Really good chocolate pastry. Sign just says "double chocolate.". Liked so much I ate half of the pastry on my way home so the picture does not represent the actual size and appearance. Good quality chocolate layered in between the bread. Almost tasted like dark chocolate. The bread itself was soft in the middle. The outer layer looked quite baked and dry but was actually soft. I also get their Quiche Lorraine every time I find them at the Farmer's Market. Very dense with lots of ham on top of a thin layer of soft bottom crust. I get a hint of nutmeg on the quiche. They have increased the price over the last 4 years; almost doubled. read more

Adorable French Bakery - Double Chocolate - Farmers Market Near Me

I was dating someone French and he loved this place. But other French people claim it's not the best;) anyhow, the last two times my order was messed up. The baguette did not taste very good at all. The croissants weren't good either, tasted stale & doughy with a weird aftertaste. Actually the ones at Whole Foods are better. The service is friendly and they have lots of options but other than that, I won't go back. read more

Adorable French Bakery has a food stall/tent at the Irvington Farmer's Market on Sundays. The guys working there are friendly and nice. We picked up an Almond Croissant and a Morning Bun. Both were just ok. read more

This food stand can be found in 11 different locations on Saturdays, and another 11 locations on Sundays at farmers' markets throughout the bay area, primarily in the south bay. Had the ham and cheese croissant sandwich at Sunnyvale Farmers' Market a year ago, and more recently tried the ham gougère (with bacon, cheddar, and pesto) and mushroom cup (cup-shaped croissant with mushroom and spinach) at the Mountain View Farmers' Market, but they offer so much more, a nice variety of items including vegan lasagna. The baked goods are served cold or at room temperature to be exact, since it sits in the vendor tent on display as items are sold throughout the day (it definitely tasted better heated up at home). Nonetheless, the sweet and savory treats here are delicious and the people running the stands are friendly and helpful, providing sufficient details about each pastry/dessert (though the labels have prices and ingredients listed as well for most items). This is a popular food stand, so the line can get long sometimes, but they work efficiently to keep things moving and get customers what they need as quickly as possible. read more

I'd give the savory pastries 3 stars, and the sweet pastries 2 stars. I've tried Adorable French Bakery's pastries from both the Inner Sunset SF Farmers' Market and the Irvington Farmers' Market in Fremont over the years. The pastries all look appealing and are nicely arranged, so I've been tempted into buying them multiple times. Unfortunately, my general impression of the pastries is a solid "meh" or even disappointing, especially considering the high prices. FOOD // + Mushroom pesto ricotta croissant cup: this has been the best item I've tried. Flavors were good. Definitely recommend toasting it first before eating. ~ Eggplant quiche: very oily and heavy. There was way too much cheese for me. I felt unhealthy eating it as I saw the amount of oil soaking through the cheese and the bottom pastry. I toasted it before eating, which I think made it a bit better. ~ Kouign amman: this was okay. The layers inside were more on the bready/doughy side, rather than the flaky croissant-like layers I've usually seen at other bakeries. Not as sweet as other versions I've tried. ~ Tropézienne (brioche with orange blossom vanilla cream); apple tart; pear tart: more sweet pastries that did not live up to their beautiful appearances. SERVICE // Friendly service. Near closing time, they offered me a few dollars off the multiple pastries that I'd purchased. However, they didn't mention the 3% credit card fee. read more

Sorry folks - this place blows animal BLANK, and that's putting it generously. I normally save my 1 stars food poisoning/egregious service, bur Abhorrable Trench gets the honor of getting the 1 star for all around crappy items across the board. I've given this place numerous tries at the Milpitas farmers market - croissants, pain au chocolat, baguette, etc. Every single time, something is wrong and it's not the same thing wrong. Baguette too salty? Maybe! Very obviously old croissant? Oh yeah! Lavender tasting, salty, and ugly croissant? You bet! It's mind boggling to me just how awful this place is at making pastries. As someone who's actually rolled out and baked a croissant, I'm amazed at how they disrespect the item in a different way every time. Clearly, I'm culpable for revisiting this place and subjecting myself to this misery. I will say that the francophone monsieur owner and the storefront are quite charming in a way that would make you THINK this place would have authentic, delicious French pastries. I'm saddened me to see them expanding their grift to other farmer's markets (MV, Los Gatos). read more

