I discovered La Pâtisserie after exiting from Gold's gym on Burnet Road. It is a very small bakery with limited seating. However, it is feel with the typical suspects for a French bakery...croissants, macaroons, and other sweet treats. While I did not have any, they also serve coffee. I bought a chocolate croissant...touted as one of their popular selections and banana nut bread an equally delicious choice. The chocolate croissant was crisp, buttery, and layered, with a rich but balanced chocolate filling. Although heated, it wasn't warm, and the chocolate was overwhelming...half of the chocolate could have been removed. The banana nut bread stands out...moist, tender, with authentic banana flavor and nuts throughout for extra texture. I highly recommend it. The bakery vibe was charming with a neighborhood feel. My server was welcoming and friendly. Prices were reasonable and competitive with other bakeries. Also, there was ample free parking. read more

I liked my gluten free cranberry scone. I thought it was soft, moist, and not crumbly. I bought two macarons for my husband and he said it upset his stomach. Maybe I was supposed to refrigerate it overnight because it contained cream? read more

I had a random craving for something sweet from a bakery yesterday. This little spot knocked it out of the park. Easy to get in and out of and service with a smile! I had an almond croissant and a honey lemon macaron. The croissant was all you'd ever want...flakey, light, perfect almond flavor, and dusted with delicious powdered sugar...quite messy and perfect. Now...the macaron... I'll say this, my palette is not well versed in macarons, so someone that has had them in the finest places in France might disagree, but this macaron was unlike anything I'd ever had before and in a good way. Quite different... it was more dense than what I'm used to, but it was the most fantastic flavor I've ever had in a macaron! So very tasty. I will be back to try another kind. Maybe I should walk there next time though...frequently stopping at this place would definitely pack on the LBS. read more

Had a latte and a piece of cake. The chocolate noir I think it was called. Looked a little bit like a kalterhund. It was amazing, possibly the best piece of cake I've ever had. read more

Bumping my rating for the novelty of their selection, the frequency and variety of the items they rotate stands out, even among french bakeries. Last time I visited, they had a few mini tarts--one was fig! My favorite peanut butter cookie in Austin and a once in a blue moon goat-cheese quiche sighting are enough to draw me back regularly. For the "regular" bread stuffs, croissants, muffins, etc., I prefer to go elsewhere with two exceptions: Their morning bun is thick and hearty (not just sugary air). I also like their dry-style croissant sandwiches, and I'm glad that they regularly offer one without ham. Used to get their turkey one whenever they had it, and I liked the pesto one they had for a bit during the summer. Will continue to patron. It's easy to park, and the shopping center has plenty of food-food options if I want to pickup something savory to go the sweets. Looking forward to the next day I see "goat cheese" in the case again. :) Glad this place has weathered the years. read more

Went on Saturday for some pastry's and they were delicious. Every bite was crunchy and filled with flavor. Their pastry case is filled to the brim with yummy looking pastries. The waitress was very sweet and helped us find the best options, she was even ready to make substitutions if we needed. The restaurant is well placed in the domain so the scenery is gorgeous! Great for people watching or good conversations. read more

Ever since I heard about Cronuts (A cross between a croissant and a donut) being trendy due to a new york pastry shop making them viral I've always wanted to have something similar- But I knew they had become patented. After digging around for a while this pastry shop off Burnet popped up as potentially having a take on the idea, but with their own twist- Called the Crobrio (Croissant+Donut+Brioche?) I won't lie, it's absolutely devastating how good this thing is. Imagine a donut with fluffy, buttery layers inside coupled with a decadent vanilla cream filling...And not the cheap kind mind you, proper European style with the rich yellow color. Any time I'm in the area I have to stop and get one with an iced tea. I would absolutely five star this place if it wasn't so pricey, but at the same time I do realize the amount of work that probably goes into making desserts this complex needs to be priced in. I've tried their other pastries as well and they are excellent. Croissants, eclairs, savory croissants as well. It's a higher caliber pastry so expect to pay a little more for them, but it's worth it for me! Probably one of the best European style pastry shops in Austin, 4.5 . read more

We got there in the afternoon, between 2-3, my friend wanted dessert. There was nothing left they said. The cases were basically empty, with a couple of items left. Bakery with no cake, pastries...etc. Really disappointing! read more

We were greeted immediately when entering the shop in the early afternoon. There were a selection of pastries, but our focus was on the macarons. They are mine and my son's favorite. So much so that they are what he requested as a souvenir when I went to Paris. These macarons rivaled the ones I enjoyed in Paris. The cookie is crisp on the outside and tender inside, and the filling is smooth and creamy. We enjoyed all of the flavors we purchased: rose, orange cardamom, lavender, and lemon honey. I highly recommend. read more

