Great spot for dessert after dinner or as part of a date, too. I specifically went in for the "fancy" hot chocolate, which is made with real chocolate pieces. The baked goods were also tasty - my only suggestion is to make sure you ask to have your item warmed up, depending on what you get, as they are kept in a cool case and something like a brownie for example was pretty hard to eat. The sever did recognize this and offered to heat it up after the fact; which made it perfect. All of the baked goods were perfectly wrapped or garnished. The interior has a decent amount of seating and lots of dried flowers everywhere. Definitely try the hot chocolate!

I heard this was one of the famous bakeries I must check out in Pittsburgh. I got their pistachio…read moreeclair, ham and cheese croissant, and almond croissant -- all tasted wonderful and light. The croissants were great when you lightly air fry/toast them if you don't eat them right away. In Lawrenceville, it's a small location with a couple of outdoor seating but none inside. However, it is a chain so you might have one in your little area. My only thing is that the pistachio eclair is very sweet (so if you don't have a sweet tooth, maybe I'd go for another subtler dessert). I saw they have a deal where you can get a baguette, sandwich, and drink for $7. Good deal imo considering the quality of their bread, and it's a good excuse to buy a sweet treat with it!

La Gourmandine is always a solid choice, and our Thanksgiving order proved it again. We picked up a…read morepumpkin tarte and an apple tarte--each meant to serve about six--and both were delicious. The flavors were balanced, the pastry was buttery and delicate, and they looked as good as they tasted. The total came to $50.65, which feels pretty standard for a French bakery once you understand the baseline is a bit higher than your typical American dessert spot. For the quality, it's well worth it. Consistently great, reliably tasty, and perfect for special occasions or whenever you want to treat yourself. The staff is friendly. It's usually busy here and not conducive to eating inside.

I picked up several Tigertails, chocolate chip cookies, and the carrot cake, and everything was amazing. I'm honestly glad I don't live nearby because I would live in this bakery! I visited midday on a Wednesday, so it wasn't too busy and parking was easy. The staff was excellent, very friendly and patient as I took everything in. It's a beautiful, clean spot that would even be great for a casual date. A must-visit if you're in the Pittsburgh area.

I didn't snag a baked good while I was in but they all looked just as delicious as the pizza! Service was quick and friendly. No real seating inside but there are tables outside for warmer days.

After many recommendations from friends, I finally tried Kyle's when getting a cheesecake for my aunt's birthday. The options and varietal are the best locally.

It was packaged sturdily to survive the ride. We will be back and so happy to recommend it.

The coffee is strong and smooth and honestly better than the overpriced stuff from the fancy place nearby. The bakery items are on another level.

Also, major respect for opening right next to the most expensive and snooty bakery in the area and completely holding their own. That takes guts and they are pulling it off because the food is great, the prices are good, and the service is fast. Great food, great value, great people. Five stars highly recommend.

Grab whatever item you want, place on the platter and take to register. They will then ask you if you plan on dining in or if it's to go. However the ambiance is nice. Not overly quiet, not too loud. Enough space for you to bring your laptop and work if need be. However the pasties are very delicious. I can't even say what to get first. Just start with a few items and try something new each time you come in. So many options to choose from.

They have two cases of their delicious looking pastries, one table of discounted items, and a case serving hot items. Open that case and serve yourself the hot mini quiches and empanadas. Started with a mini quiche and a beef empanada. Hubby liked his quiche. I'm not a fan of olives and they were all over my beef empanada. Will not be getting that one again. The kind young lady behind the case helped us order our very first Burnt Almond Torte. It comes in different sizes and we chose the bar as it easily serves two. She even gave us sporks to eat it with. We really loved the Burnt Almond Torte. The inside has a soft, moist vanilla cake layered with a thin layer of icing and enrobed with more icing and topped with the buttery, crunchy almonds. We will be back for more.

It was around 10 hours before we tried our Burnt Almond Torte...wow! That dessert is something that I will eat again, and again. The toasted almonds were soooo good! They were crunchy, crispy, and perfect. The Bar Cake had a white cake inside and icing on the outside; it was heavily coated in those almonds. The person who assisted was knowledgeable about the items to a point; she did not eat anything in the bakery so it was by observation. Don't care, that Burnt Almond Torte is the real deal!
