The cashier, an Asian-looking male, was one of the rudest customer service employees I’ve encountered. No greeting, no courtesy, and no basic communication skills—just an unpleasant attitude from start to finish. At this point, a customer-service robot would probably provide a warmer welcome and a better experience. Customer-facing roles require at least basic professionalism, and this interaction fell far short of that.

Always have loved going back to French Riviera. They serve the best French food. It’s really simple and they make the best latte using Segafredo Zanetti coffee.

Absolutely everything is delicious! I don't want to say too much for fear of missing out on my favorite pastries. They serve Italian coffee and breakfast all day. Absolutely worth a visit! Heads up: no restrooms available

First time trying this cafe and it was absolutely amazing. The service was very reassuring and nicely straightforward. Food was 10/10 the fruit tart and blueberry cream cheese croissant was fantastic. If you’re looking to eat something good and healthy light but still filling definitely get the Heart Healthy Scramble. If you’re looking for a good meaty filling breakfast, the Bacon n Cheese Scramble in a croissant breakfast sandwich. Parking is a bit tight but well worth it to get a good experience here. There is shops around and a very nice patio outside seating.

Great customer service experience. After placing my order, they provided a paging device to let me know when it’s ready. Wait time for my order is always reasonable. They do a consistently fantastic job with their Blueberry Cream Cheese Croissant and no matter how many times I try it, the flavor, taste, and ingredients are always of the highest quality. The atmosphere is well designed with indoor and umbrella-covered outdoor seating. The parking area is limited but I feel it’s well worth the challenge to visit this establishment.

If you're in Houston and looking for a delightful dining experience, I can't recommend the French Riviera Bakery Cafe highly enough! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a cute and inviting atmosphere that exudes a charming European vibe. It truly feels like a little slice of France in the heart of Texas! The breakfast options are fantastic, making it a perfect spot to kick start your day. The coffee is exceptional—each sip transports you back to our time living in Europe, with rich flavors that are so reminiscent of authentic cafés. Both the presentation and the taste are top-notch, leaving you eager to return for more. I highly recommend trying their vegetable omelette, which is not only delicious but also beautifully crafted. The Quiche Lorraine is a must-try, and the croissants and baguettes are genuinely Parisian, flaky and buttery, just like you would find in a quaint café in France. Whether you're dining in or taking out, this place is perfect for gatherings with family and friends. It’s a cozy spot that invites conversation and good company. Each visit feels like a mini-vacation abroad. Don’t miss out on this delightful gem while you're in Houston!
