Do we have more than 5 rating? Love this place and kept coming back. No other words can match ...service, high grade food quality and the best best croissants/ cruffins I've ever tasted. Very proud to be your student! When it's Chef Clement's masterpiece it must be really really the best! Looking forward to visit again

Delicious pastries! Beautiful ambience, clean and kind hostess. The blackberry dessert was my absolute favorite.

Clément certainly makes some beautiful and delicious desserts, but they they also make some pretty good le sandwich as well. I had the Garden on a butter croissant, which came with prosciutto, brie, arugula, and delicious fig jam. Oh yes, I also had a cortado with whole milk. First of all, the cortado was very good. It could have used a little more milk, but it was well made. The Garden Croissant sandwich was very nice, but I have to admit if they would have warmed up the croissant with the brie and prosciutto before putting on the jam and arugula, it would have been just grand. The prosciutto and and brie, although very delicious and fresh, were just too cold in the sandwich. I look forward to returning because there are a lot of items I would like to try, especially some of the specialty croissants and desserts. Service was very nice and they offer very comfortable seating inside.

We splurged whilst on vacation and tried the delicate desserts and purchased croissants for breakfast the next day. The mango dessert was our favorite. The chocolove was a bit too sweet for our taste. For both, texture was very creamy and mousse like. We had a raspberry dessert as well, but it had not thawed ok the way and was still slightly frozen in the center. After all and said and done, we'd buy the croissants 1,000 time over; best we've ever had . We'd probably skip on the other desserts we tried, but are glad we tried them for the experience of eating very artistic food:)

It's my 3rd time visiting this spot in PB. I love the atmosphere, bright and beautiful interior design. The dessert's display it's like a art showcase, gorgeous color and everything I ordered was delicious! The service was great and Jeanne Flore was very kind and sweet. I ordered a croissant generously filled with cherry blossom and raspberry jam. So yum! My matcha was perfectly executed, the right balance. I brought my laptop and spent few hours there. Absolutely lovely time, easy to find parking around as well. Will definitely come back.

Blink and you might miss this little piece of heaven in PB. Excellent and authentic French pastries!

I went to this place on 4/7/24, and personally this place was really cute and nice. The staff was great but the desserts and food was not appetizing. I came here with my husband and he got their garden croissant which was their savory meal and we shared the sweet box which came with a variety of their main desserts. My favorite was the lemon and chocolate dessert but besides that, I didn't think it was worth spending $60 for what we got. My husband also didn't like his sandwich and I asked the server if we could switch it out for the croissant burger and she did but still charged me for the other meal which was $20. In total, I spent $80 that day. The burger was honestly horrendous, Maybe their other savory stuff is better but I do not recommend those two savory items. Overall I will not be coming back to this place and think that their are far more better places for dessert to visit.

I absolutely loved this place. It was above my expectations. It was a bit pricier than what I normally spend on desserts, but the desserts I got were absolutely worth it. The two I absolutely loved were the Nutella roll and the Chocolove. The filling inside on both were to die for. The roll was flaky and the filling was so creamy. The chocolove, the outwe mousse was a dark chocolate but then the filling is sweeter, so that balance was perfect. I cannot wait to go back!!

Magnifique is how I would describe Desserts By Clementthe salt & sea sandwich was fresh and delish and how did the know my favorite is arugula salad?! Service was great and comes with a gorgeous French girl pronouncing every word in French which makes everything taste so much better. The ambiance is elegant yet inviting, I'm going back to sit and work on my laptop like the guy I saw in there typing away. Definitely recommend and if we know each other please lmk and I'll come with

Very cute place, I rate only 4 stars now because I'm hoping to try more items in nearby future. The croissants were amazing and I'm already thinking of coming back. Nutella rolled croissant was hands down my favorite one! The lavender was pretty tasty too and I'm typically not a fan of lavender at all. Can't wait to go back to try more dishes and desserts!

This place has the best pastries, cutest seating areas, good coffee, but most of all they have amazing staff. Always warm and welcoming.

