Love the vibe of this cozy spot! Parking is a little tight but otherwise in a convenient location. We came here on a weekend and ordered a chocolate croissant to share, a savory crepe with egg and Swiss cheese and the Frenchie sandwich. We sat in the back garden/ home decor section which was gorgeous! Generous portions and you can tell everything was fresh. Would come back again and also come to shop from the home decor store! read more

Slow service from kitchen but food is amazing and the coffees are great. Surprisingly there are no restrooms

Love it here. I've been there many times over the years and everything is always good. Bacon/egg/cheese croissant is my go to and then a dessert. The almond tarte is my favorite but no longer available. Hopefully they'll bring it back one day. I feel like I'm in Europe when I come here. read more

If you don't like sweet coffee, I would not get coffee. It is a cute cafe with a few seats. Try not getting a cake!!

The French Market is trendy, it's very nice inside. Lots of good healthy choices. I went with the "French Market" grain bowl and my wife had the chef salad. The grain bowl was filled with healthy items. Shredded Brussels sprouts, broccoli, red quinoa, pumpkin seeds, figs, and a really nice piece of burrata to add some decadence. I felt very healthy after finishing it. My wife enjoyed her salad as well. Nice place to get a meal near the beach. read more

Was our fav spot. Took friends & visitors there, it was a special place to bring people, but sadly it has been very disappointing the last couple of times we have been there Cold latte, sad little sandwich, béchamel tomato delish goodness was lackluster. All becoming crazy expensive Unfortunately won't go there anymore read more

Hungry for breakfast one morning, we passed by the French market in Rumson, New Jersey. The inside and outside is very cute. The atmosphere looked very nice and rustic. However, when we sat down and ordered our food, the staff did not deliver for 45 minutes to an hour. the owner was very apologetic for missing our order. As a consolation, she gave us two free pastries to go. We may go back to try it again some other time. read more

First of all, the ambience is incredible. The smell alone is worth the trip. Also the staff looks kind of cool in their French mime style striped outfits. The food is great. The carrot cake is delicious, and the almond croissant is to die for. I'd love to go back again soon. Bravo! read more

French Market is an adorable cafe/shop with a cozy feeling inside and out. I ordered a medium coffee with the La Figue (ham, brie, and fig jam crepe), which came out to $19. When I went to fill my cup, both their urns (one medium roast and the other dark) were out. I was able to have it immediately filled behind the counter, however did not see anyone refill/replace the empty dispensers. My crepe came with a small side of greens, making a complete meal for me. The crepe was filled with loads of Parisian ham, chunks of brie, and dollops of jam, enough to feel sated. It all went together well and the ingredients tasted like they were high quality, but I have had similar crepes that I've enjoyed more. The crepe itself seemed like it was precooked then stuffed and reheated to order vs everything made to order. I would give this place a 3.5 - 3.75 stars if I could. My overall experience wasn't the best but also wasn't terrible. The food didn't quite hit the mark for me, but I loved how the cafe brought the outside in as the green and light in the back created a nice ambiance. read more

Pastries are stale - they try to refresh them from unsold lots the prior day(s). Therefore, some of the food isn't what it seems to be. It is overpriced. An unfortunate downturn. read more

I've been to the colts neck location, and while this place seems a tad smaller, I felt like they offered more. I ordered a coffee, a couple of croissants and an Asiago loaf, for around $20. Croisssnts were quite unique, a lemon and thyme and a strawberry one. You could tell they made the strawberry filling themselves, it wasn't too sweet and there were chunks of strawberry in it. The coffee was okay, though I wish it wasn't a self serve container. I don't really care for the bread, it was a bit stodgy, probably from the cheese. But a nice spot in the back (and some in the front) with lots of light! read more

My kind of place. Tiny little shop in Rumson New Jersey-from the street it looks like a tiny house with a giant tree covered in ivy out front. Inside delicious delectables abound.....linzer cookies, light and flaky croissants, spinach stuffed pastries and YUM sandwiches. My spinach lattice topped pastry was SO simply good-light, buttery and filled with spinach and cheese. Very much enjoyed my Brie, fig jam and salty ham sandwich on crispy bread..... The back room has the feel of a little French garden....very nice place to sit and enjoy your food and shop for special candles, soaps and hand creams. Adore these small family owned businesses that serve simple perfection. Parking available on the side. read more

What happened? This used to be one of our favorite places to stop into. The ambiance is great, and the food was great. However, on the recent visit, it was a major disappointment. We ordered a ham sandwich ($16) and it was served with a single slice of deli ham. The quality has significantly decreased, and the prices have increased. read more

Very beautiful place! I had egg& cheese on a crepe which was very nice.& coffee was good. Outdoor seating area was nice. No bathroom available for customers. read more

