This restaurant is tucked out of sight behind other stores in a small mall. The offerings are numerous and well-prepared. The unfortunate part is that this quasi-upscale restaurant serves food in cardboard boxes and coffee in paper cups, rather than china. The coffee is dispensed from thermal containers and is lukewarm and stale as the day wears on (10:30 am). For the money, they should offer china plates and cups. They are also on the hidden charge bandwagon, adding 3.5% to credit card charges, but failing to disclose this clearly upfront and expecting a tip for essentially no tippable services (like McDonalds). The acoustics aren't great with a high level of noise from a few patrons.

This place should feel ashamed of themselves. I ordered a sandwich that had pesto in it and immediately after eating it I felt tingling in my throat and my tounge hurt as well. It felt similar to an allergic reaction except we asked them if the pesto had any nuts in it and they said no. This means that something else was wrong with the pesto and something in it must have been expired because my stomach was hurting very badly as well. I wound up on the toilet later puking because of the sandwich. I can’t recommend anyone to eat at a place if they can’t even do the bare minimum: serve non-expired sanitary food.

I came to the French market when I was driving home and my GPS took me a route I never been down before. Never having been in the area I pulled into the complex the French market is in to see if there were any food spots. I saw this place and figured it would be worth trying whatever they had.I went inside and the staff was pretty friendly. I could have been helped right away but I told him I needed some time to work at the menu. I ended up ordering a sandwich and it was prepared pretty quickly. I sat down in the back and waited for it to be made. It didn't take long and I ate the sandwich there. I had both Brie and a jelly of some sort and was pretty good. All in all I really like the place and if I was around again I would definitely stop it.

Very cute French-style coffee and breakfast shop featuring homemade, creative offerings that are delicious, decadent and enormously fattening.

We're regular customers at the Rumson location but it's a bit far for us. We found out recently there is a new location and we gave it a visit. Never disappoint. Fresh bread, pastry and there sandwiches are amazing. I just wish they have a bigger outdoors seating area.

Can't rate the food or atmosphere because we never got to eat there. We walk in, stand at the counter waiting for the girl behind the counter to take our order but she doesn't. What happens is some lady walks up to the counter and starts ordering her food. She just walked right up, didn't see us standing right there, grabs a menu and starts ordering! Unbelievable. Unbelievable that the girl behind the counter didn't even she us standing right in front of her and asks that lady if she can take her order! Cannot recommend such a place with such terrible service!! Service doesn't even deserve 1 star!!

The pistachio croissant is A++. I’ve been searching for one locally ever since a trip to Italy and I finally found a place that lives up to my beloved Positano croissant. Can’t wait to keep coming back for more!The parmesan-leek and strawberry croissants were excellent, too.
The atmospheres okay he service is okay the food is pretty decent when I go out of my way to be there again probably but it's always good to try something

Ambiance is basic functional in doors. Did not look out back at the seatin. Service was self service. you order at the cash register and get a flashing buzzing hand held to let you know your food is ready for you to pick up. There is a tip box in front of the cash register- for self serve?? Your paper receipt has a surprise ending where the French Market charges 3.5% service fee - no not for credit card use but for " a Covid thing" as it was explained. They are apparently embarrassed to display a sign mentioning the 3.5% because it is located around the corner behind the cashier on a side wall to an exit door. Not the main door. Food is tasty and the displays are very eye friendly.

Loved the outdoor seating and my food came out quick and was packed with protein. They didn’t skimp on the inside of the Parisian ham egg and cheese and the coffee was smooth and delicious!

The French Market in CN is wonderful! The atmosphere is very enjoyable and fun, and the food is always excellent - everything is made fresh and very well. You can tell all is made with love and care, especially when little flowers are presented as garnish and tucked in to your order for a delightful surprise!

Beautiful interior design & atmosphere. It feels very french cafe. I got the veggie burger. It was tastier than most veg burgers. It was HUGE. I also have to talk about how soft and fresh the bread/bun was ...that alone was worth the price which was what stole the 5th star: the price. So expensive. The community is rich so I understand but it's $$$.Vegetarian options: Some veg options
