The Woodlands Gourmet Bakery & Cafe

A little piece of Paris in the Woodlands.
The heart shaped flakey pastry was fresh from the oven and was delicious, buttery, and slightly sweet.
Coffee was fantastic, strong, and smooth. I got a Mocha and he got black with one sugar.
We ordered two croissant sandwiches. Mine: bacon, egg, and cheese. His: Turkey, avocado, and tomato. The croissants were flavorful with a nice herb dusting. Both croissants had a very good.
Note: the menu doesn’t state they put mayo on the croissant sandwiches and he greatly dislikes mayo. He told one of the workers (seems like the owners son) and the worker checked the menu, apologized, and we received a new sandwich rather quickly.
Before we left, he was offered a refill and of course he accepted.
Amazing customer service! We will definitely return. Heads up they do have a bit of traffic but it’s worth the wait in the minor line.
**We’ve spent a few months in i and there is no rush to get food to your table because well it’s food is meant to be an art. Have patience and you won’t be disappointed.**

As soon as you walk in, you can sense the great atmosphere! Ordered the bacon and egg croissant. Lots of eggs, extra thick bacon inside a crispy, flaky croissant! Very tasty and highly recommended! The staff are super friendly and its apparent with the regulars here. Bön appetit!

Showed up today, excited to try this place. Unfortunately they are CLOSED ON TUESDAYS! Please update Unilocal!!!

Love this place! We go in the morning for eggs benedict (the sauces are perfect) and nutella crepes, we go in the afternoon for paninis. The staff is warm and friendly, the artwork (for sale!) on the walls is interesting, the food is great. One of our family go-​to places!

First time at this bakery and café. I ordered an Texans panini and boy was it good! Def will be coming back !

It’s so unfortunate that this place is a 3 minute drive, or a 15 minute walk, from my house. It is out of this world delicious and I fear for my waistline because this will be my new favorite spot!

Great service and amazing food! It’s my personal favorite breakfast and lunch in the neighborhood. They have the best crepes, comparable in quality to those found in Normandy! Awesome panninis and croissants too!

Tres bien. Awesome French bakery in the Woodlands. So authentic that the guy working there wore a striped French naval shirt (but maybe he just likes early Duran Duran). Everyone spoke French. Fantastic coffee and crepes and croissants. Great place to chill out vs. that other big coffee place that’s always in chaos if youknowwhatImeanandyoudo. I need to try the eggs benedict next time. The tiny (actual size it should be) espresso was fantastic. Didn’t look, but they should have a copy of Le Monde lying around, you know?

My wife and I have breakfast here whenever we can. Best breakfast in The Woodlands!!!

I have been here many times and the sandwiches are good. Pastries are good. Staff not that friendly at all. I just went back today and paid 3.50 for a small plastic cup of ice tea. I ordered the Strawberry and Nutella Crêpe. It was cold and the crêpe was folded on the plate and Nutella put on top of crêpe not warmed with a strawberry design? Usually the filling is inside the crêpe. I asked for a refill of my ice tea (cup is small) I was told they do not refill tea? Never in Texas have I paid for ice tea and not gotten a refill. Pretty much anywhere! They just lost my business. Will not be back ever.

This is one of my favorite places to go on a Sunday after church to have brunch with my family. It’s a quiet, peaceful atmosphere with delicious food and great service. The Eggs Benedict is served on REAL French bread and is to die for! I have to get it every time I go but my mouth always waters for all of the other pastries displayed and on the menu. C’est tres magnifique!

The Woodlands is extremely fortunate to have this bakery in the area. Excellent breads and pastries. Terrific service. Be patient: the crowds will gather on weekend mornings. But the flaky croissants that transport to France are worth the wait.

Recently moved to the area and finally got to Stop in today. I was so pleased with the service and the food. I got the Croque Madame and it was so delicious! I even managed to get a Chocolate Crossiant and it was the most delicious Crossiant I have ever tasted. So flaky and buttery. Omg! Everything was fresh and the coffee was amazing! I will definitely be back and I c ant wait to try more!

