Maison Benoit is a lovely French bakery that you can smell from streets away in the mornings - it really makes you want a bite! Upon walking closer, you're treated to a fun view through the glass windows and partially open kitchen where you can watch many pastry chefs doing their craft, rolling out dough, measuring eggs and flour, and creating the beautiful and precise selection of baked goods available for purchase. The selection of pastries is extensive and displayed prettily in the glass containers as you come to the counter (sometimes there's a wait in line, more so because it takes customers time to decide than because the staff are slow). Cute croissants, eclairs, fruit tartes, slices of cake, quiche slices, classic French sandwiches and the like greet you and you let the staff know which and how many you'd like, which they can put in a to-go box or on nice platters for dine-in. Beware that inventory does run out later in the day so morning is the best time to go if there are specific items you'd really like! Items are also priced kind of like a fancy brunch place such as $9 for a little lemon meringue tarte or around $7 for a chocolate almond croissant a la carte. Loaves of bread are also available. We got the Breakfast Board ($12.50 - a croissant, chocolate croissant, half baguette served with honey, jam, and butter) for a sampler of the classics and passed on the coffee/tea drinks available this time. Water and utensils are self-serve, and a good amount of varied indoor and outdoor seating options were available. We noticed extra Yule Log cakes available on discount after the holidays as we made our way outside to sit in the pleasant sun. Of the Breakfast Board, our favorite was the chocolate croissant. The chocolate bars in it had good depth of flavor, so cocoa-y and not too sweet. Best of all, the edge of the croissant was so incredibly flaky and crispy, making for a wonderful bite through all the layers of pastry. Our second favorite was the baguette, which we opted to enjoy with just butter (taking the cute jam and honey jars home!) It was really good whipped butter, which when generously spread on the chewy fresh bread made for yummy bites. The exterior of the loaf was crispy crust, and the inside softer and chewier - if anything we'd prefer the baguette just a tad softer overall but perhaps that's also because it was room temperature and not warm when we ate it. Finally, the croissant was fine but did not stand out as exceptional to us. It wasn't as crispy-flaky as the chocolate croissant, but it was impressively airy and easily gobbled up. It still did leave crumbs all over. I would have preferred it to have a bit more buttery or salt flavor. Overall, a fun and authentic-seeming bakery option in Downtown Danville with lots of fans! We thought that overall it was good but not exceptional - wouldn't mind coming back, especially as a place to enjoy a coffee and pastry with a friend, but also wouldn't be craving this place or driving from far out of town just to visit. read more

Maison Benoit - Lots of freshly baked goods - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Danville, California

This is such a lovely place!! Super cute location and there's plenty of seating both inside and outside for whatever you prefer. They have so many delicious looking pastries that I just wanted them all. I got the pain suisse which I don't think I've had before, and we sat inside near the windows. It was so crispy with perfectly soft layers inside that had the classic pastry cream and chocolate pieces. The butteriness was perfect - not too overpowering but flavored the pastry really nicely. I was also eyeing the croissants but my stomach didn't have the capacity for it, so next time I'll have to try those! It's also so nice to just sit at and work or catch up with friends here. Highly recommend! read more

I was so lucky to wonder in on a Monday morning with NO LINE OUT THE DOOR. This place has the yummiest Pan Au Chocolate....it's like being in Paris. The quiche is flavorful and pairs nicely with the side salad. This visit although quick with my extra hot latte and my Pan Au Chocolate hit the spot. The staff is attentive and always smiling even when the building is packed. There is plenty of patio seating outside when the weather permits and cozy couches and tables for two. read more

Great selection of French pastries and bakery items! We got several items here: feta and spinach quiche, a baguette, pain au chocolat, Kouign-Amann, mille feuille, and an apple turnover. Everything was delicious and of high quality. The place was very busy, but service was efficient and quick. The restaurant is small, so seating is fairly limited, but outdoor seating is also available. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. read more

