The French Market Colts Neck - Seagirt

This restaurant is tucked out of sight behind other stores in a small mall. The offerings are numerous and well-prepared. The unfortunate part is that this quasi-upscale restaurant serves food in cardboard boxes and coffee in paper cups, rather than china. The coffee is dispensed from thermal containers and is lukewarm and stale as the day wears on (10:30 am). For the money, they should offer china plates and cups. They are also on the hidden charge bandwagon, adding 3.5% to credit card charges, but failing to disclose this clearly upfront and expecting a tip for essentially no tippable services (like McDonalds). The acoustics aren't great with a high level of noise from a few patrons.

This place should feel ashamed of themselves. I ordered a sandwich that had pesto in it and immediately after eating it I felt tingling in my throat and my tounge hurt as well. It felt similar to an allergic reaction except we asked them if the pesto had any nuts in it and they said no. This means that something else was wrong with the pesto and something in it must have been expired because my stomach was hurting very badly as well. I wound up on the toilet later puking because of the sandwich. I can’t recommend anyone to eat at a place if they can’t even do the bare minimum: serve non-expired sanitary food.

I came to the French market when I was driving home and my GPS took me a route I never been down before. Never having been in the area I pulled into the complex the French market is in to see if there were any food spots. I saw this place and figured it would be worth trying whatever they had.I went inside and the staff was pretty friendly. I could have been helped right away but I told him I needed some time to work at the menu. I ended up ordering a sandwich and it was prepared pretty quickly. I sat down in the back and waited for it to be made. It didn't take long and I ate the sandwich there. I had both Brie and a jelly of some sort and was pretty good. All in all I really like the place and if I was around again I would definitely stop it.

Very cute French-style coffee and breakfast shop featuring homemade, creative offerings that are delicious, decadent and enormously fattening.

Doesn’t feel like you are in US. Good vibes, amazing tea and coffee. I will try then food next time.Dietary restrictions: Vegan
