This tiny bakery has quite an array of great looking pastries. We stopped in for a cup of coffee. The coffee was delicious; but it took a very long time to get it because the place was so busy. Well, a busy place usually means it is good.... definitely true for this one! More

You can get sandwiches and baked goods to eat in the small dining area inside and outside, but this is really a bakery, not a restaurant. All the baked items are excellent, and the breads are top notch. My wife goes crazy for the carrot cake! More

Try the almond croissants from this delightful little restaurant. Only downer was the somewhat weak coffee but the croissant melted in our mouths. More

The atmosphere is eclectic and they have an outside table. If you are wanting a coffee and pastry this is a fun place. I bought their biscotti to bring home and they were above average. The pastries are fresh and I enjoyed a french croissant. If I were in town alone this would be a nice place to take a... More

I stop at this bakery every time I go to Cambria - they have espresso machines, wooden bench seating inside against the wall (some local groups meet there), parking in front, some small tables bordering the sidewalk, and the best baked goods I've ever had. It was difficult to pick what I wanted for breakfast last Sunday before I left... More

We popped in for a couple of coffees one afternoon. The lady behind the counter was incredibly grumpy - I know we all have off days, but we were really put off by her surly attitude. The coffee itself was fine, but nothing outstanding. More

Dropped in for a warm drink and pastry. I had the white chocolate milk and it was enjoyable. They have several different types of chocolate cake, we ordered the Rasberry chocolate and they gave us German chocolate, didn't realize it until we were half way through it and notice no rasberrys at all.......didn't bother to say anything to the servers,...

The bakery has wonderful fresh bread and desserts you can take back to your rental. Sandwiches, coffee, etc. Dine out in one of the restaurants in town and forget about dessert at the restaurant. Stop by The French Corner Bakery and buy a large slice of carrot take to take home (or enjoy in the bakery.) The cake is super... More

I thought this would be the perfect place to have some lunch in Cambria. A cute little bakery with fresh sandwiches was appealing to me. Thankfully the food did not disappoint. I got an italian style sub ($8.25) and it was big and delicious. However I feel I have to comment on some of the worst service I have received... More