Just visited here the other day, and I can't wait to come back. We loved everything! It tasted so fresh! Place was clean enough. Helpful staff. It was cute and cozy. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Easy to find street parking. I think I heard their butter is imported from France! The pastry case was full of familiar things and items I personally don't see a lot of at bakeries here. So many options, there's something for everyone: sweet, savory, pastries, sandwiches, cakes, coffee. ORDER: Chocolate croissant Kougin Aman Pan Suisse Bayonne Sandwich Parisian Sandwich Iced vanilla latte with oat milk Black coffee My only issue is that the seating in some areas is too cramped and hard to get around, we were sat in the corner by the bookshelf and I'm a petite 5' gal, and felt it was a bit too cramped and not accessible for all. Even the area leading to the bathroom, not sure if someone in a wheelchair would be able to easy get around inside. read more

I love this place. The pastries are delicious, and their sandwiches and bread are great, too. They even sell a gluten free bread that is yummy. The only two drawbacks are the daily line and the fact that you have to make a choice and can't eat everything. read more

Cute French bake shop with cute vibes! Came in to pick up a few baked goods to bring to a work meeting. My favorite out of all of them was the almond croissant by far. Lots of almond paste, flakey and sticky and oh so good. The regular croissant was also really good but pretty standard. I went in on a weekday morning so it wasn't packed! read more

Oh boy, this place is trouble. I can't stop by here without indulging in all the deliciousness. First time I visited was in January 2024. Place was packed, came back a couple more times July 2025, still super long lines on the weekends, during the week, not so bad. It looks like they won the "2025 Best Croissant S.F." award. Well deserved. They make their pastries in-house, in a cute little bakery on one side of the store surrounded by glass walls which allows you to see what's cookin', and smell the delicious buttery goodness. They have a nice variety of bistro sandwiches, pastries, desserts, coffees and teas. So far my favorite is the cafe eclair - oooh la la. Makes me feel like I'm back in Paris! read more

Maison Benoit in Danville is my go to spot for cakes and pastries in the area! I've brought their St. Honoré cake to three different holiday parties, and every single time it was a showstopper. Beautiful, classic, not overly sweet, and absolutely delicious. Fair warning: mornings can be a bit chaotic, especially during busy seasons. That said, it is 100% worth the chaos. Pro tip: pre-order online and save yourself the wait! If you're looking for an elegant, crowd-pleasing cake or high quality French pastries, Maison Benoit delivers every time. read more

Beautiful pastries that taste as good as they look! I arrived on an early Monday morning and was greeted warmly. The pastry case was full of goodies. My favorites were the decadent Almond Pain au Chocolate and the Pain Suisse. I just loved the combination of chocolate and pastry cream in the Pain Suisse. It was so pretty inside. I'd love to come back and enjoy more pastries! read more

Maison Benoit has been in my Yelp bookmark for a long time. I finally got to visit on a weekday morning. Parking was easy given it was mid morning and on a weekday. However, there were only 2 to 3 spots left on the streets. Service was very good: it took me quite some time to order, as I was looking around and deciding. The lady was very very patient with me and waited for me. There was no line after me too. Ordered the Flan, Pain au chocolat, few Croissants, and the Éclair Chocolat. All taste really good: delicious yet not a tint of too sweetness. It was a very nice French Bakery, conveniently located. I love the outdoor seating area. The indoor seating area looked lovely too. Will definitely come again, sit down, and try their coffee. read more

There's a reason why they won best croissant. It was one of the lightest yet perfectly crisp croissants I've ever had well next to the ones I've eaten in Paris! I haven't found that safe taste but now I can say I have. read more

It's hard not to love this place. The place has a certain Je ne sais quoi! The plethora of pastries and desserts. Savory and sweet. All made with love and the perfect amount of French butter! I have tried numerous items and each one would be hard to say is better than the last. The croissants- flaky and buttery. The croc madame melts in your mouth. The eclairs. Macrons. Saint honore! It's like a little perfect day date in Paris if you close your eyes. read more

