I recently visited Delice et Chocolat and was so saddened to find out they have fallen victim to shrinkflation. The slices of cake are literally half the size they used to be but are still the same price! I've been a patron for many years and have gone out of my way to visit even though I've moved away from the area. Service was always friendly and the quality of food superb. I truly hope they adjust the portions to reflect their prices. read more

Their hot chocolate is my guilty pleasure. It might be one of the best hot chocolates I've ever had. Overall this is a cute little cafe with a lot of offerings. Their cake slices are super cute and their pastries, both sweet and savory, are delicious. I will say it's a bit pricey but ultimately it's worth it. read more

A delightful new patisserie to enjoy in Wayne. Great service and nice airy cafe. I had a yummy slice of quiche and picked up some gorgeous treats to share with friends. There's also a coffee bar and other drinks but it's the tasty pasties that will win you over. read more

Can we all collectively agree this is a '4 Star' place? That so desperately needs to be 5 Stars!? Today was "Get out of the apartment and have a cup of coffee day" and I refused to go into the city (Philadelphia). I got a lot of great suggestions but it is always so hard for the average commuter to get in the city to just enjoy a little quiet time. Steps in "Delice". I had a hankering for a French pastry and I got just that! My current obsession is spinach and feta croissant. I have a place within walking distance to where I live, but I needed a change of scenery. I wanted a moment to go to a charming cafe with hot coffee and tasty pastries. This was it. The staff were friendly (unlike the 3 places I left before I got here). They serve the tables which I was taken by. I was standing at the counter, hands open! Waiting! but my food was on the table! Very nice service. Very nice hosts. The treats were DELICIOUS! I think there is a menu somewhere but I am in heaven I'm staying for lunch! There is WiFi. They let me use my own cup, Nobody bothered me when I sat here for little over an hour. I am pleased. Oui! oui! I will be back! read more

Very cute French inspired coffee/chocolate/pastry shop! We came in on the whim while waiting for friends to meet up for an event. My husband ordered a mocha while I ordered a cappuccino. We also got a cookie croissant (which is all the hype!) and a baked tart. The cappuccino was beautiful and tasted great. The cookie croissant was flakey and soft on the inside because of the cookie. My husband enjoyed this tart and coffee too! It's also very family friendly since a bunch of little families were also in there. Very cute fine! Would love to come back and hang out more when we are in the area. read more

This review is more like 4.5 stars. I pass by this bakery often enough, but never had the opportunity to try. For my daughter's birthday I decided to order their Fiji cake (Coconut lime mousse, mango gelee, key lime center, ladyfinger, and an almond coconut base). I do have to say it was super delicious! My only complaint is that I had to call and make the order (online order would have been easier, but I do understand with custom cake it's better to directly talk to them). It was really difficult to communicate because of the noise level at the bakery. When I went into the bakery to also pick up some pastries (really delicious) I understood why the noise was so loud. I think the interior is built in a way where the noise just gets amplified. With a lot of conversations, little children crying, and espresso machine working it was very loud. Aside from the noise factor this is a legit French bakery! read more

Pretty minimalistic inside. Pastries and cakes look delicious. My chai latte was okay, a bit lacking in flavor, seemed watery. Nice enough staff. I think the mid-afternoon energy was low. read more

So lucky to have the finest French pastries right here in Ardmore! This is the ultimate local café--great coffee, relaxed ambiance and gracious service. Come in, treat yourself to something special, and make new friends. It's all here! read more

