Village French Bakery is a cozy French bakery tucked into a quiet corner of Glendale’s Kenneth Road, offering more than just quick pastries—a spot where neighbors seem to make it a habit to stop by for both their morning coffee and afternoon sweet fix. The atmosphere here feels intimate and welcoming, with friendly staff who take the time to make customers feel comfortable, whether you’re grabbing a single croissant or placing a larger order for a celebration.

The bakery's strength lies in its French-style pastries, especially fresh fruit tarts that showcase bright, seasonal berries with careful attention to presentation. These are not just dessert items, but often part of local gatherings and special occasions, thanks to the ease of ordering ahead and the staff’s accommodating approach to pickup. Aside from the pastries, their coffee offerings like mocha and double espresso come recommended, serving as an energizing complement to the sweet treats.

Visitors often describe the pace here as relaxed, making it a good choice for quiet mornings or mid-afternoon breaks. Locals appreciate that the space isn’t rushed—whether you’re sitting with a slice of tiramisu cappuccino cheesecake or picking up a coconut cake with fruit to share. The bakery also has a subtle neighborhood charm, reinforced by small gestures like staff assisting customers with their orders to the car and occasionally sending guests home with an unexpected baguette bonus when the day winds down.

This spot suits those who enjoy the ritual of artisanal, thoughtfully prepared pastries paired with quality coffee, especially families or small groups looking for a pleasant, low-key atmosphere away from busier commercial strips. Early to mid-morning during weekdays or just before closing time can offer a calm experience, allowing you to savor the food and friendly service at a leisurely pace.

Ordered 4 fruit tarts from Village French Bakery for my husband's 50th Birthday celebration. They were delicious (the berries were very fresh and sweet and the presentation was dramatic) and a huge hit with the guests, who ate every last bite. Great and easy experience ordering these on the phone a week ahead of time and picking up the tarts. The staff offered to help me out to my car with them. Really lovely and delicious community bakery.

I loved this cute little place in Kenneth Village. It reminds me of how things used to be when it was all mom and pop brick and mortar shoppes. I ordered a Cappuccino and Crème Brûlée. Their prices were so affordable and I loved sitting outside and people watching. What a lovely place and town square.
