Cute little modern French bakery with pastries, coffee and desserts. I have been wanting to stop by for ages, and I stopped in this afternoon after dropping off my kid for music classes across the street. Sadly just ate lunch so no need for pastries but I can always do an iced latte! They serve Chromatic brand coffee and you can get it with a variety of syrup flavors: caramel, hazelnut, raspberry, etc. $6 including tip. Honestly, it is a STEAL for handcrafted coffee compared to Starbucks - and it supports the neighborhood! We'll be back for pastries, Preligen!

Amazing bakery , came in for a couple assorted bags of treats. Small bakery with lots of options and everything smelling superb and warm. My favorite was the cheese and onions muffin rounds as well as the cheese danish:)

Great little bakery near my house. Tried muffin, savory scone and panna cotta. Everything was very good. Will def be a regular weekend stop for me.

Plain, ham and cheese, and almond croissant

Delicious delicious delicious!! Tried their ham and cheese, almond, and plain croissant. They were all amazing! Buttery, fresh, flaky... I can't wait to come back and taste all of their other desserts.

Lemon meringue tart and chocolate hazelnut dome.

I did a search of almond croissants and this place came up. I had never heard of them and was surprised to learn they have been around for 2 years. They are in the front of the strip mall at Meridian and Hamilton avenues. Unfortunately, they were out of the almond croissants when I got there. Instead, I tried a mini lemon meringue tart and a chocolate hazelnut dome. Usually such artistically designed treats are lacking in flavor, but not these; both were very good. My husband and I both thought the lemon meringue was the best, probably because it was sweeter, but both were very good. I'll definitely be back to attempt to try the almond croissant!

ham and cheese croissant + iced latte

Came here Friday morning with a friend. When you first enter into the store, you see on full display all the pastries and cakes that are available that day behind the glass separator. Everything looked really good and they were already sold out of certain items. The store has minimal decoration, but an open concept, so you can see the pastries being prepared. I ordered a latte and a ham and cheese croissant, which the cashier offered to heat up. You have the option to eat in as there are a few tables inside and outside the store. The latte was pretty standard, but the ham and cheese croissant was pretty flakey and had a generous amount of filling. Service was extremely fast. I got my order within minutes, although we were not there during a rush. However, there was a steady stream of customers coming in while we were there, so I can imagine this place gets packed during the weekend. The store is located in a small plaza with a few other stores, so there's some parking, although it filled up by the time we left. They have an early bird special for drip coffee and a croissant as well. Would come here again and try their other pastries!

The reviews are 100% spot-on. If you're a quality pastry fan, this is exactly the place you want to visit! * Location: Easy to find, plenty of parking in shopping center * Ambiance: Bakery is a quiet, clean, welcoming, & delicious-smelling! The best parts are the beautiful pastry and dessert display cases - your eyes won't know where to look first! Small indoor & outdoor seating available. * Service: Owner & baker always greets folks cheerfully and ready to help with recommendations. * Food: You can't go wrong with any selection, especially any of their croissant varieties. The butter croissant & polvoron are some of our favorites. Highlight: Absolute best almond croissant we've ever tasted. The crunch, flakiness, almond paste spread, & crunch - amazing & so worth the drive!!

I was first introduced to this bakery when a colleague bought a selection of pastries for a nonprofit fundraiser dessert silent auction, which I got to only eat with my eyes. Thanks to Too Good To Go (TGTG), I not only get to finally taste these pastries; I also discovered this french artisan bakery owned by Chef Preligen is a kababayan (fellow countryperson). He is a pastry chef with many years of training and baking sweets at high end Vegas hotels like Bellagio while got his savory baking muscle through SF Baking Institute. My original plan was to pick up my TGTG and leave then the jars of "avocado chocolate & coffee" in the cold case & Chef Preligen tidying up in his chef's coat gave me pause to engage in a chat with him while I window shopped. Learning more of his story and after carefully checking out each items, I bought a savory Rosemary, Sun Dried, Parmesan scone, 3 tropical inspired puddings/mousse, and tiramisu to add to my TGTG bounty. He's had this storefront for one year since Memorial Day 2024. It is on a busy corner of Meridian & Hamilton with a two bistro tables outside if can handle the traffic noise. Fortunately, the property owner landscaped area with thick bushes for a sound and visual buffer. Otherwise, enjoy your beverage and baked goods indoor on the welcoming sofa. I visited in late Sunday morning and there was a comfortable stream of patrons visiting. When I arrived there was someone enjoying their food outdoor. While I was window shopping, a pair came in to order tiramisu. A couple was entering while I was leaving. Sampled the coconut macaroon, savory scone & dairy free tapioca during lunch. The macaroon, the size of an oversized truffle, was satisfying for Dad. I took a nibble, appreciating the moisture, texture, and the not overpowering coconut taste as I don't usually enjoy coconut forward sweets. Scones are another baked item that doesn't rank high on my list. There is only one bakery/cafe in Palo Alto that I will always buy their scones. Now, I can add Preligen's yummy scone recipe to that list. The savory mixture intrigued me, so took a chance to taste test and was super satisfied. It ate like a heavier biscuit, moist without being too crumbly and slight sweetness. I enjoyed with a salad. The mixed fruit in the dairy free tapioca was crisp and fresh, the gelatin layer and tapioca pearls brought out the little girl in me so can play with it in my mouth as I ate it. I didn't miss the dairy in this "dairy-free" dessert. Enjoyed the a slightly warmed berry croissant using toaster oven for dinner dessert. It was crispy on outside with layers and layers of lamination. The lemony cream inside paired very well with the plump, firm & sweet berries. The full size cheesecake, tiramisu, and chocolate entremets prompted me to make a mental note to order in future for a special family gathering. While Chef Preligen always has at least one whole cake in case, he encourages pre-ordering. Will share my discovery with fellow #FilAm #Foodies so can support Chef Preligen. Adding to my list of spots to meet for a cafe meeting or catch up. I look forward to stopping by when I'm in the area or making a trip for special occasion orders.

