This is genuinely my favorite place, and every time I come here I get great espresso drinks like cortados. Everyone here is super friendly and I can't say enough good things. It's a small shop with a nice atmosphere. read more

All I can say is that, "the green iced tea was absolutely refreshing, especially on a hot May morning." Frenchie's Coffee Bar is definitely a cozy spot and the coffee clerk was friendly and prompt with my order. She was a gem and deserves a raise. That's a review... So, stop in today... everyday if you'd like. read more

For all the time I've spent in this area, I'm surprised I only recently made it to Frenchie's. I like how it feels homey and playful, namely with the French bulldog paraphernalia. There's even an outdoor area that caters to dog owners. My dirty chai was good. My kids enjoyed the baked goods, though I found them a teeny bit underwhelming. read more

This place has potential and I have a feeling the food might be good. But let's get down to the facts / this is a "coffee bar" by its own declaration. Therefore, one should expect good coffee. Despite high hopes upon seeing a halfway decent La Marzocco when I walked in, this shop suffers from the same affliction as many seem to endure - NO BARISTA SKILLS. I missed the timing on the shot but it happened so quickly I have a feeling it probably went by with a fatal undercount. The milk was steamed with a careless aggression. So of course it was a thin pitiful foam despite being whole milk. It was dumped into the cup unceremoniously without even a slight effort to control the pour. My wife, who is relentlessly forgiving and nowhere near as demanding of coffee as I am gave a sarcastic "Yum" and stopped at one sip. I have appended a picture of my coffee. It tasted slightly worse than it looks. Alas. read more

Great latte, double shot Breve - perfect. Pork Belly breakfast sandwich- delicious Outta towners who never know where to go, this was great. Thank you read more

From my initial walk in it found frenchies to give cute and comfey vibes. Being a dog-mom i loved the theme. Both baristas were great, professional and friendly. I asked for recommendations on food and he suggested the Cajun chicken sandwich. OMG it was great. However the reason for the 4 stars is the cold brew coffee wasn't great. When I asked for cold foam they just used whip cream. A little dissapointing. read more

When I decided to check out Frenchie's Coffee Bar, I thought the name was based off a person but it's actually centered around French Bulldogs and I fell in love immediately with the interior! Of you're a dog lover like me, you can feel how at home this place feels. In every direction this is a different top statue, painting, decoration, and more, the grass outline was so cool! I decided to get a caramel matcha which was DELICIOUS! I never thought to get caramel with matcha but the combination was seriously so good and i'm already craving it again! I also decided to try their pork belly sandwich and I was seriously blown away. the pork belly was SO tender and tasty and this sandwich is fully loaded! there is plenty of eggs, arugula and it's served on a big croissant! and the prices are great - $8 for this sandwich is seriously a great price and for this area! Frenchie's is highly underrated and needs more attention! And the staff is so nice and friendly, this place is very inviting! read more

#15 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES A solid coffee shop with cute vibes, good drinks, and a simple menu. They have a large community table as well as a few others for those who want to study and do their work. I got an iced vanilla latte and thought it was very good! However, if you do not like sweet drinks, I would not recommend. All their coffee prices are pretty standard. We also ordered some food and to be honest, we waited like 30 minutes for it. It was understandable since there was only one person cooking, making drinks, and taking orders. She did give us some pastries as we waited. Overall, I would go again to study if I was in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. read more

Cute place! Smelled really good in there when you walk through the door. Great service! The barista was very friendly and kind. Definitely set the mood for good food and coffee! The menu was a good size, and the prices were definitely fair. I ordered a large iced chai tea latte. Very simple and it tasted amazing. I'm going to go back and try their specialty drinks! I live close by but never checked it out all this time. Def will put them on my list of favorite local coffee shops! read more

I visited Frenchie's late Sunday morning while in the area. I had seen positive content on IG and also a strong Yelp review rating from prior searches. The coffee bar/cafe is in a small nondescript plaza. Inside was small, cute and very busy. They had live music and were serving breakfast and pastries to a packed house. People were also ordering drinks to go. Service was a bit distracted, although there was a lot going on. I ordered a black iced coffee and they initially handed me a hot coffee. They corrected it right away. My iced coffee was good. Smooth. Rich. Above average. But not great. The food I saw on the tables looked very good. I would definitely try Frenchie's for breakfast. The pastries at the counter looked decent. They had a round croissant, which is a cool offering. Four Stars. I would visit again if I was in the area. read more

In town for the weekend for a friend's wedding. Consulted Yelp to see where to get a good cuppa joe and was pointed here. I will say that the coffee is very good. The space is cute and clean (lots of French bulldog stuff everywhere) and the staff were friendly and smiling. BUT... (there's always a "but," right?) I ordered a large mocha and brought it back to my hotel. This [in the attached photo] is the level to which it was filled (no, I had not had a sip when I took the lid off). Like I said , the coffee is really good, but... really? Close to $6 for a cup of coffee; fill the cup, please. read more

O, yes please!! I strongly recommend this place. The owner is sooo welcoming and attentive. We received excellent coffee, cookies, and even cake even though we didn't order it.

