The French Market

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

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.