I went by the new Colts Neck location on a rainy day around 12 PM for some French Onion Soup. I had heard only good things so I was excited to go, especially because I love that soup and there aren't many authentic French markets/restaurants around. As stated in other reviews, the ambiance is outstanding. It's very minimalist, but you feel transported outside of Colts Neck with the French music, French paintings, and gorgeous array of desserts on display. It was very clean inside which is a plus for me. I went to go order and was informed they did not have any French onion soup. I was very disappointed and confused as to how it had run out so quickly, but oh well. as something that is supposed to be a staple, I was frustrated there was none for lunch. I ended up getting La Figue sandwich which is ham, Brie, and fig jam on a baguette. It was amazing! It wasn't too big and the proportions were great. I also got a chocolate croissant which was so delicious. It was buttery and again, not overly large which I appreciate. I ate there and was pleased at the dining space, with its plants and paintings. I will say that the crowd really makes the experience. The area was packed and because it is a small space, it was extremely loud. Like, so loud I couldn't hear myself think. It's no fault of the market, just something I experienced. If it wasn't as packed, I would have had a super relaxing lunch. I will go back, hopefully they have the soup! read more

Visiting Jersey from out of state, really hard to find good restaurants for such a short trip. My friend and I took a chance picking this place. Very satisfied, I got the sauasage egg and cheese on a croissant and was so happy with the egg being cooked perfectly, nice and fluffy and the cheese melted. My friend got the mushroom quiche and was also satisfied. For a treat to go I got a giant chocholate chip cookie that was also delicious. The atmosphere of the interior is very cozy, prices are affordable, and employees are friendly. Very good find, if I visit the area again Im definitely coming back. Also for the coffee being freshly brewed, its so hard to find a good iced coffee that isnt watered down, they also nailed it on the spot for the coffee, a very great way to start my morning!! read more

Very quaint quiet clean relaxed gourmet café. Everything looks so delicious. I had the croissant right out of the oven amazing! I know it's nitpicking but I wish they would've served me my food on a plate instead of out of a box. I did tell him I was staying. Otherwise no complaints the food in the coffee were on the money. read more

The food and atmosphere. It's a quaint little spot that does pastries right & creative yogurt parfaits!!!! Deliciously amazing.

Overpriced for what you get. Got the Parisian Ham and cheese omelette. The cheese was a cheap processed single. As a European the French would be ashamed to have their country associated with food like this. read more

Way overpriced. Food made me sick several times. The "children" that work there do not know how to handle food correctly. They handle food with their barehands. I noticed there is constant turnover with their staff. They are very friendly. Food is bland but so expensive. Cute place to dine inside. read more

The French Marketis lacking, lacking a lot. I guess if you but a mediocre eatery in a high end town where people will throw money on anything before they cook then you will have a successful business. The salads are soaked in oil, omelets drenched in butter and oil from the wilted salad greens served in the same container. Their bakery items are borderline terrible. French market, I assume because of your lack of competition in the area you are still open. I cannot think of one thing I have had that I would love to have again. I recently came in and bought a bunch of mini cakes, my family and I tried 2 and then trashed the other 4. Very disappointing. read more

Very cute place with delicious food and baked goods. The bakery is in the front and there's a little green house café area in the back. The food is definitely overpriced but I guess you're paying for the atmosphere. Definitely recommend the French onion soup. They also sell French home goods/beauty stuff read more

Very good! I came here for a quick lunch today and I got the ham and Brie sandwich with fig spread which was delicious. I also got an almond croissant which was fantastic. I agree that it is a bit pricey for a grab and go lunch place, but it was very good and something that the area needed. There isn't a place like it around here and I appreciate that it offers something that no one else does. Also the vibes inside and outside are adorable! read more

Pastries looked amazing but when I got them home the tarts-the lemon & key lime & pear & fruit tarts were mostly all crust with barely any filling! Horrible!! I spent $89 !! SO DISSAPPOINTED!! Lemon curd was like sand && the pastry cream was like glue. Awful! I took one bite & threw it out. Couldn't eat it. I won't go to this place again. Over priced & underfilled! See my pics of them. read more

Little slice of Paris in a small Jersey shore town. I needed fresh bread the morning of Thanksgiving, but every place was closed due to the holiday. I saw on Instagram that the French Market was open all morning, so I decided to stop by. When I walked through the front door, I was so pleasantly surprised! Between the smell of fresh baguettes, French music playing, and nice employees welcoming me- I began to love it here! I was amazed by the number of specialty cheeses, breads, pies, cookies, pastries, and cakes. Everything on display looked delicious. The menu was also appetizing with every crepe, pancake, or sandwich you could imagine. I made myself a coffee which was filled with flavor. Then, I ordered my fresh bread to go. While the employee was grabbing it for me, I was looking at the pastries and couldn't resist! I got the coffee scone and butter scone to go. It was delicious. When I visited the French Market, I truly felt like I was in a European cafe. I can't wait to go back again! read more

