I have ordered a whole batch of pastries a couple times from here to bring to my weekly breakfast club at work. Everyone goes crazy over the breakfast croissants (ham and cheese is the top pick). I personally love the chocolate croissants and cream cheese danishes.
service is prompt even when they are busy. bring your appetite because portions are large.
Nice place to meet and catch up with family. I've had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. Atmosphere is similar to a place in Columbus I loved.
Great French bakery and lunch spot, loved the bread and their wide array of desserts.
The best croassants in houston!! The best french pastry!! The best lunch!!.. It is a small, quiet and sweet place!.. I enjoyed every bite of my goodies!!
Nothing to complain about. Prices are reasonable. Food is similar to a cafe in Portland I loved.
First visit I was very impressed with the quality of everything I tried which was quite a few things! Excellent croissants, eclairs, lemon pastries, and quiches as well as wonderful customer service. These people train their employees well and know how to deliver a consistently good experience for their guests. If you like french gourmet bakery items, look no further.
Went there July 26 2018 at 3pm. Mostly empty display except for some big cakes and few macarons. Asked for chocolate eclair because their outside sign advertised it. But there were none :-(
So far the best French bakery in town. I recommend getting there early, most is gone by lunch time
As a French in Houston, stopped here to feel back home. Was not disappointed! Sandwich tasted just like in Paris. The croissants with bacon and cheese are not typically French but also good. Will come back for the "galette des rois".
The almond croissant is amazing but they are on the high side. Their baguette is great too but at 3.99 it should be.
They have the best kolaches I have ever eaten. They honestly melt in your mouth.
This place is grate with everything like fresh made food , the best service I've seen in a while this restaurant deserves more customers . No trip is complete without going here
This is one of the BEST places in Houston to get Cakes.....so far I've been here 5 times and will continue to give my business...
Staff is always super even when they have a full house. The service here is better than most. The bill was appropriate for the quality. Menu is like a place in Miami I enjoyed
Fantastic cakes, been coming for years!
Always great!
Delicious croissants and great coffee. All at reasonable prices.
Was just given the bacon croissant as a thank you gift and wow they are delicious!!!!
Yummy, buttery everything. Friendly staff. Wish i lived closer, love this place
The place for the best gourmet cakes. The only problem is not always finding what you want unless you order in advance.
Delicious brioche and seasonal pastires - everything in here is mouth watering - I have a hard time sticking to my list as soon as I enter. Their wuiche is also amazing for a wuick bite at one of their few tables in the bakery itself.
Very tasty Quiches! Good coffee and dessert pastries too. Would visit again for sure!
Their croissants are wonderful. And so is their pecan cakes.
The best cake ever!!! I grew up eating the famous coffee crunch cake, and now my family enjoys it just the same! I love how the cake is so moist and fluffy with fresh crunchy bites of honeycomb. It never disappoints... hands down the best cake ever!
One of my favorite little, family-owned French bakeries in the Houston area! The quality of their food and deserts are consistently great and authentic. They have always completed any orders I've made with them on time and accurately. Plus, they have a little waiting area within the main lobby where anyone can sit down and enjoy their delicious selections! An amazing little place that deserves more business than it is currently getting!!
Simply the best! A family-owned and operated bakery that makes the best breads and sweet treats. From their cookies, croissants and cakes, you can't go wrong. My family has been coming here for our baked goods for over 30 years and have never been disappointed!
My wife bought a piece of vanilla cake and it was so darn moist. She said it was the best vanilla cake she has ever had.
The French Gourmet Bakery has the BEST PASTRIES IN HOUSTON. All made from scratch with heirloom Recipes. There Christmas cut out Sugar Cookies, a must during the Holidays.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I come here about once every two weeks if not once a week. My food is always good and fresh. I get the full ham sand which on croissant and the mustard they use is so good! I ve been coming to this location for almost two years.
They had a location on memorial and that s when I discovered this place. I was about 13/14 and then they closed that location. Then about 9 years later I got a job in river oaks and started coming to this location religiously.
Arrived at five, it wasn't busy. Service is typically above par. It has a great interior.
Divine eclairs and chocolate raspberry cake and chocolate thumbprint cookies and.....
Always consistent and the bakery products delightful and wonderfully delicious. I have been a customer since the 70's and the quality can't be beat; from wedding cakes to cookies, and the customer service is excellent and staff most helpful. Best bakery in the County, maybe even in the State. Love this place!
Not too French.... i found it very expensive.... my piece of pastry (hazelnut gateau) was a little dry.
I was so pleased to discover this lovely bakery in my 'hood! I like to grab an croissant from here when I'm making soup, they have the perfect level of chew without cutting the roof of your mouth. I have also enjoyed their quiche as well as their croissants. Everything has been wonderful so far and the owners are super friendly which is why French Gourmet Bakery, is as good as it gets.
Service treated us so kindly. It has a cool feel to it.
Food was so yummy. There was fast and courteous service.
Great food and service. I was a little disappointed that more than one slice of meat was not on the sandwich, but it was good nonetheless. The cake included in the lunch special was delicious, and the extra cookie we ordered was one of the best I have ever eaten.
FGB catered our infant grandson's welcome reception for approximately 45 family & friends. The food was delicious and generous potions for each item. Would definitely use their services again. Thanks for your professionalism and good service with exceptional food.
We went to this bakery because of the 4.4 stars. We bought baguettes and chocolate croissants, but when we compare this to other French bakeries in the area, I can say that it is too expensive and tasteless.
