“ A great cafe with wonderful staff. They have a good assortment of pasteries and cakes, though it can empty out quickly on busy days which is fair. It may be difficult to find parking because it's a popular little area. It's my favorite spot in the area! ”

“ Stopped in for a little something sweet after brunch. It's a quaint coffee shop/bakery that offered a very big selections of pastries. The selection they offered were all appetizing as each was calling my name. Ended up picking up a slice of a chocolate cake, and chocolate double cream puff, cream puff, ham and cheese croissant as well as a tart. ”

“ Have been going here for many years. Everything they bake is delicious. It is a popular & loved neighborhood place, so it is important to get there early on the weekends, for a larger pastry selection. ”

“ Absolutely love the fresh pastries from this place that are made daily. Just walking in is a wonderful experience with the smell of fresh baked croissants! ”

“ Everything in this place is not only the best I have ever had, but the prices are so reasonable, it's become my go-to place. Try their coconut cake at least once. I took it to a party and people started fighting over it. ”

“ I Just wanted to get a quick treat for my love while walking the Kenneth VILLIAGE shops- I discovered a potent and flavorful cup of Crème Brûlée from the VILLIAGE FRENCH BAKERY- My love Natalie loved it! Before leaving I asked the bakery saleswoman if they made Pumpernickel Bread? She answered yes! But when we looked at the bread shelf she saw none - but she would ask the Baker if he had one in back- Yes he had one . I hoped it would have the old world pumpernickel flavor- Arriving home we both looked forward to a slice, and it was amazing! The real deal - not just a brown coloredpiece of bread, but a real delicious PUMPERNICKEL ! Their special bakery items also looked very unique and tantalizing Rick & Natalie - Silverlake, California ”

“ Best crème brûlée I've ever had! Wasn't sure as the establishment looks a little dated. So glad I stopped in! Great prices too ”

“ In search of a good assortment of croissants? In Los Angeles? Not the hinterlands? That includes savory as well as sweet choices? And flaky, properly created authentic to the original French (not Tasmanian, for example) icon? At hours that normal folks can visit? Below the price of $10 a piece? In a clean and friendly environment? Where you can buy, let's say, two dozen pieces on the spot, to take to an upscale event? Good luck! They are scarcer than crow's teeth here. With a full week of scrolling and swiping I have finally found a couple that satisfy most of these criteria, i.e., clean, friendly, good schedule, good variety, well priced, high quality and authentic, and in a lovely reachable neighborhood too. On a dismal gray February day, leaping between downpours, we made our way to Village French Bakery and feel our selecting this pastry emporium amid the hundreds of others that failed our checklist was truly justified. I want to take a couple of dozen of the best French-style pastries to a morning event taking place soon, and I don't want all of them to be sweet, as this is a breakfast gig and a lot of people no longer want a sugar high first thing in the morning. (It is such an American thing to throw sugar --- or worse, high fructose corn syrup [yech] into every meal element. Do people now sprinkle their over-easies with granules too? Just saying ...) There is only one tiny thing that bothers me here and everywhere else: there is very little in-store stock of croissants (not cakes and other delicious dessert items like cake-- see my pictures) at almost any time of day past 7 am. Bummer. At least one can get to Village French easily (right off the 5 freeway) and we can order by phone a few days in advance for pickup. I am not sure why this is, other than, pastries don't hold up well sitting for days on a shelf and bakeries, as elegant and exquisite as they can be, like this one, have small profit margins. OR, their croissants are so amazingly good that they sell out immediately, every single day. In any case, they are doing us a service and since I am grateful this bakery exists at all, I will not complain. I feel lucky to have found it. ”
