    Chocolate chip cookie is slightly too moist for my liking, but overall taste is great!

French workshop desserts taste the same to me, as if they all have the same base: the cookies, the tarts, muffins etc... but it's a good place to sit, enjoy a tea with something to munch on. The lemon tart was quiet nice. It was a good balance of tart, sour and sweet. I like the marshmallow fluff that was toasted on top of it. The raspberry madeline was a sweet butter cookie, crunchy on the edges with some parts being soft. It was okay. We also got tea.

    I love their crunchy iced latte--it tastes delicious! However, I placed my order on the app and…read morestill had to wait 12 minutes for a single coffee. The service was very slow because there were only two associates making drinks for a huge line of customers. They definitely need more people working inside during peak times. Managers, please add extra staff! The poor gentleman making the coffee was struggling, though he did politely apologize for the delay. I reassured him that it wasn't his fault; having worked in coffee shops during the morning rush myself, I could tell they were severely understaffed. I really hope management realizes how much this impacts the business Saturdays and Sundays should always be fully staffed!

I didn't know she just closed up. Jessica took a moment and asked if I was paying buy a credit card she take me and I was very grateful for that. I would have understood if she didn't want to because we all been there. Once we clock out we are in home mode. I was picking up for my daughter in law. She was very happy so Jessica need to be credited for outstanding service. Now the macaron itself tasted pretty good. I had tried the lemon flavor. I'm not a huge fan in general but I can see why people like them. They are very light and the flavors are not overpowering. In the middle it has a whip cream type of softness. They come in a really cute packaging which would make a nice gift/treat.

It was so yum and all my kids loved it so it was a no brained - got the pack of 12. It is slightly cheaper buying a set of 6 or 12. The choice of flavors are amazing and just perfect. They are also lightly bigger than the normal common macaroons you may typically see. The employee was also very delightful and friendly. She helped me decide and answered all my questions. They also have a rewards program which is great as I will definitely be going back for more!

Soooo because I loved the one in Melville I said let me give this one a try. In the meantime my buddy JD from from Cali had informed me I need to try their egg salad sandwich. I told him I'm not really an egg salad sandwich girl. To which he replied, "Hear me out. Just try this egg salad. You won't regret it!" So I promised him when I got the urge I would go back to this Paris baguette spot and try their egg salad sandwich. Long story long. I am now a lover of Paris Baguette egg salad sandwiches! I had to bring some to my dad so he could taste it to which he devoured it, so that was my answer. He loved it as much as I did! So now as for the pastries! These pastries are reminiscent of those Cali pastries that my other dude from Cali JoJo fully enjoys at all times and I was so happy I found this place. But I love the fact that even though they looked pretty, they taste just as good as they looked. Because I've been to other so-called French bakeries with desserts that looked beautiful, but had no flavor. This is not that place. The pastries here are exceptional and prices are quite reasonable for what you get in my opinion. GET THE EGG SALAD SANDWICH!! JD was right on point! You'll thank him profusely! I did!6-13-2026

We did a complimentary tasting with Pedro to decide what flavors would best represent us in cake form and it was such a cute experience. We decided on a quilted 4 tier cake with white buttercream filled with vanilla mousse and dulce de leche. The flavors were absolutely perfect and the cake was so visually appealing. I'm drooling just thinking about it lol. Thank you for creating such an unforgettably delicious and truly beautiful cake for our winter wonderland wedding!

When we arrived, we noticed flies inside the bakery, as well as a spill on the floor. We were then asked to sit directly in front of the area where the spill was located, which was uncomfortable given the circumstances. In addition, our interaction with a staff mmbr felt very rushed. She spoke extremely quickly, and the presentation came across as somewhat rehearsed and impersonal. We understand that she may have been trying to efficiently walk us through the process, but we were hoping for more of a personal consultation and a genuine sense of care and enthusiasm for such an important part of the wedding. The place needs an all around makeover. Btw, The cake was plain and the frosting was nothing to brag about.

    I wanted so much to like Francesco's. It was our first time visiting and the bakery held an old…read moreschool charm, but after trying a variety of items, a 2.5 seems most fitting. The displays were filled with a nice variety of butter cookies, cakes, doughnuts and other classic pastries. Everything "looked" good, but the taste was just average. I would have pushed it to a 3 star review, but the young man behind the counter wasn't very friendly. The store was as empty when we went in so it wasn't like he was busy trying to take orders quickly. We told the young man that we would be ordering a variety of butter cookies and he looked at us annoyed and continued to serve us with a similar attitude. I guess maybe this is the expected service from the generation nowadays? I just expected more from a place that appeared so charming. The rainbow cookies seem to have anise in it, which is a bit odd for a rainbow cookies, and the chocolate coating was not very cocoa forward. It was also lacking jam. We were also really excited about the chocolate sandwiched butter cookies, but while the cookie itself was fresh, the ganache was missing the rich chocolatey flavor. Instead, it almost tasted like carob or some sort of diluted chocolate instead. The cookies itself were also not buttery enough, though they did taste freshly baked. All in all, Francesco isn't something to write home about and it's not a place I'd visit again.

    Francesco's Bakery NEVER delivered our wedding cake…read more We ordered our wedding cake from Francesco's and called two days in advance to confirm delivery. The staff assured us it would arrive early, around 11:00 a.m. However, by 1:00 p.m. on our wedding day, the cake still hadn't arrived. When we called the bakery, they told us they couldn't get in touch with the driver. It took another hour before they realized the driver never had the cake and that it had been left at the bakery the entire time. At that point, it was around 2:30 p.m. Not only was this incredibly frustrating, but it also caused unnecessary stress on our wedding day--something no couple should have to deal with. Unfortunately, we had to pick up the wedding cake ourselves. Since then, we've spent the past week trying to get in contact with someone to address what happened, with no success. I asked for the owner's phone number and left a voicemail two days ago, but still haven't received any response. Overall, this was a VERY disappointing experience. I would NOT recommend anyone to order from this bakery.
