Nice buzz in this place, very busy for a reason-awesome freshly baked French pastries and really good coffee. Highly recommend it! Little courtyard is good if you come with kids or dogs:)
Not s bad place for a coffee and a sweet snack. Quite busy and noisy and a smile from the staff wouldn't hurt! I really like my food served with friendliest and this place is a let down in that aspect.
A good "French" style baker - recommended.
Although the French baker has long since departed for havelock north, Rusty maintains a pretty good semblance of what this little cafe bakery used to be. Some French specialties don't appear anymore but the breads are still good and the pastries better than anything available locally.
The space is pleasant, restful, clean, comfortable and perfect for reading the paper. Sitting outside on the street is also good and very dog friendly.
The menu is more constrained and less robust than that at the more grungy cahoots down the road. Pretty basic blackboard menu but the main draw is the baking. Coffee can be variable but is usually ok depending upon who made it.
My only gripe is their not taking credit cards but that seems to happen at a few places.
The French Baker (present or otherwise) has been an important part of greytown's food scene for some years and hopefully will continue to do so.
