This place had a nice selection of goodies and wine. There was a lot to look at. I wished the atmosphere was decorated with more french decor and had a few comfier tables. But the food was pretty good! I like how alot of the croissants come with the option of getting them mini size. I had a mini ham and cheese croissant and a mini chocolate almond croissant. The chocolate was high quality, but the pastry was a bit hard. Maybe it would have been better if it was also heated up. The person working the counter was friendly and helpful.
Had the chocolate Napoleon, which has layers of hazelnut sponge cake, crunchy praliné with chocolate cream, and chocolate chantilly. I got it delivered, so I can't comment on the ambiance of the location. Nonetheless, the cake was dense and rich, though it could have had a thicker cake layer in relation to the other ingredients.
The service was excellent. The girls did everything to please me. Unfortunately the Croque Monsieur is cold and then heated up in a microwave. It was initially served whole and it was cold in the middle of the sandwich. Once heated again, it was returned cut in half and still a bit cold in the middle. The edges became hot and hard. The béchamel in the sandwich was overly seasoned with nutmeg. The almond croissant was cold (maybe out of the refrigerator) therefore the pastry was gummy and not flaky. Nothing was fresh, which was very disappointing. My expectations were higher for a French bakery. I ordered a multigrain baguette to take home (I will find out soon the outcome). I won't come back to this one.
"We got a winner" This place has it all: Wine, baked treats, sandwiches for lunch, chocolate confections for gifting or indulging in some self love, assorted coffees made fresh to order and those perfectly crafted macaroons. This is the kind of place you want to take your time to explore the world of options that they have available, but also lens itself to zipping in for a quick bite during a lunch break. The staff is courteous and bilingual, which was a pleasant and welcome surprise, and was greeted as soon as I walked in. There are comfortable seating areas and a plus is that no matter where you choose to rest, there is no blank boring wall to look at. The layout of the store and sure that no matter where you look, there is plenty to keep you engaged and entertained. Tip: I eyed a Saint Honore treat when I first walked in and made sure I paid for it and had it boxed ahead of time to ensure it would be there when I left. These delicious desserts are made to order so ensure that their popularity doesn't mean you are left without Maybe the delectable Parisian treats are the friends we made along the way.
Food is good but far too expensive. I ordered 2 mini quiches and 2 pastries with a cappuccino to for $31, plus the request for tip on the tablet. I try to tip generously wherever I go. But if I'm picking up myself, the tip should be totally my option. The service was also not so good, I stayed waiting for a while until someone came to offer me help. The place looked clean and pleasant for a dining-in experience.
1 of the best croissants I've had, almond croissants. Great size for the price and they're fresh and can be warmed up. They have a variety of breads and croissants, along with other options in their bakery. They do have breakfast options but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. I'm only rating their croissants, which I purchased the Nutella, Almond and regular croissant. All 3 go well with some coffee. In addition they do have some gelato options and the passionfruit was delicious, took a pint to go. It's a small place so not a ton of seating but a great place to have some morning coffee and pastry.
Everything is so incredibly delicious from this place. I've been a few times and it never disappoints. The almond croissants are divine. Their so moist, on the inside its a soft almond dough with the outside being crunchy and covered in powdered sugar. The quiche is the best you will ever try. The macarons are a reminder of my visit to France. Very impressed with the quality of everything I've tasted.
This place is so delish for both sweet and salty treats! I got a warm spinach and broccoli quiche that was very light and delish. My favorite thing ever though is the almond croissants! They have a huge selection but the almond will always be my favorite. They have a nice area to sit down and enjoy your food and drinks and the service is very quick!
This spot has a wide selection of wine, which I was not expecting until I walked in. The physical location inside is a bit overwhelming, in terms of spacing, and how many products of wine and other items collected around the store. They do not have a full kitchen to make breakfast. They only have the pastries and sandwiches in the glass displays upon walking in. They have options for your coffee preferences! *Regular milk / *Oatmilk / *Almond milk And they have honey and other sugar alternatives that the customer can add themself once the coffee is given to you. Ordered (they warm it up in their oven): *Ham and Cheese croissant, 5 stars - great flavor and texture *Veggie croissant (eggplant), 4 stars - great flavor, the egg plant was still cold in the middle, it should have been left a bit longer in the oven and on a lower temp. (avoid over baking/burning). *Small cappuccino with Oatmilk, 3 stars - the oatmilk did not taste to be of the highest quality.

