En route to a family function, we needed a holiday gift and stumbled upon Fleu de Sel in this charming downtown area. Their desserts were elegantly presented and delicious, but a bit pricey overall. read more

Bigger than average macarons. They are crispy on the outside, but very mushy on the inside. We use a very dry jam when we make them at home. I don't know what type of jam they used, but I kind of liked the mushy and creamy inside. It was different in a good way. The other baked items were not so good. But the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. And it was the end of their day, but still, they were awesome! read more

This was a little shop that served pastries, salads, and sandwiches along with some handcrafted beverages. All of their baked goods were baked from scratch and daily, so quantity was limited as we entered towards the end of the day, which was a good sign to me! I was able to try the chocolate banana tart ($6). There seemed to be meringue on top of the chocolate with a hint of banana present. I could not tell if the banana was actually in the meringue or the chocolate tart itself. Regardless, it was very good and an ideal treat. This looked like it was going to be heavy, but upon picking it up, it was airy and light. It was not too sweet and had a great balance of banana and chocolate. I really enjoyed this. Will I go back? Definitely. read more

Delicious little bakery! Stopped in late Friday for a sweet treat and hot coffee. Enjoyed 1. salted caramel and 2. coffee macarons and a toasted marshmallow mocha. The macarons were so light and delicious. The mocha was good too. My friend enjoyed the soup. The service was great -- brought us our treats to our table and offered us cups of water. My brother also ordered 2 cakes for a birthday celebration -- one chocolate and one strawberry and both were amazing! read more

Looks like a family run business, the owners little daughters were at the front helping customers which was so homely and welcoming. The pastries look picturesque and gram worthy, and also taste equally delicious. We got the pistachio chocolate tart which had complex layers and flavors, sooo good !! The cappuccino was 10/10 too. Going to come back to try other pastries too. read more

A very cute and cozy spot. They have a variety of coffee options and can make a decaf espresso. We got 2 decaf machiatos. They were delicious! My friend and I split a chocolate mouse little cake. It was fantastic! I'll be back to try more desserts. The ladies behind the counter quickly take your order and are efficient. They were able to describe all the desserts. read more

Cute little pastry shop tucked away in downtown Chatham. Gotta get here early - the pastries sell out quickly. The fruit tarts and mousse cakes are fire. However, the macarons are a bit sweet for my taste. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Discovered this place walking to a local coffee shop in Chatham. Wasn't going to get anything but the coffee shop praised their ham & cheese croissants. Decided to try them out. Came for that croissant but it must be a lunch item, so I just got a cheese croissant. It was light, airy, and decadent. It was not cheese filled but I believe it was in the dough. You could tell it was freshly made and not chain like. It came on a brown/compostable paper plate. The service was unrushed and friendly. They are French. The croissant was a bit pricey at $4.50 but it goes with the ambiance. I will be back to try the ham and cheese croissant but don't see myself coming here regularly. read more

LOVE this place! Croissants are fab and the desserts are absolutely beautiful (and importantly also very delicious)! The folks behind the counter are friendly and helpful. And should also mention that the coffee is good! read more

Came for some GF birthday cake on a Friday morning, but was told that Saturdays are the GF days. So, got some Macarons and coffee instead. Rose - barely there pink: very delicate, almost like a palette cleanser Lavender- light pink: definitely lavender at first bite, followed by light sweet sensation Raspberry - orange pink: yummy deliciousness - my favorite! Chocolate - brown: rich, fudge-y, best chocolate macaron around!! The bakery is welcoming, clean, has beautifully displayed baked goods, cakes, and has lovely staff. Thank you for my birthday treat. Will be back for more! read more

Meh. Not sure what all the fuss is over this place. Stopped in for sandwiches. Expensive, and not particularly amazing (and yes, I've been to Paris and know what to expect when it comes to French luncheon foods). Atmosphere inside is bland. Won't be back. read more

I have friends in Chatham who really know food. They sent me here because they know I love good eats! I popped in last Friday (in Lent) and was awed by the aroma and visual temptations in their cases. My wife is a fan of "good" chocolate croissants but, with a few exceptions, most of the ones readily available at the local food stores and some bakeries were short on the chocolate and long on the bread - not her favorite. I'm a huge fan of almond croissants so I scanned the cases for theirs and found both. They came home with me. I saw a mushroom quiche and since it was Lent, I ordered two. Finally, I saw a chocolate tart that had to come home too. The verdict: The Chocolate croissant got a thumbs up from my wife. She said there was a bite of chocolate in every munch. A winner. The Almond Croissant was excellent. On par with the best I have had (Tartine in Greenwich Village is great too). The quiche was very good and just enough for lunch. Finally, the chocolate tart was, as they say on Long Island, "ta die for"... Will go back just for another. This is a great local find and one you need to visit - and visit hungry! read more

Fleur de Sel - Temptation island! - Bakeries Near Me - Chatham, New Jersey

I finally tried this gem of a spot in Chatham. As the other reviews indicate, the place is legit, beyond legit. This is traditional french pastries, prepared what seems like daily, reasonably priced, and delish. I bought 2 eclairs, one chocolate croissant, and one Baguette for $17.25. My kids raved about the eclairs and they were dispatched very quickly and eagerily. I had the chocolate croissant and it was definitely one of the best that i have had outside of Europe (even better than most places in NYC). The Baguette also was amazing. I will be a repeat customer for sure. We need to support local places like this. read more

