Was Mike Ryan at French Corner a mag?
Great pastries, proper croissants, and a delicious and surprisingly well-balanced almond croissant. Quiches are solid as well, although the dough was a little on the dry side the flavor was excellent. Great value as well especially for the area. View all feedback.
What Helena Schwarte dislikes about French Corner:
I went there with a girlfriend today for a pastry and coffee. The pastry's look amazing however, the carrot cake cupcake was dry and the frosting was sticky and not fresh! When I went to the counter I took it back and instead of crediting me they charged me for a different dessert. Horrible customer service. How much was the wholesale on a cupcake to lose 2 clients?

This is a popular small coffee shop located on a main road. I have to say, the prices for the baked goods here are incredibly high. Paying $6 for a mandel croissant that looks like it was topped with frangipane on a Costco croissant felt like an exaggerated price.
The food is decent, but I wouldn't recommend going here during peak hours. I ordered two crepes and waited 30 minutes without any sign of them. It seemed like they had skipped my order entirely. I waited an additional 10 minutes, but there was no real progress. The staff appeared too overwhelmed to provide proper service when the restaurant was busy.
The coffee here is excellent, and the baked goods are light and delightful. I stopped for some ice cream and enjoyed watching the world go by. It's lovely to sit outdoors. All the pastries are delicious, with a European touch.
Outside seating with your favorite dish, what more could you ask for. I pop into this little space every so often, and have been coming here since 2015. Come pick out your fav dish and enjoy!