It's been a while since our last visit to Atelier Monnier - Pinecrest, and we decided to stop by for some takeout desserts after lunch. Everything was absolutely delicious, just as we remembered! I loved the chocolate dessert and the tiramisu--both were rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced. My wife especially enjoyed the passion fruit dessert, which had a wonderful sweet and tangy flavor. The owner is still as warm, friendly, and welcoming as ever, making every visit a pleasant experience. It's always nice to support a local business that consistently delivers high-quality pastries and excellent customer service. We'll definitely be back again! Highly recommended if you're looking for authentic French pastries and desserts in the Pinecrest area. read more
I've been wanting to try their coffee and baked goods for the longest time. When you take a seat, the tables and decor reminds you of Europe. My boyfriend asked for a chai latte and I tried their regular latte. Both were incredibly mid. My boyfriend ordered a chocolate croissant and ham & cheese croissant, it wasn't bad at all just ok. Our favorite was probably the glazed croissant muffin pastry (cruffin maybe?) Overall, the interior was cute and did indeed feel very French, it just did not taste very French. read more
I can never get tired of coming to Atelier Monnier! The pastries are always exceptionally fresh and high quality, and the staff is genuinely sweet and attentive. The vibe inside is lovely, cozy, charming, and filled with delightful French music. Plus, a great insider tip: starting at 6:00pm , they offer a 25% discount on pastries before closing at 7:00pm. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Over the years, Atelier Monnier has been my go-to place for birthday cakes to impress and diet breaking-worthy croissants. They have always been excellent as well as the service. Today I went there to purchase a cake for a birthday. This review is for the service and products I purchased today. When I entered, one of the ladies at the counter asked if she could help me. I asked the price of one of the cakes and after answering me, seemed a bit put off that I was asking and began to look away from me the remainder of the transaction. I told her I would like the cake and a croissant. She rang up the order and it wasn't until I added a gratuity on the order that she became attentive to say, "Thank you. That was nice". When I got home to inspect the cake, it was disappointed to see that despite having handled the cake with great care that it did not have the same appearance as in the shop. I am going to write this one off to them having an off day. read more

My husband and I came for their wine and food pairing tasting on a Sunday afternoon. William was our knowledgeable sommelier, who explained how to pair wines with certain foods. I learnt a lot. Beautiful store located in Pinecrest. We ended up buying two bottles of red. We also got to sample some of their pastries and cakes which were paired with their wine choices. I especially loved their chocolate mouse cake, their chocolate macaron and their almond croissant.. all to die for! read more
We've been here for dessert several times, I've enjoyed the pastries that we've ordered. I have 4 stars because they don't carry a wide selection of desserts and the seating inside is very limited. I won't go out of the way to visit Atelier Monnier but if I'm in the area I will continue to stop by. read more

Cute French bakery with a nice selection of pastries, sweets and wines. Prices reflect higher end delicacies, and greater quality of food ingredients. If you really put thought into it, prices of the pastries are actually about the same as some of the large coffeehouse chains, but taste and quality is so much better. Our favorites are the Almond chocolate croissants and the Macarons. They are indulgent and absolutely delicious! Service is usually friendly and professional. There's a really nice selection to choose from but go early in the weekends and special occasions as they will run out. The hubby recently picked up a special Valentine lychee creme Macaron and it was divine!! read more

