My fiancée and I walked in to French Loaf while we were walking along 5th Ave. We were waiting for my car to get finished being repaired at the nearby Tuffy and saw the store and thought we would go in - we had never been in despite that we must have unknowingly driven by it 15 or 20 times (it is set back from 5th a little). I got a Raisin Cinnamon Roll and a medium coffee (ended up trying both the hazelnut and french roast flavors). My fiancée got an apple danish! My cinnamon roll was amazing and I will definitely be going back for more of them. Thanks. Pros: Friendly, good atmosphere, great food!

If I could give this bakery no stars I would. I recently ordered a ? sheet cake for my brother in-law?s graduation (he was coming in from out of town and I did it as a favor to my mother-in-law). I was beyond disappointed, so much so that I decided to right a review. When my mother in law came in town and we picked up the cake, she literally fell out of the bakery. The cake was a staggering $85 for what they claim was a ? sheet cake (but looked more like the size of a football field). The cake itself looked fine ? which it should for an additional $15 to decorate, but was mediocre at best. I am a huge fan of cake and will eat just about any kind - professionally made, boxed, what have you, but I could barely choke down half a piece. So not worth the calories - the frosting tasted like twinkie filling ? not the good frosting you expect from a professional bakery, and the cake was just okay. We might as well have picked up a grocery store cake ? it would have been a heck of a lot cheaper and probably tasted better. Bottom line ? the cake was bad and grossly overpriced. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. Pros: good location Cons: the cake - way overpriced and mediocre at best

for around $5 you can get a tasty sandwich made in front of you, to die for soups, or a combo of the two. I prefer the basic chicken salad on a criossant, and the croissants are just as buttery and flakey as they look. Also everytime I go in I swear to myself I won't get dessert but I lose every time because they're just that good. French Loaf has never dissappointed me ^_^ Pros: Fast service, friendly staff Cons: parking is limited

I had never heard of this bakery until 2 weeks ago when a co-worker suggested that we get a birthday cake for a mutual co-worker from here. He volunteered to pick it up and said that the cakes were always really good. I was expecting to just have your basic birthday cake from say a grocery store. Boy was I wrong! I was very impressed! The packaging was impeccable, so I figured the taste would match. This may have been one of the best cakes that I have had in a very long time. It tasted like a gourmet suzy q. It was a very nice change from the white cake that tugs at your throat, and that's topped with a mound of super sugary icing and bitter blue flowers. I will definitely keep this bakery in mind for the next special occasion that comes up for my circle of friends

their french bread is excellent for grilled cheese! it's like a gourmet version of an American basic. their pastries are both beautiful and tasty. it's a treat to look at them!

This has a wide selection of really delicious pastries, reasonably priced. I often stop here to get a dessert to bring to a dinner. In addition to desserts, they have more standard lunch items.
