While we were in Los Gatos, my daughter and I spotted Fleur de Cocoa and immediately had to stop because we have a slightly unhealthy obsession with chocolate croissants. We had to see if they had any, and luckily there was exactly one left! We bought it to have for breakfast the next morning. I'll admit, I was a little nervous because it was packaged in a bag and I wasn't sure how well it would hold up overnight. But the next morning, we basically fought over who was going to get the biggest piece. It was still flaky and delicious, and there was chocolate in every bite. The chocolate was in strips through the middle rather than spread throughout the entire pastry, but there was still enough that we never had a bite without chocolate. It ended up being such a sweet way to start our last day in town. They had so many other pastries and desserts that looked absolutely amazing, but we had just eaten lunch and knew we were heading back out for the day, so we didn't want to risk buying something that might melt in the car. If you're in Los Gatos and love chocolate croissants as much as we do, definitely stop in! And if there's only one left...don't hesitate. Grab it! read more

We had the Fleur de Cocoa chocolate mousse cake - so beautiful to look at and just as delicious - amazing! We also purchased Fleur de Cocoa chocolates and the espresso chocolates. I wish we had also had lunch there - everything looked so good! Wonderful, friendly waitstaff, and the decor/ambiance reminded me very much of Paris - beautiful shop & cafe with lovely outdoor seating as well. Sidebar: they use Valrhona chocolate which is one of our most favorite European gourmet chocolatiers. We went to the Valrhona chocolaterie a number of times for their chocolate and hot chocolate during our recent trip to Paris - my favorite hot chocolate in the world! read more

Fleur de Cocoa - Bakeries Near Me - Los Gatos, California

We're French and feel so blessed to have this authentic, amazing bakery in the Bay Area. This bakery offers the best pastries in the Bay Area. We love everything they make: almond croissants, pain aux raisins, abricotines, delicious éclairs, pastries... literally EVERYTHING. The chef is a true artist and incredibly talented. His wife, Aline, is also wonderfully kind and welcoming to customers. We recently ordered a cake for our senior graduates, and all of our French guests were so impressed by both the unique design and the taste of the cake. I would highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking to enjoy the very best French pastries. THANK YOU read more

While attending the parade I stumbled upon this place. There was a line out the door so I hopped in. Waited 15mins and placed my order. So many goodies to pick from. Paid and waited a few minutes for our food and dined outside on the patio. Chocolate almond croissant: 3/5 too much going on here. Pain au chocolat would have been better. Almond croissant: 4/5 a bit too bready but taste is good. Apricotine: 5/5 the best of the 3. Not too sweet, great flavor and love the flaky buttery crust. Coffee: good per hubby read more

Visited this place multiple times and it never disappoints. If you've ever been to Paris you have something to compare it to. Their pastries are absolutely delicious. I'm a huge fan. They have a super friendly staff. I love the outdoor seating. read more

I stopped in to pick up some pastries for breakfast. The interior has been remodeled/updated since I was last here. Clean and nicely decorated. One unisex single user restroom. For sure, I knew I was getting a Butter Croissant for my wife. Chocolate Pistachio Brioche (offered only on the weekend). It was flaky and chocolate-y. I am glad I tried it. Almond Croissant with Raspberry, Pistachio, with Orange Blossom (glaze) - This had a lot of textures and flavors. I really liked this! The raspberry fruit really seeped into the croissant. My wife didn't like this as much as I did. She prefers a simpler croissant like the butter croissant. The service is always warm and friendly here. Support your local business! read more

This is hands down one of my favorite patesseries! The inside is so cute and European. They have beautiful delicious and unique desserts and typical Los Gatos prices! My favorite will always be the Royal! Chocolatey hazelnut crispy goodness! They often sell out . Fast service read more

We stopped by here and had the Fleur de Cocoa mousse cake dessert. Beautiful and delicious, they clearly use quality chocolate.

Came on a whim since I was in the area for the first time and it did not disappoint! I haven't been to many French pâtisseries in the Bay Area before, so I definitely wanted to try one. Since they seem to advertise their hot chocolate a lot, I wanted to grab one to warm myself up. Once I got to the store, it was so cozy and inviting. There were so many different options for pastries and chocolates that it could give me crazy indecision. I ended up going with the hot chocolate and the croissant sandwich. Service was quick and warm and the food was delicious! By far the best croissant sandwich that I've tried from a bakery. The hot chocolate was pretty ordinary to me honestly. I didn't see or taste anything special about it. It was good though. Definitely want to come back at some point to try the pastries and chocolate. read more

Was gifted an incredible chocolate cake from here! It was the smoothest chocolate cake I've ever had. The texture was light and fluffy, and the chocolate was decadent. The details added a delicate and artistic flair that enticed us. Now my husband and I wondered why we would even bother attempting baking when this cake exists in downtown LG haha read more