I'm not sure why this place has only a 3.0 star rating?? I came across this stall at the Campbell's Farmer's Market and they had a large variety of items to choose from! The savory spin captured my heart right away -- I mean, what's better than a combination of pesto, cheese, and sun dried tomatoes? In addition to the savory spin, I also got their raspberry pistachio tart, because the owner was giving out samples of it as we were deciding what to get. The tart was buttery and not too sweet, with a nice raspberry, chocolatey, and nutty flavor profile. I shared both items with my partner and it satisfied our hunger. I will say that the total was a bit steep. It was over $16, and an additional 3% credit card charge was added. Definitely remember to bring your cash! read more

Grew up in a village in France. The pastries look good, but they taste just like Safeway's.,(at twice the price) made with 100% hydrogenated fats, instead of butter. If you want authentic French, best is Tartine bakery in SF or Midwife and the Baker in Mountain View. read more

I discovered Adorable French Bakery at my local farmer's market and decided to give them a try. I am always on the lookout for excellent kouign amann, my personal favorite, and I ordered an apple one for myself and a plain for my brother. The pastries are on the expensive side (almost $7 vs. $4-$5), but this is likely due to their larger size. The pastry itself was very heavy and dense, and I was expecting a lighter, butterier pastry. The bottom of the pastry was nicely caramelized; however, the pastry was very difficult to cut with a fork. Also, I would have preferred larger, less mushy apple chunks. Perhaps their savory pastries, breads, and cakes would be better options to try next time. read more

We tried Adorable at Scotts Valley. Hmmmm. We had 4 pastries and all were doughy and seemed undercooked. French pastry is supposed to be lighter and more fluffy. It's my guess that the dough is not kneaded and folded nearly enough. Flavor was not bad but the pastries were all tough. I did like the king's cake. Maybe it is more Belgian than French,lol. read more

I used to indulge in a ham and cheese croissant every now and again from this place. It wasn't the most elegant or flaky croissant, but it had decent flavor. Maybe because it was a savory option, their salted butter (lack of) lamination didn't bother me as much. But they've now raised their already ridiculous prices even higher and even and ham and cheese croissant starts at $8 now! That is insane, especially compared to the ham and cheese croissants you can get at Mademoiselle Collette or Maison Alyzee or even Alexander's Bakery which actually show proper baking techniques and don't looked like something slapped together by a first time baker. The service is also hit and miss with some workers being clueless while some are much more helpful. read more

Adorable French Bakery was present at San Leandro Farmers @ Bay Fair on Saturday, 11-1. offerings: breads, croissants, quiches, tarts, kouign-aman, choux, echairs, prices posted. tarts, quiches, breads short supply. some french pastries were selling 2 for $10, 3 for $15. eats: vanilla choux (cream puff) (7) -vanilla wasn't the usual cream, more dense, topping was unusual, and base was more crumbly than the brittle kind i had before, apple kouign-amann, apple sauce (6) tastes like regular apple sauce. nothing special. pastry is larger than usual, the pastry isn't as flaky, more dense, tastes the same. 3.5 stars good portions for interesting eats, not the same as name brands. read more

Fresh baked goods from an actual French family. I'm happy to see a stall opened in the Milpitas Farmer's Market. I enjoyed having their Vanilla Orange Blossom Brioche, ham & cheese croissant and French Vanilla Choux. I usually come by the Farmer's Market around 10:30am so 1/2 their goods are sold out. I'll need to come early to try their other goodies. Talking with the seller, he said there is no cafe. Their bakeshop is in Santa Cruz. Not too far compared to other stalls who traveled from Southern California and Central Valley. read more

What are you all taking about. 5 stars. Wonderful bakery with amazing costumer service. Best I've had in the area.

