The French Market in Colts Neck

STYLE

Rustic yet chic, this small café welcomes customers for both breakfast and lunch. Beautifully displayed French pastries, quiches and fresh baguettes are temptingly displayed on the counter along with artisanal hand-crafted gifts shelved below. A sunny outdoor courtyard is available in the warmer months. 

THE SCOOP

The original Rumson location opened in summer of 2015 and successfully expanded to Colts Neck in fall of 2021. 

THE MENU

Start your day with a cup of coffee and a flaky croissant, or opt for the Parisian ham, egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. Toast with sweet butter, powdered sugar and maple syrup is another morning treat, as are any of the warm, cloud-like crepes. Lunches include classic French sandwiches served on fresh baguettes. The specialty Croque Madame—Parisian ham, Swiss, Bechamel sauce and a sunny-side-up egg—is a favorite. The French Market salad is another tasty pick, with ratatouille, crumbled goat cheese and a house vinaigrette. The La Fromage cheese plate served with fresh fruit and a crusty baguette is perfectly shareable. Don’t leave without beignets or macarons!
