A Saturday morning drive turned into a GREAT find. La Delicious Bread is not only a beautiful and inviting shop it is WONDERFUL! We enjoyed cups of hot Vietnamese coffee...strong and sweet. The Almond croissants were some of the best we've had. They were fresh, flavorful and full of almonds. The chocolate croissants were delectable. The spinach croissant was fresh and savory. They have sooooo many options for sweet or savory. I look forward to returning not just for the croissants and coffee but giving the Banh Mi a try. I've heard good things from friends who have visited. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch. We split the House Bahn mi sandwich and a mango smoothie. The sandwich was tasty and half was more than enough. The smoothie was awesome, also. read more

This little shop was packed with so much sweetness! Good selection of patisseries, baked items and also bahn mi sandwiches. For this visit, I mainly went for the baguettes and patisserie. The baguettes was ok, definitely not my favorite French baguette but they had a buy 2 deal on Sunday when I went. I also had the strawberry croissant, my favorite from here. Inside had very limited seating and space to wait for your orders. It can get crowded if there are a lot of people. Although I do like the ambience with the French music and wallpapers with the Eiffel Tower. I did felt like I was in a French bakery hehe. Parking was not bad, I wouldn't say very big but depends on the crowd I supposed. read more

The store was clean and not busy. I ordered the tirimus and banana chocolate croissant. I did not finish the tirimus because it didn't really have a tirimus flavor. The banana chocolate croissant was good. I also order a white chocolate mocha coffee, and you really didn't taste the white chocolate. There were tables to sit at and dine in if you wanted to. Would go again, but try other things. Price was reasonable. read more

Great little bakery with an abundance of sweet pastries, breads, Bahn-mi sandwiches, croissants, and bubble teas are just some of the items this bakery has. There is plenty of parking but plan on getting your treats to go as there is only seating for 10 people at best. Me and some friends took our treats to a coffee shop and ate them while drinking the other establishment's wonderful beverages. The pastries at this bakery were so good and the service was fast. They are definitely a popular place from all the people coming to get take out orders while we waited for ours. read more

This place is undeniably one of the best bakeries in the Twin Cities. They have a drive through! Everything I've had from the strawberry croissant (topped with fresh strawberries!!!) to the bacon croissant to the apple turnover to the cherry danish has rocked my world. The quality of these pastries is unmatched- it truly feels like being transported overseas at a small café in France every time. 10/10 and 5 stars- bravo! read more

I tried the spinach croissant, strawberry croissant, and taro exotic croissant. They were buttery, flakey, fluffy, and delicious! Thai tea and coffee were good too. The cashier was friendly and wait time for my order was short. I highly recommend because I didn't know there were any good bakeries around me until now! read more

I'm disappointed of how the the banh mi and pastries turned out. Although the banh mi looked appealing and tasty it was the exact opposite. The bread was hard like a hockey puck, I'm not sure if that was "fresh bread" because it definitely was not. It was more like a day old bread. The sandwich was soggy from the daikon & carrot not drained properly and there was WAY too much mayonnaise 1/5. Their exotic pastries were not bad but really lackluster. My partner got the exotic matcha but lacked the matcha part of it 1/5. I got the exotic coconut but did not taste like coconut but more like a custard exotic croissant 1/5. I do like how the pastries turned out but please pay more attention to taste as well. I do want to come back but after this experience I may not come back to this place. read more

It took me three tries to get the banh mi sandwich. The first two times they were out of bread. The sandwiches are good sandwiches but are they the best banh mi I've had or traditional, no. That being said they are still good. Here are my things about the sandwiches. The bread is very good that part I loved. The house banh mi was good but lacked some flavor it needed more spicy mayo or something. The lamb is spicy and is lamb sausage. The menu does not say that. As someone who doesn't eat sausage this was hard to get myself to forget while eating, I wish it was stated somewhere. That being said I like the lamb one more because it had more flavor. I actually had to take the jalapeños off the sandwiches because they were too overpowering. Normally on a banh mi they are little circle piece. That was not the case here. They are cut in large strips seeds and all. I love jalapeño too but it was too much. Overall I did like everything I had and would recommend someone try them but don't be too surprised if they are out of bread. read more

I reviewed the recommendations and decided to order a baguette, an apricot croissant and a leek croissant. The baguette was mishaped, the crimp was less than acceptable and the crust was mushy, and hardened by the end of the day. Both croissants were mediocre in taste and texture and the leek croissants was only in name. There are several outstanding French bakeries in my neighborhood. Mar Hue being one them. I am happy to pay but I expect to be whoaed. This was not "whoa" moment. But $16.50 including a surchage for using a credit card for less than mediocre products is outlandish. There is a lot of room for improvement if they want to stay in business, . read more

