The French Bakery

My wife brought home a baguette today, and we found out that it was old and stale. Based on how dry and crumbly it was, it must have been about 2 days old by the time it was sold. This is ridiculous and totally unacceptable. No self-respecting baker would do this. Bread needs to be fresh. If it doesn't sell the day it was baked, you donate it, recycle it, compost it, or maybe give it away or sell it for 1/2 price near the end of the day. You don't just pretend that it's still sellable and sell it to unsuspecting customers. If you don't understand this, you know nothing about bread and are a disgrace to the profession.

Cost $37 inc tip for 2 croque madames which were wayyyy worse than deli sandwiches. 15% minimum tip selection to bus the food ourselves and put the plates and silverware away. The place is a scam for lunch.

Just go to the French Bakery in Redmond, because this one sucks. Eveything tastes stale and just weird. I really wish it was even half as good the one in Redmond!

I've had the unfortunate experience of ordering a custom cake from this French bakery two years in a row, well in advance, only to find out they forgot to prepare it both times. This left us with no choice but to scramble for a ready-made cake on the day of the celebration. I'm disheartened to say there won't be a third time. I feel compelled to advise my acquaintances against relying on this bakery for their special occasions. The lack of professionalism and forgetfulness displayed here is not what you would expect, and it almost feels like a disregard for the customer. It's a disappointing representation of what one would expect from such an establishment in America.
