    I visited this place on the advice of my friend. And she was just smitten. People are doing just incredibly beautiful tasty and wonderful work in this place. I am sure that this is now the number one place that I will return to more than once to buy a cake or some sweets.

    I am a regular customer of the Bayside location but I was in the area for work so I had to stop by. What I love is the consistency, the food and service is always spot on. My biggest problem when visiting the FW is what to get everything looks so good. I tried the turkey Swiss croissant, the croissant was perfect it made feel I was in Paris for a moment. I left with a small box of mini cookies and the plan was to wait to get home to have a few but I couldn't resist they were amazing. Wantagh is now lucky to have this great establishment in the neighborhood, go check it out!

    Beautiful assortment of pastries and sandwiches, and more. Cappuccino was very good. Relaxed elegant atmosphere, soft music, outdoor space cozy and inviting. Great date night visit. Plenty of parking.

    I became enamored with this place when I first visited in garden city. The selection, the quality, the atmosphere. I was even taken aside and shown their incredible herbal tea brewing process and given a cup brewed right at my table. I was so happy to hear theyd be franchising (more locations). Their attention to detail has set them as my new favorite bakery, as the rest of the local bakeries cut corners to reduce cost. I'm happy to pay more for outstanding flavor and texture. Owners have attention to detail that sets this place apart as unique and many steps above Starbucks or Dunkin who are within walking distance. As long as I have French Workshop, ill be there for breakfast lunch gifts and dessert. New cafe for excellent food pastries, coffee on the go and more.

    Absolutely love this place, it’s become a staple for me. The coffee is excellent, I highly recommend having Nutella latte (iced or hot, they’re both amazing). They blend the espresso with the Nutella so it’s immersed perfectly. All of the croissants are incredible, I always ask for them to be heated up. And where to even begin with the desserts. Everytime I go I try a different one and I’m yet to be disappointed. This place is sooo good, I’m so happy they opened in Wantagh and there’s a close location for the south shore.

    Gorgeous environment, beautiful selection, & helpful, friendly service. The desserts are delicious, but overly rich & sweet across the board, so that it becomes too much after a few bites. A little less cream & sugar, and more subtlety, would make the desserts perfect.

    Came for the coffee but stayed for the pastries. Although I'm still working my way through the café's wide assortment of baked goods and offerings, I've tried enough to give my thoughts. The coffee is above average, but not something so good that you couldn't get from across the lot at Starbucks. I've tried all the lattes (hot) and my personal favorite is likely the caramel machiato. But like I said, the pastries are where this place really shines. The raspberry croissant is like the best version of a jelly donut I've ever had, and all the other sweets and sandwiches luck just as delectable. That being said, the place is a little pricey. Atmosphere is very nice, but the ordering system can be confusing and a little unorderly at times when it's busy, especially if you're just getting coffee. The have a side patio area for outdoor dining, which I often utilize. All things considered though, staff has always been polite to me, and even compensated me for a botched order which was a nice gesture. Despite the dedicated parking lot, it can fill up quick around peak times, so plan to go early if you choose to go. Can't wait to try more of their delicious desserts and delights.

    Everything in the glass case looks amazing. Upon seeing the tiramisu you get the impression the topping is some something soft and creamy. Guess its decorative Was like a dry piece of styrofoam .getting passed that hoping it would improve. It was frozen Solid. Are you kidding me???

    Place is fantastic, the deserts are all delicious and baked fresh, you can literally see them making everything. I’m sorry but if you have never been to a city bakery and paid the ridiculous prices there, this bakery for their taste and quality is not expensive at all, and whoever wrote they didn’t know what a merengue was and thought it was cream, common dude don’t be ignorant of a desert, it’s just egg whites.

    Great atmosphere, plenty of tables, an array of unique foods. Sandwiches are great as are the macarons, cakes, savory croissants, and plain. Brownies are too dense for my taste, and chocolate pops way too expensive. A shot of mocha coffee is not a fave it's a glorified instant coffee. Sorry people for the price of that particular cup, I'll go to Starbucks or dunkin where it's BREWED coffee and a shot of mocha. That's my only issue.

    Absolutely delicious. We had a spinach & cheese bougatsa, goat cheese and grilled mushroom sandwich, a breakfast croissant.. all were delicious. The strawberry tart was $36, which is a little pricey but with how high quality and delicious their cupcakes were (best I’ve ever had- they have a filling!!) I think it’s worth it as a nice hostess gift. Iced coffee wasn’t Starbucks but that’s just my preference.. I like a strong coffee and they were out of cold brew and nitro brew. The baguette was tasty too! Loved the decor and all the choices.. this is definitely going to be my go to place!

    Upscale patisserie with an open kitchen (watch desserts be prepared) and quaint seating serving decadent handmade desserts and aromatic specialty coffee.

    I went for the first time and ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagette. The bacon was uncooked and practically raw. It was so gross and i didnt want to make a complaint cause the place was crowded. So i just ate the egg and cheese. I wrote two emails to the company and no reply. Apparently they dont care !
