If you want an over the top amazing birthday cake for your loved one, then this is your place. It's hard for me to be 100% impressed when it comes to desserts but WOW, every single cake I've order from the French bread factory has been above par. Not only that but the owners and employees are the absolute sweetest people who go out of their way to make sure everything is done exactly how you want. I will continue to order cakes and other desserts for my loved ones from them. read more

Hands down the best cakes I have ever tasted. The freshness and moistness is out of this world. I can not see myself ordering from anywhere else. They also offer a variety of different goods(literally a one stop shop), donuts, bagels, danishes, croissants, turnovers, hamburger buns, hot dog buns, and so much more. read more

Very hard to deal with this business when trying to order a cake. Process is over the phone and too much room for confusion. Cake itself was dry and not good. Upcharged for decorations without agreement and only one person can deal with credit card refunds so waiting 3 weeks for their vacation is stupid and unprofessional. read more

Each flower was carefully created and making this cake a piece of art! I will definitely come back! Everyone was amazed by the cake specially my daughter! read more

CAUTION!! Most of the 4/5star ratings post are from employees and friends with fake reviews. The staff never responds to emails or phones. I managed to drive to place and ordered cake for my daughter's birthday and the experience was very bad. Below 4 reasons : 1. Misspelled the Name on the cake - in the instructions it was clearly written to spell the name.The finishing after correcting the spelling was not very good. Though I still accepted the cake because it was my last resort and mistakes do happen. 2. Printed Alphabet Sheet - Not sure who gave this crazy idea of having a printed sheet for alphabets on the cake which is not soluble in the mouth on the cake is a very bad and unpleasant experience. No friends and guests liked this sheet. 3. Dye used on the cake - Cake was ordered for green color. The Green Color was so bright and a very bad food color for kids to eat where you see their color on their tongue.The color should have been lighter than this very bright Color. I hate to even post the pictures of the cake for reviews. 4. Cake spouge - The cake spouge was very dry to taste. The sponge cake inside none of my friends and guests liked it. Overall, this was my worst experience. read more

I would absolutely recommend this bakery. We placed an order on Monday for a Saturday morning pickup. Carlos sat with me and went over the order to set my expectations based on my picture. They did a cake with matching cup cakes and cake pops. Carlos followed up and called with pricing and the invoice. We picked up on Saturday and everything exceeded expectations. Our guests loved the cake. It was perfect read more

First, there appears to be some questionable 5 star reviews that are from employees which is affiliated with the business. This may violate Yelp's Content Guidelines. Second, their pastries/cakes are of low quality, not impressed. Third, they should practice business etiquette. Would not recommend this company. read more

I had hard time placing even an order with them. They are very unreliable . I have called them many times and also sent them emails.They told they would have the cake and asked me to send the details but never sent me any confirmation. I had tasted the cake at my friend's party and liked it and planned on ordering for my son's birthday. Horrible customer service and communication on their part. they always say they will reach out and never do. If you are looking for a reliable one , dont even go there . Very disappointed !! read more

This is some of the best French bread that I have ever experienced. I got a bag of the Parisienne French and the special French that I used as the bread for roast beef po boy. Great stuff. The ladies on the phone and Carlos took great care of me. They are a full service wholesale bakery. They do it all. My order was probably the smallest order all day and they still treated me great. I will be getting my cakes pastries and french bread from them. I suggest you do the same. read more

As a last and only resort after an other bakery turned down our custom order for my LO 1st year birthday due to some miss communication at last moment, we found this place and is like heaven finding...they not only could make our custom order 2 level cake with wonderful flavors within a day(1 and half day in precise) but also beat the pricing almost by half compared to all other bakeries on an apple to apple comparison. As people say,things happen for good. If not other bakery pulled out our order, we would not found this Gem. IMPORTANTLY, all my birthday guests liked the flavors(tiramisu & tres leches) and freshness of every bite. I proudly recommend people who read this to definitely give them a try. Note: They were genuine and honest on telling upfront on what can or cannot be done on custom order (in my case the lead time is only a day though we were very satisfied on end product but plan at least a week or 10 day a head if you are heavy on customization ) read more

I wanted to recognize The French Bread Factory for the most amazing birthday cake they created for my daughter's 23rd birthday. It was not only gorgeous but delicious too! It certainly was the highlight of the party and quite the conversation piece amongst her friends. I have ordered cakes from many bakeries over the years and this cake was by far the best in all categories! Additionally, the customer service provided by both Carlos and Napolean was exceptional. They took their time to explain everything and delivered the cake in a timely manner. I will definitely continue to use them for everything and anything and highly recommend them if you are looking for a top notch bakery. Thank you French Bread Factory! :) read more

I stumbled across French Bread Bakery the day before Thanksgiving because I was looking for Thanksgiving dessert and have been unimpressed with the local pie shops. Unbeknownst to me, this was mostly a whole sale and pre-order business. However, I believe the manager and/or owner on duty made me feel more than welcome and went out of his way to make sure I left with desserts. I will definitely be patronizing French Bread Bakery again when I need pastries, cake, and/or dessert and with pre-ordering. ;) read more

PERFECT French baguette! Crust and air pockets are classic style baking. After YEARS of looking for this, it's in my area! And desserts?! Definitely going back. FYI, they also visit the Brambleton Sunday Farmer's Market. Open 8-11 am on Saturday, 8-4 weekdays. read more

Ever since the office was located at Tyson corner I've been following there service. ..Thanks again to all the staff that make all this happen...LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT... read more

Very disappointed in this bakery. It had great reviews and I took a chance by ordering my husband's birthday cake. Placed the order and was told it would be ready by 6 am the following day. All I had to do was email images of the design, which I did. I called the following morning and was advised there was no cake made and no record of the order, despite remembering speaking with me and receiving my email, per their request. Was then advised they were not willing to try the design that was chosen. I definitely would not recommend this bakery. Very unrelaiable. read more

Delivery truck blasted loud latin music at 3AM while making a delivery in front of my apartment complex.

We ordered a cake from here. It was a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. Well, at least, I think it was supposed to be chocolate frosting (it was a light brown but had zero taste). It was horrible and was probably one of the worst cakes I've ever had. From the other reviews, it seems they have some other good baked goods. So, I guess, if you stay away from cakes, you'll probably be fine. read more

If you can avoid using this company I would advise it. The customer service is inconsistent and ignorant on the products they sell. If you have a problem, good luck. Not to mention most of the products taste terrible or look like a kindergarten class had a field trip that day and helped ice cookies. read more
