French onion soup, fresh sandwich, and apricot pastry were 😋😋😋. This place is a favorite for sure! I'm always amazed at the prices on these outstanding pastries. They're sooo good!
This charming pâtisserie offers a delightful selection of freshly made pastries and boulangerie favorites. Every croissant, éclair, and tarte feels crafted with care, and the breads are equally fresh and flavorful. It’s clear that the team truly cares about quality. The service is warm and attentive, with staff who greet you with a smile and genuine friendliness. The only minor inconvenience is that parking outside can be limited, but the experience inside more than makes up for it. Truly, a little slice of Paris in the neighborhood!
Very cute coffee shop and bakery (with WiFi). The pastries were artisan and beautiful. No breakfast sandwiches or traditional meals, but the pastries were great. They do have quiche. Lots of teas and coffees with milk substitutes. Reasonable pricing.I walked, it doesn’t look like there is much street parking.
I had 1x croissant and 1x almond croissant. Both were delicious. I would recommend the almond out of those two. People from my party got an apricot croissant and ham & cheese croissant, as well as bacon, onion, cheese on focaccia bread (not sure what they called it). Everything was great. Prices very reasonable. For my two croissants it was just under $7.
What a cool spot! My family loved the pastries we tried from the super flakey chocolate croissant to the amazing texture of the guarmandise and the cheesecake like texture of the cherry dessert my husband got. Plus the man working at the front was so so kind answering our questions about what each item was since they are sophisticated in their names and even gave us recommendations on other spots to check out around town. I want to go back and try their drinks and other goodies.

A taste of Paris in Pittsburgh, where every pastry is crafted with passion and quality.
