Visited this bakery cafe today and was very pleased. Everyone is very nice and the cafe feels cozy. We ordered a strawberry tart, cookie and breakfast croissant. We were all very pleased with the flavor.

My husband and I would gain 100 pounds if we lived closer to the French Oven! Everything was excellent. I hear it is pretty crowded on the weekend. It's a good thing we are retired! Our friends said they have been picking up pre-made dinners on Fridays and have enjoyed them. Tables are outside and there are no heaters. Bundle up and go enjoy!

We were very excited to see the types of pastries and breads available. Got a variety of breads and pastries on a Saturday morning. Forgot to give us one of our items (were very nice when we went back to get it). Majority of pastries tasted day-old. Breads were fresh, although rather dense.

As a lover of baked goods and pastries, I've tried countless bakeries but The French Oven truly stands out as one of the best (if not THE best). It's a family owned establishment that really has a passion for quality baked goods! While the location itself is very small they have outdoor seating but beware as they do get quite busy on the weekends and tend to sell out of their popular items. Some of my family's favorites here are the Almond Croissant (or any croissant really), the Kouigh Amann. What's special about The French Oven is they have a wide selection of not only sweet boulangerie items but also many savory breakfast treats - they are a must visit!

Yum! Too bad I cannot only say one word. This bakery is in an upscale residential area. The owner bakes some of the best croissants. I feel like I'm back in France in one of the many patisserie's. They have fresh made sandwiches and drinks. Go early or you'll miss out. Everything goes by fast!!! My fav is the choco croissant. Clean, and very friendly. Try it! This is one of few that I have a 5.

The wide variety and high quality of baked goodies that this place churns out is unbelievable. Service is prompt and seating is on the patio.

The French Oven bakery is always an exceptional experience for me and my husband. Their sandwich batards are a standout, with a perfect balance of crustiness and softness, making each bite a delight. The quality of their bread is unparalleled, with a texture that's both light and hearty. Whether you're craving a classic Turkey Avocado BLT or a gourmet La Ficelle combination, their sandwiches never disappoint. Pastries are absolutely delicious too. For bread lovers seeking top-notch quality, The French Oven bakery is a must-visit place.

Food is amazing and staff is super friendly. I wish they had more seating available because this place is just amazing!! Parking can get tight as the lot is small and the spaces are small as well.

Array of French pastries and savory sandwiches. Great cookies, croissants, morning treats. Salads, homemade soups, dinners reserved in advance,. Wonderful to have such a terrific cafe in our neighborhood. They close at 3 and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

A hidden gem! The best almond croissants, truly so light and buttery and delightful. Also obsessed with their custard fruit tarts- i could eat this daily. They have a big variety of baked goods, desserts, sandwiches, and coffee drinks. Wish there was more outdoor seating but so happy they got a bigger space!