Amazing! Incredible! Flavorful! Delicious! I am so glad we went to Maison Benoit - the food here just made my week! I've been looking for pastries that capture the French flavors and Maison Benoit hits the mark! Their mille-feuille were heavenly! Their line goes out the door since the food is so good, but it's definitely worth the wait! Everything looked so amazing that we definitely spent more than we'd planned and took some food to go! We tried everything from the spinach and feta quiche, to the baguette (which you can get in a cloth bag), canele to the pain au chocolate and each item was incredible! We had to look to find seating but there are plenty of tables and chairs and some couches, so you're bound to find a place to sit if you look around! I can't wait until we're in the area next time and will be sure to go back! Merci beaucoup!! read more

The food is good but the croissants and baguette bread is the closest I have tasted to Paris' pastries and bread!

Had to do it. Tried the croissant and chocolate croissant based on all the recent reviews. Went on a weekday after lunch and there was no line and no crowd. Also meant the croissants weren't super fresh out of the oven, but the barista suggested I just reheat at a low temp back at home. Buttery goodness! I want to try them fresh out of the oven next time. Maybe just worth the line if they were that good reheated at home! read more

It was busy with patrons eating at cafe but ordered my 2 Pain au Chocolat to go. I had my pastry today... It was buttery and flaky but my expectations were high so I was disappointed. I will have to comeback to try the Chouquettes and/or eclairs. read more

Best spinach feta quiche I've ever had! I am use to a dry quiche but this was nice and moist and the pie crust not too thick. It came with a nice side of salad greens with a light balsamic dressing. Every bite was delicious. Had a good cold brew coffee along with it as well. read more

I consider myself as a honest consumer. This place deserve 10 stars. Service: outstanding in any category, attentive and sociable staff. There was no misunderstanding in anyways . Received our food in the best quality and shape faster than usual. Nearly a decade of tasting new foods , assured me that the quality matters in every aspect of food representing. The salmon bite that I had, consists of a piece of long baguette , cream cheese and shredded assorted greens. Naturally I am a fish lover , so interestingly this bite was above my expectations due to high level of freshness and quality. The other order was feta Spanish quash which was deliberately delicious and extraordinary in some senses. I believe this place delivers the sense and feeling of new generations of neofrench cafes in the Bay Area. Highly recommended read more

The breads are consistently amazing, 4 stars. Less impressive is the overall experience. Loud music, blowing fans and noisy patrons make shouting over the counter to the teen wait staff an exercise in frustration. On two visits items were missed or incorrectly handled. And the staff doesn't make it any easier by failing to explain anything or recap order details to check for errors. For your benefit I suggest two things, 1) tell them the number of things your going to order up front (our person ran away after each item dramatically slowing the order, making it harder to confirm the order was complete, and wasting a lot of time) and 2) ask them to recap the full order at checkout. Annoying for sure but the baked goods are very good. read more

Finally got a chance to try this place. I had recently had Brunch nearby, but needed something sweet and maybe a coffee. It still had a line at 12:30 but it was a Sunday afternoon. I kept hearing groans from customers in line that they had already ran out of Baguettes. I kept it simple and ordered a Pain Suisse and a Milk and bitter pastry. I had also ordered a Curtado. It was a short wait because they were a lot of workers and they friendly and helpful. Pastry and Curtado were delish. Most definitely gonna come back and try more pastries and Breads. Coffee and time on the patio makes it a lazy day enjoying the summer weather. read more

I wrote a review a week ago about a large poodle inside the cafe very close to where I was sitting who did not appear to be a service dog. The owner responded that the staff is trained to ask the dog owner 2 questions. That did not appear to happen while we were there (the dog was standing less than 3 feet away). But the fact that the Owner promptly responded to my review and has a plan for animals in the indoor area made me realize he really is trying to comply and do his best for everyone. I am changing my star rating to 4 stars and I wish the Owner a good day, week and year. read more

Solid place to get your French Bakery cravings satisfied, especially while staying in downtown Danville. I thought the menu, for breakfast treats, was pretty solid and tasted good. I especially thought the $12 breakfast platter (half baguette, croissant, pan au chocolat, jams, butter) was a fantastic deal. The wait was at least 20 minutes on a sunny Sunday mid-morning. Clearly, there's a very particular clientele who likes to eat here on the regular, to see and to be seen. Truth be told, I think East Bay Bakery has the better pastries. Oh gosh, I hate comparing that way, but if you're going for over-the-top tastes, go to Blackhawk. There's no seating there of course... read more

Love this place. All the food is really yum and the place is always clean and neat. People who works there is kind and helpful!

