French Toast Bakery

We were so excited to see a bakery & cafe like French Toast Bakery opening in our neighborhood since pastries & coffee are a daily-must for us. The decor is not the most modern among our go-to cafes, but it’s clean, bright and wide-spaced. The staff was also really friendly and gave us really honest recommendations. We would like to purchase a slice of their Red Velvet Pound Cake and they told us it’s not good on that day. We ended up having their Apple Tart and Ferraro Rocher Cake. The tart was really good, the crust was crunchy and the filling was creamy with plenty of apple slices. The cake wasn’t as good & delicate as our expectation so we would like to try other options next time.

This is a relatively new bakery in my Woodside, Queens neighborhood. Today I went in for the first time and I am very happy to have found this 💎. The place is very cute with ample room to grab a table. I took my 2 Almond Croissants and 2 Spinach and Feta Croissants to go so I could share them with my mom. We both loved the Croissants. The service was friendly and the prices are good. I will definitely go back to try some of their other 😋 offerings. It's the end of the year and at this point I have gone back here many times since my original review. This is a wonderful bakery in the neighborhood. Their breads are fresh and they have a good variety. Their Focaccia is very good. Everything I've had from here is fresh and good quality. The other day I tried one of the pastries (Ferraro Rocher) and it was 😋. The Coffee is good also and I don't usually drink Coffee when I'm out. I hope this neighborhood 💎 stays around for a long time.

I’ve stopped by here a couple times and so far it’s been really solid. First time I came was closer to end of day but the pastries I had were still good (red velvet cake was quite unique), so I figured I’d make a morning visit to round it out. They have a variety of breakfast options but of note are their croissants; try these first. Even standalone they are good, in sandwich form even better. The non-coffee drink options are limited but they gave me a random cup of ice with the OJ I grabbed (unusual but a nice touch). Service was refreshingly good and the interior was clean and well-lit. There is ample seating and for the most part it is very relaxed and quiet. I grabbed a baguette and a loaf to go. It was a little hard to identify the breads (no labels) but it wasn’t busy so I just asked about a few of them. I wasn’t entirely sure what a French Toast loaf was supposed to be but I figured that’s their name so I’d give it a shot. It’s actually quite pleasant, definitely more sweet than savory but not overly so. The baguette is more on the chewy side than crusty, but after a quick reheat in the oven came out balanced. I dropped by around 9 but they open at 7, so it might have a different character fresh out of the oven. Overall it’s off to a good start so I’ll be back for more. Definitely give it a try if you’re in the area.

Came in to grab a coffee on a Saturday afternoon and there were already a good amount of people sitting in the bakery. The atmosphere was nice and was definitely a place I would consider sitting at if there was an open table. The desserts all looked so delicious, but I was too full to eat any dessert. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and it was way too sweet! I felt like I was just drinking the syrup. My boyfriend told me he watched the barista pump the syrup in like 10 times. My friend wanted to get an iced matcha latte, but for some reason, the barista shook his head no, so she got an iced vanilla latte instead, which she wasn't the biggest fan of. Another one of our friends actually was able to order an iced matcha latte afterwards. It was so confusing. Seems like there was some sort of miscommunication amongst the staff.

Found by chance. It was an overall good experience. Food: Macaroons are delicious. They have a mixed box & that was good! The raisin bread was yummy! Their cappuccino & moca latte we're good. Decor: very nice. Modern. It was nice and clean. Staff: very nice & friendly

The sandwich was good… but I had to assemble it myself. It came in a food container instead of wrapping it for me or using a sandwich wrap… and when I opened it, it was apart in pieces. It tasted really good though once I put the sandwich together myself. But $10 for this mess is crazy.

Probably the best cafe on Roosevelt avenue it’s clean and has great wifi and it has a clean bathroom the foods great not too sweet and not to healthy. But the food they make is made fresh on the spot they make their own pastries in store!

