"French Gourmet opened in 1973 on the edge of River Oaks and Montrose. The full-service French bakery has pastry cases full of chocolate-laced eclairs, whimsically iced sugar cookies that look like massive gingerbread men, as well as multiple croissants that leave hands pleasantly slick with a sheen of butter. Savory loaves and baguettes are also available, the latter of which you might see someone ripping into immediately upon exiting. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