Maison Benoit is hands down one of my favorite spots for pastries and coffee absolutely worth the wait, even if it means standing in line for an hour. Their quality never disappoints. The croissants are buttery perfection, and the coffee is always smooth and flavorful. My husband is obsessed with their croque, and I personally love their quiche so rich and satisfying. I had both spinach, feta & salmon. Both were amazing. That said, during our most recent visit, I was a bit let down by the avocado toast. The bread was unfortunately burned, and for the price, I expected something a little more thoughtful. Honestly, I feel like I could've made a better version at home. Maybe adding a poached or soft-boiled egg on top would elevate it, or just a little more attention to the toast itself. Still, this place is a gem, and I'll definitely keep coming back but I'd skip the avocado toast next time. read more

Today was my first visit at the bakery. I've been on the hunt for a good croissant. It's fairly difficult to find a good one! I think I went overboard but I wasn't feeling well so I ordered a bunch of things to take home. I ordered the following: 2 x Croissants 2 x Tuscan Soups with Garlic Bread 2 x Baguette Tradition with a baguette bag 1 x Pain Au Chocolat 1 x Orange Juice 1 x Iced Tea Citrus Green, The sur le Nil - Mariage Freres It's quite a bit and I did some damage on my wallet. But I've had my eye on this place for awhile! Lets review some of the items: Croissants - Delicious! Croissant making is such an art to appreciate! I loved it! It was soo good. My question for this place is o you make croissants with very high lamination (the super thin layered exterior like)? Tuscan Soup with Garlic Bread - My this was the one that gave me the biggest surprise. It was delicious. My boyfriend absolutely dislikes soup. And this made him a believer! The garlic bread was so delightful to bite into very generous on the portion of the bread! Baguette Tradition - I have yet to try it, but I will tomorrow. I would love it if they sold Pate! I know this is going to be a real treat. Pain Au Chocolat - I warmed this up at home and it was so good :) Orange Juice - Typical orange juice it was a bit tart for me. Ice Tea Citrus Green - Very fancy tea! I would have enjoyed this more with a bit of vanilla pump but they seem to forgot about that. I definitely like this place, and will plan to come back often. It's very difficult to find an authentic French bakery. Theres only a few that I like such as Moulin in Newport Beach, L'experience Paris in Bellevue, Washington. All very good in their own right and this place is up there for me! :) read more

This place is becoming one of my favorite bakeries in the East Bay. I love their croissants and baguettes. The line is long, but worth the wait. It's a great place to sit and enjoy the wonderful creations. Can't wait to try more out! read more