Omg! The desserts are so delicious! I got a cake for a party I was going to with 3 other ppl and it was just the right amount, I also got myself a small side of the Mille feuille delicious. It was a lot crunchier than I anticipated but the cream wasn't too sweet. The coffee was good too. I came around 2:30 right before they closed so they didn't have too many options. Want to try them again. read more

Prob the best bakery option in the nearby area, although quite steep price and idk if entirely worth it for me personally. Drinks r standard. The croissants r Super buttery which ik is kind of like the point of a croissant lol but these ones were like oozingggg idk even for me who loves butter was a lot. The pastry texture itself is ok. The filling for the almond croissant is quite ungenerous was hoping there wld b more for the cost. I preferred the pain au chocolat, the chocolate inside was rich and melty. read more

Amazing Very professional people I m french and their cakes are really authentic I will go back soon read more

Stopped in for a quick coffee and dessert after lunch. A little bit pricey but quality stuff. Good coffee and the dessert was good too. The fig tart was visually appealing and tasted great. The almond croissant was light and buttery. If I'm in the neighborhood I would certainly stop by again. You should check them out. ENJOY!!! read more

Fantastique!! Fleur de Sel is what Chatham has been missing! A lover of authentic French patisserie, I was delighted when I heard this establishment opened amidst COVID-19. The space is tastefully decorated - modern- rustic and the owners are pleasant and attentive to their customers. Now to the pastries...a wonderful selection and on point in terms of quality and authenticity. Whether it be something as simple as their butter croissant or something more delectable like their chocolate hazelnut praline or their lemon meringue tarte, Fleur de Sel does not disappoint! I highly recommend! read more

The staff here is so sweet! We came in basically at closing time to order lattes and some desserts while waiting for the train (NJ transit is a few minutes away, extremely convenient). Can't speak to the food but the latte was good and fast! read more

Handsdown the best bakery I have ever been to. Their product is consistently amazing, and you can taste the quality and love they put into everything. Today I went in to pick up a Three Chocolate Mousse cake for Mother's Day. To say it was sublime is a major understatement. Rich and light at the same time, and sweet without going overboard. A simply perfect cake in my opinion. As I said earlier, everything Fleur de Sel makes is excellent, but some standouts are their chocolate chip cookies, macarons (especially lavender), eclairs, sable cookies, and croissants. I never liked croissants before I tried the za'atar croissant here, and now my life is totally changed. Amazing baking and pastry all around. The staff and owner are amazing as well, always quick to greet and help, it's really nice to be recognized as a regular and build that relationship with this lovely business and the people who make it happen. read more

Wow. Excellent tarts- big fan of the raspberry chocolate, halva, caramel.. everything looked delicious in the case. They also have coffee and savory options. read more

This is by far the best bakery in NJ - and the best we've found in the tristate area. The croissants (plain, almond and chocolate) are delicious and well laminated. The bread tastes great and if timed right may still be warm coming out of the oven! They make great sandwiches and the pastries are fabulous. The owner is so very kind and works hard to offer high end french patisserie worthy baked goods. It's a popular place - so arrive early and you may wait in line - but it's totally worth it! read more

A jewel box of a store. You almost feel like you've mistakenly walked into a high end jewelry store, the food is so vibrant and well presented. On the pricey side, but you are buying items made with care and love from the finest ingredients. read more

Fleur de Sel is a nice spot on Main Street for a quick dessert. It is a petite bakery filled with decadent goodies. All desserts were elegantly showcased and we couldn't pass up the fig tart and almond croissant. We also ordered lattes to accompany our treats. They had outdoor seating and it was a perfect day for it. The dessert was fresh, delicious and most importantly not sugary. I will definitely make a stop when I am in the area. There is so much more to try!! read more

I have always wanted to try an authentic French spot and I feel I have found it. Sure I have had French pastries but nothing to date has compared to Fleur de Sel. Brand spanking new spot in downtown Chatham. They opened during the whole craziness going on and were an immediate hit! I waited a bit for the lines to die down prior to venturing here. Glad I did. Inside there are tables set up which cannot be used and the selection, although not extensive, is delectable. I couldn't just choose one so I decided on 5 to split with family. They're popular chocolate tart, which was good, wasn't the best of the bunch. They had a chocolate banana tart which was outstanding. Another (saint honore) was this mountain of cream with mini cream puffs (with caramel) you can pluck them out with a cookie on the bottom (keep in mind everything is mini so I am exaggerating). That my friends was the best. We also had a lemon meringue mini pie which was not too tart or sweet. Amazing. Last we had a Mille Feuille - which was sort of an Italian Neapolitan with chocolate and vanilla inside. Difficult to eat as the crust was super hard. My apologies if I misspelled any pastries. Besides it being delicious their prices are on the higher side. $26 for the 5 of them. I wouldn't let that stop you! They also have freshly brewed coffees and croissants and other breakfast breads. Stop by, pick some up and enjoy! read more

