French Village Bakery in Castlereagh

Ordered cake so fresh and beautiful

Best bakery in Northern Ireland

Loads of pastries , tea, coffee, sauces and jams.

Ordered cupcakes for a friend's hen party, following a recommendation. Delivered in perfect condition straight to our hotel. They looked fabulous and they were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!

High quality stuff. From cakes to coffee

Visited the place for breakfast with my teenage son. We were shown to our table instantly and orders taken quickly. The food was above average for a traditional Belfast breakfast. Special mention to Abigail for her excellent service.

Fantástico servicio al cliente y deliciosos pasteles! Pedimos cupcakes de género revelado, añadir a nuestra orden de última hora no era ideal, pero French Village fueron capaces de acomodar. Los pasteles se veían y sabían fantástico, volveremos al 100% 🩷💙

French Village provided our wedding cake a few weeks back. We couldn't fault it at all, the flavours were delicious (red velvet & carrot cake) and the cake looked exactly like the inspo pic we provided. It was perfectly sized for our number of guests and a little left over for relatives that couldn't attend. Thank you x

Called last minute was able to order a birthday cake with 2days notice no problem cake was collected on Sat an a very delicious cake thank you so much it was beautifully made

Great place friendly staff, my wife ordered cupcakes so I was just picking them up but I thought I would try their coffee and it didn't disappoint it was very good coffee, I set in the car park arguing with myself will I get a fry will I not I decided not only reason was because I want to bring my wife after all she did buy the cupcakes and found this hidden gem oh also she said I could have one 🧁 Would diffently recommend this place it's a bit off main road but Google takes you straight to it and its well worth it.

The staff working today were so nice at the Montgomery road store and the service was amazing

The cake we received for the price was pathetic.

Thought I had paid for a birthday cake order online but realised I hadn't - quickly rang the store to ask if they could do a cake next day for me. They said they would double check, took my name and number, and exactly what I wanted and promptly rang me back to accept the order once the bakers were happy. They were so kind & understanding and it was so appreciated!

Great products and even better customer service, many thanks to Sian

Really nice items and great customer service. Ordered a variety of items and they were really great quality. Will use this company again.

French Village Bakery provided a beautiful cake for my sister's wedding. There was a slight mix up in labels but they soon resolved the issue and helped us decorate the cake to make things easier for us. The cake was devine, wish I'd bought one just for me! Absolutely gorgeous and would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Sent hubby to pick up a flat top white loaf in your Montgomery Road branch. Really annoyed as was picked up today 18 April 2023 and best before date is 19 April 2023. Totally unsuitable for sandwiches as the white bread inside the corners, inside the crust are hard and discoloured and totally unsuitable to put out stale bread for sandwiches. That's £2.95 down the drain. Really really annoyed as buying direct from a bakery you would expect the bread to be fresh, and especially from French Village. Just passing of old stale bread at full price is never acceptable. Sorry could not recommend yourselves when customers are treated like this.

I ordered my son's first birthday cake from French Village and it was absolutely amazing. Looked and tasted amazing. Thank you!

Was ordering cupcake gift for a friend living in Belfast. I had to phone the bakery to help with my order since online has a payment limit. Shannon who I spoke with with was absolutely superb and helped place my order for delivery to my friend. I live in Dublin, so could not arrange collection of the cupcake gift. Really appreciate all the time she spent on the phone to me and advising with the order. Customer service was excellent. Thank you Shannon!

I ordered a cake on 7th February 2023 for the birthday of a relative who does body building . The cake was plain sponge and jam , fully iced . The result was very innovative and amazing , decorated with edible dumbbells , weights , gym mat etc . I was delighted with the decoration - and the cake was delicious This bakery fully deserves 5 stars

Delicious treats every time from this wonderful bakery! Perfect for any occasion, birthdays, valentines, pancake Tuesday, Easter, Christmas, they have everything and more to treat yourself or a loved one 🥰

Ordered a cake for my son's 18th. Looked and tasted amazing. Ordering and collection couldn't have been easier! 😊

Live overseas & wanted to surprise our son, who lives in Belfast, with a Red Velvet cake for his 21st. Laura & Jennifer were brilliant & the cake was not only fantastic to look at but apparently absolutely delicious. Would recommend and will definitely use French Village Bakery again! Thank you!