BAY AREA BAKERY I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR I've been to different bakeries where some were good and others ok. I heard so much about Maison Benoit. One thing that intrigued me on going here was the owner/ baker is from France. Also another reason going to Maison Benoit was there are several bakers from France The first time I came here was the day before Presidents' Day. The line was really long. I wanted to eat here, but I was worried I would not get a seat. Because of the long line along with the hype of this eatery I wasn't sure If I would come back here again so I ordered a lot of items for myself. I ordered the croissant, almond chocolate croissant, salmon tartine and Parisian sandwich, which was the only take-out order. For coffee I ordered honey bear latte. Fish can be pricey however the portion of the salmon on the salmon tartine wasn't skimpy. I'll say this the smoked salmon tartine at Maison Benoit is better than any bagel and lox I ever had. The salmon melted like butter. Sometimes bagels can be dense, but the bread on the tartine was light yet crunchy. My second favorite item is the almond chocolate croissant. I've ordered an almond croissant or a chocolate croissant but never an almond chocolate croissant. At the Maison Benoit the almond chocolate croissant is tastier than any standalone almond croissant or chocolate croissant I've eaten. The combination of almond and chocolate provided a rich flavor. In addition that crust was crispy. The regular croissant was ok as it did have that flaky crusty with the buttery dough. What I love about the Parisian sandwich is the baguette, which was crunchy yet not hard. For beverage I ordered the honey bear latte was that was one of the special drinks of the day. I knew after my first visit I had to come to Maison Benoit again. The following Saturday I came back to Maison Benoit again. When I came here the first time I noticed the item Breakfast Board, which consists of croissant, baguette, pain au chocolate. After learning my lesson the first time of ordering too many items I ordered the Breakfast Board. The other item I ordered was the pain suisse. The baguette was crunchy on the outside yet soft inside. These two features consist of a proper baguette as too often the crust outside is too hard. The pain au chocolate as with the croissant was ok. The pain suisse stood out as this could be the best chocolate croissant I ever had. Instead of melted chocolate there are chocolate chips. Also the crust was flaky and crispy. For coffee I ordered the brown sugar latte. I was planning to come to Maison Benoit during St. Patrick's Day weekend as I saw a photo of a St. Patrick's-theme croissant, but I came back here the following weekend. I came here because of the eclair. Instead of the usual chocolate eclair I ordered the eclair cafe. Other items I ordered were the croque monsieur, which is a toasted ham and cheese sandwich, and chausson aux pommes, which is a French pastry filled with applesauce. From appearance the eclair cafe looks similar to a maple bar donut. When I took a bit of the eclair cafe it was better than any maple bar donut I ever ate. Besides the custard filling the icing on the eclair cafe was smoother than any maple icing I had on a donut. For the chausson aux pommes I liked how the crust was soft not flaky in order to hold the weight of the applesauce, which had slices of apple. The croque monsier was a perfect way to end a weekend brunch as the cheesy texture and savory ham made this dish filling. Nothing everything I ate at Maison Benoit was great, but every visit has either met or exceeded my expectations. After three visits to Maison Benoit I'm a huge fun of this bakery. I can't wait to come back again to try an item that surprises me. read more

Best Bakery in the Bay Area easy... I have had Maison maybe once a month since they opened, if it was up to me I would have it once a week. The food is only second to an actual bakery in France. The service is exceptional and they even speak French. If you want to feel like you just landed in Paris and immerse yourself in the French way of life the grab a coffee and a breakfast box. read more

Sadly, no change to my rating. I came back thinking that maybe I ordered the wrong things or the coffee was made incorrectly last time... Anyways, I ordered a large latte, a chocolate & almond croissant and an apple turnover. The latte was again, too much milk, too little espresso. I know the owner responded with specifications, but my large latte was so milky. The apple turnover was fine. The chocolate/almond croissant was also fine. But clearly these pastries are not my cup of... coffee. Oh and to the owner who felt the need to lecture me about what a canele is supposed to be like - yes, the outside is supposed to be caramelized, where-as what I had last time was burnt and tough. I will say that I've seen a bunch of reviews talking about their service, and I'd actually say the service was perfectly nice, everyone helping at the counter was being very respectful and gracious towards the customers. read more

I guess my expectations were just too high. My friends would always tell me about Maison Benoit and I finally joined them for breakfast. The au pain chocolate I ordered was the best pastry I have ever had but that's about it. We ordered coffees and matcha and all of them were just terrible. Matcha was pretty much just milk with faint taste of the green tea. My friend's latte seemed to just be some drip coffee with a lot of milk. Also, we waited forever for his breakfast. We had to ask three times for it and almost left before he got it. They said that was the first time they had bad experience there but unfortunately that was my first time there. I'll be back though because that au pain chocolate was just amazing. read more