Absolutely amazing experience! ❤️ Since I can remember, I’ve always been in love with French Toast. In my time here in New York, I have been searching everywhere for a spot that really makes the best French Toast. This place met my expectations and more. The atmosphere is very relaxing, lo-fi/jazz style instrumentals play while you sit. 🎶 I can tell the food was made with lots of love. ❤️ From the preparation to the plating. 💯 Didn’t expect to, but definitely had to finish once I started. 10/10!

Tried coming here at noon on Saturday and their storefront is covered in brown paper with no notice.

Cute French goodies, tasty French bread and pastries, low key atmosphere, tasty hot chocolate. I would go back and try their sandwiches! I haven't had the chance.

The Latte was nice, the cold brew is not as strong as you would expect and the French toast was very dry and lacked flavor. It has seating available and has very cute decor and a section to buy imported European goods which was so cute!

Things have been improving again! I've been coming here a lot more again for their bread and it's super great here. Will be getting my bread from here

The coffee was extremely sweet, shortly got a headache after drinking my Nutella latte, but the flavor was delicious. Ideally they can adjust the recipe for maybe less Nutella? The French toast however was amazing, super dense and moist, I'd love to come back and get a larger slice next time! It's a cute bakery and if I was going back home after I would've snagged some bread!

OMG! I wish I had read the recent reviews before coming here! I didn't realize there was a change of ownership! I walked in and it was a depressing version of everything it used to be! I even asked the girl at the register if everything was okay because it looked like the place wasn't even "open" and "operational". There were no pastries or bread anywhere in sight! Like a third world country! I threw my entire order in the garbage! It tasted like trash! DO NOT GO HERE!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Unassuming breakfast spot tucked away in a nondescript part of Roosevelt Avenue. Inside the space is bright, showcasing all the bread up front as well as the pastries behind the glass. Sunday morning, no line at all to order food. Between two people, split the Nutella Crepe ($6) and Turkey Croque Madame ($5.75). Croque is heated up and served in a to-go container, bread is a bit chewy but the egg on top helped. Turkey inside is your basic deli fare. Crepe was much better - freshly made and stuffed with Nutella and bananas. Good flavor and easy to eat. Paired these with a regular latte ($4), which is quite strong. Service could take a bit of time as they make some of their pre-made items for the day. Hit or miss here depending on what you get.

I recommend this place for their breakfast entrees and their French toast! I recommend if hire buying the slice in the display counter, ask them to warm it up for you. Overall it's one of my favorite places to check out in Jackson Heights

I was in New York for a couple of months for work and found this French Bakery. The crepes are amazing so as the food. The service and ambiance was great. Highly recommend this bakery, also this was by far the best crepe I've ever had!

Why the hell is it so hard to find a great coffee shop in Jackson Heights? I used to make excuses for this place left and right: they'd run out of milks, run out of napkins--you know, kinda annoying but not impossible to understand. They were trying, the food was good and they were the only place that made specialty coffee aside from espresso 77, which is like 15 minutes away. They were unique and I could look forward to my iced coffee and french toast daily. ...Then they changed management. I've visited this place at least half a dozen times since the reopening (captive audience, definition of insanity), and WITHOUT FAIL, they've fucked something up each time. Missing items, long waits for simple stuff like sandwiches, wrong items. You name it, they've flubbed it. The staff needs to be better trained here. They've also taken some aggressive measures to ensure that they can profit at the expense of the customer, instead of a mutual benefit. They now upcharge for almond milk, instituted a 25-minute time limit on seating unless you've purchased over $25, they've pared back the offerings. These are just the most obvious examples of penny-pinching--and they piss me off: 1. it's 2023, stop fucking upcharging for non-dairy milk! 2. I don't even use the fucking seating here half the time but what a way to tell customers they're not welcome: a placard on every table saying "make sure you've paid enough to be here." Nothing nicer to be in than an empty coffee shop. 3. They stopped selling the mini french toast--bro you're the French Toast bakery WHY would you stop selling the french toast? You also have a million different coffee machines in there but you basically eliminated all the interesting coffee ideas? I can't justify coming here, even with them being the closest place to me. I should NOT think that I'm more equipped to run your business than you are. The fact that they've changed ownership from some harmlessly-incompetent-sometimes folks to frustratingly-incompetent is a feat in and of itself. Seriously, can't wait til someone opens an honest-to-goodness good coffee shop here.

