I've been here several times in the last few years and I've been disappointed more times than not. First, the good: Cheesecake slices are solid. Chocolate mousse, when they have it, is fantastic. Almond tart is my fave, light and just the right touch of sweet. Depends on the day: Sometimes the service is friendly and knowledgeable, sometimes its slow and apathetic. Croissants are sometimes fresh and wonderful, sometimes they seem like day-olds. And now the bad: Mini raspberry tarts...the part I ate before seeing the moldy berries was good (this happened 2x, so I'm not gonna try again). The last time i went, service was bad, like they were annoyed with my question bad, and there was a fly in the case. I left without ordering anything. I refuse to spend my money somewhere I don't feel welcomed. read more

Love this place. Been going here for years. It's quaint, homey and full of tasty treats. Big selection of cakes, tarts and pastries. The counter person is helpful. Mostly it's quick, but sometimes several customers come in at once and because each order is filled individually, there may be a short wait. read more

I've always passed by this location when they have already closed, but was finally able to go Sunday 07/27 early in the day. Their pastries look all very nice, so do their regular size cakes. They didn't have many breads or cookies left when I looked at the display, which it was fine, since I was more in the mood for something sweet. I ordered their crème brûlée and a lemon cake/mousse and honestly they were just okay. The crème brûlée had a consistency of pudding instead of a custard, and it was very bland, the only good thing was the caramelized sugar on top. The lemon mousse had a what I think maybe was a spongy cake on the bottom which was average, but the mousse part was actually really good. If they sold the mousse in the same tins that they sell their crème brûlée I think it would be much better. I personally don't like chocolate and lemon together, I don't think the combination goes well, and around the lemon mousse there was a milk chocolate shell which I just thought it was unnecessary, but I know that's a matter of preference. It was not awful, but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

I'm really disappointed with my experience here. I purchased a couple slices of cheesecake and before even taking a bite, I noticed visible mold inside the slice. There were clearly discolored gray/white spots baked into the cheesecake -- obvious enough that I didn't even feel safe tasting it. This is a serious food safety concern. Cheesecake is dairy-based and should never be sold past freshness, especially with visible mold. I had to throw everything away. For a bakery with their prices and reputation, this level of quality control is unacceptable. Please check your product rotation and storage more carefully. I won't be coming back. read more

Stopped in for a little something sweet after brunch. It's a quaint coffee shop/bakery that offered a very big selections of pastries. The selection they offered were all appetizing as each was calling my name. Ended up picking up a slice of a chocolate cake, and chocolate double cream puff, cream puff, ham and cheese croissant as well as a tart. read more

I go to this little village area twice a year for my tax preparation. I usually stop in for a cream puff or two and some macaroons as I did yesterday. It's seems to be a popular place for the neighborhood which makes it appealing to me. I'm hoping to stop in again in the coming days and want to sit and enjoy coffee and a different pastry with my wife. The staff were pleasant yesterday and attended to my choices diligently. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Just also heads up, the Russian cashier also has issues with pretty women. She likes to get attention with male only so maybe work at a bar or something not a run down fake French cafe. Horrible Customer Service Experience The Russian woman working at the counter was extremely rude and dismissive. Her attitude was completely inappropriate for a service setting--especially in cafe, where basic courtesy is expected. She appeared anxious and confrontational over small mistakes, such as when I accidentally picked up the wrong coffee, and treated other customers the same way. She also flirted with men and my partner but extremely rude to women. When she smiled at my partner he noticed she had green all over her teeth. What's worse, I overheard her making disrespectful, racially insensitive remarks during another interaction. The café itself was also in poor condition--dirty floors, trash left around, and tables that hadn't been wiped down. The pastries were dry and tasteless, and I ended up throwing mine away along with the coffee. This place seriously needs better management, staff training, and cleaning standards. I would not recommend coming here. read more

Excellent mom and pop and family business. Great stuff I've been coming here for 22 years and our family really Love this place read more

In search of a good assortment of croissants? In Los Angeles? Not the hinterlands? That includes savory as well as sweet choices? And flaky, properly created authentic to the original French (not Tasmanian, for example) icon? At hours that normal folks can visit? Below the price of $10 a piece? In a clean and friendly environment? Where you can buy, let's say, two dozen pieces on the spot, to take to an upscale event? Good luck! They are scarcer than crow's teeth here. With a full week of scrolling and swiping I have finally found a couple that satisfy most of these criteria, i.e., clean, friendly, good schedule, good variety, well priced, high quality and authentic, and in a lovely reachable neighborhood too. On a dismal gray February day, leaping between downpours, we made our way to Village French Bakery and feel our selecting this pastry emporium amid the hundreds of others that failed our checklist was truly justified. I want to take a couple of dozen of the best French-style pastries to a morning event taking place soon, and I don't want all of them to be sweet, as this is a breakfast gig and a lot of people no longer want a sugar high first thing in the morning. (It is such an American thing to throw sugar --- or worse, high fructose corn syrup [yech] into every meal element. Do people now sprinkle their over-easies with granules too? Just saying ...) There is only one tiny thing that bothers me here and everywhere else: there is very little in-store stock of croissants (not cakes and other delicious dessert items like cake-- see my pictures) at almost any time of day past 7 am. Bummer. At least one can get to Village French easily (right off the 5 freeway) and we can order by phone a few days in advance for pickup. I am not sure why this is, other than, pastries don't hold up well sitting for days on a shelf and bakeries, as elegant and exquisite as they can be, like this one, have small profit margins. OR, their croissants are so amazingly good that they sell out immediately, every single day. In any case, they are doing us a service and since I am grateful this bakery exists at all, I will not complain. I feel lucky to have found it. read more