Such a cute cafe and dessert bar!! The desserts were so pretty and tasted amazing. I got the little tasting box and all the desserts were fantastic.

Such a cute, aesthetic cafe! They have indoor and outdoor seating with modern boho decor. I loved the vibe and the service but wasn't a big fan of my drink or croissant. I ordered an iced matcha latte but they didn't put a lot of matcha so it felt like I was drinking milk. The color of my matcha is very light too. I had the cherry blossom croissant and I like the presentation and frosting on the outside but the filling inside was too overpowering. I'm definitely coming back next time to try their other items.

"SORRY IM BUSY EATING DESSERT" (3.75 stars) - FOOD: good - PRICE: kind of pricy for what you get - SERVICE: ok - AMBIANCE: cute I love seeing a booming business boom! Beautiful desserts with lots of customers ready to buy them. They seem to be expanding their menu with savory eats... had to come and try both. :: ORDER :: CROISSANT BURGER ($19) - comes with a side of potatoes and aioli sauce. I don't think this was worth the price. This is new on the menu and I never had a croissant burger so had to order it. A croissant for a bun was the next level up! Airy and crunchy/flaky yet dry but the sauce inside the burger provided the moisture and a full bite had good texture and taste. It's a messy burger to eat... you been warned! The patty was cooked well done and it had melted polvolone cheese. Stacked with a spicy sauce, fresh sliced purple onions, tomato, and arugula. Nice combination but a little spicier than I had anticipated as the spicy sauce elevated the herbal spicy from arugula and felt the fresh purple onions was overly overpowering and I would reduce the size of the raw onions. Would prefer smaller or thinner slices of purple onion. It was an ok-good burger but nothing to rush back to. HOWEVER, the potatoes failed this plate. They were basically greasy soggy breakfast potatoes. It should be served with something better like normal French fries or shoe string fries. The potatoes were a cheap shot on this meal. Maybe if this side was improved then it would be worth the price. They better step up the burger plate... The Friendly is around the corner for a fraction of the this price. Their other savory items on the menu are more affordable and you also get more on the plate... next time I'll have to try something else. RECOMMEND PINK LADY ($10) - their most popular one! Presentation is so elegant, simple, and beautiful. Taste was good but nothing amazing. The composition: Pistachio financier, Strawberry jelly, Pistachio ganache, Cherry blossom mousse. The good stuff is in the middle but it was tiny. The dessert is mostly covered in Cherry Blossom mousse which I feel made it not worth its price. Less mouse and more of the good stuff in the middle would have made it worth its price. I felt like I was digging for gold when sticking my fork in this dessert. It was a good dessert when you get a taste of the middle. RECOMMEND but would also explore the other desserts too. :: SERVICE :: It's busy and there are a few employees managing the place. I felt the owner was doing the most and think the people he hired should be doing the work he was doing (bussing tables, wiping tables, refilling the counter with napkins, utensils, cups). He should be behind the counter engaging with customers on desserts and the menu as people have questions and etc. Half the tables that were available were not wiped down and I had to be asked for it to be wiped down (mentioned this to the girl at the front counter during my order and she responses "sure just have a seat".) I waited and nobody came for a long time until the owner came by and I had to ask him. I felt like the annoying customer having to always go up and check on things... it took awhile for my food and I ordered dessert for after the meal but it was so busy and the pastries were flying out the glass case I had to get up and ask her to hold one for me for later (yes, I already paid for it). Also I ordered water and didn't receive any directions and thought a cup was going to be handed to me. Well, it's serve yourself and cups were not restocked so it was hard for customers to know where to get water. Again, I asked the owner and he got me a cup of water and restocked the counter. Again, all the tasks he was doing should be the tasks of the people that work for him and he should be the one behind the counter. I felt bad but all the things I needed weren't accessible and I had to bug someone. I'd love to come back and try some more of the menu but a $30 spend on the above and left feeling just satisfied but not amazed doesn�
