Working from home can sometimes be tedious, so I traveled to one of my frequent working spots: The French Market.

The French Market in Rumson and Colts Neck, NJ is a quaint, family-owned business that brings a touch of France to Monmouth County. With its unique selection of coffee, freshly baked bread, and authentic French pastries, the French Market has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Freshly baked bread is a highlight of the French Market. The market’s bread is made in-house daily, using traditional French baking techniques. The selection includes baguettes and other artisanal breads.

Of course, no visit to the French Market would be complete without indulging in one of their authentic French pastries. The market’s pastry case is filled with tempting treats such as croissants, pain au chocolat, and macarons. The pastries are made using high-quality ingredients and traditional French recipes, resulting in a taste that transports you straight to Paris.

Their main business is a café that serves classic French pastries, crepes, baguettes, and other menu items. Additionally, they offer off-site catering services for events and gatherings.

The market’s owner, Carli Windsor, is passionate about sharing their love of French culture and cuisine with their customers. She takes pride in sourcing the best ingredients and providing exceptional customer service.

The restaurant’s menu features a diverse selection of food options including crepes (both sweet and savory), breakfast sandwiches, paninis, salads, quiche, and sandwiches that showcase French specialties such as Croque Monsieur. The bread is freshly baked two to three times per day, and the kitchen incorporates locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.

Aside from its food menu, the establishment also offers imported packaged foods like lemonades, mints, and caviar. Guests can also find a selection of quality cheeses, coffee, and tea to indulge in.

Additionally, The French Market is a retailer of floral arrangements and specialty gifts. Many of the items sold at the shop are sourced directly from France and shipped to the store. The store features a variety of small gifts that are perfect for housewarming parties or for pampering oneself. These items include dish towels, candles, salts, and soaps, among others.

The location is an ideal destination for both leisurely visits and as a workspace.