Though I've had Fleur de Cocoa treats over the years either at a party or via Locale delivery, this was my first time actually stopping in to get a treat from the source, a crime - I know. I was absolutely blown away by the variety and sheer number of different items they had filling their cases. As a pastry and chocolate lover this was paradise, but also such a hard decision, I would've taken one of everything if I could've! We ended up getting a mini chocolate, cream cheese, and raspberry croissant, full sized raspberry pistachio almond croissant, and a Côte d'Ivoire dessert. Everything was pretty damn delicious, with the raspberry pistachio almond croissant being both mine and my mom's favorite. We also really liked the mini cream cheese croissants. The only thing we ordered that I wouldn't get again is the mini chocolate croissant, and that's just because I'd want a full sized one to get more chocolate, there wasn't quite enough to really enjoy it in the smaller size! Service was very friendly and even though there were a lot of people in line it moved quickly. Can't wait to come back for some more goodies! read more

My husband and I ordered a croquembouche and petits fours (mini fruit tarts) from Fleur de Cocoa for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. My husband is half French, and Fleur de Cocoa is one of his favorite French bakeries. Once we learned they offered croquembouches, we almost immediately decided to have one instead of a traditional wedding cake. Aline was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was warm, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful: from the tasting and dessert selection, to reminding us to make sure our venue had enough refrigerator space, explaining how to transport and serve the croquembouche, and personally delivering it on our wedding day. Her attention to detail made everything so much easier. The desserts were absolutely delicious. Our guests loved both the croquembouche and the fruit tarts. They disappeared so quickly that I didn't even get to try every flavor! We actually went back to the bakery a few days after the wedding just to buy more. If you're looking for wedding desserts (or simply an amazing French bakery), we highly recommend Fleur de Cocoa. Thank you, Aline, for helping make our wedding so special! read more

Overall review: 4.5/5 For many years, this bakery has been a staple for me to grab specialty cakes for birthday celebrations or a quick hangout spot to grab cake and pastries with friends. It's a small bakery but service is quick and workers are friendly. A lot of people grab and go but there are tables for you to sit and enjoy your food and drinks. The cakes are my favorite part of this bakery. They're light and the flavors for most of the cakes pair really well together. Situated in downtown Los Gatos, there's plenty of parking ranging from street parking to parking lots. You may have to walk a bit but the area is very nice to shop and explore. My friend and I ordered: 1. Tropical rose cake (5/5): if you love the taste of passion fruit and coconut, you'll like this cake 2. Exotic kiss (4/5): it was mango forward and delightful. Personal preference but the cake had a marshmallow ring that I wasn't the biggest fan of. Overall, a bakery that I highly recommend you try because most likely, you'll end up finding a cake you like! read more

(Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is Parisian Cafe! Pssst...don't tell anyone that they don't need to catch a flight to Paris anymore. Sarah warmly greeted us! She is super nice! Turkish Rose Latte! Takes me to Istanbul...not that I've ever been either, but absolutely delightful! Vanilla Latte! (The vanilla syrup is made here!) It is soooo good! Deeelish! Thanks for the rec, Sarah! Croque Madame! Mais ouis avec oeuf! C'est magnifique! Incroyable!! Satisfying! And may I add a culinary masterpiece! C'est vrai! Feast your eyes and taste buds on the proper manifestation of a grilled cheese avec ham and a perfect egg on top! An absolute must! Would order everything again! Thanks, Sarah! Woohoo! read more

We've been coming here for more than 10 years but looks like I never wrote a review , so there we go It's a fantastic bakery , more like 4.5 stars The pastries are excellent - fresh , rich and at the right size . My family brought today the pistachio raspberry croissant and it was a top 10 croissants of all times . The owner can be a little grumpy if you ask for things outside what is published , but otherwise they're great. Very recommended ! read more

Fleur de Cocoa - Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I've been to Fleur de Cocoa more times than I can possibly count. It's the place we get most of our cakes for special occasions, as Fleur de Cocoa has a wide variety of mousse cakes on offer. My absolute favorite is their bouche de Noel at Christmastime. But for birthdays, we've taken to ordering 5 or 6 of the individual mousse cakes in different flavors and then sampling all of them. So fun! We've tried nearly all of them - the Red and Black, Emmeline, Satin, Exotic Kiss, Gourmandise, Eclipse, Seduction, and the Paris. There really is something for everyone - chocolate lovers and those who prefer fruit flavors instead. On weekends, we come for brunch and sit outside. I often have the salad Nicoise, while my husband goes with the chocolate croissants or pain au chocolat, which he says are very similar to what you'd get in France. The salad Nicoise is delicious - I always ask for avocado along with it. It's fresh, filling and fuels me for the day. Fleur de Cocoa also makes chocolates for special occasions, which I've had for Easter and for Christmas. Very high quality chocolate indeed, but beware that these products come at a premium. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend stopping by Fleur de Cocoa if you are in LG. Lots of yummy pastries, sweet treats, and brunch options. read more

I absolutely love that place, I wish I was living closer! They have every French pastry you can dream of, made the traditional way and they all taste right! Every trip there is like going back to my home town and enjoying a pastry while walking in the street of Nice... For our wedding we of course order some amuse bouche and the cake... It was just perfect, great price, great quality, tasted absolutely amazing!! The owners are absolutely adorable and super friendly! Fleur de Cocoa does everything right! read more

Disappointing experience. The eclair was stale and lacked flavor, and I had to ask three times just to get cream for my coffee.

