Save yourself and DO NOT ENTER if you are hungry. I promise myself every time I go to only get one item. But when I open the door and the heavenly smell of exquisitely baked goods hits my nose, it’s all over. I can’t say I’ve had everything they make, but I CAN say I’ve not had a single item I wouldn’t ‘try’ again.
A wonderfully quaint find! This kitschy location has it all! Warm feeling, good food, and panache! I couldn’t decide what I wanted more so I tried the strawberry croissant, tiramisú, a heated cinnamon roll, and a lemon bar! Each bite was more delicious than the next! If you’re in Durham this is a must see/visit/eat! Bon appetite!
We went to the French Corner Bakery this weekend and it was lovely. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and tables were clean, tidy, and cute. I had a blueberry Danish and my partner had a ham and cheese on a croissant. Both were delicious. My husband said his latte was excellent as well.
This place is a gem. The breads are to die for the cranberry pecan is one of my favorites. They have coffees and pastries. You can’t go wrong with anything you choose. The Ladies are wonderful and so sweet! The atmosphere and vibes are great, the tables are old sowing tables. The strawberry croissant was so refreshing. 10/10 you should definitely come here!
Fantastic little spot hidden away around the corner. The pastries are delicious, the mouse cake is velvety and rich, the black and white cookie is good too. It has a good atmosphere. There are 7 old sewing machine tables converted to cafe tables and countless Eiffel Towers. It’s very cozy and comfortable. They also make custom cakes. Give it a try.

Authentic French pastries and cozy charm in the heart of Durham.