Exotic croissants were exactly what I wanted it to be, full of textures; a crunchy exterior with soft layers inside. I was afraid it would be a heap of filling but it's the perfect portion. I highly recommend the Nutella! If you plan to visit it does have seating but it's not very inviting, quite basic. I grabbed my pastries and took them to go although I had planned to work on my laptop and enjoy the space. read more

La Delicious Bread - Exotic Croissant: Nutella, Mango and Coconut - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Maplewood, Minnesota

This newer spot is in the old Tim Hortons building. It shares the building with Jets Pizza. It is cleverly painted/decorated as a French patisserie/boulangerie/viennoiserie. Freshly baked breads, pastries, cakes, sandwiches, crepes (crepes are served after 9am). Need something to drink? I had the latte (a steal at $3.80) and my friend had the mango smoothie ($5.49) that she loved! The hardest thing was deciding what I was going to have for my LDB breakfast. My smart friend chose the Spinach Croissant ($5.99) which was flaky and deliciously flavored. I had the Strawberry Napoleon (yes-I can't pass up a Napoleon). It was better that I had anticipated (and that is saying a LOT). I bought Meringue cookies, macarons, and a lemon tart ($4.99) to go. They also have a surcharge if you use a credit card (3.95%) if you do not use cash. read more

All croissant are excellent. Most French pastry are delicious. I grew up in a French speaking countries with French pastry so I know what I'm talking about. Parking is actively easy and this place gets very busy on Saturday morning all day you can see cars in and out and there's always a line of one or two persons in front of us because people know this is the place to be to eat French pastry. It's not cheap but most items are worth the money. It's close to A cub food store as well as two Highway 36. I'd go there every weekend if it was closer to me. I never tried their Banh Mì. I will add it to my list. The place is cute and the young ladies are very polite and professional. Good customer service and decent menu. read more

The bakery looks good, but the baguettes are very chewy and difficult to eat. I am not going back.

After many many trips to the Twin Cities, I can't believe my friends have never taken me to this spot! Down in Kansas City, there are not too many (if any at all) unique pastry shops like this one here. I envy at the fact that anyone living close by can just run up and grab a Crème Brûlée at any time. Located in a Cubs supermarket parking lot, it's very easy to miss so keep your eyes peeled! Coming into the shop, I had high hopes because my friends had been "hyping" this place up to me for the last couple of months since my last visit. Let me just say, it definitely lived up to the hype! The two items I had ordered (Crème Brûlée & Chocolate Mousse Cake) were delicious! However, going with a large party, I got to sample a TON of other pastries and treats as well and EVERYTHING was fantastic. The pastries were fluffy, the cakes were rich and the creams were creamy! Not to mention, the owner and rest of the staff greeted us with a warm welcome and a thankful goodbye! If you're ever in the Twin Cities, especially on the Saint Paul side, I'd definitely recommend this place as it will NOT be my last visit here! Next time, I'm ordering down the menu! Also, to my fellow Hmong community, this business is Hmong owned, so please consider coming out and supporting! It's always a joy to see our community thriving and doing great business! read more

The Bahn mi sandwich. The bread was extremely difficult to bite into and chew. Unfortunately, the pork must've been old. I had a little bit of mostly the inside of one side and ended up with diarrhea. The pork did have both a dark and a slightly lighter gray color to it and actually smelt bad after I got it. I thought someone passed gas in the store. It was my sandwich.. the strawberry with the coating around the outside of it tasted rancid I put that out for the animals as well as the sandwich. The animals didn't eat the bread either. They only ate the meat and left the bread and vegetables. read more

Tried out La Delicious for the first time the other day and let me tell you, it really lives up to its name. Looks like Marc Heu Pastries now has a competitor. I had to try their Vietnamese french sandwich too and that homemade pate and fresh bread is soooo good. The sandwich is a little costly but worth it. Go give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Amazing! Their almond croissants are the best and be sure to check out their specialty ones!