Great bakery. Very high quality. The Normandy tarte (apple with vanilla cream) is amazing

Nestled away in downtown this tiny local cafe has more or less retained its charm and quality over the years. A bit pricy and could get crowded fast, not much indoor space. Need much luck to snatch the only group window seat, otherwise just 2-people tables right by the queue. As fresh and authentic as it can get around here for pastries and coffee. Expensive but the only place to justify spending on hot cocoa/chocolate read more

I've been coming here for 5+ years and this is my go-to spot in Los Gatos especially for a high quality pastry and well made latte. The food is high quality, consistent and absolutely delicious with plenty of variety and flavors. The hospitality is above and beyond, very friendly staff and the small, comfortable seating area reminds me of shops I have been to in Europe. I have also had a great experience ordering cakes for special occasions and they have come out perfect and flavorful everytime! Highly recommend this place! PS. I'm a coffee snob and very particular about my lattes... read more

Very mediocre pastries, barely better than geocery stores. Alexander's Patisserie is just way better, yes, it's slightly more expensive there, but the quality and taste makes it much more worth it. Service was pretty bad. I asked for water at the counter, only received one cup for ordering 2 desserts between 3 people. FYI, they charge a 3% credit card fee. read more

A longtime establishment in the Los Gatos area, this place is a true classic when it comes to pastries and cakes! I picked up a pineapple chausson and a Tropical Rose individual size cake. Really loved the chausson which was loaded with pineapples and not too sweet overall. The Tropical Rose did taste great and was very creamy-coconutty but too sweet for my liking. Maybe next time I will try one of the extra dark chocolate pastries to see if that works better for me. It's a very good place to take a date or get a cake for a special occasion! read more

I randomly came across this spot after lunch and decided to give it a try. I was recommended the Eclipse dessert, and even though I'm not a huge chocolate cake person, I love passion fruit, so I went for it! The Eclipse ($10.95) is a mix of passion fruit mousse, dark chocolate mousse, and chocolate sponge cake. The rich chocolate was perfectly balanced by the tangy passion fruit, making it both pretty and delicious! Definitely a unique and enjoyable dessert. I also tried the Breton Latte ($6.00), a salted caramel latte, which was a nice complement to the dessert--smooth and not too sweet. Great little find if you're looking for a treat! read more

This is a crazy story but 10 years ago I went to the Chef's bakery back when he was located in Palm Springs. Had the best croissants of my life. I recently went back to the Palm Spring's bakery. Unfortunately it is no longer run by him but his brother says the Chef recently opened Fleur De Cocoa in Los Gatos. A month later I'm in Los Gatos and ordering just about every dessert and pastry. They are so good! ROYAL: my favorite. There's a velvety smooth mousse layer and another layer of crunch. I don't know how he made the crunchy layer but it's all addicting! I came back the following day just to get this dessert again. CANELE: best candle of my life. I took a bite of the crunch exterior and soft gooey center. I went back to the bakery to order 3 more! CROISSANT: it's good, but not like how I remembered it in my mind from 10 years ago. FIFTH AVENUE: this one is for pistachio lovers!! I would order it again. Pistachio flavor everywhere in this lovely dessert. APRICOT PASTRY: I am for sure ordering this again when I come back. The custard layer was just the right amount and the pastry was perfect! COTE D'IVOIRE: it's very good if you like orange flavor from the Cointreau. I'm glad I tried it but the Royal is still my top pick. read more

This review is for their hot chocolate only. Very disappointing. I have been a customer since they first open in Los Gatos and I am wondering, if they change ownership as the quality went down significantly. I didn't try the pastries lately but I have a cup of hot chocolate every time I am in LG. It used to be thick and creamy and now its like any other hot chocolate made from powder. What happened? At least the whipped cream is still real. The service gone worse as well. Our order was served in a very unappealing way and not the way we have ordered it and when I asked to redo it, the young woman who was doing the drinks, showed a lot of attitude and made unappealing to come back to this place. Its really sad when you liked the place for years and than it changed... read more

Great desserts for sure! Stopped by to pick up a few items. The shop is located in busy downtown area. It's a cute little shop that is quite busy. There was a line almost out the door when I came by on a Sunday afternoon. The line moved pretty quickly though and I was in and out in 5 minutes. Passion Fruit Tart: My favorite of the things I bought. Definitely on the more tart side but it had such a good flavor. Mango mousse dessert: This was like a mango on mango on mango. There was a mousse on the outside, mango cake and then some chunks on the inside. If you're a fan of mangoes then this is for you. Tiramisu: Very solid tiramisu imo! Nothing crazy but I really liked this one. Prices are on the more expensive side for small pastries, but the quality here is top-notch! I would recommend this place! read more

Great all around! Especially when the owner is there always assisting smiling and ensuring all is well.

Hands down one of the most delicious citrus tarts I've ever had. The balance was perfect; the right amount of buttery crust to silky, tangy filling. Bright, citrusy, and satisfyingly tart without being overwhelming. It hit my sweet tooth in exactly the right spot and left me wanting another bite long after it was gone. Passion fruit was my absolute favorite even though they were all good, a must-order. read more
