TESTIMONIALSWords from our customers
LOCAL DENVER GEM
Local, family-owned Denver gem. We’ve been coming here for years and have never had anything that wasn’t fresh and delicious. If you want an authentic French pastry but can’t cross the Atlantic, this bakery is your spot!

TASTE OF FRANCE
Most amazing, authentic French bakery I’ve had outside of France. Florence, who is Parisian, and her husband do an amazing job of providing the taste of France in the Denver area. The pastry sells out quickly, so arrive early. The amazing coffee, latte and espresso put you back on the streets of Paris. Such a gem, you hope they don’t get too famous so you can keep them all to yourself ;).

SINFUL GATEAUX
Florence and her bakery… Exquisite! Her croissants are among the best I’ve had outside of France. She makes a petit gateaux au chocolat that is delicious and sinful. Amazing breads… Please buy things from these folks. They are terrific! I cannot wait to try the chocolate banana bread.

DELICIOUS FLAKY FRESH
Great French bakery. We could smell the bakery as we walked through the parking lot. The croissants were delicious, flaky and super fresh. We had the chocolate and almond ones. Will definitely be back.

FRESH AND AUTHENTIC
Excellent! Delicious classic French baked goods. Fresh and authentic. Cinnamon bun was perfect, just the right balance of fluffy, sticky, gooey. Freshest baguette around. Classic croissants are my favorite. Can’t wait to try more!