I might be grabbing a cafe au lait and a quiche Lorraine in Ardmore, PA when I come here. But if I sit at the right table and take my first sip or bite it feels like I'm transported directly to a cafe in Paris. It makes sense for a cafe founded by two brothers who came out of Grenoble. For casuals in need of a sweet pick-me-up and a damn fine cup of cup of coffee in the morning Delice Et Chocolat has you covered. But Francophiles in need of a damn fine Croque Monsieur and macarons will be able to sit down and bask in the attention to detail. Like most casuals, I had my first taste of Delice when I was grabbing a red eye on the go and I was also enticed to grab some delectable macarons. But upon first bite of their pistachio one and total devouring of their caramel macaron I started to note that greater detail that had me wanting more. And I got it in spades during my first lunch visit. While my Jambon Fromage sandwich might have been a touch drier than I would have liked, and my friend's quiche Lorraine made me more than a little jealous, I more than appreciated the incredible fresh baguette that the meat and cheese was sandwiched between, and I thought that it had a reasonable cheese and meat ratio. Alongside the fantastically fresh coffee, the other winner was the service which was spot-on and attentive despite it being a relatively packed and rainy Saturday afternoon. Toss in a fully stocked coffee and espresso bar that even makes a couple of smoothies and an impressive assortment of croissants, and there's plety of reasons to stop in and enjoy. read more

I tried their almond croissant and apple tart. The almond croissant wasn't too sweet, but the frangipane was a little too decadent for my taste. As for the apple tart, it was tangy and sweet, and the apples were fresh in contrast to the butteriness of the pastry. I'll definitely be back to try their other pastries in the future! read more

I love all the cute little shops around Ardmore, and Delice Et Chocolat is no exception! It has a very neighborhood feel. The coffee and pastry selections are pretty large, and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. They also serve smoothies (which was a pleasant surprise!), and I really enjoyed mine that I got for breakfast. I would love to go back at some point and try the lunch food because the menu looked delicious. My only complaints would be that I wish there was more seating, but I understand it's not a huge space, and that the line can get very long as they only have one person working the front to take everyone's orders. Overall though, I would definitely go back! Food: N/A Drinks: A Service: B- Ambiance: B- read more

Unless you are a light skin complexion you will not be treated fairly. As soon as I entered, an older lady with glasses grabbed the tip jar and placed it behind the counter. I am standing at the counter ready to place my order but somehow I become invisible. The older lady with glasses saw me but refused to take my order. She helped a woman who came behind me and a gentleman that came in after. Finally when I am the only one standing there she empties the tip jar and proceeds to start adjusting the croissants. I say hello, can I order? and she grudgingly took my order . It's strange because they have minorities working behind the counter, but maybe that is just for appearance. I am never returning here. read more

Pretty much the only decent eatery and café in Wayne. While the prices are nothing special (they are about the same as any other business of its type), and while I cannot speak for the beverages (the tea is of slightly better quality than anywhere else I have had it), the food is. As the name implies, this is a French eatery. But this is not simply a marketing gimmick, not as far as I can tell: the pastries (including the cake) and the quiche are made of high quality ingredients and baked with expertise. The fruit raisins in the Raisin and Cream tart are not chunks of either near-tasteless or overpoweringly sour wrinkles like one would expect, but soft packets of flavor, with a texture midway to a boiled consistency, and just sour enough to complement the flaky buttery bread and smooth sweet cream. The various almond croissants are not bland dinner rolls with a curmudgeonly placed smidge of almond paste squirted into the middle of the pastry as if by accident. Rather, they are filled with the paste as one might spread warm butter upon fresh bread. On the outside, what seem to be chunks of a substance that tastes like almond paste jut out of the flaky crust, making the almond part of its name mean something without being overbearing, and adding to their various soft and hard, smooth and bumpy textures that both parallel and uplift one another. Even the plain croissant, usually offered in other cafes either out of obligation or to exaggerate the little flavor that the other offerings possess, is a treat to eat alone as it is appropriately buttery and flaky, akin to their more savory options, such as the ham and cheese, spinach feta, or leek parmesan croissants. They also offer soups and sandwiches which I have yet to try, but I am excited to sample, so confident am I in the ability and passions of their bakers and cooks. The ambience is also nicer than most other places. The outside of the eatery is unique but not gawdy, with a simple calligraphic sign, glass front, and a light green paint reminiscent of eaely 1900s Paris that is easy on the eyes (and even gets my appetite going for some reason). The interior is open with an impressive amount of seating considering its small size (compare this to many establishments, especially corporate ones, which seem to be reducing seating more and more every year), as people walk in and out to grab a couple of their pastries before they close around 4:00 everyday. Its walls are painted with the same green as the outdoors and are largely unadorned with the exception of a few mirrors and two lamps, all bordered and constructed with brass, that throw out the same soft pleasant light that the overhead bulbs do over at the bar. There is a counter with napkins, cream, straws, and sugar packets as you would find at a similar eatery, though with a bit more decor, featuring a white marble top with splotches of gray, a white flowery plant with green leave (the same plant hangs from the ceiling over by the front, which you may miss on your first visit if you are anything like me), and an old-fashioned radio (though it does not work as far as I can tell). The small tables that dot the margins of the shop feature a similar marble of thinner width with black metal legs of various designs whose weight makes for a sturdy, if somewhat cramped, table. The wooden chairs that accompany them are of a dark-brown color and, while not especially comfortable, suffice for awhile as the customer finishes their food and drink. Their color and wood complement the lighter wooden floor, which I find to be more welcoming than the typical tile found in many businesses these days. My sole criticism at this point is the lack of variety in their pastries, which I don't necessarily want to change. It would be nice to see a few other non-croissant options: imagine what they would do with a blueberry muffin or an eclair! Or they could introduce a French dessert that would be unfamiliar to most USAmericans to experiment with and expand our palettes. I hope to see this place thrive for a long time to come. I know that I will be eating here regularly as long as they remain. read more

