Wow. The person working today was extremely clueless when it came to the products they sold at their store. I had to ask questions on what any of the items were since nothing was labeled. With every question the worker had no idea what any of the confectionery items were. “What kind of tart is this…?” Their response would be “uhm, oooh….yeah i literally don’t know….maybe strawberry….or raspberry….?” With every question they seemed so annoyed. I decided to get 4 Birthday Cake Macrons and 4 double chocolate macrons. I paid 21 dollars, expecting they’d be an amazing quality. Got to the car and they were so old. I’ve never in my life had a SQUISHY, CAKELIKE macron. I would never recommend ANYONE to come here. Absolutely disappointed with this quality and experience.

Used to come here all the time a few years ago but we moved far away, now we almost never make it in.
As a special treat I brought my daughter today and I really regret it. Crobrios were completely uncooked in the middle (see picture) and the guy they had working there tried telling me the morning buns they had were Kouign-ammann, which we specially came for on the weekends.
Apparently they don't do that anymore... Very sad.
Several of the macarons we got were old as well, we thought they were surprisingly hard until we got a few fresh ones that were soft and delicious.
Would never go back, and they need to take drastic measures if they want to retain customers.
Best Macarons you’ll have. My favorite is the birthday cake, but truly all of them are good. They are not your normal hard exterior ones, they are larger (fuller) and more airy. In fact, I’m going to grab some on the way home. Highly recommend. Try to get some early, they sell out relatively quick during the day.
Great macarons! Not as flaky as others I’ve had but amazing flavors.

Maybe it was just a bad day but the macarons were about the same quality as HEB macrons. They were not flakey or delicate and the flavors were barely present. There was this gumminess so not sure if they were over mixed or underbaked but I was really disappointed with the three flavors I tried (rose, espresso and pistachio).

Great service but some of the pastries were awful. Please make edible macarons. Your shells are dry af and the filling is some cheap frosting type. Their muffins and other breakfast pastries were good but for the love of good, stop selling those macarons. They’re awful.

Not sure if it was just the day we went but I was not impressed. The worker took a very long time to make two coffees and while he was working there were other customers that walked in and he never greeted them. They ended up leaving because they were ignored and wait was too long. We were the only other customers there.
Stopped by a week ago. Also the restaurant was freezing cold and the pastry we got was cold and hard. It was either old or the employee did not care to warm it up. Coffee was only alright so I think I would recommend other near by options.
Someday I’ll give it another try but otherwise this was a miss for me.

Hey y'all! Was really excited when we arrived here at about 3:45pm today. My boyfriend and I were pretty confused, however, when the sign on the door said they were closed - especially when the hours posted online and on the window said there were open until 5pm. We're both college students, so this was our date post-class.
We both tried to open the door, but it was locked, even though the lights were still on. Eventually, an employee came up to us and said she was closing early today (not indicated anywhere on the door or on the website) and that we could eat from a limited menu. At 3:48pm, the macarons had all been saran-wrapped, all but the cold brew and Vietnamese coffee weren't available, and the toaster had been cleaned so we couldn't get our croissants warmed up.
The croissants were good and the cold brew/Vietnamese coffee combo the employee came up with was okay, but it was really dissapointing to drive here an hour before the posted closing time just to find the door locked and a limited menu. Guests shouldn't have to call ahead to make sure a store is open :(

La Pâtisserie is a delightful hidden gem for those who appreciate quality pastries! Their croissants are perfectly flaky, and the chocolate croissant is rich and indulgent with just the right amount of sweetness. The cinnamon rolls are a must-try, offering a soft, warm treat that pairs beautifully with their strong and flavorful Vietnamese coffee. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or a leisurely coffee break, this bakery hits all the right notes for pastry lovers.

place got sold to someone else but it’s still got the best Almond Croissant in the entire
Amazing people who still make authentic French pastries with love. Some of the best crescents in Austin by far! If your in the area, stop in. You won't be disappointed.

This is my favorite pastry place ever! All of the workers are very friendly and knowledgeable. And everything always tastes so good with the perfect balance of sweetness.
Used to be wonderful. Now has practically no product. I arrived at 8:15 to get an almond croissant. There weren't any because they didn't bake any ! I inquired about my annual birthday cake that I wanted in September. The person there said they don't currently have a baker who knows how to bake cakes. He seemed indifferent and unconcerned. It is on it's 3rd owner. So sad. Used to remind me of bakeries I knew in Paris . Update: They have redeemed themselves!! The cranky server is gone, almond croissants are back, and I was able to order their specialty chocolate cake for my birthday. It was the biggest hit with my friends at my brunch gathering.
The almond croissant here is the best croissant I’ve ever had. They also have outstanding macarons and coffee selection. They obviously care about what they are making here and are friendly as well.

This place has really started to trend downward in the past year.Dramatically varied size of almond croissants, baked but not properly browned croissants, running out of goods early and regularly, etc. They stopped making kouign-amann some time ago and they haven't returned.I hope for a return to a higher quality and more reliable bakery.