Apparently, the 4th time is the charm. I have tried coming here multiple times but it has not worked out since they close early at 3pm. , I finally made it today, and what a great little spot! They have savory and sweet items. The desserts are French style, so not as sweet as typical American desserts. I am not a coffee person, but they said that their coffee is great, and I believe them based on the desserts I had. Do check it out!

Omg Preligen's bakery has the most flakey and perfectly layered croissants !! I have been ordering bakery items on a weekly basis and the quality of the items are so well made. I also appreciate a well condensed menu, as that allows the bakery to really perfect and specialize in their certain pastries!

Excellent! This Chef owned Bakery is an Artist. Not only does all his deserts look good but they are AMAZINGLY good. I highly recommend you stop in for desert or breakfast.

One queue was for online orders (recommended by the bakehouse) and the other was manned by an attendant with a tablet and a printed menu. Parking wasn't a hassle this time as there were plenty of spots. Add the fact that we were now familiar with Vietnam Town. We got our usuals with choux (Kaya and Ube), Pandan-Coconut Milk Bread and Banh Bo (honeycomb cake). The mention worthy Guava filled Mochi Cake was so good! A yummy tip that elevates this baked good was when I toasted it (4 minutes) in an airfryer. The crunchy surface with the chewy mochi texture plus the sweet guava stuffing was the perfect ratio I was looking for in a dessert pastry. Can't wait to go back and have more of the guava filled goodness!

It was an odd combination of flavors. It wasn't burnt but tasted like it/bitter and heavy on the butter. I would come back for the bánh bò for sure though!

It is located next to the grocery store Nobhill and there are quick 20min parking in front of the store. We were greeted right when we entered the door and looked at the delicious treats to eat.

The sign in front of the store had some drink specials and I got a strawberry/matcha drink I think it was called Rose. I asked what was good here and the cashier said the mini almond pastries and other treats in the front. The mini almond pastry was really good and also got a crème brûlée which was really good as well. I would come back again and try their hot teas next time. Delicious treats.

The food is worth the wait. Don't sleep on the black pepper sausage danish: the croissant dough is crisp and flaky, and doesn't get soggy when baked around the sausage. It's comparable in execution to the Croissant Hot Dog served at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas (in Caesar's Palace), but at a way more accessible price point. Which isn't to say this place is cheap; like many artisanal bakeries in California, it comes with a premium price tag, but at least it's not Dominique Ansel pricy. Croissante's croissant dough baked goods (viennoiserie) is pun-intended "proof" that you get what you pay for. The dining space is limited and lively. Conversing is a little tough, but if you just need a place to sit while eating, it's just right. Extra special shout out this time to Dill who had informed me the fried chicken dishes today would be an hour and a half wait. After deciding there wasn't anything I wanted more than the Fried Chicken and Spiced Croffle (croissant dough baked in a waffle iron) and was happy to wait, they were nice enough to check in with the kitchen and see if it could be made sooner than that. I didn't expect to be accommodated, so I was happy they were able to do that. You get two chicken thighs and croffles per order. It's enough for two light eaters to share.

I ended getting two ham and cheese croissants, pistachio bow tie croissant and the matcha pan suisse (scored the last one!). I'll say it but it was hard to decide on an order because they take everything down before you even get to see the whole display. Everything was delicious but I did not anticipate the total. It was around $36 for 4 items.

The design was so classy, elegant, and truly above my expectations. You can really see the care and creativity that went into making it. My husband was so happy when he saw it, and it made the celebration even more special for us. I also want to give a special thanks to the manager at the San Jose location. When I mentioned that we would be traveling in the car for about 7 hours, they were so kind and helpful in giving us options to make sure the cake would stay perfect during the trip. Their suggestion worked so well! Overall, I am beyond satisfied with both the cake and the wonderful customer service. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our celebration extra special.

Even the malasadas were underwhelming and if you think they are similar to Leonard's, then this does not come close. For the Portuguese tarts, they were served a bit cold.

Overall, the texture and flavor didn't meet expectations. Service was decent but the staff were not friendly. This was a bit of a letdown. If you can, I'd suggest driving or taking the train to SF for this better spot, Holy Nata. It was so much better.