Came here once because of the app too good to go and found out their pastries are pretty good!!

They're a french pastry shop located in Queens, New York.

Place is super cute. We came here after eating at a few stores next door and wanted something hot since it was cold out. 3 decaffeinated coffees and 3 macaroons cost $21. Wowza I'm price but all tasted good. Staff was really nice as well.

Sad to see my favorite coffee shop in the area under new ownership. I saw sign on window it's going to change its name to some bakery, so there wasn't much baked goods&didn't look that appetizing&was expensive. Iced coffee still good&friendly cashier, but now there's new table policy? Time to look for another coffee spot for me.

It is a cozy bakery among the busy Jackson Heights area. The bakery is spacious enough, so people can either go there to study or have a lunch date. I ordered a sandwich, and it is mouth watering. Even though the bread is a bit harder than I prefer but overall, it is up to the standard. I would stop by again if I'm in the area. PS. The staff is friendly and not bossy, so it is another point for this bakery

Walking around in woodside, there is a lot of places to choose from. This place caught my eye and decided to get banana Nutella croissants and it wassss so good! Will definitely go back to try more items!

The French toast is amazing! Thick slices, really eggy, the strawberries were soft and sweet. My mom loved the fruit, she liked the French toast as well but couldn't eat too much cuz of her food restrictions. It's a good portion for $10. Really filling. Didn't use their syrup which could use an upgrade since everything else seems to be good quality. The French toast was sweet enough on its own.

I was in the area and decided to stop by. This place is so cute and the food was delicious. The bread was fresh, and the pastries were amazing. I'll have to come back and try their baguettes. 10/10

Very cute bakery. We tried a Chocolate Croissant, Nutella Croissant, and the Raisin Bread. Everything was good, but nothing too special. Both croissants were buttery and airy. Chocolate Croissant: My favorite item that we ordered. Perfect chocolate to croissant ratio. Nutella Croissant: The croissant was Nutella filled so it was a little overwhelming. Raisin Bread: Yummy, glazed crust - the bread was denser than raisin bread from the grocery store.

I was having a miserable trip. I had traveled to LaGuardia Airport to pick up my bags which were supposed to have been sent up from BWI last night around 11pm, but the bags were not there. I took the Q70 bus back to Roosevelt subway station,then I looked up Yelp to find a breakfast place. I walked 1/4 mile to this bakery, and I ordered a mushroom and spinach omelet, which came with cottage frie and a medium Cafe latte. The food was excellent and very fairly priced. I purchased five different kinds of croissants to give to the ladies I work with. They enjoyed the food as much as I did.

How did this place go from one of the best bakeries in JH to one of the worst? My husband and I would go and marvel at the bread display and always buy 1 to 2 loaves of some wonderful bread along with our lunch sandwiches and a dessert for the evening. Now there is no display, the sandwiches are sub par and the pastries are minimal. Please change owners back! It was very sad to lose Farines, albiet understandable due to the pandemic, but losing French Toast Bakery to greedy owners is just a sad waste.

If there was one thing that has been missing from this area of town ever since I've been visiting is a proper place to get a quality espresso, latte, flat white, etc. That's now going on here, but stop the presses, that was one of the finest properly brewed cups of black house coffee in recent memory. The kind that invades your nose and absolutely delivers everything that is great about coffee. At first glance you might mistake this for a chain. I say that because the decor, the signage, the menus, the video display, the logos, everything screams high quality, people that really know what they're doing but rarely deliver so well on the food and coffee side. None of that here, simply first-rate. So I was particularly pleased to learn that no, it's not. That means whoever launched this has a bigger stake than a franchisee. Baked goods, while I only tried the cream croissants, they were eye openers. So good I was like, holy crap, have to have another one of these even though I probably shouldn't. So good it'll be my go to for the rest of my five day stay in the hood. Service was also wonderful and pleasant, always important. Look, I come to this neighborhood to get a proper Columbia empanada or some gnarly noms as much as the next person, but I love a great, modern bakery killing espresso drinks to boot, and its whats been missing here for a long time. In case you're worried if it's Queens enough, you'll know when the #7 train rumbles over every few minutes and shakes the building. This place has it going on. Very highly recommended.