Not quite a hidden gem, because it's definitely too popular to be hidden. But it's still the type of place that you'd drive right by if you weren't looking for it in the first place. Up front is a patisserie/fromagerie combo, with fantastic pastries, cheeses, sandwiches, quiches, etc. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of some of the items: the Parisian ham on a buttered roll is fantastic! In the back of the store is a combination space that serves as a greenhouse for fresh flowers, a soap/candle/lotions store, and a small indoor dining room. So quaint, so beautifully decorated, and the fragrances from all the soaps, candles, and beauty products tickle the air while you enjoy your food. On this visit, we opted to share the croque madame and the quiche lorraine. Both were great. The croque madame was prepared perfectly, and when that yolk broke and drizzled over the sandwich, it was poetic. The quiche had a perfectly light egg filling within a succulent, dense, buttery crust. It was the kind of dish that, even when you're stuffed, you can't bear to see that last bite go to waste, so you cram it down to avoid regret. We also had some of their fresh orange juice this time - we had never had it before - and it was amazing. So much so that we grabbed another one from the cooler on our way out (along with the Nutella beignets and a huge chocolate chip cookie!). If there's any bad food here, we have yet to find it. read more

I just discovered the French Market in Colts neck when it opened a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it. The staff, the owners, the quality of food and drinks are absolutely amazing. You will not be disappointed. It's a little slice of Paris right in the middle of New Jersey. a must go! read more

The French Market - a cup of coffee on a table - Gift Shops Near Me - Rumson, New Jersey

We wanted to grab a quick breakfast before heading to the beach and this spot was excellent. First off they had oat milk as an alternative milk selection for coffee, secondly their crepes were delicious. Simple ingredients cooked to perfection. We had a crepe with egg, spinach and goat cheese- as well as a crepe with turkey, brie, apple and honey mustard. The eggs were fluffy, the ingredients fresh. The egg, spinach and cheese croissant was also very fulfilling. We tried a burrata with fig jam in a cranberry walnut bread sandwich which was excellent- the first time we got it, we were given 2 big orbs of burrata. The second time we ordered it, each sandwich had half a burrata orb. It was good either way, but very sweet. The quiches (mushroom was my favorite) were perfect. The only miss here was the cheesecake we had. It was pretty, the flavors layered and you could taste the lavender, but the graham cracker crust was overwhelming to the rest of the flavors and I wouldn't order it again for this reason. It was dense, small, and overpowered by cinnamon. We did sit outside socially distanced from the next table over. They also have a jasmine plant near the entrance that smells so good- if you don't have allergies- don't miss smelling this jasmine plant! read more

The French Market recently catered an event for me and it was AMAZING! Not only was the food fresh and delicious but presentation was exceptional. They worked with me to plan the perfect party menu and every detail was attended to! Exceeded my expectations. I'm still receiving compliments. I highly recommend. read more

I feel bad posting this as the owners clearly note they are severely understaffed but OMG, definitely go somewhere else for your morning routine. After paying a whopping $25 for two coffees, a quiche and a side salad, it took 45 minutes to get said quiche and they forgot to give me my side salad altogether. Pandemic aside, their system seems super flawed as two out of three employees didn't know how to use the POS system and seem to prioritize online/phone orders over in person fulfillment. Also was unclear why the young woman was refilling croissants versus actually being helpful and moving things along for the crowded establishment. As someone who has worked in the service industry, I was dumb founded by the lack of courtesy as well. It's a cute place and the food looked/was good. Unfortunately, I'm not too optimistic that they can get their act together and turn this mess around. read more

Today I went to the French Market in Colt's Neck. I got the Le Frenchie sandwich, whole wheat baguette and cranberry walnut bread that came to close to $30. Bread is good, but the sandwich that I ordered literally had just ham and some Brie on it. It was good, but very overpriced. They don't even give you plates. I get that it's a grab and go kind of place, but if I'm paying boutique prices, you really should give me a plate to eat on. I can't picture this place staying open through 2022. You should consider collaborating with your local vendors (Delicious Orchards, the brewery, just to name a couple). At the very least, get some paper plates for your customers. read more

My first time here, idk why this place would be downgraded. It's really good. Big menu, delicious crepes! Decadent desserts (mmmm brownie) that they all make in-house. Lots of tea and coffee options. Friendly service. Lots of cute trinkets for sale. Very French feel and has outdoor seating, albeit not a lot of seating altogether and my understanding is Sunday's are packed. read more

Very nice place for a breakfast, lunch or coffee in Rumson. On the negative side, the staff can be clueless. Today, it was raining and all the tables inside were occupied including two that were being used by employees. Instead of giving up the tables to paying customers ($50 for lunch), the workers continued to use the tables to do paperwork while we had to wipe down the outside tables due to the rain. It is a small negative but a sign that the staff need better training. read more

I am updating my review on the French market due to the service. I was just there again the other day and was given the completely wrong order. This is not the first time this has happened. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go back after realizing it was not the right order so just ate the sandwiches that were given to us. I have had them forget to give me parts of my order in the past or just give me the wrong items. That being said, I still love the food at the French market so I continue to return. I hope that they come up with a better system for orders. read more