We got Maison Benoit again! Last time I had a weird experience with the barista after the owner was kind to comment I was back to try it again within a week. This time I picked up (had it delivered). It was amazing and so fresh. We got 3 kouign amann, one half loaf country bread, 2 pain au chocolate, and a suisse croissant (a super crunchy dome shaped croissant with chocolate filling). Of course picking up / to go doesn't do the beautiful store, and the beautiful seating justice, we were pleasantly surprised by how fresh everything was and how good it tasted. The kouign amann was perfectly crunchy, caramelized, balanced (in terms of sweetness). We split the three among a brunch party. People loved it. Then the Pain Au Chocolat was a good breakfast the next day. And suisse croissant was consumed immediately. We put all kinds of fresh ingredients and fig jam on the country bread slices (you can ordered it presliced) and it worked beautifully. I am glad the bakery was nice enough to comment on my previous reviews - it would be sad to miss out on a such a good place based on one soured interaction. read more

Soooo disappointing. Looks like a high quality eatery in a nice area however, after my experience it just seems like it is lacking quality and heart. I had always passed by and finally had time to give it a try... it was as a Friday at 1:30PM....not busy...there were sadly no more chocolate croissants...and I noticed a fly in the case where the pastries were so I decided against trying other pastries. I read the first item on the menu was the croque monsieur....I decided to be adventurous. I ordered it with the girl working behind the display...she was very rude, she grabbed my croque monsieur from the open top shelf...(I had no idea they were being stored there...) and since they are giant pieces of bread smothered in cheese with ham and mor cheese in the middle, it barely was held by her tongs, she plopped it onto a plate and rudely told me I needed to order my drink at the cashier and walked away. The cashier grabbed my plate and put it at the window for the kitchen to heat it up...I sat down to wait for my order. Someone rushed out and to set my food at my table, I asked where I could get utensils, he said "oh, I'll get it" and never came back lol I ended up finding them...it was a nice day out and I was willing to look past all that...until I tried the food...all I tasted was stale bread and just wasn't good. I did not even finish my meal...I felt completely ripped off. read more

Maison Benoit - Crow - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Danville, California

Cute little cafe in the heart of Danville. I was looking forward to trying it out based on seeing the line out the door. Unfortunately I was disappointed from the get go. It was incredibly chaotic upon reaching the front of the line, where there are no instructions for ordering and the first employee I interacted with said nothing about how it works, so here it goes for planning a visit. The first employee covers items in the first counter section, the second covers the second and so on. I felt rushed and the employees had a difficult time answering what I considered basic questions. At the end of the line, the cashier verified the order and I paid. My friend and I were handed a number and told our order would be out shortly. Half the order showed up and after about 20-30 minutes I finally went back in to ask where my sandwich was and they had forgotten it completely. The guy I ordered from remembered me ordering it, but the cashier didn't charge me and it was never put in. My bad for not double checking, but our order amount didn't seem off so I wasn't alerted. Anyhoo, they rang me right up and the sandwich came out pretty quickly after that, so I'll give them kudos for the quick correction. I found the atmosphere to be too crowded and disorganized for my liking. Not sure if I'd return. The food was ok, nothing memorable. Staff is nice, but could be more helpful explaining the drill when you get to the counter. Number of menu items is limited. Be sure to check it before going if you're in the mood for something in particular. We showed up for lunch around 11:30 and they were already out of items. Parking in the area can be difficult, but there's a nearby lot and street parking. read more

Maison Benoit - Chai Tea Latte, Croissant - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Danville, California

I used to come here often because the pastries and bread are truly delicious, but the way food is handled is unacceptable. On one visit, I asked to have my bread sliced and the employee simply dumped it into a shopping bag. No bread bag or anything. Today, I asked to have my bread sliced a certain way, and the employee handling the drinks, after touching multiple surfaces in the coffee prep area, started showing other staff how to slice it and then proceeded to touch my bread with her bare hands. I was shocked but stayed quiet and took the bread anyway. Another issue is how the bread is stored. They line pastries up on an open shelf and employees talk right over it with customers. It feels so unsanitary, especially since anyone could easily spitting over the pastries. Experiences like this make it clear that staff aren't being properly trained in basic food safety. read more