Incredible! The best croissants you're going to get in Houston, almost certainly. They appear to be very properly made, with good butter and a decent dough sheeter. Loads of layers, ultra soft, and incredibly tasty. Their chocolate croissants are even better when you're in the mood for a sweet twist to a French classic.
The place is clean, the staff is very nice, and I am eager to visit again when I'm in the area!
Truly delicious bakery and very cozy for coffee and dessert.
Been here a long time. Somewhat pricey but good. Friendly staff.
nice place to think about business. looking forward to coming back with my friends. prices that won't break you. feels like a place in charlotte that i enjoyed visiting.
Lovely bakery, they make the best pumpkin pie, trust me on this one. I haven't had any place in Houston who does it this good--available Thanksgiving and Christmas time!
Delicious cream cheese pastries! This place has sitting space, and quick service.
Staff is always timely even when they have a full house. I've had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. The bill was fair.
Most delicious chocolate groom's cake ever! Beautiful and delicious wedding cake as well. French Gourmet flavors can not be beat. Lauren is accommodating and a pleasure to work with.
nothing to complain about. the staff was friendly and observant. prices are appropriate. i can see why they have a lot of good reviews.
Stopped by here when I was passing down the road, I love going into new bakeries to see what they offer. I feel like they could offer more, I was a bit let down with the limited options. But I bought a loaf of French bread and it was so soft and crispy on the edges. Very good would recommend.
the food was so savory. i'll return with my friends.
Employees were very friendly and the pastries were pretty delicious
Poorly decorated..I know the green one is a Christmas tree but what is the red one? They're not cheap and this is what I got
Tried the bacon & egg and the ham & Swiss croissants. Both were good, but the ham and Swiss was the bomb.
It was so fresh. I look forward to a return trip. Food is like a restaurant in Louisville I loved.
My favorite bakery. I was saddened when we moved, because I would no longer be able to enjoy your chocolate chip cookies. Do you ship?
They have the best pastries, cakes, cookies, croissants, everything there is amazing. I got one of their carrot cakes for a friends birthday, and I will tell you this friend knows great carrot cake, she told me it was the best she has ever had. I got one of their slices of apple strudel, it was so delicious and just melts in your mouth. I would highly recommend this place for any desserts you want.
Best Apple strudel on the planet. Pricy but worth it.
Been loving there Ebony and Ivory for over 30 Years
Super great King Cakes, to rival some of the best from La! Great ham and Swiss croissant also. Thank you!
This is a good bakery, but far from an authentic French bakery. However, the food here is probably the best of the other bakeries I visited while in Houston.
Good Day! I have been going to the"French Gourmet Bakery"ever since they once had a location on Memorial Drive in"Lantern Lane Center".This"Memorial" location served a lunch special daily as well as bakery goods.The lunch served was a delightful mix of varied choices.The bakery products for as long as I have been going seem to ALL have a "unidentified ingredient"...a "mystery ingredient"that has ALWAYS disagreed with my stomach.It is also available and included at the location on Westheimer in this locations bakery products.Every time I purchase a bakery item from cookies to cakes to pecan and cinnamon rolls/bread it is in everything waiting to upset my stomach! Whatever this"mystery ingredient"is that is being added to what appears to nearly everything I would strongly advise everyone to avoid this bakery and their made bakery items.I seldom have digestive issues but,"French Gourmet Bakery"every time I consume their bakery products my stomach is upset! It is CRAZY! There are so many fine bakery options and locations across Houston to obtain lovely bakery items,cakes,cookies,etc.that do NOT posses this"mystery ingredient"waiting to make you ill.Who wants to have a special occasion ruined and leave you with wondering...what happened...what made me feel this sickly? Another aspect of"French Gourmet Bakery"is how overpriced every item is to purchase! I made the mistake of getting "1-Eclair".It WAS $5.00!!! CRAZY!!! A "apple pie"is$24.95! I am a BIG lover of bakeries but,for safety and peace of mind as well as wanting children and the elderly healthy please avoid"French Gourmet Bakery"!
I love this place. It's so homey and has a very relaxed atmosphere!
Pros
- lunch special is awesome! You get a salad, half a sandwich, dessert, coffee or tea, and soup for $10!
- self serve station for drinks and utensils
- spacious seating
- offer a variety of baked goods (pie, cookies, sweet bread)
- service is quick and efficient
Cons
- parking lot is a bit small so it can get tough if it's busy that hour
- no servers so you won't get any attention from the staff. If you need something you need to get up yourself and ask for it
- pastries by itself can be a bit pricey
It's a pretty basic bakery. You won't find intricate desserts with fancy designs, but the down to earth ambience of the place makes it super comfy!
Gorgeous and delicious! We had a special occasion and the wonderful mocha rum cake was perfect!
Great family business and tasty treats! I have to bring my family for lunch soon.
I come all the way from Dallas to buy their bread. Say no more.
Undoubtedly the worst baguette we've ever had. Over-priced and devoid of any flavor whatsoever. Haven't tried anything else there so can only speak to the bread, but will opt for any other bakeries or even HEB before going back there for a "French baguette" again.
We bought 2 baguettes. Very expensive but they were really good quality baguettes.
Best chocolate chip cookies in the world. I'm serious, try them. I've been coming here the better part if 10 years. Always great! Box lunches are really good if you are in a hurry.
