    Delicious carrot cake and slamming pistachio something or other
    Jen S.

    Loved it. Cute, clean and delicious! Had some kind of pistacho dessert that was sooo good. I will get all my desserts here from now on. Great for a date or to catch up with friends for a sweet treat.

    A beautiful interior and wonderful treats are immediately undermined by terrible service, making for the wrong kind of lasting experience. We arrived at 8:35 p.m. with 9 people, knowing they closed at 9 p.m. We asked upon entry if they were still serving. The answer was yes, but as we began placing orders, we immediately started getting pushback, like the hot lava cake is always served cold. They said we couldn't heat it, sorrys from them as they explained we closed at 9 - they were ALL clearly more focused on getting out at 9 p.m. versus serving the droves of people still funneling in. As they were plating out food to stay, part of the staff noticed we were planning to stay and eat, so of course they started flipping seats up onto the table so we could sit. This was going on all while the other diners were still seated and trying to enjoy their food. We were forced to stand in the doorway and eat off our trays. The staff was 90% engaged in leaving and preparing to leave versus serving the 25 people who were there. We went to the cars to drink or old and cold coffee. We weren't alone long, because at 9 p.m. they turned off the lights and told the 20 people they were closed and they had to leave! The folks leaving were aghast, many cursing as they exited. I took the opportunity to speak with some of them, and they were in utter shock! Owners....watch the closing tapes of December 30 from the Massapequa location. Your team is killing your business.

    What a wonderful find in Wantagh! I was looking for an Italian pastry shop and the French workshop popped up in my search, I was so glad we went. The store is beautiful and clean, as soon as you walk in the smell of coffee and pasties is divine! There are so many varieties, I wished I could order one of each to try. The baguettes were so good, we order a couple of pastries I had the raspberry tart that was so yummy! Also tried the crème brulle cheesecake and another chocolate pastry that was filled with chocolate mouse and hazelnuts, I wish I could remember what it was called, so good! We also took some sugar cookies home and they were fresh. The staff was super helpful and willing to answer any questions we had, they also serve sandwiches and quiche, I can't wait to go back!

    i like this place. saw it was v busy ona friday. ppl working on laptops and also lounging. i don't blame them. it is beautiful and sunlit. coffee so reasonably priced but pastries r more expensive. macrons are )2.95 each but i think they r worth it. staff kinda looks like their lives suck

    Great cafe for all things dessert. So many items to choose from! Come in the morning on a weekday so you can take your time to select your pastry. Very busy during peak hours/holidays! Enjoy your pastry with coffee and sit inside or outside.

    Finally was able to stop in to this location of French workshop this morning, and was greeted and helped by someone who I found out was actually the regional manager, and he could not have been friendlier. I was trying to figure out how to order coffee to go on the little iPad by the door and he was patient and helpful and even gave me a little bit of an inside, scoop as to a new menu item when I told him what one of my favorites was! All in all, a great way to start a gloomy day.

    Over priced for pastries. I ordered a few items to go to a family gathering and the guy packed them so badly they were blended together. Wrote to company and never heard from them. Terrible customer service

    I have been waiting very impatiently for this location to open as it is within walking distance from my mom's place. The vacant Friendly's finally has an occupant. Im so happy it's finally here! I've so far been two times and this place is always packed. Once the weather gets better I hope we can all take advantage of the outdoor seating. All the pastries I have tried are out of this world, especially the "Princess" pastry. Im also a big fan of the Nutella hot chocolate. The reason I give 4 stars is that the employees behind the counter are a little scattered. One person takes care of the pastry selections, another the sandwich orders, and another the coffees, and then there's the cashier. Its hard to keep track of all the things you're getting when you're finally at the register since the order is being handled by so many people. Maybe they can find a better way to streamline this process in the future. Congrats in your grand opening! I wish you so much success in this new location.

    Extremely overrated. All the crowds and long lines must love bland food. Sandwiches sound good but they do not taste good. In fact, the only good thing about them is just somewhat crisp bread . Same applies to pastry- they look good but taste terrible. Tried a few pastries and the chocolate was absolute let down, so was the cream , the only semi good thing was the crème brûlée. Dirty tables and overfilled tiny garbage bins, will not be back.

    The coffee, food and dessert options are amazing here. This has become one of my favorite spots to get pretty much anything. There's so many options and it's all made fresh you can even see them make most of the items for sale. The baristas and other employees are all super nice and helpful. Everything and everyone is perfect, when you come inside it's like being on vacation. It has such a romantic but casual feel to it. You're gonna enjoy whatever you get there plus the parking is good too.