Got a 50th Birthday cake made from French Village. The cake looked fantastic and tasted delicious. Everybody commented on how lovely it looked & tasted. Would highly recommend

Top class 10-inch cake baked and prepared to specification wonderfully. A pleasure to work with the bakers at French Village ... true partners with the customer. Crowd of twelve munched the cake over two days. 🎂👍👍👍🤝🤝

Nice quaint place to grab fresh baps and hot coffee

Normally would recommend French Village bakery as over last 4/5 Years I’ve bought at least three cakes per year for birthdays to anniversaries. This morning Wed 21st Sept 22 I went on their website as usual, placed and paid for a cake( daughters engagement) only to get a call from a very polite lady at 1520 hrs to say that due to a computer glitch with their website, they were over booked and would be unable to fill the order. I found this strange but I did leave it late to order. If indeed they had a soft ware problem then all effort should be made to accommodate a customer. I don’t think I’ll be using French Village Bakery in the future, poor effort all round.

My partner 31st birthday. Amazing!!! Recommendation with both hands 🙌

Absolutely Zero Star for this service. I have ordered one Birthday Cake for my boyfriend to pickup. Before he goes to pickup the cake, he have called the store and asked , could he come. The girl in the telephone said that, he can come annytime, the cake is already. But when he come, she don’t give the cake, and said the Time for picking up 3:00 pm . What ist for a terrible service. No more again!!

Ordered a chocolate celebration cake (the large little green one) and it was great. The cake was the perfect size (10 inch I think) and went down a treat. Will definitely be ordering again!

I ordered a cake for a 90th birthday and it was really excellent. Everyone at the party remarked how delicious and moist it was and of course it looked great too. I would definitely order again.

Partner had a cake made for my birthday - banana salted caramel. Not a great experience - banana flavour was very fake / synthetic tasting. The icing was so sickly sweet. The sponge itself was very dry.

Excellent bread and pastries! Click & collect service works well for me - no minimum order.

Birthday cake Thank you for 60 th Birthday cake which we received today. It was exceptionally delicious. We especially wanted afresh cream cake and this not only looked great but tasted. Enemy better.

Nice selection of buns and bakery items. Always something interesting to try.

My daughter's birthday cake for her 3rd birthday was absolutely stunning and tasted delicious. It was made to exact requirements and nothing was too much trouble for the team. Wonderful experience and will be ordering more again in the future.

I ordered a celebration cake the one that costs £50 and is supposed to serve a lot of people ! The cake was small and I think would serve maybe 15 people at the very most. Cake wasnt great either....heavy and a bit dry.All in all v disappointing and poor value for money. I should have just baked one myself. I wont be ordering another one.

It's our bakery supplier for our Osteria/Café. Great product from loaf to soda. Yummy scones.

It's such a love cake for my daughter 5th birthday. I always love to get from French village. This number of 5th cake that I already get from my ex-boss (ASHLEY). He is a really lovely boss and will be the best always.

I am really disappointed with my order. I ordered freshly baked sourdough bread and a lemon drizzle cake. There was a time slot to pick from so I was expecting freshly baked bread and so disappointed to find out that the bread was packed in a plastic bag and tasted like it was baked at least a day before. We saw macaroons in the store and got them from along with other things. The macaroons tasted not fresh and really terrible, landed in the bin. We always loved the cakes from French Village Bakery, so disappointed to have this experience with this store.

Delicious treats and bakery. Great store of ingredients and staples. Excellent cakes.

Baker Street for Saturday night treat tea, yummy

Fantastic produce always so fresh. Choc salted brownie is the best I've tasted five stars

My daughter sent me a box of bread etc last week,she lives in Wales and I'm in belfast.in the box was a .l oafwas very dissatisfied with the items I have mentioned.i was over the moon with my gift,I put it on Facebook.2 Belfast baps,a wheaten, loaf,lemon cake,2 packs of pancakes and 5 sausage rolls.i was really disappointed with the sausage.rolls just not nice pancakes were sstuck together.i have never had anything from your bakery before,and my gift was very disappointed. To me.thebap was soft.!!