The pastries are out of this world! Coffee and lattes are amazing. If there is quiche available, GET IT!

Every morning when I go into the office I stop here. The coffee is strong and if you know me, you know I love strong, bold, smooth coffee. The morning rush line can get a little long and sometimes the wait can be frustrating but..again, the coffee is good enough for me to practice my yoga breath instead of flipping out cause now I'm 15 minutes late for work instead of 10. It's also a great place to sit and work. Lots of seating option. I also go in on my lunch break for their caprese sandwich which I am also addicted to and yes I have to have a raisin pain or croissant with my coffee. They are like a bad, expensive habit because I shouldn't be eating pastries so much and 8 bucks for coffee and pastry, then 11 and change for lunch in a recession is going to bankrupt me. read more

After traveling from France and experiencing the boulangeries and falling in love with the country I was on a hunt to find the best French bakery in PA. after some searching I found Delice egg Chocolate tucked away in Ardmore. I love the location due to its proximity to other restaraunts like Maman, Shake Shack as well as businesses like Soulcycle, Lululemon, Sephora , apple and Trader Joe's. They have a ton of different pastries but come early because they do go fast !!! I tried their cakes and have been a loyal member for years. I order a cake every year for birthdays , anniversaries and any occasions. My entire family and boyfriend love their cakes. They are freshly made with the best ingredients ! read more

In light of COVID-19, I appreciate everything this business is doing to keep afloat and be conscious of keeping everyone safe. I'd been craving macarons for weeks and I was about to just order some from very far away (like states away) when I discovered this place just a few miles from my house. They were taking phone and text orders for select meals as well as pastries, and it was as easy as coming in and paying! I ordered coffee, mango passionfruit, caramel, and earl grey macarons, and every single one was amazing. For $2 per cookie, they are an easy new favorite place and I wish them the best through this difficult time! read more

Went with granddaughter and the guy and young lady behind counter were so pleasant and engaging! But it was the macarons and pain au chocolate that won us over! Everything we had was SO good that we got the spinach feta croissant, quiche and almond croissant to take home...and they were exceptional! This now our favorite place for Grandma and granddaughter to sit and chat with special treats! read more

