Vie De France Bakery Cafe - Potomac

I've been coming here for years, but something changed over the years that I can't really understand what. Bakery and sweets are less tasty and unreasonably expensive, the place itself not as appealing as it ised to be. Possibly, there are new owners, possibly something else, which means things might torn to better eventually. The place is worth checking once in a while. My main concern is high prices. I would normally pay as much as they ask for for mich higher quality and some extra experience, but currently the prices are unjustifyably too high, by at least 20%.

Tasteless pastries and sandwiches you could get from the grocery store. The beignets are NOT beignets but are soggy tasteless pieces of bread rolled in sugar. Service is lacking and Tgist needs customer service training. Don’t patron this chain.

It's more Italian than French and the doughnuts were wet.....

I hadn 't been to a Vie de France in many years and used to only get pastries at this one but regularly had lunch at others.Here, I got two sandwiches (chicken salad on a croissant and a roast beef/cheese on a roll.The chicken salad not only was tasteless but also soggy, while the roast beef was completely dry, with nothing resembling cheese and the bread was far more than a day old.The pastries I bought were fine, but I would avoid this location for anything resembling sandwiches.The included bags of chips were fine but one was (slightly) past the 'sell by ' date.

The perfect neighborhood deli with gracious and friendly staff. I was surprised to find good crispy jelapis during Ramadan. Excellent service all around.