They took almost 40mins to make 2 latte. No one should ever go there for coffee or bakery! Worst latte ever. After 2 sips end up throwing it right outside.

Great place for casual anytime meals. Always great food and the service is spectacular. Clean and tidy.

Eh. Needed a caffeine fix, so I stopped in. Nice design and selection. Staff was nice. Coffee wasn't hot and the flavor had much to be desired. They have oat milk Which is a plus. The apple puff pastry was a tad stale. Cash discount

I get it's covid time but I went there to get a coffee Americano Coffee is good Nice atmosphere looked pretty clean for what it was What I didn't understand was how does a coffee shop run out of creamer It's in the middle of an area full of markets. So go get some of whatever you need if you must. No cream at a bakery / coffee shop is like having no sugar or napkins. It's fairly obvious. Maybe Ernie from Sesame Street is running things back there who knows.....

Decor is nice. Varied pastry offerings on display. Rock music was super loud. It did lower later (or I got used to it?). Asked for the spinach cheese croissant to be toasted, it came back really quick and lukewarm. The large ice coffee was primarily ice.

Sad to say this place went downhill ever since ownership changed. This used to be one of my fav place to go for sandwiches and coffee. Now the lights are always dimmed, empty most of the time, quality of food went down, drinks are not as good as before, and the pastry selection is way less than before. Don't see this place lasting much longer, hope a better owner takes over.

Loved it! Clean, great food, friendly staff. I would go back. I wish I had a place like that in my area.

What an atrocious change of ownership quality gone down the drain. I given the place 5 visits and every single vist has taken forever to receive food. The quality and prices are terrible, and offering severely limited. Its no wonder place is mostly empty now a days, the owner should just sell he has no idea how to run a bussiness.

This place is a hidden gem. I was tired of paying like $40 for bfast on my Uber eats. My daughter and I decided to try this place and we've been going about 3 x a week now. The coffee is one of the best coffees I've had , food is good and my picky 5 year old gives it a "super big thumbs up for the eggs and pancakes". It's clean and has good music and friendly staff. We will continue to go here for our breakfast/lunch or sweet needs.

French Toast had closed for a few days for "renovations" . That's what it seemed like until me and my husband went today and realized they actually changed owners. With that being said, we were really disappointed to see that they still have the same menu , but the food is completely different. We ordered 1 western omelette, 1 California omelette only egg whites and 1 order of banana and strawberry French toast. The order took very long to come out, which is understandable because the staff is different. Our order came 1 after the other, food is supposed to be all ready at the same time. When we received our food it was not prepared right. The omelettes didn't come with home fries and they were so watery. My husband requested to speak to the manager and he stated one of the omelettes was only made with one egg white. We paid $44 dollars for the entire order... we used to pay $35 dollars for the same order when the previous owner was still there. Not only it's so pricey now but the food is not quality. We were only issued a refund for the omelettes . I was a regular customer but I will not be coming back here and if anyone else expects to have the same service as before it's not there anymore.

Place opened by my apt, nice ppl, good pastries and real good baguette. Certain daily specials. Try their French toast; super delish. They also let u sample some coffee. Great addition to the neighborhood.

We've ordered pancakes and French toast. Their French toast is phenomenal. I'm surprised at how big the portions are! Always excited to order from there almost every weekend for brunch. Can't wait to try other dishes but for sure, the French toast is the fave of my family and I. I've only ordered takeout from here and can't wait to experience the restaurant in person. The food is always packed so well and there's always a cute smile on the boxes (thank you to whoever does that).

Came in looking for a restroom. The bakery was not crowded and there were plenty of seats and tables. They have many delicious looking pastries and sandwiches as well as coffee. There were pound cake samples by the cash register but I did not try them. I settled for the almond croissant. It was average. The croissant wasn't very flaky or buttery. It was more dense than how I prefer them. The three stars is for the croissant as I didn't try anything else.