Okay, so this is my second time in here and from the croissant, omelet, french toast, and my personal fave the croque madame by far my favorite brunch in the area! Shhhh dont tell my employer since weve been voted best brunch in the woodlands multiple times! Will return time and time again for sure! From the food quality to the service everyone should check it out!

I initially came here for the croissants and bread, but who knew they also had delicious breakfast and coffee! Try their crepes if you get a chance!

Excellent panini’s. I had the Spaniard and it was delicious. Serrano ham, fresh spinach, tomatoes, and Swiss cheese on fresh brioche bread. My wife had the club which she really enjoyed. Also tried a Palmier pastry which was great. Light, sweet, crunchy. I highly recommend this café. The owner was very friendly. I will be back.

I would do anything in my life to be able to taste the frasier cake I tasted in Paris. I have searched high and low in Houston and In Austin. No one has this cake! That is until I saw it on Unilocal at this particular place. I did what any sane person would do, I made the 1 hour trek to the woodlands. During those 60 min I imagined how my life would just be complete. As usual, life seemed to be playing a trick on me. When I arrived I was informed that they dont make those particular ones all the time. I would have to wait until Monday when the pastry chef was there to see if they would make some. You could place an order but I would not be tasting it that day. Since I had driven there anyway, I thought Id try the cherry blueberry tart! I was immediately blown away because it tasted as close as you can to a Parisian dessert. Trust me I have been searching any place that can replicate the Parisian experience. I cant wait to try more pastries and the frasier cake as well. The only reason I didnt give this a 5 star is because I only tasted one pastry. Based on what I did try, I have no doubt that I will be updating my review with a 5 star.

I don’t know how this place has made it as long as they have. The cases are bare, few croissants made daily, but they are good. I have to say I live in The Woodlands and we are a diverse population; perhaps this is the reason. Never have anything I want by noon and it certainly isn’t because they are bustling busy. They don’t make a lot of anything. The owners are French, but it doesn’t mean a thing to me, if I can’t get any item I want. Can’t get my croissant heated up and I don’t want a cold croissant. These croissants are not flaky like one would expect so if you are looking for that consistency and texture, go elsewhere. Absolutely rude owners and their son is following suit too since having his parents as his role models probably doesn’t help. If you go near closing…30 minutes before. don’t expect to dine there. 3 stars for quaintness not French quaint though.

These guys are awesome! It’s a little pricey if you ask me, but it’s one of those places where I’m just willing to suck it up and pay.
They close early, so it’s usually a breakfast spot for me. This is where I learned what hollandaise is SUPPOSED to taste like. Seriously good eggs benedict! I have been in for lunch, and they were happy to introduce me to the croque monsieur. I’d never had a Paris-​style sandwich before. Requires a fork and knife, not what I was expecting. But, man, was it GOOD! Lots of melted cheese on top; can’t go wrong with that.
The baked goods are all perfect. Croissants so good you don’t need to put anything on them, excellent tarts, baguettes (if you get there on time!). But my favorite thing is the palmier. I can’t leave without getting one. Crispy, delicately sweet, flaky… they’re big enough to share, but you won’t. You’ll eat the whole thing. I know I always do.
Great café run by the nicest people. Highly recommended.

I stopped by here while on the road back to Dallas and enjoyed some lovely smoked salmon Eggs Benedict! It only loses a star because they were served lukewarm (the sauce may not have been as warm and cooled the egg part), but it was still quite tasty!
I think a bakery like this is perfect in this area! The staff was very pleasant and helpful, and they seemed happy to be there. I did not know this was a family-​owned/​operated place, but it sure felt warm like a family ran it.
I would love to stop here again to try their pastries (which they are probably more known for). They looked so good, but I could just not fit any more in my stomach. That may raise the rating to 5 stars!
There is artwork for sale inside on the fun painted walls. Makes me miss Paris…

Excelente lugar, las crepas realmente buenas y me gusto mucho el servicio del chico de la caja, súper amigable y muy chistoso y la verdad los franceses no tienen fama de ser muy pacientes, pero los chicos de este lugar si lo son. Así que excelentes crepas y excelente servicio, ese día yo llevaba mucha prisa y el chico se súper esmero en darme las crepas lo antes posible y con una sonrisa.
