French Bakery & Delicatessen

We stopped in to buy a loaf of bread, and ended up with 2 donuts, 2 baklava and 1 bread pudding in addition to the loaf of bread. Bread was decent, donuts had a nice orange flavour, baklava was not overly sweet. However, the cost of our selection was quite a shock - $6.50 each for the bread and bread pudding, and $29 total. The items we got were good, but they weren't $29 good - the 3 * rating is due to what I perceive to be very high prices.

One of the best hidden gems in all of Norfolk! My husband and I moved to the area around a year ago and quickly came across this awesome sandwich shop. George, the owner, truly makes the experience every time we walk through the door. The sandwiches are phenomenal and worth every penny! It’s hard to find a sandwich made with homemade bread, quality ingredients, and freshly made to order. If you’re looking for a great sandwich and a place with a ton of character and quality go see George at the French Bakery and tell him we said hi!

Great little hole in the wall deli. Handmade in house baked goods and sandwiches. We tried some amazing sweets and plan to come back for the sandwiches. If you're looking for cheap price go grab something from a local grocery store bakery. You can't get this kind of quality from anywhere other than this kind of spot and as the owner said ingredients aren't cheap!

So let me start by saying the pastrami sandwich was damn good and that why this place is getting two stars rather than one. Overall the place was dirty and unorganized and not a nice place to be. He kept saying my girlfriend was going to want a sandwich when she saw mine and when he mentioned chocolate covered bacon I told him she was vegetarian. Later in the interaction he told her to not be so picky because harder times are coming and we are going to have to eat what we can get and get told us in no uncertain terms that we needed to plant a garden. In total we got one sandwich, and two pastries (1 was good, and tasted like pure sugar and cardboard) and it was $35. It was worth $20 at most. So needless to say, not going back, which is unfortunate because that sandwich was good.

Is this Norfolk's best kept secret? It's the best sandwich I've had since living here. I got the pastrami, my wife got a turkey sandwich. They were both amazing and filling. The bread is so good. Great service and the owner has a great personality! There's also some pastries and desserts. They make it all themselves! I got a custard filled eclaire and it was great. Worth checking out, I can't believe more people don't realize this place exists.
