Sophie La Gourmande

My wife and I wanted something a little different for our wedding cake - Tiramisu. We went to multiple bakeries and were told it wouldn't be possible to make a tiered cake out of tiramisu. When we approached Sophie La Gourmande, they were excited about our idea and made our vision come to life! Our cake turned out even better than we pictured, and of course tasted amazing. Would absolutely recommend them for your next event!

I first heard about Sophie La Gourmande earlier this year, when I was in between jobs. I vowed to treat myself to "something" from the place once I found work, and recently, I did just that. Only...absolutely everything looked amazing, and I wound up treating myself to several somethings, even though the prices were a bit high (but fair for the quality of each item). Although everything I had was fabulous, the sablé cookie sandwich was the standout for me, along with the strawberry panna cotta. The space inside is lovely and the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. The man taking my order congratulated me on my new job (I'd told him about my promise to myself), which I thought was really above and beyond in the "good service" department. I wish I could be a more frequent customer of Sophie La Gourmande but I live a bit too far away and the new job doesn't pay me enough to make this a regular stop.

I’ve been following this bakery on Instagram for several years, and finally had the opportunity to go. We went a bit crazy ordering about 6 different pastries, and each one was excellent. The staff even gave us a few dog biscuits for our puppy’s first birthday party, which were obviously a hit. Definitely recommend making the trip, even if it’s a bit outside your planned route!

From the moment you enter the space, as a diner, you know you’re going to experience something different. It’s a beautiful place to eat, and the food was unusual and its menu options, presentation, and taste. We liked The chickpea confit that had whole chickpeas, served a top, hot hummus. The sweet potato and red beet sandwich was satisfying. Numerous vegan ready options were available. Other options could be veganized quite easily.

I enjoy every experience at Sophie. The girls and I got to enjoy so many tasty treats - mousse, quiches, croissants, and more. The owner came out to greet us at tell us the story of his business. Wonderful experience! Tasty baked goods!
