This patisserie is VERY good and I highly recommend their Almond Croissant and their Sticky Buns. Two of the aspects that set their pastries apart from other places is that due to the French style there’s more butter used and nothing is overly sweet. Also, their prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly! I’m glad I discovered this little gem and hope it remains open. I didn’t get any of their Christmas treats but as you can see they’re absolutely adorable!

EXCELLENT little patisserie serving up classic viennoiserie.
It’s a small shop on Jefferson Highway near River Ridge so it’s easy to miss. Glad I found this hidden gem.
They have the typical pastry selections of plain butter croissants, ham and cheese, pain au chocolat, as well other specialties.
Today was my first ever time in the shop and I was craving croissants. All I got was a ham and cheese croissant, a butter croissant, and a few pain au chocolats. ALL excellent. Even the cold ham and cheese one I had in store was delicious.
When I got home, my mother and I fired up our oven and reheated the pain au chocolat. DREAMY texture as expected and of course it made a mess as a croissant should. And lots of butter too hehe. Cannot recommend this place enough. Please support our local businesses, and especially this if you love viennoiserie!

I’m a regular at their stall at the German Coast Farmers’ Market in Destrehan on Saturday mornings, but I like to visit the shop in River Ridge if I’m passing. Their patisserie is excellent – their croissants are some of the best I’ve eaten (and I have spent some time in France) – though I often default to their pretzels which are delicious. My family love the Kouign Amman, and the brownies. The photo is what’s left of this morning’s haul, and it is very unlikely to survive the rest of the day. I’m glad to live this close to such a great patisserie.

This place is an absolute gem! I highly recommend their Pistachio croissant – if they’re available. (You do have to get there early as they go quickly!) Their Kouign Amann reminds me of the DKA at Dominique Ansel. I bet there’d be a line out the door if this bakery were located in the quarter.

Delicate, soft, and buttery pastries. Absolutely divine. I lived in Europe for quite some time and this bakery absolutely meets my high standards!

Absolutely amazing croissants and pastry. I ate one in my car and it was a tragically delicious mistake as it flaked everywhere. Definitely on the pricier side but on taste alone, 5/5.

Omg omg omg.
As I was driving way out to the middle of nowhere to get this cake I asked myself if this was really worth it?
YES HONEY IT IS!!
This is the best king cake I’ve had all season!!
I’m definitely making this drive again!

Finally made it out to try this bakery. Not a lot to choose from, but the owner came out to explain what he had and to let me taste a pastry I had never heard of. Unbelievable! Everything is kind of based on a croissant type dough and this pastry, that I can’t remember the name of was crispy on the outside, but soft and flaky on the inside. What made this so spectacular was the buttery, caramel crunchy topping. So much butter flavor! The king cakes were not traditional, but beautiful stuffed with cream and fruit. The almond croissant looked very tasty and I will try one of those next time, but I cannot imagine leaving without that first pastry I had.

OMG! I had a pastry from this bakery, and it was so delicious. They were at the Gretna’s farmers market last Saturday. Don’t know the name of the pastry I had, but it was so good. Was looking online to visit shop, not open till Friday. Will purchase again!

Enjoyed my chocolate almond croissant. I should’ve bought 2! Next time I will. I enjoy that I don’t have to go all the way into NOLA to get croissants anymore nor fight to find parking on Magazine St. Will definitely be back and look forward to sampling some of their other items.
