I must say I am shocked that one chocolate chip cookie costs $6.50.... And looking at the ingredients there aren't even expensive upscale ingredients. It's just typical cookie ingredients. And it's also not very good. It's more cakey than gooey and soft. There were no prices listed so I didn't know how much things were.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
The pastries and desserts in this cute little establishment are out of this world! Definitely stop by and grab a macaroon!
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).
Cute little bakery with high quality pastry. My son definitely enjoyed the almond and chocolate croissants. Many varieties of macaroons are also available. Coffee is also delicious. The place is small, so seating options are limited. There is plenty of parking outside.
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!!
La patisserie has delicious French-inspired treats and is the perfect place for everything from croissants to macarons. Everything is made fresh daily! They have such a great variety of treats + pastries such as this delicious Coffee Religieuse. The puff and crème are light and airy, full of coffee flavor and just the right amount of sweetness Coffee Religieuse: Two pâte à choux filled with coffee crème Cold brew with oat milk The coffee they brew is Stumptowncoffee and their cold brew is smooth + strong. Perfect to accompany your pastry of choice *50% off all croissant items after 3pm EVERY DAY* #lapatisserieatx is open 7 days a week from 8am-5pm

I stopped by La Patisserie for a coffee on Sunday afternoon. They have a great selection of homemade pastries (we really like the chocolate croissant) and great coffee. There was only 1 person working in the front with 2 people waiting in front of me. I ordered a cold brew coffee thinking it would be faster than my normal cappuccino order. While she was doing her best, it took almost 20 minutes to get a cold brew coffee (poured from the pitcher over ice...no real-time brewing required). In between making the matcha latte and vanilla latte orders in front of me, she was stopping to take additional orders and payment from new customers. Maybe that is the system that works for her, but it seemed much less efficient. From the business perspective, it meant I waited rather than leaving since I had already paid. Two other groups of customers ordered after me, and waited at least 15 minutes for to-go pastries. Perhaps consider staffing with 2 people on the weekend. Definitely worth a visit and everything I have tried has been delicious. It just may require a bit of patience. read more
Wow what a cute cute bakery. The staff are soooooo friendly and they had great selection of baked goods. The service was amazing and prices seemed way fair for the serving size. They have a happy hour after 4pm weekdays so I will get a discounted croissant this next week!! Overall great little Austin eclectic bakery. Stop by and have a slice of cake ! read more

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

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

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

This place gets busy so be prepared for a bit of a wait when ordering, there was only guy at the front when we were there. Holysmokes! The crobrio is my new favorite thing, the chocolate glazed one was a bit too decadent for my taste but I loved the cinnamon sugar one, these are also filled! 10/10 coming back to try more of their menu! 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

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 enjoy the croissants--especially the pistachios ones. The chocolate ones are quite nice as well. The problem here is service. Every time I've come in, the employee behind the counter seems annoyed to be serving me. I want to ask, do you need to be somewhere else? They can at least pretend to give a damn about customers. 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've tried several of the pastries here, and I've never been disappointed. The crobrio is my favorite. It's super easy to order online. They do practice social distancing and since the shop is small, only a few people are allowed to go inside at one time. I placed an order the night before and was able to quickly and easily pick up my order the next morning. 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
