A single small chicken salad sandwich came to $12. No sides, no drink, just a sandwich, wrapped in wax paper, stuffed into a small brown sack. There is nothing to excuse the outrageous prices. This is not fine dining, but he seems to think it is with the prices. They would probably be very busy if they lowered their prices....

If you like REAL french bread made by a third generation artisan you will enjoy the French Bakery and Deli! It's a little pricey, but everything is made fresh, including the to-die-for fig and apple turnovers (using local figs, literally from a tree a few blocks away!). Not elegant, very simple place, but wonderful food!

Lot's of people say this place is overpriced. I say you get what you pay for. The pastrami sandwich is, hands down the BEST sandwich I have ever put in my mouth. And guess what? I don't really like sandwiches! I'm much more of a salad girl.

Sure, the owner is a character. I dare say he'd play better to a Northern audience, Brooklyn say, or Jersey. But life's a lot more interesting with a few characters in it.

I say go. Go eat the sandwich. Be brave.

Chances are your niggardly ways will completely distract you from the pure edible ecstasy. For anyone else: just try it. Words cannot describe what it is you're in for.

The large, mustachioed man behind the counter was curt and unhelpful. We asked about their yule logs, and were shown a lop-sided cake and told a 1/3 of it would run us nearly $40. (We reflected on it, and later called to cancel the...

A disappointment - won't be back soon – I found very little ?French? about this bakery. It reminded me more of a dirty ristorante in the touristy parts of Rome. Thinking we might find a buche de Noel (yule log), and perhaps some nice pastries for our 4 o'clock, we headed down to this underwhelming establishment in an unlikely neighborhood, where the owner feels the need for iron bars on the windows.

Longtime Norfolk shop serves up high-end European pastries and deli sandwiches in a casual atmosphere. – In ShortBuried within historic Riverview, this family owned bakery has amassed an eclectic clientele over its decades of operation. Customers don't come for ambience--considering the small, dusty interior with worn burgundy seated stools assembled around worn wooden tables--they come for the hard-to-find Grade A pastrami sandwiches and the popular roast pork sandwiches. For dessert, the made-from-scratch almond elephant ears or custard filled chocolate eclairs can be perfectly paired...

This is one of the best places in town to get a sandwich - if you can afford it. Sandwiches are big, but pricey; loyal customers swear that they are some of the best in Norfolk. Customers can also purchase excellent bread, pastries and cakes from the bakery. It is not necessarily authentic French baking but it is a good American substitute. Call for opening hours.