La Patisserie - Interior - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Plenty of reviews about this place, but I thought I'd add a couple things others didn't. First of all, there's lots of parking, however, their hours are 8 AM till 5 PM every day which means if you're looking for something on a very early commute, you're better off at a convenience store. You could also go to Lonestar kolaches just a few blocks away on Anderson Lane since they open at 5:30 AM. Like any bakery, it's best to get there early for a better selection. I got there after 2 PM on a Saturday and there wasn't much left, but I did pick up some blueberry muffins ($4.50 ea). The interior of this place is very small (smaller than the width of a bus). with only a couple spots to sit at and I did not see a public bathroom. The croissants are very good and you can get them with chocolate inside or baked with turkey and cheese (along with other variations). I did not spot any kolaches or breakfast sandwiches. However, if you go to their website, you can order specially made cakes and other items including quiche items. One thing I did not spot was a menu on the wall, or any prices on the items in the display case. They at least have a coffee menu on the wall. After your goods are bagged up, and it's time to settle up with a credit card, yes, that tip screen will be waiting. read more

Seriously the best bakery in town! They always have a great variety of baked goods to choose from. The macarons are the best here cooked to perfection. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. We love coming here on the weekend. read more

Yikes! Truly one of the worst places in Austin. Went in around noon on a Sunday. There's not a lot in the display so we picked a slice of funfetti cake for $6.50 and pumpkin spice Eclair for $4.25. It's pretty pricey. We took one look at the macaroons and they did not look to appetizing. My wife called it at the time without even buying that this looks pretty old and stale. We bought the food and went into the car. This is really for the kid and he took one bite and he said it's yucky. So we tried it and he was right! It was so stale! The frosting is all hard and you can just tell from the picture that it's really old and stale and just not appetizing at all and so we ended up having to throw it away. How do you serve something this old at this price, is there no quality control? The pumpkin spice Eclair, while not stale, was not particularly good. The bread was too dense and hard and the cream wasn't particularly tasty so all. Overall, it was just a very disappointing experience. I don't know why this place would exist with so many other great things in the surrounding area. It just feels mismatched and we definitely wouldn't come back and would advise you the same. read more

La Patisserie - Stale and absolutely disgusting. Only fit for the trash bin. - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

One day I had a SERIOUS hankering for a cronut and La Pâtisserie came through for me. What they have is actually called a CroBrio and is like a cronut with a filing in the middle. DELICIOUS!! It was so good, they had plenty on a Saturday morning around 9am, and the lady at the register was so nice. I also tried a big fluffy chocolate croissant which was delicious. The pastries were 5/5 on flavor and quality. The crobrio was a little small but actually felt like the perfect little treat to satisfy my craving. They also have macaroons, coffee and other pastries as well. A bit on the pricy side but it's a quality pastry in Austin, so still worth it. The location is small but mighty (but I can see how they could easily run out on a busy day). read more

La Patisserie - CroBrio - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Walked into this bakery on a Sunday morning! It was full of fresh macarons, croissants, and other classic French pastries. Initially, I was so excited! I tried the five different macarons: which were all just okay. The orange and rose flavors were the better of the bunch, but I was disappointed in the price and texture of the macarons. Each macaron is $2.50, which is expensive. On that, they were not crispy on the outside or chewy inside. It was more bready in texture. Will come back to try different pastries and hope for better quality!! read more

I went for my birthday to get pastries and coffee. The place was so dirty, no way it meets health code -- the ceiling, floors, counters were all very dirty. We ordered an italian soda and she mixed it with her fingers in the drink with no glove, and the milk was curdled. Then we got a croissant knot with cream cheese on top and there was hair in the cream cheese. When we brought the hair to her attention she asked if we would like another -- this should not have been a question, it should've been a "please let me get you another and I'll refund your money back I'm so sorry". Do not recommend this place. read more

Will not go back! I have a $50 giftcard that I received and they would not honor it because they said they changed ownership. However, they are still operating as if they are the same business with the same logo and business name. Then I asked if I could talk to a manager and then they made me wait 20 minutes then said they were too busy to talk to me and had me leave my name and number on a napkin with a dry erase expo marker. I cannot believe how this was handled. This was at the burnet location. read more

The service wanted to be good but it just wasn't. There was no one in there except for us and it took a very long time to get our coffee and pastries. (One of the coffees was the Vietnamese coffee which is premade) I'm not being a Karen, it literally took 20 minutes to get one latte and a Vietnamese and a few pastries. And then didn't even get all of the pastries we ordered. Can't recommend this place unfortunately. read more

If you're looking for stale and refrigerator cold pastries, this is the place and bonus, they're pretty expensive too! We have been to there downtown/south location, but for the burnet location, this was our first visit and definitely the last one! I preordered yesterday for picking up today, in the order it says, we get a mail when the order is ready but you don't get mail nor there phones work! Lady at the front counter told, she'll call here associate as she's the one who put my order together, and associate hadn't put my order together yet and it was past my pick up time as I was waiting for my pickup mail. so then they took a cheap paper bag and dumped everything together other than cream puff (Kouign amann, beignet, pecan maple morning bun and crobrios) and handed me over saying, it's all sugar, what an enlightening! Oh god! All the pastries were cold as if took it out from the refrigerator. So had to warm them up in oven ourselves! Cream puff: i felt, it was not a day old, it's days old, me and my kiddo took a bite and spit it out before swallowing, it was old, stale and such a strong strong smell of eggs. Beignets: honestly it looked like beignets, but it dint taste like one and god knows what it is, I wasn't expecting the beignets you get in new Orleans but nor this one either! Kouign amann: it's a stale sugar caramalized edged crossaint with absolutely no crispiness what so ever. Crobrios : this was decent, but refrigerator cold, and cream wasn't filled fully, definitely not a worth $5.50 worth. Pecan maple bun: same stale, cold crossaint bun with pecans, but was eatable! So go to a grocery store and pay 1/4th of what you pay here, warm it up and definitely tastes much much better than this place! Definitely don't recommend this place to anyone! read more

This used to be my favorite bakery. I would go way out of my way to stop there for coffee and pastries. The past several times I have been the pastry selection has been very limited. They also removed any option to warm up your purchases. In addition, the staff used to be incredibly friendly, but now are extremely unhelpful and seem like they do not want to be there. Additionally, the quality and taste of the coffee has greatly declined. Items there are pricey, and used to be worth it, but due to limited choice, poorly crafted coffee, and unpleasant service, I'll be taking my business somewhere else. read more

Great place to pick up some macarons. I got a 6-pack to have some variety and was fairly pleased with all of the macarons. I only wish that the chocolate was available as they were still waiting on it to finish cooling. The lemon was a tad too lemony for me but I'm sure a big lemon fan wouldn't mind it. Overall soft, slightly chewy, and was still good after being in the fridge for a couple days. read more

I recently tried the chocolate crobrios, which is a donut made with croissant and brioche dough, filled with vanilla bean pastry cream, and covered in chocolate. I'm obsessed! This was such a unique pastry. Their macarons are yummy too. I especially enjoyed the dark orange one which I believe was their salted caramel flavor. It tasted just like brown butter. read more

This location is their main kitchen. There's a lot of variety beyond macarons (of which there are many options too). On their regular menu, they have 6 types of croissants, several cakes sold by the slice, a few tarts (pies) and of course, beverages. I was surprised by the gluten-free options - hazelnut cake, scone, etc. I tried the gluten-free cranberry scone but their gluten-free flour has that after taste/ texture of the bitter sawdust that early gluten-free flours used to have but thankfully, the industry has since innovated to improve upon it so substantially that you often can't tell the difference between gluten-free and regular flour. Here, that difference still stands out loud and clear, unfortunately. read more

Service was great. The pastry was dry. Would not be back. The barista suggested the eclair over another pastry saying she preferred it. I didn't eat it, it was so dry. Just scooped out the cream filling. The cappuccino was ok, but I was there for the pastries and would not go back just for coffee. The location is ok, inside is small, tidy. 2 tables outside, but you're looking at the parking lot. There are so many other places to get good coffee and pastries with a better view. read more

I ordered the almond croissant, 6 macaroons and the cream puff. The cream puff and macaroons were ok, I got it delivered, it was cracked, different sizes and all kind of tasted the same except for the almond flavor which was overwhelmingly almond. It's really odd that you don't get to pick the flavors of your macaroons when you are ordering online. The almond croissant was pretty good and I had to split it up over three days, on the third day it was still pretty good when heated up. It was pretty pricey though for what I got and I wouldn't recommend the cream puff. I also got the Vietnamese coffee which was pretty good read more

