The Little Chef Pastry Shop

The best pastry this side of the Atlantic. Just be mindful they only take cash.

Best croissant I’ve ever had. Sure the owner isn’t particularly outgoing / extroverted, but the negative reviews are so not warranted. Highly recommend the almond croissant! Will be back!!! 🥐

Best croissants ever!!!

Not satisfied! The croissant was very crispy on the outside, but the inside seemed undercooked.

The chocolate croissant and the eclair were incredible!!! Very unassuming shop from the outside but wish I found it sooner. Seems like a very authentic French pastry shop.

Magnificent croquembouche for my daughter's wedding 'cake'--something we had only seen in pictures. A joy to behold. And extremely delicious.

The staff displayed unnecessary and uncalled for rudeness. I order a cake for pickup. I was told I can pick up anytime after 12. When I went there at 1. The shop was closed with sign that they will return at 3. Who I went at 3.30 and asked if the shop is always closed between 1 to 3, the person got annoyed and said he had an appointment between 9.30 to 3 and kept repeating he had put a sign. No apology at any point . At payment, he said they only take cash which I was not told while placing the order or when I called them saying I am coming to pick up. More importantly, he acted as if it’s my fault for not having cash on me. I walked out of the shop.Food quality and taste are irrelevant if the staff is unecessarily rude and unapologetic.

One of the best frangipane Galette des Rois I’ve had! Being from France I can say it was very authentic. Highly

I’ve been coming here for years. The shop is tiny but the pastries are amazing. It’s a MUST visit for your stop in Princeton. I love the tarts and always get a different kind, all of them delicious.
