The French Workshop is an artisan bakery-café chain founded in 2015, drawing inspiration from the boulangeries of Paris. With a refined, open-concept workshop, we proudly showcase our signature pastries, cakes, croissants, and sandwiches, along with an extensive selection of coffees and beverages.
With bakery-cafés amounting to a $17.1 billion business in the U.S. alone, and market size expected to increase over the next five years*, The French Workshop stands at the forefront of this thriving industry.

Our mission is to bring the best café experience through our high-quality goods and close-knit community atmosphere with the same openness as our "workshop.”
This philosophy extends to our valued partnerships with franchisees, fostering a culture of collaboration and shared success long before and after you open the doors to your shop.
