Very nice spot in Rumson, got a French theme and lots of good food options. Glad I stopped in!

The place was cute but lacked basic amenities like toilets or a sink for customers. It offered a variety of cakes and pastries with a dine-in option. I got a latte with cinnamon, but it felt like I was drinking cinnamon powder—it had way too much cinnamon. The coffee itself was very light; I would have preferred a well-balanced drink without an overwhelming amount of cinnamon. I didn’t try any pastries this time, though they looked appealing, but they seemed a bit pricey. I might try them next time.

Adorable little French market. The decor is rustic and beautiful. Both the food and the coffee were delicious. I had the Parisian ham and egg on a roll and it was larger than I had expected. Took home a small petite chocolate flourless cake topped with chocolate ganache (no picture as I forgot to take it before I ate it ) and it was rich and scrumptious. Cannot wait to go back and try something new.

My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose The French Market for Rumson, our 108th town.
This beautiful cafe is decorated in a chic manner for atmosphere. It makes a great backdrop for your Instagram pictures.
It is mostly designed for takeout, where all orders are taken at the counter. They have a limited number of tables to eat in the well-decorated space. However, all food is served in cardboard takeout boxes with plastic utensils, much like Chinese food. (That’s not very French, and not very cafe-like either.) Given the way the cafe is decorated for folks who eat in, and in a well-to-do town like Rumson, I would have expected the option to eat on regular plates w/silverware.
With that being said… the food was EXCELLENT! We both got crepes. One with egg, ham, & swiss, and the other with egg, spinach, & feta. We shared an order of French toast which was made with brioche bread. The crepes were served on a bed of salad, and the French toast was accompanied by a fruit cup.
The cafe also has a selection of pastries and cheeses. We did not try any of these, but they looked good.
If you’re looking for crepes-to-go to satisfy your itch for brunch, the French Market should be on your list.

Charming stop for coffee, tea, pastries, and light bites. The location is absolutely beautiful and clean. We were instantly transported to France as soon as we approached the entrance. Staff were friendly and helpful and the almond croissant was perfect. We loved the paninis so much that we returned two days later to have them again. Parking is available next to the building, as well as on the street.

My girlfriend and I took a chance picking this place. Very satisfied, I got the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant and was so happy with the egg being cooked perfectly, nice and fluffy and the cheese melted. My GF got the mushroom quiche and was also satisfied. For a treat to go, I got a giant chocholate chip cookie that was also delicious. The atmosphere of the interior is very cozy, prices are affordable, and employees are friendly. Very good find, if I visit the area again Im definitely coming back.Also for the coffee being freshly brewed, its so hard to find a good iced coffee that isnt watered down, they also nailed it on the spot for the coffee, a very great way to start my morning!!

It’s a lovely spot that presents itself as a quaint, artisanal market/coffee shop. Yet, I agree with a previous review that Kraft singles aren’t what you expect for a $13 “French” egg, ham, and cheese croissant. My sandwich had light molding on the cheese and a stray hair inside. Overall, I’m disappointed and recommend sticking to coffee.

Just came in for a coffee and I was surprised how adorable it was inside. The muffins and coffee were delicious! More seating than I thought and they sell everything from glassware gift sets to cocktail mixers and cookies. They have a refrigerator dedicated to just French cheeses.

Pastries and quiche were yummy, hot tea and coffee were good. They have iced coffee but not cold brew and some non dairy options for creamers. The seating area inside is small about 4 tables but on nice days there’s a couple outdoor tables. No table service everything is ordered at the counter. Staff is very friendly! Kids are welcome but there’s a lot of breakable items so definitely have to keep them close.

My last visit was today. I usually come in and place my order in person and wait for my food but today I was specifically pressed for a time so I placed the order online to be able to zip in and out. I use the ordering service on their website in which I received an error message, stating that my order was not processed however, my card was still charged. By the time I made it into the store explaining to them that I made the payment and they could just simply make my food because at that point I’ve already paid for it. They’re saying they can’t. They’re not authorized blah blah blah. The recourse was I was supposed to call “toast” The third-party payment system and explain to them what happened. A simple transaction that should have just been a couple minutes now it’s going to take so much longer and added three unnecessary conversations. Their food and coffee is not good enough for all this drama, especially first thing in the morning.
