    The French Workshop is always a treat! This location has a huge variety of pastries and cakes, both sweet and savory, and everything looks just as amazing as it tastes. They serve coffee as well. There's plenty of seating inside, even though this spot is a bit smaller than the Bayside location. They also have outdoor seating. The space is decorated beautifully for the holiday season, making it feel warm and festive. Service also never disappoints.

    The French Workshop is your go-to for fabulous caffeinated drinks, desserts and sandwiches! I've stopped by for birthday treats, macarons, cold sandwiches for lunch, as well as hot/iced cappuccinos and matcha lattes. Service is pretty quick and usually friendly and the space is cute, but seating can fill up quickly!

    Stopped in this afternoon for some desserts. Got a Dubai chocolate croissant for myself and a cheesecake brownie for my husband. I noticed right away that the croissant was stale, like the croissant was hard to bite into. I asked my husband if his brownie seemed stale and he said that it did. This is a first for both of us and it seems to be a place that's always busy and packed, so we're not sure why this happened with both items. Hopefully it's just a one time occurrence.

    one of the best local bakeries in town. they have a huge variety of savory & sweet pastries which is great because you're never bored and there's always something you're looking forward to trying. the crème brûlée cheesecake may be my favorite on their counters though. the service is QUICK! so be sure to know what you want when you're ready to order. it's a great place to sit down with a friend & catch up. if you're with a big group, the outdoor seating seems to be more efficient than indoors!

    Mixed fruit tart and millie feuille

    When I passed by this shop I knew I had to visit! Entering I was overwhelmed by all the pastries and options available. The service was quick and staff were nice. I tried the fruit tart and the millie feuille. Fruit tart was my favorite with ripe fruit, not overly sweet pastry cream, and a well baked tart. The millie feuille was good aswell. Would come back to try the other options.

    Went here for a quick coffee date with the wife. The pastries and food was good. The coffee was even better quick service which is especially great with how packed it gets. Would definitely recommend. I wish I could try every single pastry and delectable in there with more visits. I hope to try most of them lol

    I was going to go to a café, not too far away, but there was a long line so I opted for the French workshop. The place was crowded which I expected. But there was a table readily available so we took it. I don't have to say I asked one of the staff to pass me a wipe and I would've wiped the table. She asked me if I wanted a table clean? I said yes. She said she'll send someone over to clean the table. This person never arrive. So neither did I get the wipe to wipe the table myself nor did someone come over to clean the table. So we have to sit at the dirty table. The only one available. Would I go back? Never. If I'm willing to wipe the table myself, why not just give me the wipe? I ordered a cupcake and a coffee. I asked for a vanilla cupcake and the girl proceeded to hand me and Apple spiced cupcake. I asked her, are you sure that's vanilla or apple? She said oh this is all we have. I said so you do or do not have vanilla? She said no. I think if I ask for a vanilla cupcake, you should say you don't have vanilla and offer me some other suggestion instead of slapping a completely different cupcake on my plate And pretending it's OK. I like bakeries. I go for the baked goods. So I am very specific when I want something, and I expect to get what I want and what I pay for. There was an extremely long wait time to get our drinks. For the price I don't think I would visit this establishment again. The other issue is that there are no napkins. You have to ask them in order to get napkins. They're very stingy with their napkins.

    Love the sandwiches, service is welcoming, and it's a cozy spot. Pictured is one of my favorite go-to desserts! Don't forget to grab a drink!

    Been wanting to check this out and had the opportunity to do so yesterday morning while our SUV was at Mazda for its check up service appointment. I just came back from Paris last week so my expectations would be pretty high. The place is spacious and immediately to the right you'll see the space for tables and it's pretty crowded. The vibe is certainly not relaxing but like a bit of a mad rush as people are standing close wanting tables from the next ones leaving. To the left is all the queue and there are certain sections, starting off with cakes, then sandwiches and cookies then french pastries like croissants etc and the 2 cashiers. If you're ordering multiple items, try to remember it once you get to the cashier because nothing is written and documented, I actually forgot a cookie. So for me, it felt frantic and rushed and can be more organized. The coffee section feels lacking in staff and there's just one barista and one other assisting on milk etc. This took longer. I will say though that the croissant, chocolate croissant, almond croissant, and chocolate beignets were delicious! My husband liked the pistachio cake too. The hazelnut cupcake was too dry. We decided to get more stuff to enjoy for the remainder of the weekend. Looking forward to come back and try more stuff, just wish it can be a little more relaxing so it feels like you're transported to France temporarily. Oh and both the Hot white chocolate and Nutella hot chocolate were good. Not too sweet but wish it was warmer.

    Front Entrance. Place is super clean and has an array of goodies. Just don't even try to talk to the Baristas.

    This place is great. I have been coming to the French Workshop since they opened. I live 5 minutes away. I cannot give them 5 stars because the Baristas are Not nice. Most of them have a bad, negative attitude. Not sure why this is the case. Almost all of the barista's seem very unhappy and it shows. The last time I was there, I asked a question & the barista was Not Nice at all!!! Nasty. I had to mention this because it is such a nice place with great tables outside on the corner of 7 th Street but the bad barista attitude makes me want to go down the block. Nonetheless, I will return for my favorite iced coffee.

    iced latte , egg white wrap
    Maria S.

    I came back to this location after not being back in a while for some lunch and tried new items! I got the egg white wrap which I loved as a healthier option. I also tried the Iced honey latte and it was great as well. I would come back for this latte again. The service was also friendly and fast. Despite people coming and going the tables were clean as well. I recommend!

    My hubby had found this little gem last year and we decided to take a little trip this past…read moreweekend. Not a bad drive from mid-Queens, it was about 20-30 minutes out of our way. While on a corner on a pretty busy street, the location seemed slightly obscure. No parking - just 2 or 3 spots in front of the establishment. We came mid-day on a gloomy Sunday in February...so we didn't have an issue parking right in the front. We were greeted by the friendly associate. There were lots of great-looking gelato flavors which the associate also allowed us to sample first (very kind). She was very patient with us and really seemed to enjoy working there. We're BIG hazelnut enthusiasts, so we each had one scoop of hazelnut flavor and one of the Rocher (hazelnut) flavor. They also had an amazing fig and honey gelato flavors which was absolutely delicious. They offer 4 sizes - kids' size, and then the usual - small, medium and large. The small is 2 generous scoops - and that's what we went with. The overall experience didn't disappoint at all; we thoroughly enjoyed the treat, my hubby had an espresso coffee as well (very good) and we got a kids cup of vanilla for our pup. The prices were also decent and for this type of experience, I will gladly support a small business. I definitely recommend checking out this little gem. Will return once the weather get warmer!

    This is by far my favorite ice cream/ gelato place! I always tell my friends and family about it…read more The place itself is so cute, with seating on the inside and outside.
