, you can't hear anything.... the server at the counter had to repeat herself four times to be heard over the clatter...they definitely need dampeners. The raspberry tort was excellent but the sandwich (chicken and avocado) was not up to par. They forgot that we all like seasoning. The bread needed a little salt, the sandwich, although the ingredients were nice and fresh, needed some kind of spice or flavor. It was, unfortunately, completely tasteless. Step up your game, FW, we want you to succeed!! read more
