★★★★★ This is a fantastic French bakery! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and there’s plenty of seating both inside and outside, which makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy your food.
They have tons of options, from sweet treats to savory items, and they even bake their own fresh bread. I ordered the croissant sandwich, and it was incredibly flaky and delicious. I also tried a French dessert that was recommended to me—something I hadn’t had before—and it was so good!
They’re also happy to warm items up for you, which is a nice touch.

Just had a wonderful experience at neighborhood favorite La Brioche. Having known the owners now for several years (as a customer) following them from their OG location off Granby Street, this local gem always offers a 5 star experience when I visit. Grabbed some macarons for the kids and a few breakfast items for the wife and I this AM. And a decaf Americano… also fantastic although a simple item. If you want to support local and spend your $ back into the community rather than the corporations that whisk profits out of Hampton Roads to a high priced office space in Manhattan, visit these guys regularly and often!

I had a coffee eclair with a double espresso. I must say the eclair was so well done the pure craftsmanship of this place is phenomenal, combined with the coffee, I almost had tears in my eyes.

Cute, cozy little French bistro with fresh bread and pastries daily. We liked the turkey Brie on baguette, but next time I would take it home and toast - add some mustard (they didn’t have any mustard in store). The quiche was good but not hot enough, it was lukewarm. I liked the Nutella pastry!

Compared to other bakeries in town, this was very overpriced. I ordered a sausage turnover and took a bite into TUNA. In the morning, that was a very disgusting way to start my day as I don’t like tuna at any time unless it’s a grilled tuna steak for dinner. Yuck! This place is too expensive to be giving out incorrect orders. $6.50 for a pastry is high. The rhubarb tart was good at least and the reason for 2 very generous stars. I didn’t have time to go back and get the order corrected. So, it was a disappointment for sure. Will be sticking to Chelsea Bakehouse from now on.

Got to visit while picking up the wedding cake for our close friends wedding. We grabbed a variety of croissants for the bridal party and then a couple for us. Almond croissant was spectacular! The staff was amazing and made me feel like family on my first visit. Wedding cakes were a hit all around!

I would get it five stars based on the baguette I got from there, but since they're never open and I've never been able to buy a second one, I have to give it three stars

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Slice of Parisian Heaven in Norfolk! La Brioche isn't just a bakery; it's a transportive experience. From the moment you step through the door, the scent of caramelized sugar and warm butter wraps around you, making you forget you're in Norfolk and believe you've stumbled into a charming boulangerie on a side street in Paris. This spot is, without a doubt, a five-star culinary treasure. The atmosphere is cozy, charming, and impeccably clean. It's the perfect place for a quiet morning coffee or a weekend treat. What truly sets them apart, though, is the quality of the baking. The brioche itself is transcendent—airy, perfectly golden, and so unbelievably soft it melts in your mouth. Don't even get me started on the pastries! The almond croissant is a masterpiece of flaky layers and rich filling, and the seasonal tarts are always fresh, vibrant, and expertly balanced. Their coffee, too, is the perfect complement, strong and smooth. The service is warm, efficient, and genuinely welcoming, making every visit a pleasure. Whether you're grabbing a loaf to take home or settling in for a luxurious breakfast, the staff treat you like a regular. If you live in or are visiting the Norfolk area, La Brioche is an absolute must-try. Come for the pastries, stay for the atmosphere, and leave with a smile. Five stars, hands down!

I LOVE La Brioche!!! The food was INCREDIBLE, we got a ham and Swiss quiche, raisin bun, apricot pastry, and a baguette to take home. Everything was delicious - the quiche was warm and cheesy with a flaky crust, the raisin bun was so fluffy and melted in your mouth, and my favorite was the apricot pastry with real apricot halves on it. The service was fantastic, the owner gave me her coffee recommendation and also suggested the raisin bun, they were so kind about letting our dog on the patio with us, the guy at the counter was so nice to bring our food out to us so we could watch our dog, and the atmosphere and location are excellent. Definitely want to come back for lunch and to try the wine. 5 stars all around!!!!

Desserts are fresh and delicious, I bought different mini tarts and cakes for a dinner and were a hit! They just have one size of coffee, cappuccino is delicious, European style with foam, it has two shots of espresso so is perfect for your daily dose of caffeine. You can also find fresh bread like baguettes and sourdough bread everyday, plain and chocolate croissants, quiches, macarons, and other different French pastries