I cannot believe I've been working in Ardmore for 3 years and have JUST finally experienced this *adorable* French cafe. To be fair, I've just become a parking expert to the area, and can honestly admit that's probably a huge reason why I've never paid a visit. The shop is super clean and HUGE! A great alternative to post up for a coffee meeting as opposed to Starbucks, which is always heavily populated. They serve your usual cafe beverage options: drip coffees, lattes, mochas, teas, flavored syrups, and even smoothies. I kept it simple and got a vanilla latte with almond milk. It was superb! And extra hot (just how I like it!) Additionally, there are tons of French nibbles and even vinaigrettes and othered bottle items to choose from. Great place to pickup a gift for those foodies in your life. I couldn't leave without a to-go back of treats. So I got the chocolate croissant and the apple turnover because it was just so pretty to look at in the case. The croissant was definitely my favorite of the two...but that's really just because I prefer the sweetness of chocolate over apple. I still suggest trying both! Can't wait to return (and most likely become a regular lol). read more

Love this place and how it is set up in the heart of Ardmore. Enjoyed each and every macaron I ordered. We practically inhaled them. The pan au chocolate did not disappoint either. There was plenty of chocolate for the chocolate lovers and the bread was flaky, just like mom's my kids said. Will definitely be coming back to pick up some more when in the area. read more

My wife is French, her family is French, and I enjoy French baker goods. This bakery, forgive me for this, delivered the goods. While they didn't have an expansive collection of cakes available, I bought two of the three and they were both delicious, if very different. One was chocolate, one was fruity. Both were excellent, as was the berry and cheese danish I bought. Would definitely recommend. read more

Handmade coffees set the stage for the beautifully prepared and decorated French pastries that line the glass display case. I hadn't been post pandemic until the other day when I walked by, and couldn't resist. Staff were super friendly and explained ingredients to the customer in front of me who was worried about food allergies. Although it was just my daughter and I, we got the spinach and cheese croissant (beautiful cross cross pattern, buttery flakey dough and well balanced filling ratio), the chocolate croissant (because why not) and the almond croissant (not dripping in shaved almonds, but the filling is perfect and didn't make me miss the almond crusted exterior I'm used to) read more

Food is 4+ stars but giving this a 3 star review because your tiny juice boxes are $4 which cost more than the croissants!! Wish they would have macaroons at 10:30am but didn't. read more

We got our wedding cake from Delice et Chocolat. At our tasting we were able to try 6 different flavors and were also told we could ask for things off menu. We ended up ordering a hazelnut cake and a strawberry shortcake for our wedding and they did not disappoint. The hazelnut cake was decorated absolutely beautifully and tasted like a Ferrero Rocher. The strawberry shortcake was also presented nicely and tasted delicious. The cake was ready on time and prepared for transport to our venue. Several of our guests pulled us aside to tell us how good the cake was and we'd get cake from here again! read more

I recently went to the Ardmore music Hall and passed this delectable looking place. My wife and I decided to go after my son really thought it was good with his friend. They split the quiche and soup for all of $15. We went a little further. My wife ordered the Crab gazpacho and we split the Spinach w strawberries and the light vinaigrette to top it off. They were both distinctly delicious, and I do not like spinach but the vinaigrette was outstanding with the strawberries. Now I have been eating quiche for over 50 years and making it myself and having it in France and a number of other places. I also pride myself in my own ratatouille - being mostly vegetarian. It is so comforting to say that the serving of Quiche rattotoui was not only the best quiche I ever had, but the ratatouille and was absolutely delectable. The tomato break-down with the vegetables was perfect and vegetables even stayed floating within the super smooth silky, melt in your mouth quiche. And believe me - I am really picky - when it comes to over done, thick, heavy fatty look-alikes. The crust was the most flavorful layered crust in the world. Almost like having a croissant as your crust. It was amazing. So now for the most OUT- standing dessert I might ever have had. It is called Fiji Gateau - being the French word for a layer cake with fruits and creams. And fruits and creams this had. Nothing short of amazing. the intensity of the fruit infusions make these French cakes and pastries nothing short of outstanding. While they may 'look' similar to those you might see up in New York or even in some Asian shops, the flavors go beyond anything I have tasted. Yes - Even in New York. And they are in Ardmore. Five years from now you won't recognize this place. Brooklyn here we come. We finally split some chocolate gelati. Silky smooth, almost like pudding, but then it has small bits of semi sweet chocolate that leave the pallet so wonderfully chocolatey dream fulfilling- well, nap time! Now if you expect to go through the line and immediately get your order, then think taking your time with your meal and to enjoy the company and the super white surroundings. The plating is wonderful and you should experience this like sitting in a French café. Don't be trying to do a 15 minute lunch, or a 60 minute break when you're really only have 10 minutes to eat. Wait for a better time because you're going to want dessert for sure, but also an ice tea or coffee with soup and an entrée or sandwich. Dare to share - don't be square. It's the only way to be fair. Get a Chocolate croissant to go. I warmed it up this morning. Killer! Just take a look at this picture. Don't you want to just lick the chocolate off the phone? read more

