The French Bakery — Restaurant in Redmond

I'm normally a very positive reviewer but, my experience at the Redmond French Bakery was simply shocking. Think several times before ordering a sandwich from here.

I know they used to do some good stuff a couple of years ago, but, it appears they've just given up, judging by the reviews of the last 6 months, and my own experience.

Ordered 2 sandwiches. The Turkey and Cranberry was hilariously bad. Two, wet, bedraggled pieces of turkey, and a very light spurt of what seemed to be Cranberry but, we can't really be sure. That. Was. It. $6.99 for a half.

Also got a ham cheese panini with bacon. The panini bread was lovely! But it was all down hill from there. The cheese was cold, unmelted, and sparse. The bacon? Lol. Two TINY bits of what looked like fast food bacon. $11.99. For that.

This was so bad I didn't bother bringing it back. They clearly don't...

I was so disappointed today! I ordered their turkey sandwich and it was awful! The bread was stale and the one slice of cold cut turkey was sad. I took it up with the manager and instead of just apologizing to me, she argued with me. She told me I should have complained about the sandwich because now I had already eaten half the sandwich. Well I had left the bakery to eat the sandwich outside of the restaurant. I was just going to let it go, but after taking a bite of the second half of the sandwich, I noticed it was worse than the first half. But why did the manager argue with me? Especially, since I didn't want a refund or a new sandwich, I was just letting her know of the poorly made sandwich so they can retrain their staff on how to make a sandwich. I doubt I will be returning soon! I was going to buy a whole cake for my party, but...

We ordered two whole cakes over the past month for family birthdays. The first cake looked great, but was a bit frozen on the inside upon cutting. I was surprised, but thought that maybe it’s not a very popular cake and they freeze extras for when needed. The second cake was their most popular Strawberry one. When I took it out of the box to serve on the table, I noticed the frosting has cracks on top and when I started cutting it, the strawberries inside were frozen! Like crunchy frozen. Please notify your customers that they’re buying frozen cakes that may not be fully thawed and make extra time for proper thawing. I ordered 48 hours before pick up and that evening both 9in cakes were slightly frozen inside. Also, I’m not sure if it’s a standard practice to freeze a $55 cake, but I expected a...