The service was good and quick, ambiance was really friendly but it was packed as the waiting/order area is also the cafe area so it was a bit small and limited seating. The Thai coffee was strong and had a good flavor one of my favorites, but unfortunately the matcha drink was straight up milk and too sugary for my liking there was nothing matcha about it but it was probably more of a boba drink not a regular matcha drink, wouldn't get that again. The pastry was amazing my husband got the double chocolate and banana chocolate which was really good personally I'm not a huge chocolate fan but he absolutely loved it , the banana one was great as well the outside was crispy and the inside was soft and had banana filling inside. They called this little croissant matcha an exotic pastry , I loved the creamy matcha inside it was perfect and had enough filling. Overall I would definitely come back for the pastries, as they were amazing. read more

Okay. What can I say? This place has amazing Bahn Mi sandwiches! I sent my husband to pick up some sandwiches because I heard a lot of great things about this place. It just opened and had been packed with people since the grand opening. My husband went on a Tuesday around 11:30am and he said there was no one there, so the hype must've died down a bit or he went before/after the rush. We got "The House" sandwich. Everything was house made. The bread was fresh, pate was amazing, and the pickled veggies were also good. What sealed it was the BAGUETTE! The bread was soooo good! When I took a bite, there was a good crunch, and the insides soft. The bread was amazing and I'm actually craving it again while I write this review. Must try!! read more

I went here during lunch hour and saw that the drive-thru and physical line outside their door was pretty long but decided to wait anyway to support a new business. The wait was definitely worth it as I was greeted with very kind employees with great customer service. The owner even handed out free bread for the folx who've been waiting. I got the house special banh mi which was pretty good. For my fellow Vietnamese, if you're expecting a classic banh mi, know that this is technically fusion food as it's made with a french baguette instead of Vietnamese-style baguette and instead of butter, they use a spicy mayo. But these differences didn't take away from what a banh mi should taste like, so I applaud these small changes as it provides a new experience. For pastries, they were running pretty low by the time we got there, but I managed to get my hands on some raisin croissants, an eclair, a fruit tart, tiramisu, and some cream pastry puffs. I haven't tried everything yet, but the banh mi, raisin croissants, and cream pastry puffs were great! Also the two 1-star reviews are from San Francisco...? Don't believe them and try it out for yourself. Definitely give them a chance at least once and support a small family-owned business. read more

Husband woke me up at 5 am because he said they run out of the good stuff by 10. I was up til midnight the night before due to a bad back and my ongoing insomnia. However to please my husband I begrudgingly drag myself out of bed took a quick shower did my makeup and off we go. We made the 1.5 hour trip to the cities. When we arrived it was around 6:30-7. There were no lines- good I wasn't in a good mood for waiting anyways. We were greeted right away. They assisted us by letting us know about their goods. Service....... 10/10. We got the house bahn mi........... 3/5 Almond croissant......... 5/5 and my favorite Chocolate croissant.....4/5 Fruit tart......3/5 Tirimisu..... Haven't try it because they didn't give me utensils Paris brest.....3/5 Au lait coffee....3/5 Yah we got alot. We tried almost everything and quite honestly they're pretty good but not the best I've had. So is it worth getting up at 5 am, drive 1.5 hours, and spending $45.00? Heck yeah.... Because now I know that it's ok but not the greatest. read more

Wow!~What a find. We were passing through Maplewood and happened upon this place. Not the most inventive name, but the food and pastries are superb! I had a bahn mi sandwich that was perfectly prepared and yes, delicious. My wife just had a baguette (huge). But we couldn't leave without trying the pastries (three in total) and all were spectacular. My only wish is that we lived closer--or perhaps they will open additional locations (South Metro, please!). The murals on the walls are beautiful, and along with the music and French news feed on the TV, could make you feel like you were in Paris. read more

The owner is passionate about about her craft.. making bread... it shows in the end product. Not only are the baked goods a carb addicts dream.. the extra bonus is the service by the owner personally! She is absolutely from France with a heavy accent.. and very unexpected coming from a person who is of Asian descent. It was a refreshing visit of tastes and smells. It's easy to spend a few hundred here and it's busy early in the mornings. They do close early and run out of breads early on weekends. Make sure you come by and try this locally owned bakery. You won't regret it! Its a must try for all carb lovers. Please note.. there have been some terrible reviews who came and expected authentic French baked goods. This is more of an Asian twist to the French bakery. You will be disappointed if you are looking for French men behind the counter. The French dominated se Asia for a long time.. we picked up a few things... just saying. read more

When I first tried out this place last month, I found out that it was limited to what was available but got a sandwich and fruit tart. The next visit, I went at opening hour but still just started baking the raisin, chocolate, and almond croissants. The final visit, I got all 3 croissants but was underwhelmed. Overall, this is a new bakery so still working out the kinks with availability. Due to the multiple visits, it was a little bit disappointing since only could try a few things at a time. My recommendation is to try elsewhere like the Trung Nam French Bakery on University Ave where availability is not an issue. Plus, the baked goods are not too overly sweet and buttery compared to here. Overall, prices are higher than Trung Nam French Bakery and a little more drinks available. The only thing I would recommend here would be the baguette and fruit tart which is unique here. read more