I love your breakfast so I try to call every morning for ordering, but it's always busy. It's been 2 weeks. You should check your phone line if it's not working.

Great addition to the neighborhood and fills a much needed niche. Saw the French Toast Bakery open up and immediately had a positive feeling about it. There are a lot of bakery options in Woodside, several Colombian, but it's nice to have some diversity. Figured this would be a good breakfast spot, and I was right. I've been here twice, for breakfast, and can say it's solid. First time around, I had the French toast. Second time around I went with a grilled cheese. Both were great. Let's talk about price. This is not going to be the cheapest place around, but it's actually perfect. To get something cheaper, you'd have to go to a fast food place -- Mcdonalds or Wendys. If you went to a diner or Martha's or IHOP (now IHOB?) you're for sure going to spend more than here. For ~$12 I got a French toast breakfast, which included eggs and bacon, and a latte. The portions were well generous and I left feeling full. The staff is a little green, but I think they're learning. They don't work super fast, but they're nice -- which also has the downside of slowing things down a touch. The food they put out is great though. When you're sitting down with your food, you'll notice that the sacrifices made are on silver -- there is none. There are a couple of downsides though. They can't make a latte to save their life. It was bad. The only rubbish bins is beneath the counter of the condiments counter. It can only be accessed by those tiny holes you see at places that sell small food like Starbucks, etc. It can get messy trying to throw things out there. The place itself is elegant, but to the point of lacking in decor. The right side wall (along which people sit) is bare. No wallpaper, no art, nothing. Also behind you, you'll notice this creepy large television with all the security camera feeds. To make it creepier, the outside camera follows folks automatically. All in all, I really love this place and I'm looking forward to coming back on the rare occasions I'm not enjoying a bunuelo at my local Colombian bakery. This seems like a great place to sit, relax, read, and enjoy some eats. Odd note: They don't list French toast on their menu. It's available though. When I asked the guy why it wasn't listed, he said, "the person who made that doesn't know what they're doing." I almost died laughing.

I've stopped by here a couple times and so far it's been really solid.

Definitely give it a try if you're in the area.

They have reopened. I had a very good caprese croissant sandwich. They offer a good variety of baked goods, it is clean, spacious, good music, good seating..

I walked in to find myself greeted by a nice lady. I'm not sure but she has a great attitude and customer service. I mulled over the whole menu. It's pretty extensive, and then I settled on having an egg and avocado croissant, which was delectable. The vibe is mellow and it's kid friendly. I see couples on dates, families with kids, and single people grabbing coffee-to-go. It seems like a nice place to grab dessert and loaves of bread also. I like it, and I would return soon.

Really happy to see this spot reopened! It's a nice addition to the neighborhood with a nice menu of pastries, sandwiches, coffee and freshly made bread. I've brought the focaccia a couple times over when visiting friends and it's always a hit, too. Plus, the place is very tidy and clean, and comfortable enough to hang out in.

The best Bakery in Jason Height Area. Reasonable prices, fresh hand made items, beautiful designed and amazing presentation of sweets etc. Amazing customer service, the white lady of small stature is Amazing. She listens to you and helps you with a smile. Amazing Staff and overall amazing business. Highly Recommend people to check it out.

Looks like a chain but it isn't. The girl behind the counter was so helpful. I didn't know what some things were. She didn't make me feel rushed to make a decision on what I wanted. She answered all of my questions with a smile. The food was delicious! My husband had a breakfast sandwich and a chocolate cream stick. I had a blackberry and a strawberry mini tart, a Nutella croissant and a nut cookie. So good! I'd come back if I lived here.

Thank you Luis, for taking the time, to let me know, about your re-opening French Toast, July 14th!.... Bastille Day!..I'm looking forward to seeing you, all again! Bonne Chance!

Found this gem today. The place was spotless. All the food looked delicious. I highly recommend giving this place a chance

I had a great experience in this place, I went there with my family my husband loves the croissant sandwich, highly recommended.

Great spot! Great customer service and great food. Egg, ham, and cheese on a croissant was fantastic. The caprese croissant was also delicious. The Nutella bread and cinnamon raisin bread are superb!
