Bonjour Colorado Springs! At The French Kitchen, we love to be different, and creative. We also love to help you with gift ideas, as, let’s face it, sometimes it’s hard to find the perfect gift!

After a few months of research, we are finally able to launch Personalized Croissants. You know how you can put your favorite dog photo on a mug, a t-shirt, or a cake? Well, why not on a croissant?

It’s actually super simple… when you have the machine for it! We don’t… but we found a solution.

1. Simply upload the photo of your choice on our website.
2. Adjust it on the Croissant as needed.
3. Click order.
4. Our Pastry Chef will hand paint your croissant with edible colors.
5. We just need a minimum of 24 hours before we can deliver a super cute, flaky, buttery and most importantly personalized Croissant to you.

It is definitely a gift your loved ones will appreciate, while at the same time, making you a super star for finding such a delicious idea!

Now, when we develop new ideas, we always keep in mind our Cooking Classes Addicts. What if you wanted to make your own personalized croissants? No problem!

Here’s the new class we are launching:

• Chef Nate will teach a very special Croissant Class called “Personalized Croissants”
• No machine used in this class, everything will be done by hand.
• First learn how to make croissants from scratch.
• Then, we will start serving wine or mimosas, depending on the time of the class.
• Before the Croissants go into the proofer, everyone will use paint brushes and special edible paints to reproduce their favorite photo on their croissant.
• Don’t worry, Chef Nate is a born artist, in addition to being an amazing Pastry Chef. He will guide you with your artistic touches.
• The best part is watching the photo develop, as the croissants proof.
• We all have different photo choices, so you will even have the option to choose a matte or glossy result, based on the egg-washing process you will pick.

Wait no longer, book your next experience by clicking here and go home with a true work of art, as well as several other croissants.

The French Kitchen is always here for you, delivering Experiences that will create memories and that will last a lifetime.

We can’t wait to personalizing thousands of Croissants and seeing smiles and happy faces.

Bonjour Colorado Springs! When the energy crisis hit Europe in 2022, we, at The French Kitchen, were already starting to find ways to save on energy. We will soon be launching our “YOUR energy is OUR energy” project that will not only allow us to save on energy, but will allow you to get discounted purchases. Let us explain in a few words:

MOVING WALKWAY

• A moving walkway from the front entrance to the cash register will generate lights in the frozen market and all displays as you walk on it. Advantage to you? The faster you walk, the more energy you create, the bigger the discount on your purchase! Advantage to us: reducing our energy bills up to 20%.
• Want to shop? Just hop out and get back on.
• Safety? We’ve thought of everything. 1 side bar along the walkway to be able to grasp, in case you need it.
• What if the walkway starts to act weird? Several red emergency stop buttons will be found along the treadmill.
• Are several people allowed on the walkway? Yes. The more in sync you will be, the more energy you’ll create, the higher your discount.
• When will this new system be in place? We are hoping to launch on May 7th.

STATIONARY BIKE

• A stationary bike will be available at all time as well, just by the cash registers.
• Pedal and build up your discount… and muscles!
• With an average usage of 5 hours a day of bike usage, we will be able to save up to 40% on our energy bills!
• The bike is also available to our employees, who will save points on a perks card.

QUESTIONS?

• Will your prices increase to create these new infrastructure? Absolutely not. Within a year, the cost will be covered thanks to all of our clients’ newly created energy.
• What if I don’t want to use the walkway or the bike? Not a problem, you just won’t qualify for the energy discount.
• Do I need a fitness outfit? Not at all but you definitely can if you’re going for a 2 hour ride!
• Will the teaching kitchen be equipped with similar features? We are definitely considering that at each working station you will either find a mini treadmill or a bike to use as you cook. We’ve been doing some testing and hope to launch a new system in 2025.

We hope you like our ongoing creativity and can’t wait to save energy with your collaboration! In the meantime, shop here: www.tfkcc.com. We will see you soon!

Book a private Naked Chef Party
and enjoy some intimate culinary instruction,
some cheeky humor, and a whole lot of good, clean fun!

In France, you can rent a Private Chef to come to your house… with just an apron… and entertain you while cooking! What a service! That was something I have always wanted to offer… for Bachelorette Parties, for example, but for many other events too!

It’s your lucky day, VIPs, because we recently found two Chefs in Denver that are willing to come to Colorado Springs for Private Events. But this exclusive service is reserved for VIPs and their guests only!

So how does it work?

• Parties must be reserved a minimum of 2 weeks in advance
• Participants must be 18 or older to participate (IDs will be checked)
• Privacy curtains will be drawn in the Teaching Kitchen during parties
• Wine is available for purchase with valid ID
• Choose between 3 sexy menus:

Ready to get cooking?

Sorry, you can’t. We only have our 5 very talented, but fully-clothed Chef Instructors.
Did we get you a little hot under the collar? April Fools! B got you… again!

Better luck next year!

Coming soon to a location near you!

What’s Inside?
We wanted to be sure our vending machines featured our best-sellers, whether from our bakery, frozen market, or cooking classes. That’s why we’ve included 3 separate sections in each vending machine!

• Section 1: An assortment of our best-selling pastries, frozen items, sandwiches, hot savories, and desserts.
• Section 2: Our #1 Pastry – Queenets (of course), with a self-serve filling bar, similar to self-serve soft ice cream, with 3 different fillings updated seasonally.
• Section 3: Cooking Class Kits featuring our most popular classes including recipes, video tutorial, and a 2-hour Zoom session with the Chef Instructor.

Where Can I Find One?
We are starting with 10 locations with plans to expand to 50 locations within 6 months including:

• Colorado Springs and Denver Airports
• 2 local Hospitals
• University of Colorado Springs
• University Village
• Northgate Plaza
• Ivywild
• Pikes Peak Summit
• Downtown (exact location still not confirmed).

We love coming up with new, creative, and fun ideas so we hope this exciting new project will please many! We can’t wait to expand outside of Colorado Springs, as we are looking forward to serving those outside of our 20 mile delivery range.

The French Kitchen experience, outdoor, in the heart of Colorado Springs.

We are so excited about this new project we’ve been working on for the past few months. We hope you will be too.

We are finalizing the last details but should be able to open our roof top patio this week.

– Stairs are located in the suite to the left of our current entrance where you will find sofas and coffee tables for even more extra seating indoor. (sorry, no elevator available)
– Amazing view on Pikes Peak.
– Finally see the last 3 pieces of the Eiffel Tower that we were able to set on the roof (yes, our Eiffel Tower is 21 feet tall). And it will light at night.
– Shade provided with umbrellas and trees.
– Cute herb garden that our baker Sebastien Mullebrouck will maintain daily, just like his levain.