This is for their location at the Santa Clara Farmer's Market. This had a line that naturally drew me to it as a sign of goodness. The employees were super nice. I was pointed to the almond croissant and raspberry tart when I asked them for their specialties. Both were decent. The croissant was a little too doughy and the tart was meh. I did not think they deserved the premium pricing. read more

This place was the only bakery in the whole Sunnyvale farmers market, so it was crowded. While the pastries look good, they are not. Everything tasted kind of old, it was very expensive as well. They also forgot something in our order, and we didn't notice until we got home which is rather annoying since everything was already super expensive. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Yum! You can find this place at the Campbell Farmers Market on Sundays. They take credit card! $12 quiche? Quite the price, but the quality was great. I got the potato quiche, which had cheese, pine nuts, spinach, and thinly sliced potatos. It was simple, but very filling. I warmed it up in my microwave when I got home, so the pastry crust was a bit soggy. I should've used the air fryer! CHEESECAKE! So good. $7 a slice or 2 slices for $10. Pricey, but WOW! It's amazing. The filling was dense and sweet. The crust was crumbly and thick. There was also an orange zest glaze on top that added a nice tanginess to the flavor. I highly recommend. read more

Farmers Market purchases in Walnut Creek today. Bought 4 items and threw out two due to quality/taste. - Wheat sourdough - Gougere with ham - Croissant - Almont croissant Everything looked pretty good, but the style of baking here is very odd. The gougere and almond croissant were both really soggy. I've enjoyed these items for many years elsewhere and never run across this issue. The photos on past reviews I see capture the almond croissant. It's more like a bread pudding and should be sold with some other name. Had to toss both. Croissant was ok and the wheat load is crusty and tasty, though with a bit of a gummy texture. Though at $12 just for the loaf I expected it to be really great. read more

Two words- ALMOND TWIST it is absolute heaven Everything they make is delicious I am usually a savory person but I will go for any of their sweets bc nothing is ever too sweet. It is just the right amount read more

Kinda sus - they don't post prices and it's definitely overpriced at $6 for a croissant. The apricot croissant was good (crispy texture and interesting filling) but for $6 not so much. Selection is large and they have a mix of pastries and quiche/tarts but I think you can find better farmer's market pastries in the area. read more

Something's not right here Seems like all the food has been frozen. This place is overpriced and is a disgrace to French pastries. Costco has better croissants. There were no prices on anything and the staff was extremely rude and entitled . This is another great example that just because they say they're a French bakery and From France doesn't mean they know what they're doing. This place is absolute garbage. Go to Starbucks they have better pastries. read more

Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! We ordered lunch, Quiche Lorraine and Pepperoni Focaccia ... so good. Will be back for desert soon.

This review is for the Mountain View Farmers Market location. My family ordered several things: Savory: - eggplant tart - ratatouille quiche - fennel quiche Sweet: - apple kouign amann - apple crumble All the savory pastries were delicious (our favorite was definitely the ratatouille quiche which has lots of veggies and feels creamy but not too rich/heavy. The eggplant tart was probably our second favorite but it's definitely much heavier on the cheese. The fennel was also good (it has a quinoa pesto and the quinoa noticeably changes the texture, not in a bad way though it might not be everyone's preference). For the sweets, the apple kouign amann was disappointing. It should be flaky and layered with sugar. There were no real apple chunks or apple filling, rather just a tiny dollop of apple butter on top. The texture was too doughy and dry like bad bread and there were no flaky buttery layers. There also wasn't really much sugar, and it was definitely slightly burned. I enjoyed the apple crumble more, but it wasn't anything special and I wish the apple to dough ratio was higher. What was really upsetting though is they overcharged for the sweets (which I paid for separately and in cash). The kouign amann ($6) and apple crumble ($6) total should've been $12 but I realized after purchasing that they charged me $14, which makes sense after reading other reviews about them overcharging and being sneaky about prices. Overall, I'd recommend the savory pastries over the sweet. I probably wouldn't go back again though because they seem to be chaotic/disorganized and cheating their customers. The savory tarts/quiches were also really pricey for the portion size. Also heads up, they charge a 3% fee for credit cards. One last thing, my bro-in-law is allergic to nuts so I asked whether certain pastries contained nuts and some of the staff didn't seem to know... read more

There's a pop up of this place on campus at UCSC and I just want to say...very disappointing. Huge portions, but overpriced for what they are.

