My mother always said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything. BUT, she also said, ""Always tell the truth"". Well, I am here to tell you the truth. This is by far the worst representation of an authentic french bakery I have ever experienced. It's just like Paris. Yep......Paris, Texas! Definitely not Paris, France! (Except the rudeness!)
Save your money and get a sandwich from another metropolitan restaurant. Definitely DO NOT indulge in the extremely overpriced mediocre patries! Just not worth it! This place is downright insulting!
You've got to be kidding me! Come on Norfolk and Southeastern VA. Don't let people tell you it's champagne and it's just Kool-Aid!
If you want to get something close to the real deal and the best sandwiches, OUTSTANDING and reasonably priced (average price $4.00), generously portioned patries and OH THE VARIETY!, go to Jean Jacques Bakery in Richmond, VA. EVERYTHING THERE IS FRESH AND QUITE ENJOYABLE! - Soup, salads, sandwiches, patries, breads, cookies, etc.... It's worth the drive. (Not open on Sundays.) The atmostphere is divine and the customer service is inviting. I am no way affiliated with Jean Jacques, but I definitely know awesome food when I experience it.
French Bakery and Delicatessen is shameful and disgusting! (AND TOO DARK!) Just don't waste your time, money or taste buds.
