The baguette was not baked right. It was pliable and mushy inside instead of being crunchy and well baked inside. Coffee mocha had only the taste of strong bitter coffee, not enough milk and notaste of chocolate at all even after stirring it. Butter was not fresh smelling old!

I love an Open Kitchen! Watching the Bakers work, using quality flour, and a clean environment, all the key indicators of a wonderful Bakery!I got the whole wheat focaccia and a baguette, Amy picked up a morning bun and an almond croissant, everyone loved the croissant, I heard remarks such as perfectly balanced, sweet but not too sweet and “did you finish it?” The baguette was sweet and begging to be made into a sandwich.I’m big into focaccia these days and I appreciate a whole wheat half pan, crisp on the edges, large pockets of air and a gentle finish of olive oil. This is a great snack and ready for any dipping or side action.The coffees were excellent! I had an oat milk latte with an extra shot. I’ll be back!

I'm disappointed in this place, the service was sad, the pastries are average to below average and feel overpriced for the quantity you get. The coffee was watery and flavorless. I can't recommend Darshan at the moment.

I love the pastries! And Coffee. Great place to enjoy a breakfast meal with coffee and watch the bakers bake.
Been coming here for a while, always top knotch baked goods, and real french-style sandwiches (good chewy baguette with jambon et beurre), quiches are great!!. Great for a tasty little bite with a view of the ocean!
The baked goods are amazing. I had the chocolate croissant and the cinnamon roll. So great! Soft and delicious. I did heat them both up a little at home.

Do not recommend! I was so looking forward to trying this French patisserie, but man was it a FLOP!The service was horrible, I couldn't believe how rude they were and would not heat up some of the food even though we requested it, the pastries when asked to eat there were served on mini paper plates with the food hanging off. The "almond croissant" had vanilla ish flavored goo in it and I'm not sure besides the almonds on top why it was called that. Just a horrible experience, service and pastries

The sign says French Bakery. I enjoyed the best Florentine Quiche I've ever had - spinach, Greyere, slightly crispy crust, moist. OMG

Only French Bakery items. Nothing gluten- Free. Friendly staff but they looked at me like I have two heads when I asked if they made anything gluten-free. The Mango Lassi was good.
I ordered two Almond Croissants, they were terrible. Burned, dry, gross, and physically hard to take a bite from. Maybe it was a bad day? Starbucks has better pastries. Skip this overpriced parody of a french bakery.

I don't know what's going on with this place. Perhaps changed owners. Quality of the croissants and other pastries and tuna sandwich on focaccia is superb. It's also expensive but I'm okay to pay these prices for quality pastries. But what really irks me for the last 6 months is that the service is terrible. The baristas are all super slow (like 10 minutes for one mocha), and the counter staff today took, I'm not kidding, 12 minutes to pack and sell me 6 pastries, after dumping one of them over in the box and ruining a $8.25 pastry. And I had to ask for a new one. They are all young, sweet and stupid. She couldn't remember my order 3 times. They really need to hire better people with experience and who are fast behind the counter. It doesn't seem to matter what time or day of the week it is, service is always slow and incompetent

My husband loves this spot. He likes the pull apart and baquette It has the crunchy texture in their pastries. I like the ham and cheese croissants and my daughter likes the chocolate. ( she takes off the crunchy shell). The best thing is the prosciutto and Brie baguette sandwich. That will change your life. Also the fresh baked bread with the fresh herbs baked in to the bread is fabulous. Coffee is okay. The service is a bit lacking, no warm and fuzzies, maybe it's occurred once.... But the bread is great and the line is out the door from when they open at 7 AM. Also it's weird that they give you 5 little bags... we continuously have to asks for a box or a large handled bag for our deliciousness. Other wise you're juggling several bags of pastries. They do have a nice seating area outside but we are the early birds. The inside has a few seats and you can watch the bakery chefs throw the window. This is kind of cool. :) Note Brie and prosciutto baguettes are available later in the AM.

Unwelcoming costumer service. The lady at the front gives the most unwelcoming service, short, unfriendly, uninformative answers, annoyed when putting the food in the bag and no greeting response. I even tried to be extra nice, kind and soft, left a 20% tip just in case something about my energy was putting her off, nothing changed.

Good coffee to go. Nicely decorated places with friendly staff. Coffee is reasonably priced for the area and the views from the restaurant are of the ocean.