Thank you, French Village! I was so looking forward to my order being delivered yesterday and want to let you know just how pleased I am! Excellent service, everything according to plan! Am loving my products (wow, the size of those loaves!) and feel reassured in the middle of all this madness, that some things still function very well. Thank you! I’ll be back! P Abbott

If I could give 10 stars I would. Absolutely gorgeous! Many thanks guys. X

Pedí un pastel a medida para el bautizo de mi hija. No soy un gran admirador del rosa para las niñas, así que investigué y dibujé mi diseño de pastel de antemano con algunas fotos de ejemplo. Fue realmente fácil de ordenar y Jennifer fue muy útil para responder todas mis preguntas. El pastel era absolutamente hermoso, un verdadero tapón de espectáculo. French Village convirtió mi bosquejo rápido en un pastel increíble que todos felicitaron. ¡No solo era bonito para las fotos! A menudo con un pastel elegante, el pastel real es bastante seco y decepcionante, pero el pastel de frambuesa y chocolate blanco de French Village era fresco y delicioso incluso hasta una semana después. No podría estar más encantado con el pastel y el servicio. ¡Definitivamente usaré French Village nuevamente para todos los pasteles futuros!

Eating at French Village Bakery can be a mixed bag. I'm giving four stars as it's usually better than not, but removing one for a wonky breakfast. Evening food is well considered - good salads and Bang Bang Chicken is a favourite. Staff are uniformly pleasant and engaging. However, breakfast can be hit and miss. My £7 Avocado on Toast was a weird combination of very cold pre-prepared avocado mush (more like guacamole than avocado toast) with undercooked poached eggs (the whites were sloppy). For £7, I think it's not crazy to expect buttered toast with freshly sliced/crushed avocado, a staple elsewhere. Lesson learned, will pick a fry-up next time. Even good places need feedback to develop tastier outcomes!

From the first moment I contacted the bakery by email until the cake was collected the service was exceptional. I had ordered a triple layer Victoria sandwich drip cake for my mums 60th birthday. The cake tasted delicious and the decoration was exceptional ! Will be using again in furrier for sure. Thank you 😊.

I can’t thank French Village enough for all of their help as relates to my partners mothers birthday cake. They were so helpful and super patient through all of my never-ending questions and I was delighted that we were able to order our cake with them and have it on time. It was a pleasure to collect it and see it for the first time and it went down such a treat when we brought it out on the birthday night.

We had french village do the catering for our wedding and cannot reccomend them enough. Zsolt was extremely easy to work with - he was very organised and clear in emails which is invaluable when you are organising a wedding. We had sharing style food at the wedding - small plates to start and then rib on the bone which was carved at the tables for the mains. The food was amazing and several people said it was the best food they had had at a wedding. I won't reveal the details but they also suggested a surprise for when the food was served which provided lots of entertainment and really added to the relaxed feel of the meal. They also had black plates at no extra cost, which made all my pinterest dreams come true.

Excellent from start to finish. French Village catered for our wedding in Finnebrogue Woods during a storm! Guests commented that the food was better than you'd get in a fancy restaurant. The service was so professional and Zsolt and his team couldn't be faulted. We had "Pea Veloute and Ham Hock Beignet with Mint Oil" for starters, "Slow cooked irish beef with caramelised onion potato, braised carrot and tenderstem broccoli" for the main course. For the evening reception, French Village prepared bowl food from recipes which we provided. They catered to all guests with allergies and intolerances. I highly recommend.

Fantastic service and quality. Recently used for a wedding of 170 guests at a remote location. Front of house was very professional and kept everything running smoothly and on time. Two course lunch for 60 guests was absolutely delicious with many guests commenting on how good the beef was. Also provided a bowl food canopy-like service during the evening for all guests, which worked amazingly well. They even used recipes that we provided (as it was food that meant something to us), and did an unbelievable job. Would highly recommend.

Got a cake for my son's first birthday, looked perfect and tasted AMAZING. Will definitely use again ☺️

French Village provided the catering for our recent Conference at W5, Odyssey - both the food and service were outstanding.

Visited Belfast as a group for my husband's 50th. Pre ordered a southern comfort bottle cake for delivery to hotel. Delivered with no problem. Excellent communication and gorgeous tasting cake. Better and bigger than expected. Only wish we lived near by so could use again.