    Not sure how this place doesn't have 5 Stars across the board. The selection is amazing. The place is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seating. From the almond croissants to the crème brûlée to the tarts and pies. You cannot go wrong. The coffee selection was pretty on point too. I have to also commend the packaging. The best boxes and bags to carry out your amazing treats.

    Creme Brulee

    Their pastries always look amazing and the place is always clean and immaculate. I love this place. I want to order everything from the bakery. It was my sister's birthday so we got 3 things. We got the Chocolate Noir, La Mure, and the Creme Brulee. We had such a hard time deciding we took like 20 minutes to decide. We came at around 5:30pm, and there was no line at all. So we took our time. We were thinking of coming back on a Sunday morning. But our cashier strongly suggested us that we don't. She said there's like an hour wait on the weekends in the morning. Good tip! So if you really want to feel relaxed and take your time, while also checking out quickly I suggest you go later on in the day. We brought the dessert to a restaurant to eat later on that night.

    Tiramisu with an unexpected topping that worked. Just a bit too much coco for my taste. Need something to wash it down.

    I'm glad I don't live around here for two solid reasons.... (1) I'd gain my weight in baked goods,…read moreno doubt about it.... sooooo amazingly good; and (2) I'd be REALLY upset about Connemarra only being open one day per week. However, since I'm not from around here, it was with pure delight and joy that my daughter introduced me to this place. Just walking into their storefront, the lovely sweet fragrance of freshly baked items was ever so apparent. While they are quite a small bakery and bake in very small batches, what they produce is so delicious, I told my daughter and son-in-law this place turns out the BEST bakery items... and when I said best, I meant BEST IN THE COUNTRY. That's pretty high praise, I'd say. IN THE COUNTRY. Supposedly, this is an Amish bakery. An Amish bakery in the heart of Wantagh, Long Island, NY. I'm not sure what makes it Amish, and I didn't bother to ask the ladies who were there on the Saturday I went, but whatever that means, I loved what I ate. I bought one of their Amish sugar cookies, which was a very soft sugar cookie, almost cake-like in texture, but still very much a cookie, which then had a layer of perfectly prepared vanilla buttercream, and then a drizzle of chocolate ganache. This normally would not be something I'd buy or eat, but when I saw it in the display case, it was callin' my name, and I'm soooooooo glad it did. It was spectacular. Soft, fragrant, buttery, creamy, sweet but not overly, with just a hint of salt. Perfection. I also bought a pint of their banana cream pudding. Again, a tout from my son-in-law (we tend to like the same kinds of foods), and it was AMAAAAAZING. Yes, in my opinion, it easily surpasses Magnolia Bakery's claim to the best banana pudding. I ate the entire amount by myself. EASILY. What flavor !!!!!!!! I also bought some little lemon cake/cookie, a Lemon Blossom, I believe... not really sure how to describe it, but it had a lovely lemon flavor, and I ate it in one bite. Lastly, I bought a lemon blueberry scone, and that was excellent, too. They had a number of cupcake flavors that all looked great, but I don't typically buy cupcakes. There were a few other bakery items that I also didn't buy, but I can assure you that when I return to NY to visit family, I will request a return visit here. This was an amazing bakery with superlative baked items that are NOT to be missed !! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!

    This place rocks! A friend of mine always gets baked goods from here and my wife and I went to get…read moresome - brownies, cakes, muffins, cupcakes, all fantastic! Super nice people inside too

I'm not the only person who this happened to and when I went to return the boards I was hoping to see the manager but they only had young people working there and they didn't deserve my anger. This place has become a joke of a once proud establishment, they now even outsource there bread because they can't meet the demand. Stay away and go to other places because this place is a disaster!!

Anyway, I'm really here to RAVE about the spinach pastry that is out of this world. Anytime I'm in the area I either get one for that morning or save it for the next morning- perfectly crispy and yummy interior; I pretend it's healthy because of the spinach. My daughter also loves the muffins and cookies here and especiallyyyy the TV screen that has a slideshow of their different custom cakes. I always want to inquire about them but I assume they are pricey. We got just a slice of the rainbow cake and something oreo related but just thought they were okay too. Just reiterating that the spinach pastry is AMAAZZZZING and everyone should go try it. Also love the coziness of this cute cafe. The end :)