This authentic French bakery, which also serves lunch items, is probably the best addition to Scotts Valley since sliced bread. That could possibly extend to the whole county and beyond. The food is straight from France. Today, a friend and I shared the ratatouille quiche, which was light fluffy and delectable. The servings are very ample. We then split, one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life, the huge almond, circular "sweet roll", (can't remember the actual name),. Closed my eyes and was back on the Left Bank, hearing people speaking French and recalling one of the best reasons critics applaud France for its food and delightful cafes. The ambiance truly transported me to one of my favorite foreign destinations-Paris!. Everything is done with exceptional care from the display of items to the service. Staff was helpful and gracious. Cannot wait to take other friends there and share this outstanding eatery with them! And right on Scott's Valley Blvd! Mon Dieu! How lucky are we? read more

I saw Adorable French Bakery for the first time a few weeks ago at the Sunnyvale Farmer's Market (held every Saturday). I stopped by again the other weekend, and they had an impressive variety of baked goods. They had croissants, tarts, cream puffs, breads, etc, but no pricing information for the items, as other Yelpers have mentioned. I opted to try a cream puff, since they look so perfectly made. The Pistachio Cream Puff ($7/each or 2/$12, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=m1axLhXgoEWLY-xyQ7ydjw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg) was solid, but not amazing. The pastry cream was thick and creamy, and had a good pistachio flavor without being too sweet. However, the choux pastry was a little too dry/crumbly. Like other Yelpers, my main issue with this bakery stand is definitely the high prices, and the lack of clear pricing of the items- I wish they would set up a whiteboard or something along those lines so customers don't have to: #1 Keep asking what each item is, and #2 Keep asking what all the prices are for items. Based on this, I will likely not be back unless I can see the pricing displayed. read more

Overpriced dry brioche with no utensils Visited the Adorable French Bakery stand at the Downtown Campbell Farmers Market this morning. The pastries and cakes all looked beautiful, but the one I tried - a slice of brioche with a floral custard creme filling that looked like a piece of cake - was a weird unpleasant contrast of textures and flavors. The brioche was as dry, stale, and flavorless as ten-day old bread. The creme filling had a creamy vanilla taste at the beginning, but a lingering, slightly spoiled milk aftertaste. To make matters worse, when I asked for a fork, the employee suggested I take a fork from another food stand. Isn't that stealing? I wasn't going to order from the other stands, but I can take their utensils? That didn't seem right, so I had to walk/drive it all the way home instead of (not) enjoying it at the Farmers Market. For $7, I would think some kind of utensil would be available so people don't have to try to eat cake with their bare hands at a farmers market. read more

New location in Scott's Valley. Bakery is ope. We ordered 2 different quiches. Just excellent flavor. Very affordable. And the waiter John was absolutely the greatest.

I visited the Scotts valley location. My gluten-free pasty was very tasty. My husband ordered a different item (cake ) and it was so tough he couldn't even cut it with the wooden forks. There's no heater in the location and it was about 50° inside the restaurant.. ... It was almost 10 minutes before I got my latte and by then we were finished with the pastries. Almost everything was eight dollars or more. Probably will not go again. read more