Just had the most incredible culinary experience with French village catering for my wedding last Friday. Can not recommend them enough, Zsolt- the event coordinator was superb from start to finish and could not have done enough for us, he just took professionalism and hospitality up a notch and he needs recognition for his attention to detail- thank you Zsolt! I also want to thank the two chefs that put our menu together, Sean and Jamie , you really listened to what we wanted and knocked it out of the park! it was delicious! thanks! We will be recommending you anyone we know getting married or having an event.

My daughter got her wedding cake from French Village. It looked and tasted amazing. Staff polite and extremely helpful. Highly recommended. Flower supplied separately.

My daughter got her wedding cake here. Looked fantastic and tasted amazing. Staff more than polite and helpful, a pleasure to deal with. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Great service, from ordering to delivery. Ordered a cake to serve around 50 people. The attention to detail when ordering the cake paid off with a cake made to order – including a figure 4” plus icing figure produced from a photo. Swift and easy payment. Final quality check performed when collecting the finished cake. Declivous cake, would recommend and certainly purchase again.

Had a great meal recently at a wedding in Larchfield. I come with several dietary requirements and usually struggle to get a nice dinner at bigger events, but was delighted when my friend (the bride) came back to me to say French Village had offered a couple of options that would be suitable for me. Thank you for making that so hassle-free for me :)

I have just had a vegetarian meal at a wedding and it was the worst meal I have ever had at a wedding, it was so hot I could only take a few mouthful. Please be careful when you flavour things

My family bought me a delicious cake from French Village Bakery for my birthday it's absolutely scrumptious , just started eating last night, can't see it lasting beyond 24hrs! Definitely buy from this bakery, you will be well pleased.

Based on all positive reviwes French cake village has I decided to try them and order a cake for my niece birthday, after filling the cake request online application form, they emailed back asking for the cake picture I emailed the cake picture. Next day on Tuesday morning I have received a quote of £125 for the cake, I rang the giving number in the email ‭(028 9029 7999‬) to confirm my order and pay. I had to ring twice before an operator answers the phone, I said I would like to pay for my cake order, she said she can’t take the payment as she only covering for the responsible operator and she said they will ring me back within 20-30 mins, I said okay, 4 and a half hours later and still nobody rang me I rang at about 04:30 pm, again I had to ring twice before someone answered my call and asked to pay she said she can’t take the payment as they close at 4:00 and said ring tomorrow at that stage I got frustrated and said thanks I won’t ring again it’s my first time trying French village and it’s the last. She apologised and said they will ring in the morning but it’s to late now, they rang me this morning I couldn’t answer the phone, they sent me an email asking to ring back I replied to that email saying thanks I won’t order from French village again and thanks for the bad customer service, her reply was basically it’s my fault I rang the giving number which’s for wholesale not for cake enquires then why do you have this number on your email and website as the enquires number for cakes?

last minute choice turned out to be the best choice. Super friendly service, good menu with great value meals.

We recently ordered a birthday cake for my mum's 80th Birthday. Not only was the cake absolutely beautiful it was the nicest cake we have ever tasted. Everything about it was perfect. I had found the process of ordering the cake easy. And it was great I could phone and talk to the staff also about what we thought we wanted and could email them a photo which was replicated to perfection. Picking the cake up was easy too. The bakery is well signposted from Montgomery road. I can't wait untill our next celebration for us to order another cake!!

Had my heart set on a donut wedding cake and French Village were able to provide this. Assorted flavours, beautifully presented, really had a wow-factor for ourselves and guests (tasted good too!) Communication was seamless and Jennifer + team were most helpful.

French Village provided the catering for our wedding a few weeks ago and we had a wonderful experience with them, and their food is just amazing. From the beginning, the wonderful Aoife and her team helped us along the way and provided a 5* service, and they were great craic too! Thank you to all at French Village and especially to Aoife for nailing the food on our wedding day. N and O xx

We all have our instagram dream when it comes to planning a wedding and Jennifer @frenchvillage helped make my dream a reality with a four tier, semi naked wedding cake made of tiers of vanilla and raspberry, chocolate, lemon and carrot cake. Each tier was delicious, more moist than any cake I’ve ever had and despite having been on display during the reception, retained its moisture and tasted delicious. My wedding guests couldn’t get enough and we are so incredible grateful. Thank you Jennifer and team

I had poached eggs, and my wife had the eggs benedict but by the time they reached the table they were slightly cold and the yolks were starting to set. They did taste delicious though and the small touches like the miniature teapot and milk...

