User Reviews for French Loaf

If I could give this bakery no stars I would. I recently ordered a ½ 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 ½ 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 understand that as of May '02 it's under new ownership. I have been in several times and received great friendly service. The desserts are delicious!! Will definately go back again and again.