Had a wonderful first experience at frenchies this morning! I went in and tried their strawberry matcha and it was delicious! The shop blends together the love for coffee and dogs and has a good amount of seating! The shop is very clean and the staff is extremely friendly. One of the baristas Tiana prepared my order today and was very vibrant and bubbly! I highly recommend trying out their spinach and feta bistro pastry! Might be my favorite thing on their menu right now! read more

NEEDED IT. When I first heard about Frenchie's opening up in Stratford, I was so excited! With several big-name chains or mediocre shops around, I always crave a more intimate experience, and Frenchie's has delivered. The owner, Patrice, and her staff are incredibly welcoming and kind - honestly going above and beyond to make sure my latte was crafted just the way I liked it. The espresso was top notch and they have a great machine to deliver your coffee in whatever way you prefer. Did I mention the pastries? You've GOT to try the cronuts - they've got a variety of cinnamon sugar, caramel glaze [my fave], plain glaze - and really large croissants, quiches, and warm waffles too. Yum! The menu is great, but so is the space. They've created many seating options for whether you need to quickly get some work done, or work remotely from there all day. I particularly love the seating around the fireplace, super cozy and warm, especially with the cold weather coming in soon. You can't miss the adorable frenchie decor and art all throughout - super cute :) All in all - I want to make this a daily destination! I do wish the storefront was on the main road vs. behind the plaza, but it is worth the tiny turn to stop in. Plus, there's plenty of parking available. I stopped by this morning, and I'll probably be back tomorrow! read more

TLDR Nice little coffee bar. Friendly staff good food. For sure a vibe and solid recommendation if you're in the area. Vibe Quiet, lots of sunshine, my type of place. Food Food is good. I had a Waldorf sandwich which I really enjoyed, and the Pork Belly Egg & Cheese is solid. Friends had pastrami sandwich which they said was good. I will say though I like their choice of bread for their sandwiches it's like a croissant bun. Excellent decision. Coffee Is good nothing crazy or artisanal but solid offering. read more

Really cute, clean local coffee shop in Stratford. I had been looking for local coffee shops to work at and found this gem. The music is a little loud so if you have work calls it's probably not the place for that. I ordered cold brew and almond croissant, both were really good. Cole was very friendly, and service was quick. I will be back! read more

Super simple atmosphere because THE COFFEE is the STAR. Very chill and relaxed atmosphere, basic white and black. Spotlessly clean bathroom. They baked some fresh danish just as I walked in and packed them for me to go. Excellent gracious service. They gave me a free iced coffee after I bought some beans. They ground it to order and did all with genuine appreciation. read more

A huge shout out to a business with great service, phenomenal coffee, and gourmet-level pastries and food. The Sunday Brunch menu is exquisite and I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh herbs, mushrooms medley, and gorgeous platting of my Boston Terrier Hash. Family, dog, and local artist friendly-- I've had the best service here- even from young people---in an age where that is not always the norm... this place has the best energy and makes me proud to live in Stratford. #local #inviting #class, healthy and delicious read more

Maybe today was an off day at Frenchie's, but after hearing the great buzz around town for a while now my family and I decided to go check it out! First, the staff were great! The two women behind the register probably could have used a third person who just handled the register while they made the coffees. Two people doing both definitely slowed service down, but it was not their fault. They were hustling. Second, the food was...just not good. We ordered a couple of pastries, which were brought out about 5 minutes after we sat down, so I was shocked when we got the plate (after it was set down at a completely different family's table only to be brought to us by the family, not the staff) and they were cold. Even Starbucks toasts their stuff. It was very strange. And let me be clear, the items weren't just not hot, they were literally cold. Like out of a refrigerator. I took one bite of the delicious looking cinnamon sugar croissant and it was rock hard. We had to ask for a to go box to bring them home where we could warm them to enjoy. I also ordered the whipped ricotta toast and actively struggled to cut through any of it with the plastic fork and knife provided. Eventually I gave up and just picked the whole thing up, the plastic knife was bending and close to breaking. This item was also cold. I don't generally think of toast as a cold food, so that was disappointing as well. Overall, a cute spot, good coffee, but the food is lacking. It seems like more attention is paid to making things look cool for instagram. A bummer. read more

This place was such a nice surprise!! Hidden gem is exactly how I would describe it. Only reason I found it was searching for a different coffee shop and it popped up. I'm so glad it did! Probably the best americano I've gotten in a long time. The espresso was so smooth and tasteful! Not only good drinks but also fantastic service! This place is hidden, that's my only worry for it but if it can start getting the word out, this is the up and coming main spot for coffee in Stratford! read more

Amazing! I found this place due to a well placed sign in a closed Starbucks parking lot.

First time at Frenchies today and can't recommend more! Took my furbaby for a ride and she got a cup of whipped cream with some doggo treats on top. Ordered the Ricotta Toast, thinking its just toast with some ricotta spread on top, lol...it was much more! 5 perfectly toasted crustini's topped with fresh ricotta, juicy sliced strawberry with the most perfect fresh blueberries that I've ever seen. Flavors were amazing!! Service was great and it has a great vibe, will def go back - highly recommend!!! read more
