French Corner Bakery

The only thing French about this bakery is the garish mural of Paris that they have on the back wall. The chocolate covered strawberry I got here was soggy and when I blatantly stated that I had an allergy, if not for my partner who accompanied me, I would’ve ended up consuming a beverage that they served me which contained juice from the fruit I am allergic to! Very unhappy.

Ordered a ham & Gouda cheese sandwich, it wasn’t authentic French bread nor Italian, more like torta bread.
The spread tasted like «sandwich spread».
Boiled ham, Gouda cheese, cucumbers cut too thick, few slices of tomatoes.
Not a French style sandwich.
Hope pastries are real

The restaurant had good vibes and services. The little glass menagerie on the sides are very cute. We had quiche, croissant, sandwiches and paninis. All are wonderfully made. The servers are French and give very good recommendations. It’s a good place to just sit and read or have conversations.

Omg this place is so cute. From the minute I walked in and saw the cute vintage wood banquette and pastry case shining with every delicious baked treat imaginable, I was in love.
The food is delicious, too, though I resisted a pastry and stuck with a fresh mozzarella sandwich (I’ll definitely be back for cake though!). The sauce (an aoli I think?) was so crazy good and made this fresh mozzarella stand out from others I’ve tried. The sandwich was delicious, and service was very friendly and helpful too.
Overall, the atmosphere of this place is great, and the eats don’t disappoint.

I had their blackberry scone it was great, but my wife had the ginger scone and it was the best !!
Great coffees to get with any of the baked goods they offer.
Worth getting their early for, they get very very busy…

Cute bakery with an array of pastries, both sweet and savory, as well as hot drinks. The French bread was great, as well as the spinach croissant. The sweet pastries, although we only tried a berry Danish and an assortment of cookies, seemed a little lack luster in comparison to the savory goods. All of the cookies seemed a little stale and the Danish, although tasty, was a little over basted and missed on that berry flavor. Still with all the great reviews, we’ll be back to try more of their bread items, just not for the cookies.

I’ve come here a couple times for their tea. They use the brand Mighty Leaf Tea. What I like about this place is that they have honey for their tea– I’ve gone to a couple other coffee shops and they only provide sugar.
The staff was friendly and I can’t complain.
3 stars however because I think they could expand on their food menu. I’m not sure why but they don’t sell bagels. I find that odd. I end up having breakfast at another coffee shop and put sugar in my tea.

I have been coming here since I was a child. Really love this place and the baked goods they sell. My favorites are the spinach feta crossiant, artichoke pizza, and the apricot danish. The pesto twists are amazing as well. They often sell out of stuff in the summer so if you want it fresh get there early. They also have a basket of day old pastries and breads for 50% off, we have never bought them but I imagine they are still very good! Some of their refrigerated desserts can be a little pricey but overall everything I have eaten here is delicious and fresh. I am always so excited to eat my goodies that I forget to take pictures!

I love this place! My husband and I have been visiting Cambria off and on for 20 years. In the morning before heading down the coast we stop by the bakery and stock up for our beach picnics.
The pastry is flaky and the French bread is crunchy on the outside and soft and wonderful on the inside. It’s what you want in a bakery.

Great torta and tunas sandwich! My husband and I bought sandwiches for our trip up to big sur and ordered the Milanese torta and big sur tuna sandwiches. Both were huge and absolutely Delish!
Prices are a bit steep for pastries and desserts but the sandwiches were between $ 7-​$ 9 which is pretty standard. Good coffee too.

Lovely little bakery in the heart of Cambria. Fabulous food. Kind and attentive staff. Cozy and quaint.

Nothing too special here. Doughy crust on the quiche. A better name would be paneria porque la pan is fairly Mexican. cappuccinos nothing great and very few customers stay and eat. Most orders are taken away.

Great selection of pastries. We swung in about 3pm and the pastries had probably been in the case for awhile but they tasted pretty fresh.
Washed down the pastries with a couple of delicious cups of coffee.
Great atmosphere and liked sitting on the sidewalk people watching and feeding the birds carrot cake crumbs.

Day old bakery goods? I’m the first in line, no fair pushing. There was a big basket of quick sale items as you entered, and who am I to quibble, since most often by the time I eat something, it has «aged» accordingly. I picked up a package of two whole wheat croissants for half off.
But…I especially fell in love with their crazy good, chocolate cake which actually resembles fudge. We were happily introduced at a great little café in Paso Robles, Chico’s Café, and I shall never regret this indiscretion. No cakey interior. Wish I could remember what they called it, maybe Chocolate Oblivion, but it *definitely* will knock your socks off if you are a chocoholic. Not too sweet, very smooth, and decadently meltable in your mouth. Yesssss!
You can also get coffee there. A few little café tables inside and out. I think this place is a winner.

I just enjoy a good cup of joe and along with that a couple of coconut macaroons… Love em.

Cappuccino was like hot Starbucks coffee with a dollop of foam. (Thumbs down)
Cinnamon rolls were a disappointment.

This review is a little over due. I have been going to the French Corner Bakery before the present owners owned it. In fact I remember when the French/​German lady used to own it. She then sold it to I believe a few of her workers that got together and purchased it. (I believe they also open a sandwich shop down the road but I do not know if that is still open) At that time the pastries suffered, but the Mexican chicken sandwich thrived!
Eventually the pastries got a little better and then they started adding a variety of menu items. They also serve coffee and tea and it is a nice little place to pick up a few items when you are in a hurry or want a little snack.

Apple turnover and Caramel mocha we’re the comb in this little place!!! Best I’ve taste. will be back for sure!

Maybe it’s the Filipino in me, but I just can’t visit relatives empty handed, especially ones you haven’t seen in a while. I told my husband that we needed to bring something, a peace offering if you will, when we visit his uncle and cousins. Luckily, there was a bakery or two in the town of Cambria, where we staying for the visit.
At around 9:30 am, we went into the French Corner Bakery and headed to their pastry case. No pies. Only cakes and pastries. No reason to panic though, as the sales clerk told us that they were in the process of making pies which will be ready by noon. Yay! We ordered an apple pie and a pecan pie. Both 9 inch pies were $ 15 each. It’s nice that they sell freshly made pies, not ones that have been sitting there for a few days!
I did not taste the apple pie, but it looked good. It had lots of apples, and my husband said it tasted homemade. He liked it and felt that it wasn’t too sweet. I was still full from lunch and by the time I was ready to taste it, it was all gone. I did get a chance to try a forkful of the pecan pie. I liked the crust, but I thought the pecan filling was too sweet. Even my husband’s 10 year old cousin who had a big appetite said it was too sweet. He mainly ate the nuts and crust. It may be wise to order something else other than the pecan pie if you’re wanting more flavor and less sweetness.
The French Corner Bakery is also a café. You can order coffee and eat your pastry inside. There aren’t a lot of tables though, so you’d have to be lucky to get a seat. If we’re in town again, we’d definitely go back and try their pastries with a nice cup of Americano.

A great place to grab breakfast to go. French Corner Bakery is a small bakery and coffee shop. They make all kinds of sweet and savory baked goods, hot and cold sandwiches. I had their SPINACH and FETA CROISSANT and it was delicious Very generous with the mild feta. El hubby had their CHOCOLATE CROISSANT and coffee and he really liked them. The croissant was light and flaky and had the right amount of chocolate.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is quite small and its get very busy. T They have a few tables and chairs if you want to dine in.
Highly recommend this place if you’re in Cambria.
