About Us

A close-up of beautifully arranged pastries with strawberries. — The French Workshop
A close-up of beautifully arranged pastries with strawberries.

Since its founding in 2015, The French Workshop has been redefining what a neighborhood bakery can be. Inspired by the open-concept boulangeries of Paris, this Bayside location brings that same spirit to Queens, with a workshop-style setup where the craft is on full display and the aroma of butter-laminated dough hits you the moment you walk through the door.

The menu earns its 4.5-star reputation across nearly 2,800 reviews through specifics: Turkish Swiss Croissants layered with savory depth, macarons in an ever-rotating lineup of flavors, and baguettes stuffed with country-style ham and Swiss that hold their own against anything you'd find on the Rue de Rivoli. There is seating for those who want to linger over a cappuccino, though the space is intimate by design.

The French Workshop is not a one-off. It is a growing artisan chain with franchise opportunities available, which means the same quality standards and open-kitchen philosophy carry across every location. For Bayside regulars, that consistency is the whole point.

What We Offer

The bakery side is the anchor. Every morning brings fresh croissants, cakes, tarts, and breads baked in-house, along with a selection of pastries that changes with the season. The macaron case alone is reason enough to stop in, with enough flavor variety to make choosing genuinely difficult.

Beyond the pastry counter, the café menu covers espresso drinks, cappuccinos, and a full range of hot and cold beverages to pair with your order. Sandwiches and savory bites round out the midday offering, making The French Workshop a legitimate lunch destination, not just a morning stop. The loyalty rewards program gives regulars a reason to keep coming back, accumulating points with every visit.

For those interested in bringing the concept to a new market, franchise opportunities are available through the company's growing network. Whether you are a daily customer or a prospective partner, The French Workshop is built around the idea that great bread and honest hospitality should be accessible every day of the week.

"Came to the French Workshop for the first time and tried the macarons, they were so delicious. They have so many different flavors to choose from, which I loved. The workers were also really kind and gave me great recommendations on which ones to get. Definitely coming back!"

"This should be a 4.4. Cute Bistro where you can grab delicious Baguettes with Country Style Ham, and Swiss, along with a plethora of Heavenly pastries. The Turkey Swiss Croissant is a savory bite of flaky deliciousness. Some of our favorite sweeter bites include the Raspberry Creme Brulee Cheesecake. It's rich, not too dense, with a delectable Crumble-style crust. Also, the Fruit Tart, which is an extremely light whipped custard. It's so light, it almost feels solely like fresh whipped cream versus a custard. It's topped with plump Strawberries, Blackberries and Blueberries. Their coffee's decent too, along with various milks, except Coconut, which they should get. We normally get their Caramel Macchiato, which is very smooth. Overall, it's one of our favorite quick bite spots and never disappoints!"
