The French Workshop

Attractive elegant venue with yummy pastries and good coffee. They are pretty good about confirming allergens in product ingredients, and go so far as to consult the chefs in the back. It costs $0.95 to be lactose intolerant 😢 Starbucks eliminated their upcharge for milk alternatives, hopefully the Workshop does too. I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys 2 lattes a day.

So good! I loved doing a taste test of the cookies. They have incredible pastry cases cookies and even chocolate bars from I want to say Belgium. I got two mini and one big one and it was $5. Which is good! Also they have vegan and gluten free. I took photos so you can see examples if you are vegan and / or gluten free! The service behind was more passive than active.

Desserts 4/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 5/5 This spot offers beautifully made pastries that they are less overwhelmingly sweet than many other French bakeries. The quality is decent, with the fruits consistently fresh and every item thoughtfully constructed and reasonably priced The Raspberry Cake (4.25/5): Probably my favorite out of them all. I loved the cream to cake balance and the very generous amount of fresh raspberries Berry Fruit Tart (4.25/5): Wonderfully creamy with an abundance of fresh fruit on top Pistachio Cake (4/5): The pistachio element was a little on the sweeter side, but I loved being able to taste and feel the pistachio pieces in every bite

All the cakes looked so pretty but my daughter got tiramisu and I got fruits tart. It was pretty good but my daughter was disappointed that the top of the tiramisu was meringue not whipped cream! I guess we shouldn’t have assumed lol.

Finally checked this off my list! So glad there's one that's more accessible now than Garden City whenever we used to go to for Mazda service. This space is huge, clean, and has plenty of seats! I love how bright the whole area is. I've only ordered my usual go to Americano and chocolate croissant and a Nutella Beignet and it was pretty good. I especially appreciate that the Americano was done thoughtfully and didn't seem watered down. Their music selection is also pretty relaxing, so much so that I even felt compelled to just take off my air pods and listen to their selection. The staff seemed warm and friendly and at one point, they also offered chocolate truffles to try so that was a wonderful touch! Lastly, there are 2 toilets both of which seemed clean and maintained well. I hope this branch stays pretty consistent! Keep it up and looking forward to try some more of your yummy pastries! :)

The sandwich we got was good- perfectly toasted and seasoned- my husband liked the apple pie as well. The coffee was not at all- I don’t mind paying $6 or more for a good coffee but this was pretty bland and $6 for this size is a little silly. The WiFi did not work at all - we connected to it but it kept saying no internet and the staff wasnt really helpful about solving it. Overall an okay experience.

A new spot that recently opened in Long Island City. The interior is spacious and very clean. They offer a wide variety of items—from coffee and tea to French-style desserts and sandwiches. They also sell boxed cakes and cookies, which make great gifts or are convenient to bring to events. As for the cakes, they look beautiful, but the taste is actually quite ordinary. I think with a little more creativity or refinement, they could elevate the flavor to match the appearance😉

Beautiful new bakery in Astoria, close to the Broadway train station. Modern and elegant aesthetic, plenty of seating space, and lots of variety in savory and sweet treats. Amazing service and quality. We tried several desserts including the Oreo Bomb and the Apple Dulce. Very delicious! Can't wait to stop by for more!
