La Gourmandine Oakland Reviews
We ordered a cake for 50 for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and first off- it was beautiful, and second-everyone couldn't stop raving about how absolutely delicious it was!
It was absolutely perfect and the online ordering was incredibly simple.
We are lucky to have this shop in the neighborhood

Excellent! Have tried several different pastries and all were delicious. Highly recommend the pistachio eclair!
Decided to take a stroll on my lunch break today and went here for a nice iced latte. It's the cutest little French bakery in the middle of Oakland.
The baristas are super sweet. It smells amazing and I wanted to order one of everything. I ended up getting just an iced oat milk latte with some vanilla and it was perfection!!!!
The inside isn't enormous but it is so so so cute!!!! If you're in Oakland it's worth stopping.
