Nice neighborhood french pastry shop. croissants are decent. Canele needs improvement and upsizing. Paris Brest is good but not traditional. Breads are great.

Ambience is great and you feel France in the bakery goods! Cute Boston Terrier logo. But they have amazing food that is very light and not salty and fluffy and has wonderful buttery flavors. The ambience is very cute and they allow dogs that are not just service dogs. The community and area is beautiful and the neighborhood is friendly and the homes in this area of South Boston are so amazing with their old historical charm.

While not a lot of options for lunch....what we bought was very good. Turkey sandwich was delicious as was the chicken curry on cabata. The coffee and baked goods looked great - almost too good to eat.

Went to the Medford (original?) location first since people said there was better. Happy to report that while the selection is smaller here, the quality is just as good. More convenient location so happy to have confirmed this. Stand outs are the chocolate croissant (pain Au chocolat, what they call the cho-Colette, NOT the pain Au Swiss which I didn’t like when I tried it from Medford), and the chocolate eclair. For the croissant, pop it in an air fryer for like 30s at 400F to reheat. Seems unnecessary, but trust me on this one. The result is incredible. I forgot to take pictures, but watch it so it doesn’t burn. lol. The chocolate eclair has really tasty filling, maybe has a dash of espresso powder or something and maybe hazelnut? It wasn’t overly sugary or heavy creamy. Ate it too quickly and the picture of the half eaten one was too ugly to post. The other things I wouldn’t go out of my way for. Notes below: Strawberry fraisier: meh. Cake layer is too sweet. Mousse layer is a bit heavy, and overall balance is a bit off. Friend said it reminded her of ice cream. It’s really small, so beware if it’s for sharing. Took a picture of it next to a box of Kleenex for scale. Macarons: varied in size? Texture was good, taste was okay ish. Chocolate was the best of the three. Lemon- quite lemony. Chocolate- a bit light and nutty. Matcha- light matcha taste, sweeter than the others. Also included a pic of the inside, some shells were slightly hollow.

Has the potential to be one of the best bakeries in Boston, but fell short today. I’m still looking for the best almond croissant in Boston. Colette’s was next on my list. A very French name, so I had high hopes. The almond croissant was beautiful, and perfectly caramelised on the bottom giving it a great crunch and flavour. This is quite rare to find, so props to them. However the almond frangipane inside the croissant was a big let down. It was so bland. I was expecting a rich decadent paste, and theirs really missed the mark. On a side note, maybe people here seemed to enjoy the « Fraisier » cake so I think it’s probably a safer bet to try that instead. Might give them another chance soon, but will try another pastry instead.