Got there at 9 am and was given overnight almond croissants ($5) and dulce de leche (almost $4) croissants- it was semi flaky, greasy on the bottom- looks like there was a batch of fresh croissants on the side that she gave to another customer. We also got the prosciutto and salmon sandwiches for a picnic lunch at the park. It was decent. Pastry may have been better fresh, but why would I give business to someone who does not value all customers the same. read more

I placed on order for the 3 layer chocolate cake for a birthday. The order was prepared on time and was DELICIOUS. The 15-20 piece portion was the perfect size with macaroons along the side read more
I was looking for a coffee/pastry shop and stumbled upon Atelier Monnier. I was surprised I hadn't been before because this shopping center is packed with great restaurants I come to all the time. I grabbed a latte, some croissants, and a ham & Brie sandwich. Everything was really good, especially the almond croissant. I would love to come back and try their food and wine tasting as well as their desserts. The customer service was awesome, and felt very genuine. I was greeted with a smile and had all my questions answered. I had to work on a couple of things on my laptop really quickly and I felt really comfortable and welcome to despite them closing in 30 min. Really happy I found this place and I'll definitely be back! read more
I was drawn in by the words French bakery, then I saw the lunch specials & decided to give it a whirl. I wanted to try 5 different things, but summer is amongst us. There were surprisingly tons of options for a meal, ice cream, dessert, or gifts/special occasions. It's a really cute shoppe. I ordered a portobello sundried tomato pesto croissant. It tasted so fresh & was so delicious I ate it inside the bag & ate the flakes later (don't judge me). read more

After seeing a picture of a mille-feuille posted on Yelp, I was magically transported to Atelier Monnier. Not an easy trip though. The GPS cannot point out the correct location. Tip: remember the key words in the address, Dadeland Plaza. I am guessing the name Atelier Monnier is an indication that French is spoken here, nonetheless I was surprised when I opened the door. After a quick glance, I noticed on the dessert display the last mille-fueille waiting for me, so I called it like I saw it. Let me have the last mille-fueille. It was a lazy Saturday afternoon, and I was the only customer. I stroke a conversation that translates to this: French guy born in Toulouse, moved to Miami, spends everyday at the bakery. Belgian girl, likes American music, knows enough Spanish to understand and pronounce "cortadito" (and make a kick ass one), spends everyday at the bakery. The owner (or manager) came up after a minute. He seemed pleasant, and was intrigued that "la langue française" was flowing freely. After a long talk I grabbed my coffee and my mille-fueille and proceeded to put it apart. It was the only way to eat, a fork would smush everything. My method was the following: break a piece of dough, grab a little cream, repeat over and over. Delicious. If I consider this pastry as one of the hardest to make successfully, this is success. I was glad it wasn't covered with icing but just a sweet shiny glaze. The cream was so good I was thinking of Mascarpone cheese less the cheesy/sour milk taste. Next the macarons, the staple of the bakery, an answer to the cupcake-mania. I haven't been able to figure out how they are made, but they seem to be made like a meringue, although infused with flavor. Two macarons are held together by a paste, depending of the flavor you order. I went conservative with vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. Addictive. Lastly, I tried a croissant, because I believe that if you are a good baker, you should be able to turn a bar of butter into a great croissant. Atelier Monnier delivers a pretty good croissant that is fresh, soft, slightly sweet and tasty. Good job. After this visit, I just can't wait to go back. I love breads, and when I arrived only baguettes were left. I am a fan of French patisserie, but I am the biggest fan of French breads. I just can't wait to pop up on the morning when breads are fresh. Until then, au revoir. read more

Mmmm! I love Atelier Monnier! I come here once a month after my massage and treat myself to their Crunchy dessert. It is an absolute must for any hazelnut lover! The macaroons are delicious too! With about a dozen different flavors, you'll always have many options to choose from. The service is excellent and the girls are always so helpful. The store also offers croissants, cakes, coffee and the store owner is always happy to discuss the wine options. Definitely a must if you're in the area! read more
