La Patisserie

It is a lovely French bakery. Visit it for the delicious French pastries like croissants, macaroons, lemon tarts, éclairs, and beignets. The chocolate croissants are a must-try - they have a perfect dough and just the right amount of chocolate. And I recommend to try mocha here as well to complete your treat!

Who doesn't enjoy a nice piece of pastry in the morning? Whether you're in the mood for some cake or some macarons, you can find it all at La Patisserie, Austin's only authentic, from-scratch French pastry shop. With so much to choose from, I got a little bit of everything such as the: - Mint Chocolate Drip Cake (seasonal): Good tonality of richness, which has you wanting to take more bites. Not overbearing in sweetness and a good balance of chocolate and mint! - Cinnamon "CroBrio" (Croissant-Brioche Hybrid Donut filled with Vanilla Bean Pastry Cream): This one was really unique to me. I like the fusion of the two pastries in both the texture and flavor. I was hit with a surprise vanilla filling because originally I didn't know it was filled! So good though. - Orange, Honey, & Almond Bun (Seasonal): Think of this one always like a croissant. Interesting mix of sweet, tart, and nutty flavors and fun texture to bite into. - Blackberry Kouign-Amann (seasonal): This one was my favorite. Think of it as a denser version of the croissant, but filled with a blackberry jelly. - Toasted Almond Eclair: A classic! - 6 Pack Macarons (from left to right): Vanilla Bean x2, Pistachio, Bailey's Irish Cream, Mint Chip, & Lucky Charms. My favorite had to have been the Lucky Charms and that's because I'm a sucker for anything cereal. Holistically, they offer interesting flavors to choose from, so you can't go wrong with anything! All in all, you can tell how much work is put into these pastries. Not just visual or structural, but also in flavor. High quality ingredients and good balances of flavors all around. Nothing was overpowering in sweetness which was great. All in all, I was highly satisfied with what I got.

I ordered a dozen macrons for a surprise proposal for my now fiancée since they have been her absolute favorite thing since our Christmas trip to France. They were absolutely delicious with a wide variety of amazing flavors, and they made sure not to include chocolate as I requested in the online order! We can’t wait to order more!

Lezlie was and is pure magic. She created an ombré macaron tower for our wedding and it was a hit. She also stuck with us throughout the crazy COVID times and changing our dates. We were also able to taste test the ones we wanted. Very unique and made our vision come to life. The bakery delivered and set up; I didn’t even know they were there it went so seamlessly…on a Sunday too. We had a ton of macarons left over that didn’t fit on the tower that ended up coming home with us, but were all gone by morning! To those who know French macarons, you won’t be disappointed as they taste just like they do there. For those who have never had them, get ready to crave them and eat way too many!!
