The French Bakery Crossroads Bellevue - Bakery and Cake Shop in Bellevue - 15600 NE 8th St K-4, USA

This French bakery, with its quaint charm and bustling atmosphere, earns a 3.5 stars from my recent visits. Space: Its Small but Cozy. The limited seating area adds to the bakery's intimate appeal and the French cafe experience. It might get crowded and noisy during peak hours though. Busy Vibes: The busy atmosphere is a testament to the bakery's popularity. There’s almost always a line to order. It's a vibrant spot buzzing with activity and traffic from the mall. However, the hustle and bustle might not suit those seeking a quiet, contemplative setting or looking to get some work done. Delicious French Delights: The food undoubtedly steals the show. From buttery croissants to delightful pastries, the bakery excels in delivering authentic French flavors. The menu offers a satisfying variety, making it a go-to spot for indulging in sweet and savory treats. Tried croissants and spinach pastry with coffee and all were decent. Attentive Service: The staff's attentiveness stands out amidst the busyness. Despite the hustle, they manage to provide friendly and efficient service, ensuring customers feel welcomed and attended to. Not sure how they decide to serve some food/drinks in disposables while others in real crockery in the same dine-in order. Overall, this French bakery, with its good food and lively atmosphere, is a good choice for those craving strong coffee and authentic crepes, croissants, cakes and paninis. While the small seating area may pose challenges during peak hours, the bustling vibe adds to the charm.

Whenever I crave delicious baked treats, this French bakery is my top choice. They craft special pastries, cakes, and bread with traditional flavors. After multiple visits, I can confidently say they bake fresh daily, and I've never been disappointed. The staff is friendly, creating an inviting atmosphere. However, the bakery is often crowded, making it a bit challenging to find a seat, and it can get noisy. My favorites from this place are: Savory: 1) Veggies and Havarati Panini (Hot Grilled) 2) Jalapeno and Cream cheese croissant 3) Basil pesto and tomato croissant Sweet/ Desserts: 1) Strawberry Cream cheese danish 2) Pain Au Chocolat 3) Fresh fruit cream cheese croissant 4) Marionberry Cream Cheese croissant 5) Cream cheese danish

I was super excited to visit this place. But I was super sad. I can't believe they only slapped one piece of turkey on this sandwich. Huh? It was not a panni, the cheese wasn't even melted. Although, the crepe was good. But Nutella can make anything good. ;) The pastries look more appetizing. Just won't be back for the sandwiches. And on a paper plate?

I come here once a month. The service is lacking but the pastries are good. There is a self order kiosk or you can order ahead or wait in line. There is a reward system based on amount spent ($1 a point). The ham and cheese croissant is way tastier than Starbucks. The croissant here is quite buttery. It reminds me of St.Honore ( portland). The Lorraine quiche (bacon) is decent. I usually reheat the quiche and pastries at home. ( see pics, that is why the quiche looks more toasted). The croissants are never warm in the center. The salmon quiche and the Nutella pastry left very little to desired. I would pass on the coffee. I have tried the lattes, cold brew and mocha. They were average. For the price point I would go elsewhere. The only drink that is a good deal is the Thai iced tea. I always get the Thai iced tea here instead of the Thai restaurants nearby. With the drinks I find the drink modification requests don't get honored. Wish they would put the lid on the drink instead of making customers do it since not everyone has that mobility. This place does not have wifi. If it does it is not obvious. The place is small so not good for large groups. The indoor seating fits about 10 people comfortably. This place could seat about 15-18 people but then there are going to lots of people standing near your table waiting for their to go items. There is bar top seat which fits 3 chairs but it is close to the tables. They have about 3 tables outside. There is no heated lamps outside. Parking is fairly easy. There is a large parking lot.

We took a black forest pie, Latte, Cappuchino, almond croissant and cheese Danish. The ambience was perfect for a cozy coffeehouse, neat and clean. Small but well organized space. I also liked the crowd at the place. Its located at a great spot right adjacent to crossroads market and Safeway. The coffee was great, cheese Danish was like little peace of heaven and the pastry was delicious too. I would visit again.

The hype is real here. Pastries are fresh and absolutely delicious. Lots of seating to you can enjoy your pastry and a nice cup of coffee. They have some outdoor seating and lots of parking. My favorite item is the strawberry cream cheese croissant danish. *chefs kiss*

My favorite place, with best coffee and fantastic delicious sandwiches, but sometimes they are disrespectful and lazy. Today they brought me a dirty spoon with dried food. Sanitary epidemiological station should check the kitchen for cleanliness and order

Not enough words to explain how amazing this place is with their pastries and coffee. My husband loved his sandwich and my panini was amazing. The lightest Black Forest cake I have ever had as that’s how I like my cake and their cinnamon pastry was out of the world. This place is a must if you visit Bellevue or just drive up there for a quick bite trust me, so worth it 🥰