Delighted with the cake I ordered for my daughters 3rd birthday - it looked fabulous and was so tasty!

What a fantastic cake, beautifully baked and perfectly decorated, a fitting end to a fantastic night of celebration. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this cake. Thank you to Jennifer and her team for the cake and the customer service that is second to none!

We ordered a massive cake for a group event, the cake was absolutely delicious, vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream. The decoration was fabulous, and the reaction from our guests was overwhelming. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the cake and it was a fitting end to a fantastic celebratory night. Thank you to Jennifer and her team. From all at 12th Bangor Boys’ Brigade.

I had a cake made for my daughters engagement and the cake was a million times better than i thought. It looked amazing! and tasted like heaven! Thank you for the cake. Everyone loved it!!! I will be back for birthday cakes and more!

I recently bought a cake for my mum's 70th birthday from French village bakery. The cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing. Exactly what we wanted, everyone loved it. Thank you!!

needed a private room with that cake it was unreal.x

Village Bakery is amazing - they deliver a brilliant thank you for me every year to one of our service providers in Belfast and the delivery is always received with big smiles

Village Bakery deliver a thank you for me to a service provider in Belfast and the delivery is always accepted with big smiles. I am told the sausage rolls are a particular favourite. It is the only company that I have found that delivers savoury...

Bought a carrot cake for my partner's birthday that was probably the best carrot cake we've had. Ordered online and found the site very user friendly. The cake was delivered to the home at a perfect time by a delightful driver. Very impressed with FVB. Will definitely be using them for all my cake and bun needs in the future.

Absolutely love this place, great staff and great cakes

We ordered a Donut Wall for our wedding in November 2017. It was a massive hit with all of our guests. I highly recommend French Village. Great food and excellent service. A++++++++

I asked French Village for a cake which they had never made before topped with macarons and donuts. It did not disappoint and was extremely popular with our guests at my wife's 30th party. The cake itself was excellent quality and tasted amazing. We will definitely be returning for future birthdays and anniversaries!

Ordered a landmark birthday cake for 35 people on Monday and collected Saturday morning for my wife's birthday. It looked great and tasted great.....chocolate with chocolate cream. We loved it!

When you order a cake with 'buttercream' please be aware that it is in fact margarine cream. As someone who doesn't like or use margarine as I sliced the cake I could smell it. I complained to the bakery as they should disclose this and...

I ordered a birthday cake last month in a very short notice. I asked for a cupcakes bouquet with a mix of different flavours. I was not disappointed and got a perfect amazing looking and tasty cake on time. I will always order my cakes...

Terrible place service slow scones like dough everyone staff need better training and how to smile take some happy tablets.

For a mid-sized family reunion before new year's, we ordered a cake from this bakery which came highly recommended. Staff were very helpful with their recommendations. Cake was delivered to or hotel/restaurant without charge. It was a great hit and loved by everyone.

Ordered and paid for a cake over the phone, picked it up on a specified day; on time with no delay and the cake was amazing.

Terrible Staff, grumpy, rude, coupled with terrible ordering system for take away, and now charging 30p for debt card payment under £10

Ordered the lemon gateau for a birthday party and everyone said it was delicious. I found the staff were exceptionally friendly too. They also have a useful website so very satisfied all round and will use again.

Great food but service can be slow

Very slow service. Average food. I hate their scones.

Everything, they were able to do my christening cake a week before as I had rang more than thirty cake shops and they were busy. Gorgeous shop and lovely girl who spoke to me. Her name was Becky.

Can't speak highly enough about these guys. I phoned them on the day of my sons burthday and they delivered to him by lunch time the same day. Beautiful cakes, presentation was first class and I'm told { very jealous as I'm not with him } the cakes taste amazing. Really helpul staff, thank you all so much, you certainly helped to make his day