Super bakery and coffee. I can't believe we have such a amazing place to get crème brûlée, flans , tarts and croissants to die for. The house ban mi is absolutely delicious for hearty lunch or dinner. This place is super clean, highly professional and service is top notch . Can't say enough how proud we are to have them in our area read more

I confess ... one of my biggest peeves about artisan breads (especially croissants) is over baking until they are a dark brown. In France they are usually baked to a nice golden to light brown or a medium brown for some breads. We tried several items from La Delicious Bread. House Bahn Mi - best I have ever tried. The bread was a little chewy and would have been tough had the sandwich lasted until the end of the day. It was a large sandwich but I ate every last bite. The pate was excellent. Cream puff - the size of a golf ball with a bit of custard inside. Very bready and not much flavor. Pass. Chocolate Eclair - long and skinny. The filling was excellent but still a lot of pastry without much filling. Patrick's is still the standard for eclairs. Croissants - very over-baked and dark brown. The ends were way too tough to eat. We all agreed that Trung Nam is superior (although they need more filling). It was hard to get past the tough exterior. More lightly baked the almond croissant could have been exceptional. The regular croissant was also over-baked. Raisin Roll - dry with dry raisins I will rate them 3 1/2 and I rounded up to 4 since the service was exceptional. The drive thru was quick. read more

Awesome bakery!!! The croissants are absolutely delicious, I regret not trying this place sooner. Staff was awesome as well!

We had guests from France, and we took them on a tour of the Twin Cities' French bakeries. This one gets a special review. We were served leftovers at that bakery. The staff was extremely unkind. She recommended the almond croissant because it's their best-selling item. We got quite a few. Some of which were old and had been over dusted with powdered sugar to conceal how overdue they were. The croissants tasted dry and old, no amount of almond filling could save the croissant. I blame the chefs for training their staff to deceive and selling leftovers to customers at premium price, and making them believe selling leftovers to customers is standard to the industry, it's not. Overpriced products! Fruit tarts tasted like store-bought tart shells with chemically low-quality imitation vanilla pastry cream mix. The double chocolate croissants were the worst we ever had, ugly, doughy, unbalanced flavors and no alveoli, a mess. Max up card fee for customers who pay with cards. If you're gone charged customers for everything and to the best of your ability, and overly priced your items, you better make sure to sell homemade fresh high-quality products and not some failed croissants or some leftover or some ready to bake and ready to use products. It fell so far below our expectations. The 2 next French bakeries did better and the staff were more professional and more than kind. read more

Came here for the first time a few days ago and got a few of the desserts from their pastry case. Would recommend the large raspberry macaron -- the macaron cookie was chewy and fresh, and the filling was not overly heavy. Would not, however, recommend the chocolate mousse. It was way too sweet and I couldn't finish the entire thing in one sitting because of how sweet it was. They also have day-old baguettes that I'd recommend getting since they're cheaper and you can take them home to rebake or make into bruschetta (my personal fave)! Prices are reasonable and they have a parking lot out front. read more

Fantastic pastries brought to us by French pâtissiers moved to Minnesota. The dry and especially cold pastries, apple tart, pear tart, éclairs are the way they're supposed to be. The baguettes are very good as well, and the day-old ones are a great deal, becoming excellent press-grilled sandwiches, or paninis. The personnel is obliging and quick, and make sure you engage the owners if you see them, and practice your French. Roseville is slowly becoming a foodie destination with Baldamar, Tapatia, and now this pastry shop. read more

When I lived in California, one of my favorite things was the Vietnamese/French bakeries that were in our area. Truly they were out of this world. When I found out that the Tim Hortons down the street was turning into a Vietnamese/French bakery I was thrilled! We have only done to go via the drive through (pandemic life), so I can't comment on the inside of the space. The food we have had is excellent though. The croissants were buttery and so flaky. You could tell that it was clearly home made. I can't wait to explore what other delicious baked goods they have to offer. We have also tried their bahn mis. A bahn mi is a Vietnamese sandwich. I can't speak to the authenticity of them, but I have to say these were some of the best bahn mis I've had. I'm not a big pate fan, but even I was shoveling this into my mouth. It had so many different but complimentary flavors. Definitely a nice change of pace from my typical sandwiches. They are also HUGE. I think I ate half and saved half for later. Phew. I'm so happy to see something so delicious replace a big chain. I hope they do well! read more

Brandon also did extensive credential training in Paris at the acclaimed international baking school, Ecole Boulangerie de Paris (EBP).and experienced in both Paris and US Bakeries.
