La francesita gourmet bakery

Nice atmosphere with a tasty menu. You order at the counter and find a seat. Unfortunately, the wait time was over 30 min for food to come out. My Mediterranean toast dish came out cold. My husband’s dish came out 5 min after mine. I sent mine back to be reheated which it was but then it came out soggy. $45 for artisan toast , a very basic omelette that came with 1 slice of plain bread ( not toasted, no butter- had to ask for jam) and 2 coffees. Overpriced for what you get imo.

The place is cute. It’s 35 mins away from where I live,and it’s really not what I expected. They give small portions and it’s a little overpriced for me. My husband took a picture of his Omelette six ($15.45)and it’s very flat . On the picture it looks big but it was because the way he took the photo.They charged 3.50 for adding some type of sausage ( $18.95 total for a flat omelette and some toast )but there was barely any. You can’t see it on the picture , but it wasn’t filling for him since we were having our first meal (brunch). He ordered a kids meal somewhere else after we left because he still felt hungry, which he’s never had to do before . We ordered a plate of egg, bacon and a toast for my toddler ($12.50) too little food for that price.I ordered a California panini ($13.45)because I figured that would be filling and it dill fill me up because of the bread , but it doesn’t have too much on the inside,a little stingy with their proteins in my opinion.Finally we got some water ourselves in a small plastic cup. It looks like a restaurant inside ,but service is more like some fast food places because they will take you the food to your table , but that’s it.I must say that I also ordered a Texan panini to-go because my daughter really wanted to try it, but this was our first and last time here. I really wish I would of loved it. Maybe some reasonable prices for the amount of food especially with the omelettes.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting La Francesita Gourmet Bakery Café at 9950 Woodlands Parkway, Suite 400, The Woodlands, TX 77382, and I absolutely loved it. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I had escaped to a cozy little café in France. The atmosphere is warm and inviting — soft lighting, tasteful French‐inspired décor, and a pleasant hum of conversation. It’s clear this is a family‐owned spot that takes pride in its food and service. I arrived in the morning, just after 8 AM when they open, and lucked out — the pastries were fresh and plentiful. I ordered a croissant (flaky, buttery, more than satisfying), a panini made on their house‐baked bread, and a latte. The panini was crisp on the outside and loaded with fresh ingredients; the latte was smooth and just the right roast. I also tried their “Palmier,” which others have called a highlight, and I see why — elegant, delicate layers and sweet without being overwhelming. Evidently these sell out if you wait too long, so going early is smart. Service was friendly and attentive. I felt welcome without feeling rushed. A nice balance. The staff seemed knowledgeable about their menu and eager to help with recommendations. Of course, it’s not a bargain basement café — prices are on the higher side. But for the quality of ingredients, the homemade breads, and the craftsmanship, I felt it was worth it. If I were to nitpick, I’d say: get there early if you want the full pastry selection, and be ok with spending a bit more than you might at a chain. But those are small trade‐offs given how much I enjoyed the experience. Overall, La Francesita is a gem in The Woodlands — perfect for a relaxed weekend breakfast or brunch, a good coffee stop, or when you want something more than the usual café fare. I’ll be going back.

My first time visiting La Francesita and I absolutely loved it! The palmier is out of this world, truly one of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

If you’ve spent anytime in France, you’ll appreciate the quality food and experience at La Francesita. I grew up outside of Paris and everytime I eat here, I’m taken back to my childhood. We come here almost every Saturday morning as a family. The quality of the pastries is incredible! My wife and I are huge fans of the artesian toasts that they offer. The family and staff that run this place are terrific. If you want to experience an authentic French cafe experience, this is your stop!