I was visiting Santa Cruz and stopped in at the Westside Farmers Market the weekend before Thanksgiving. The longest line at any of the stands was the one for Adorable French Bakery. The variety of options seemed endless, from loaves of bread and savory quiches to delicate pastries and slices of tarts and cakes - it was a bit overwhelming. The prices are definitely high so this was a splurge for me. I chose three things, a savory pesto sun-dried tomato croissant ($7), a kouign-amann (they had 2 to choose from, both with a fruit filling ($5-6ish), and a paris-brest with almonds (see picture) ($7ish). The savory croissant was as good as I hoped for, flakey layers of buttery pastry with just the right amount of pesto sundried tomato goodness - 5 stars! Kouign-amann, one of my favorite things on the planet, and a super special treat to find, I've had maybe a total of 7 in the past 14 years, had apple in the center, it was a supreme let down. It is supposed to be a pastry that takes a croissant-like dough that is laminated with butter and sugar resulting in a flaky, rich pastry with a caramelized outer crust. Why they insisted on having fruit in the center is beyond me, I bought it thinking it might be an awesome addition, alas I was wrong. The apple filling was nothing special, I scooped it out and tried the pastry on it's own, it missed the mark. Imo - you should'nt mess with perfection, and if you can't get it right, don't make it! ZERO STARS! The paris brest made the entire purchase worth it! It's a dessert I've never had, it's made of choux pastry and a praline flavoured cream. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! True, I've nver had one before, so my opinion on if it was a true representation is neither here - nor there. All I know is that when we cut it into pieces to share, there were 12 large bite size pieces - neither one of us could eat more than 3 pieces because it was so rich and wonderful. We put the rest away in the fridge and enjoyed it after dinner, it was just as good. More than 5 STARS! So maybe if you go, try something new, don't order a croissant or something you have an expectation of, just go with something you haven't tried before and enjoy the experience! read more

Every farmers market should have a few good artisan bakeries. Adorable can be found at the milpitas farmers market on Sundays. They have a good selection of pastry, croissants, tarts, and a few types of crusty breads. Pricing is not clearly listed; pastry ranges from $6-$9 each or 2 for $10. They have an almond pastry that cost $9! We decided on a chocolate and plain croissant and blueberry and apple crumble. I can see why some reviewers thought croissants were stale since these had a tough outer crust and a chewy middle. But I think thats just the way these are made. Fruit crumbles had great fruit flavor and a sweet crisp top, but were otherwise thick, dense and gummy. A little unpleasant to eat. Still they had a lot of other things that looked good. If you're willing to pay... read more

This stand pops up every so often and today I decided to try it. It was so bad. I got their potato gratin, it looked like someone had thrown up on it. I warmed it up in the microwave hoping that it would help but it somehow made it worse? It tasted off, like they served me spoiled food. Truly disgusting. I also got their berry tart and it was frozen rock solid, it was like eating an ice cream sandwich.. on top of that, I was waiting around for 10 ish minutes because the attendant wasn't in the stand itself. She came back and reeked of tobacco and smoke and barely attempted to serve me. It was a gross experience. The gratin costed 14 dollars for food poisoning and the berry tart was a 6 dollar ice cream sandwich. Not worth it at all, my stomach hurts. read more

Adorable French Bakery - Farmers Market Near Me

The Adorable French Bakery is a little on the expensive side but the food is good and the portions are generous. They caught my attention when I noticed a long line at their tent during a farmer's market. The staff was really hustling, so the line moved fairly quickly. I was a little annoyed because they charged me an extra 3% at checkout when I used a credit card instead of cash. It's not like I bought a candy bar for less than $5.00. I purchased three things for $25.00. I wanted to dock them a star for that but couldn't reasonably do that. In all fairness, I can't give them less than five stars. The size of the quiche, mushroom filled pastry, and mocha dessert I purchased were large. Each was fresh, buttery, filled with interesting ingredients, and delicious. The quiche had broccoli, eggs, and cheese in it and was probably enough for two people. The mushroom filled pastry was flakey, savory, and surprisingly filling. The mocha dessert was visually appealing and filled with a delicious coffee/chocolate custard. In my opinion, the food is definitely with the price. Just remember to bring cash! read more

I have always loved to grab a pastry at the farmer's market from Adorable French Bakery, my son loves the chocolate croissants and the savory croissants are amazing! Today I hosted a baby shower and decided to have them cater it. The food was amazing, all the guests loved it. Working with Nicolas to create a menu couldn't have been easier! I messaged them through their website and got a response right away. Nicolas suggested a menu and we had everything worked out the same day I reached out to them. The whole process and food, of course, was amazing. Thank you so much to Nicolas and Muriel for their wonderful food and service, it truly made our day! read more
