French Memories

The quaint, colorful interior, small tables and chairs, and alluring scent of croissants, tortes, and cakes straight out of the oven gives this local favorite a true European flair.

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and offering outdoor seating in the summer, the café offers a charming, small-town ambience that makes stepping into this French parlor an absolute delight.

For breakfast, French Memories offers croissants that are crisp, light, and buttery.

The honey cinnamon and cranberry walnut varieties will melt in your mouth, and the smell of these freshly bakes goodies will make it impossible not to sample one straight away. Flavored croissants vary in price from $2.00 to $2.25.

With traditional offerings such as ham, roast beef, and turkey on a homemade baguette for lunch, their custom-made sandwiches have the same light, fresh taste as their pastries.

Their rich, sliced mozzarella, tomato, sweet roasted red pepper, and pesto on a baguette ($6.25) never disappoints, as the vibrant colors and flavors will make you quickly forget that this eatery is best known for its desserts.

Chocolate éclairs

The combination of cakes, tortes, and pies has assured French Memories of its unparalleled reputation. Favorites include their homemade apple pie ($14.95 for a whole pie) and their rich, creamy chocolate éclairs ($2.75 apiece). Petit four sizes of all desserts ($1.25 each) are available daily - perfect to share.

Whether you are picking up a pastry on the way to the beach, stopping by for a delectable lunch, or looking to purchase a pie, the baked goods of French Memories are highly recommended.

Also, be sure to pick up a loaf of their award-winning breads ($2.25 for a baguette), which are baked fresh daily.

This popular French bakery has three other locations in the Boston area - a popular café in Beacon Hill, a more modern establishment in the Chestnut Hill Mall, and their newest location in the Sharon town center (see their website for further information).