I had gone here to order croissants in the past. Those were pretty good, although not the freshest I've ever tried. Since it was the end of the day, I was pretty satisfied with this. However, we recently came back to order an assortment of macaron with the intention of ordering a bunch for our wedding. Unfortunately, they were a bit of a disappointment. The shells were dense and doughy, and did not have a crisp outer shell or a delicate, chewy middle. The inside tasted very buttery, but like not much else? Like you were literally biting into a piece of sweetened butter. And as a whole, they were excessively sweet and we had a hard time identifying the flavors because the sugar was so overwhelming. We felt obligated to try a bite of each flavor-but they all tasted very similar. Macarons are not Walmart cupcakes. They should not be dense, doughy sugar bombs with a boring flavor profile, especially when you are spending $2.50 each. The pros: they are quite large and come in fun colors. We ended up going with another tastier and more affordable macaron baker. 2/5 for the sad macarons. 4/5 for the croissants. read more

I special ordered the cake pictured. The email confirmation I received when I placed the order said that I would receive another email once the cake was ready to pick up. I never received any other communication from the bakery, so I called to find out if the cake was ready when I ordered it to be, and it was. The cake was less decorated than the cake pictured on the website, so I was a bit disappointed. I emailed the shop to say that I didn't receive the product as it was represented on their website, but they never got back to me. All that said, the cake and chocolate ganache filling were delicious! The icing on the outside was not as tasty, but good. I also don't think their macarons are made well enough. read more

I came in the late afternoon after stopping at taco deli so it was fairly quiet, just how I like it. The pastry display offered a few things, but clearly they sell out fast, so the earlier the better if you want more choices. I ordered 3 macarons and they were soft and creamy, absolutely Devine! I paid about $7 for the 3 macarons, 2 vanilla and 1 salted caramel. I have eaten macarons across the USA and these are by far the best ones I've had. The good news is I now have a place for great dessert, the bad news is that I am now spoiled. There is seating inside and outside and has a quiet and peaceful ambiance to it. read more

La Patisserie - Chocolate strawberry crobrio - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had high expectations out of this place because they apparently pride themselves in their macarons, but unfortunately that is also where they fall flat. I was hoping to find the one place in Austin with really good macarons, but I was sad to find very inconsistent, bready, bumpy macarons that did not express the French finesse that I was expecting. Having made macarons myself at home and having had them in Europe, I know it is a difficult thing to do to get them perfectly right, but it is unfortunate that they were just not done right here. A macaron should be crisp outside, smooth shells, chewy inside with a perfectly stiff inside cream that doesn't all come gooping out when you bite into it. Other desserts were also okay, but I expected more. They also forgot one of the pastries we ordered which was sad to find later on. read more

First time I ~really~ tried macarons, and this place gave me a great impression of these cookies! Great price for even greater taste/quality. I love the packaging! The cookies were just the right texture and chew, not overly sweet, just right. My favorite flavors I've tried so far are funfetti, pistachio, and wild strawberry! Hoping to try more new flavors in the future! A must try! Will return soon!! read more

La Patisserie - 6-Pack Assorted Macarons (L-R: Wild Strawberry, Pistachio, Rose, Lavender, Funfetti, Vanilla) - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Who doesn't enjoy a nice piece of pastry in the morning? Whether you're in the mood for some cake or some macarons, you can find it all at La Patisserie, Austin's only authentic, from-scratch French pastry shop. With so much to choose from, I got a little bit of everything such as the: - Mint Chocolate Drip Cake (seasonal): Good tonality of richness, which has you wanting to take more bites. Not overbearing in sweetness and a good balance of chocolate and mint! - Cinnamon "CroBrio" (Croissant-Brioche Hybrid Donut filled with Vanilla Bean Pastry Cream): This one was really unique to me. I like the fusion of the two pastries in both the texture and flavor. I was hit with a surprise vanilla filling because originally I didn't know it was filled! So good though. - Orange, Honey, & Almond Bun (Seasonal): Think of this one always like a croissant. Interesting mix of sweet, tart, and nutty flavors and fun texture to bite into. - Blackberry Kouign-Amann (seasonal): This one was my favorite. Think of it as a denser version of the croissant, but filled with a blackberry jelly. - Toasted Almond Eclair: A classic! - 6 Pack Macarons (from left to right): Vanilla Bean x2, Pistachio, Bailey's Irish Cream, Mint Chip, & Lucky Charms. My favorite had to have been the Lucky Charms and that's because I'm a sucker for anything cereal. Holistically, they offer interesting flavors to choose from, so you can't go wrong with anything! All in all, you can tell how much work is put into these pastries. Not just visual or structural, but also in flavor. High quality ingredients and good balances of flavors all around. Nothing was overpowering in sweetness which was great. All in all, I was highly satisfied with what I got. read more