Food was good. Staff was totally indifferent, to the point of rudeness. Difficult to get waited on. Chairs were not comfortable, and I am not a large-sized person.

Delice Et Chocolat - Ratatouille quiche - delish - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

This is truly the gem of Ardmore serving a tiny piece of France to the Mainline! Délice et Chocolat is a lovely spot serving up great good and even greater pastries. The location: The shop is located right off the Ardmore Septa station. If you are driving, it's on Lancaster Avenue. There are some curb side parking spots but it's best to find a parkometer lot nearby. The atmosphere: Inside the shop is well lit and has many windows bringing in tons of natural light. You can see the food and drink boards easily along with the freshly baked goods in their respective basket slot. There is quite a bit of seating however, space fills up quickly due to this place's popularity. There are two sections of the shop: the baked goods/coffee/entree food area and the pastry area with the cakes/macarons/brownies. It's easy to spot the two sections so don't fret! The food: Scrumptious! Everything here is simply a tastebud trip to heaven. The macarons are perfect, the chocolate croissants have just enough chocolate before it gets overbearing, the quiche should be illegal for how tasty it is...I can keep going but I think you understand! The one thing to look out for is cake slices in the morning with fruit inside them like the Mora. It's absolutely delicious but the raspberries inside it are frozen so you might get an icy bite. Other than that, you should try this place out!! read more

Lives up to the name! Very elaborate pastries that are the best in Ardmore. Pretty high prices, but that's to be expected. Reminded me of France in a lot of ways. I got one of their signature cake things- don't recall the name- but it was excellent. Will be back! Has parking. read more

After hearing about Delice et Chocolat from my mom for weeks, we finally made our way over to the Le Bec Fin Alums café for breakfast while I was in town for a visit. Since it's easy to realize parking can be an issue at that corner of Lancaster we walked from home. We each got a pastry and latte setting us back about $16. A little pricey, but this is the Mainline. She got the croissant while I devoured the spinach filled flakey goodness. I'd suggest asking them to warm it up in the toaster for a minute. They seem to have already built quite a reputation in the neighbor as it was not quiet. Many enjoying their cup of coffee and sitting in their computers working while others going to the back bakery to pick up orders. The staff was friendly and the pastries were fresh and delightful. This is certainly a welcome addition to the neighbor and I'll definitely be back for a sampling of Antoine Armani's deserts. I remember when his chocolate shop closed in Norristown but thrilled to see him back out in this joint venture with his brother. read more

Croissants? Voted best in the City (and yet this place is not within City limits). THAT's how amazing they are. Slightly crunchy on the outside while fluffy inside. Heavenly. All their items are true delicacies. I spoke with the friendly owner once and told him how in Paris I had enjoyed this wonderful dish. After I described it, he said, "We make that here for you!" Without flying to CDG, I was taken there with each bite. Perfect! Super friendly and attentive staff. Make sure to sit outside and face Lancaster (like a Parisian). read more

Definitely one of my "to go" cafes on the Main Line. Everything I've had has been great. My favorite is the Nutella Strawberry Crepe. The macaroons are also really yummy, and so is the coffee. I only give it four stars because ordering and picking up food can be confusing. You have to go to the counter to pick up food and it can be confusing which is your food and which is someone else's. Tip: Get there early to have the best assortment of pastries and macaroons. There isn't much left in the afternoon. read more
