    Chocolate ganache cake
    Becky C.

    I Googled the nearest local cake shop and found this place. I was greeted by a young lady as soon as I came in. Very nice and welcoming. She answered all the questions I had and was knowledgeable with their products. I was looking for a chocolate cake for our anniversary and she recommended their Chocolate Ganache cake. $19 for size small. Wow, it was incredible. I'm not a huge chocolate fan but this cake blew me away. Sponge was soft and moist, filling was creamy and luscious and the ganache was perfect! Sweetness was just right, too! Inside the store had a good amount of displayed cakes, breads, cookies and pastries. Interior was simple and warm. Will definitely come back and support this business!

    Jack and Sally cake for my 3 yr old.  Super cute!!!

    Still love this bakery for all my special occasion cakes. Went in on a Thursday- asked for a Jack and Sally cake- no picture design- just a note giving designer creative freedom and they did not disappoint! Went in on Friday to take my own strawberries for the middle filling and it turned out I took too few so they had to buy extra for the cake pick up Saturday morning. Of course there was an extra charge for them having to go out of their way to get my strawberries but more than anything I'm thankful that they did that! Made this cake absolutely perfect and delicious, like I've come to expect from French's Bakery. Thank you French's in Orange for always making my special occasions so delicious and memorable

    I am giving them a 2.67 but will round to 3 for the decent service. I actually wanted boba in the same plaza but after seeing it was closed and noticing this bakery, I went in here instead not knowing what I wanted for the first time. The cookies wrapped in 2 or 3 dozens were enticing since I have a few work meetings coming up. After asking about prices and whatnot, I decided to just try the carrot cake for the day. The employee working shared some specials to me such as $1 cupcakes on Tuesday and $5 dozen cookies after 10am on Thursday I believe. Unfortunately, the carrot cake was on the dry side and tasted from a box. I would not get that again. I might give them one more shot and return to for their special prices on cupcakes and cookies but its got to be good for me to keep returning.

    Strawberry! And chocolate cookie! Both Soo good!

    Came by before it closed to see if I would be lucky to get a wagon wheel but of course not. Their wagon wheels are really delicious! Of course they would sold out by the end of the day. They had their mini wagons and I tried their strawberry and it was sooo good! Perfect size and delicious. Hits the spot. I was also craving a brownie but didn't want to get a slice but they had it in a cookie form and that was also good! Everything here hits the spot! Highly recommend their wagon wheels if you haven't had them already!

    $1 Cupcakes on Tuesdays, the BEST deal in town! Big variety, all delicious, can't be beat

    Dry cookie

    I bought 4 large cookies today around 2:30pm. The 4 large cookies came out to exactly $15.40 (not cheap). They looked great in the case . This is my first time ever buying any pastries from French's and I was beyond disappointed. I'm not sure if this is how their cookies always are or if I randomly got sold old cookies but 3 out of 4 of my cookies were dry as sand. You can see in the photos provided that these cookies were completely dried out. When I broke the cookie in half to try it...the cookie literally SNAPPED ...there was zero ounce of softness or moisture in these cookies. I hope they reevaluate their timeliness of selling their cookies or have better quality control because this was ridiculous.

    Since it was Mardi Gras and having been to 'Nawlins several times, I couldn't possibly celebrate without a little Jambalaya, a little Abita beer, and a King Cake to round it out. After making several calls to local bakeries, I was surprised that more places were not carrying King Cake. But when I called French's, the kind woman on the phone said that they had several available and was happy to put one aside for me. Hopped in the car and down the road I went. I was greeted warmly as I walked in by the staff. The place was very clean, and the smells were wonderful. They had several of the King Cakes on the counter, so I asked the woman helping me for the best one she had. She explained that they had some plain and some with pockets of apple filling. Then she said that the best one she had (with the apple) was already on hold for someone who called in just a few minutes ago. I smiled and gave her my name and she just laughed and said that she knew it was me by the voice. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for having a great sense of humor and being so kind. It can really make a person's day by being nice and having a great attitude. All of the staff laughed at the interaction between us. She gave me the saved cake, I paid my $18, threw a few bucks in the tip jar, and down the road I went again. Had the King Cake after dinner. For those that haven't had it, it is a bit more like a bread than what you think of in a traditional cake. And the apple really helps with the overall flavor, in my opinion. I've had it both ways in NOLA, so it didn't make me no nevermind, as they would say. And I ended up getting the baby in the cake piece I got, so good luck and tidings for me in the coming year to boot! Great service, good offerings, reasonable prices, I will be back again for my other pastry needs. Hope that helps someone in their decision to go.

I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.

We also grabbed a flaky pastry in the attached bakery (I didn't catch the name), but it was perfectly buttery and light. Service is always friendly and efficient, even when they're busy, and the vibe feels very local and welcoming.

The carnitas themselves are the star--tender, juicy pork that's been slow-cooked to perfection with that signature crispy edge on some pieces, delivering rich, savory flavor without being overly greasy. It's seasoned just right, with a nice balance of porky goodness and subtle spices that let the meat shine. Wrapped in a large, fresh flour tortilla (they make their own in-house, which always helps), it's stuffed generously with the classics: fluffy Mexican rice, creamy refried or whole beans (depending on your preference, but both work great), chopped onions, cilantro, and a solid dose of salsa. I went with their green salsa for a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness perfectly, plus a dollop of sour cream and cheese for that creamy melt. No skimping on portions here--it's hearty and filling, easily a meal that satisfies for hours. At around $10 (give or take, based on current pricing), it's a great value in the area. The burrito holds together well without falling apart mid-bite, and the overall balance of textures--tender meat, soft rice/beans, crisp onions--makes every mouthful enjoyable. If you're in the mood for classic carnitas done right in a casual, bakery-taqueria spot with great salsas and a friendly vibe, this one's definitely worth grabbing. I'd rate it 4.5 out of 5--only docking half a point because it's not reinventing the wheel, but it's executing the traditional style exceptionally well. Highly recommend if you're near 728 N Tustin St in Orange! Pair it with an horchata, yum

Santa Ana downtown is all metered street parking so be prepared to pay for parking. The stand is located right in front of the market so it isn't too hard to find. It's in the market so there's open seating and can get quite loud if there's a lot of people. Unfortunately, I was greeted very poorly when I got here. No one was available to help and periodically she would yell over to see if I was ready to order in a very bad tone. When I asked about the cheesecake selection, she said "you have to wait 30 min." I then asked what flavor it is and she said "pandan pineapple" in an annoyed tone. I asked if there were any other flavors and she said "no because I still need to decorate. You should really come later at night." I'm used to bakeries selling out later in the day but I guess it's opposite here. As if it couldn't get worse, I asked her if there are any coffees she recommended, and she said "viet coffee." I then said viet coffee is usually too strong for me and asked if there were any other recommendations and she doubled down and used a horrible tone to say "I already said I recommend the viet coffee." Therefore I opted to just not order coffee at this time. I ended up still ordering 2 cookies: miso toffee which was too firm and the ube coconut which actually was well balanced and had a nice coconut filling. I really hope they improve their customer service.