Long lines for no reason, the food was terrible. My husband and I got crème brûlée's, an apple turnover, and kind of a strawberries and cream puff pastry. We ate a few bites of everything and ended up having to throw the rest away-- it left bad aftertastes in our mouths and like a filmy mess on the roof of my mouth. Plenty of other bakeries in Glendale, skip this on for sure. read more

A great cafe with wonderful staff. They have a good assortment of pasteries and cakes, though it can empty out quickly on busy days which is fair. It may be difficult to find parking because it's a popular little area. It's my favorite spot in the area! read more

I stopped by here on the way to a friends gathering to pick up a cake and was not disappointed. They have many options ranging from classic chocolate cake to tiramisu. They also have single serve options if you want to grab a pastry and coffee. Service was also very friendly. I went with the chocolate cake which was the perfect size for party of 8. Really liked the mouse filling inside and the thin layer of ganache on top. Location is great too in the middle of Kenneth village. There is street parking and an adjacent lot. Will be back to try more pastries and the coffee! read more

Best crème brûlée I've ever had! Wasn't sure as the establishment looks a little dated. So glad I stopped in! Great prices too

Have been going here for many years. Everything they bake is delicious. It is a popular & loved neighborhood place, so it is important to get there early on the weekends, for a larger pastry selection. read more

I gave this place three stars because the server is very snobby. Pastries were good but I recommend to have the woman working there to change her bad attitude towards customers. read more

Everything in this place is not only the best I have ever had, but the prices are so reasonable, it's become my go-to place. Try their coconut cake at least once. I took it to a party and people started fighting over it. read more

Been here a couple of times before the Stay At Home orders were in place. My mom and I were on the hunt for a loaf of bread to go with the ribs my brother was making. We lucked out that they had a loaf similar to the one that my brother wanted and it ended up being the last loaf they had. The load only cost about $3.00 and the transaction was quick and easy. The bread paired well with the meat that my brother cooked up and it was very soft and well when we bit into it. Would have gotten some deserts from their read more

I noticed this French Bakery https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/village-french-bakery-glendale?select=X14hI4LIkv706dLEMwHUMQ a while back when I was getting tacos a few doors down. From the selection I found it seems more of an Armenian Bakery with French influence, it could have been the time of day as this was in the later afternoon but the selection was limited. Sorry it's been a while so don't recall exact names........ Raspberry Cheesecake https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/village-french-bakery-glendale?select=balN-fxqjimaOFEgULObhA A nice flavor balance and a plus for not being too sweet. 4-Stars Coconut Cake https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/village-french-bakery-glendale?select=wt0MpY-t3JSueGuh2U_DYw This was fantastic, my favorite of the two cakes, light airy cake with a nice coconut flavor and not sweet at all. 5-Stars I'll have to return at some point earlier in the day to check out the full selection. read more

I Just wanted to get a quick treat for my love while walking the Kenneth VILLIAGE shops- I discovered a potent and flavorful cup of Crème Brûlée from the VILLIAGE FRENCH BAKERY- My love Natalie loved it! Before leaving I asked the bakery saleswoman if they made Pumpernickel Bread? She answered yes! But when we looked at the bread shelf she saw none - but she would ask the Baker if he had one in back- Yes he had one . I hoped it would have the old world pumpernickel flavor- Arriving home we both looked forward to a slice, and it was amazing! The real deal - not just a brown coloredpiece of bread, but a real delicious PUMPERNICKEL ! Their special bakery items also looked very unique and tantalizing Rick & Natalie - Silverlake, California read more

Village French Bakery - Walnut raisin pastry - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

Disappointing! It seemed like a place that I should explore based on the ratings. But what happens when expectations are high, the chances for failure are going up. I get it, COVID made life difficult. But here, on a Sunday, there was nothing in the store, empty shelves, a very limited selection of items. No chance for any bread. So, I chose some pastry and coffee. The coffee literally took an eternity to be made - even though I was the only person at the time of the order. The pastries were good, the coffee average. But in summary, the place was disappointing and not worth an extra trip. read more

Pastry is very dry and old, no customer service no respect towards customers. I regret coming here. This will be the first and the last time I ever set foot in this bakery. Workers are very toxic. Won't recommend anyone. read more

Came in on a Saturday morning at around 8:30 and was looking forward to trying some of the pastries in the photos. Workers are dry and have a poor attitude, and generally just lack good customer service. As for the pastries, there were a lot of cakes but there wasn't much to choose from when it came to the croissants... half the shelves were empty. I ended up getting an almond tart, some croissants, and a cappuccino. Croissants are clearly not fresh and the cappuccino tastes like water. The selection was disappointing and surprisingly lacking for a weekend morning. Won't be coming back. read more