Went there today with the wife and baby. I had the nitro cold brew, the wife had a hot chocolate with oat milk. We all shared a chocolate croissant. Just wow. The nitro cold brew had me going all day, and the croissant was perfect. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Will definitely come back! Saw a few people leave with a loaf of bread. May go back just for that. read more

I have been waiting for a place like this to open up in Chatham... and it is everything I could hope for and more! We have been there three times since opening and have never been disappointed. Between myself, my husband, our three children, my parents, and my brother we have had an embarrassing amount of pastries and all were delicious!! read more

Fleur de Sel - Chocolate hazelnut cake - Bakeries Near Me - Chatham, New Jersey

I guess I expected a full blown bakery. When we went. Be prepared to wait in line or call your order in if possible. I tasted the raspberry cookie and the rum cake both are good. I wanted an almond croissant, and brioche loaf but was disappointed to know they don't bake anything there. They bring stuff in from who knows where? To just sell it there. I wanted to smell the bread baking but no. All hype. Go to maybe order for catering? Maybe a first date impression I guess? Other stuff was bland at best I was thinking oh this will be good but no. I'll order a rum cake and some raspberry cookies maybe once a year for when family friends come up to visit but that's it. You'll get more flavor from Scoops ice cream up the road. Sorry I had high expectations and I was disappointed after first bite. Go at your own risk don't expect much, Anonymous read more

Wow, that was exactly what I wanted! I recently started working nearby and I love local food. First, upon walking in, I knew this place was the real deal. Everything looked so artistic and beautiful I had to ask for a tour of the delicacies. The woman behind the counter was kind enough to walk me through their entire selection and at no point did I feel like I was bothering her. I opted for the Chocolate Ganache Tart (as a true chocolate lover) and it was delicious. Not overly sweet, in no way overpowering...just solid. I washed it down with a double shot of espresso which, let's just say, did the trick. Highly recommend. I almost wish it was less great so I don't go there all the time! read more

Patricia the owner is a darling, and her creations are exceptional! I've been a couple of times already, and try different things from croissants to passion fruit mousse and get transported to France every time. And love the authentic cappuccino to go with it :). Much needed in Moris County a french patisserie. You will not be disappointed with Fleur de Sel. read more

Overall, this place is excellent. I usually work there for most of the day, 2-3 days a week, when working from home. Their food is homemade, so they can run out of things towards the end of the day, but they tend to always have baguettes, croissants, macrons, and a variety of cakes throughout. They also have amazing sandwiches and salads. The service is excellent. I noticed older reviews noted that the staff is unfriendly and one person said they struggled entering the store with a stroller, while employees stood behind the counter. The owner must have seen this, because anytime someone comes in with a stroller, an employee will run out from behind the counter and get the door for them. They are also just really nice when taking your order and talk to people when waiting for an order, or ask how the food is. They also make sure everything is clean and will reset tables after someone leaves. The owner is extremely nice and friendly. I can't recommend this place enough. There are tons of coffee shops in this area, but this one is truly different and worth trying. read more

Never enough pastries, seems they are always worried about costs and leftovers. How do you run out of croissants every day by 10:30? Go somewhere else, Liv Breads!! read more

Have been here twice in the last few weeks. We first tried the macarons which were excellent and reminded us of the ones we have in Paris years ago. Second trip we pre ordered a chocolate hazelnut praline cake. The cake was out of this world. It was one of the best cakes we ever had. They are peanut free BUT NOT nut free . This helped us with a family allergy. We can't wait to go back and try croissants and other items. The owner Patricia and staff were very sweet and helpful in helping make choices. Please go support this patisserie and bistro! read more

Fleur de Sel's offerings of beautifully crafted breakfast treats, elegant desserts and an array of coffees and teas are a trip to Paris without the travel time but it is the warm and welcoming owner and staff that keep us coming back. The perfect place to recharge or to just enjoy a leisurely break at one of the sidewalk tables with a good friend. read more

Fleur de Sel offers some of the best cakes, tartes and croissants in New Jersey. I've tried about 6 different flavors and they all transported me to the bakeries I've visited in Lyon and Paris. This place is a must try for those who are looking for delicacy and finesse in their desserts and pastries. Worth the trip! read more

Une pâtisserie française authentique à Chatham! What a treat! I am French and have been desperately looking for a decent croissant in the area for years. I am happy to report that I finally found a croissant that rivals some of the best I've ever had, and best of all it's in Chatham! Warm, flaky, buttery goodness... Since this weekend is mother s day, we also indulged in macaroons, lemon meringue, eclairs and chocolate/hazelnut pastries, and all were delicious. Fleur de Sel is a gem for all who enjoy fine, authentic French pastries. I highly recommend it. In regards to another review by a disappointed customer, note that this is NOT a bakery but a patisserie, or pastry shop. In France, pastries and breads are often sold in separate, specialty establishments. Fleur de Sel is à Pâtisserie; patrons should not expect to find bread there. Also, their croissants and viennoiseries are baked on the premises by a pastry chef. read more
