La Pâtisserie

Cutest little shop! I wish I remember the gentleman’s name that was working. He was very kind and took the time to describe different types of pastries to me. The coffee was good and the pastries were tasty! Loved the vibes here. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Austin!

Oui, at the moment, all I can utter is AHHHH! It's not polite to talk or text with my mouth full, yet I cannot help it. La Pâtisserie is divine, not to be missed, where one may dine à l'air frais or inside. Coffee and tea, along with French pastries and sandwiches are excellent. Food, service, and atmosphere combine in this France-comes-to-Austin establishment. Dine with others, or alone, the setting is sweet, enabling one a quiet retreat from the hustle-&-bustle of nearby South 1st Street. Francophiles or simply ces amoureux de tout-français, as well as anyone new to the concept of an intimate French café will love La Pâtisserie. Now, be so kind as to leave me alone to finish my croissant!

Loved this place! Terrific vibe (SO much charm). Helpful and fun service. Delicious and beautiful food and drinks. It is a small place with only a few tables, though we found great seats. And there is a fairly limited number of food choices but everything looked outstandingly gorgeous and everything we tried was so delicious. Plus, I was over the moon happy that a delicious, gluten-free scone was available, along with a couple of other gluten-free baked goods.

Wanted to have something delicious from here since it's the talk of many blogs. What a disappointment from the beginning. Should have used that as a sign, but i wanted to give this patisserie a try so bad. #1 the staff was off putting. #2 the pastries were bland and stale, what a waste of money. Perhaps the baker was having an off day, i can't say, but my experience was absolutely a bust. I took a bit and ended up spitting it out mid chew, just couldn't go through with it. Ya live and you learn.

I think they better use the phrase "inspired by." These pastries are fresh and well-made. As for authentic, no. The beignet and almond croissant are close but not quite. The crobrios as original creations are delicious and balanced out by a cup of black coffee. The aesthetic is again inspired by a French cafe-small, artistic and looks like it's family-owned. I don't know if it is or not, but that's the vibe.

Darling place with beautiful wood slat floors. Feels very Parisian and home and comfortable. The cappuccino was good although not great since they do not use Mill King milk (puts anything it's used in over the top with its rich, creamy flavor) and definitely a solid eclair although not the best I've had. Would prefer the richer flavor and thicker filling although that takes more expensive cream and eggs than what they are likely using.

Quaint place right next door to the famous "Welcome to Austin" mural. Hands down THE BEST macaron I've tasted in my life. Went there with a tour which included a free macaron and picked the roasted almond, ended up buying six more and eating two of those right there and then. I thought I did not like macarons until I tasted the one sold here. Now I know this is how a macaron is meant to taste🥰😋

My parents come to visit me from Algeria, we stop at this beautiful shop and the lady was super gentle with us ( from Lille). Back home we like a French pastries. So sweet your lemon tarte and good millefeuille.

Lovely cafe with wonderful treats!. We came here Saturday for a chai latte, croissant and macaroons. We really enjoyed sitting on the front patio. Staff wwere friendly and overall atmosphere is very inviting. We'll be back!!

We stopped by here from our tour with Cliff (Best of Austin small group tour-highly recommend!). The macarons were delicious! And a bunch of us ordered more to bring home. I wish I had more time to get the Vietnamese Cold Coffee. For any visitors, this is close by the Austin mural and a great place take pics.

A cute little quaint place with a small selection of desserts. I got an eclair and my SO got a chai.

April 21, 2023 I was on my way home (back to Galveston) and had to stop at this girly French themed bakery. I got 3 different macarons and a cortado- everything was tres' bien! Love the art on the outside of the structure and the art in the RR-1 window is staind class; it's a window of flowers!

Amazing place. Such a great gem. Très bon! Très bon! Great service with people who speak French, and the interior is very welcoming. Love it, defiantly coming back.

The CUTEST French bakery. We got the BOGO croissant & cinnamon sugar muffin, as well as two macarons. The lady behind the counter was literally the most kind and gave us good suggestions on ffe rent murals to see around Austin after we told her we were mural searching. The croissant was, and I kid you not, the most delicious croissant I've ever had. It was about an hour before close, so I know they were from the morning, but it was still the best croissant ever. The butter was slightly sweet on top, and the insides were so so perfect. Crispy on the outside, perfection on the inside- it was delicious! We sat outside on the high top table nearest the front door, and we really enjoyed ourselves with the perfect spring weather. We would LOVE to return!

Griffin asked all the questions I needed answered and was very helpful! The macaroons are DELICIOUS! Def recommend

A cute little store for macrons! Check in on Yelp for a free macron (with purchase of $7 or more).

La Patisserie is the cutest little macaroon and pastry boutique. I loved all of the bistro tables out front. I went around 12p on a Sunday, but there was still a good selection of pastries to choose from. I opted for a glazed crobrio and a slice of red velvet. It was pretty tasty! I'll definitely be back to try more of the baked goods.

La Patisserie is conveniently located to the left of the famous Greetings From Austin Mural sign. My initial plans were to stop by the mural to take a quick picture and walk to my next destination. Given that Austin was in the triple digits, it was only best to grab a drink for the road. I ordered a hibiscus tea and a salted caramel macaron. I got the last of the pre-made tea (as they ran out.. hence my cup not fully filled) and it was pretty watered down. However, I was super thirsty and chugged it. As for the macaron, I'm not a huge fan of them but have to say the salted caramel was delightfully yummy. It had the perfect flavor in the inside and slight crisp on the outside - very well baked. Cute little shop - has a great selection of macarons and drinks plus there's seating indoors and outdoors if you want to lounge. Definitely a great pit stop when visiting the mural - highly recommend!

Cutest coffee shop! Simple menu. Very clean bathrooms. They ran out of Vietnamese iced, so I got cold brew. The macarons were a bit soggy and the flavor was faint.. couldn't taste the difference between pistachio and lavender. Service is fast and polite.

Saw this cute little patisserie as husb and I were doing a mural crawl. We had to see the austin mural and I was excited to see a pastry shop as I've been craving a croissant. After we took photos we came in and grabbed a few things. I took home a croissant, pain au chocolat, and six macarons. Nothing was bad, but honestly, nothing was great. Both croissants were dense and bready- nothing like a proper croissant should be. It lacked the buttery, flaky layers and crisp (i like a shattering outside) top. The dough was weirdly sweet. As for the macarons- none of them had the crisp exterior, chewy interior. Five out of six were just chewy and the strawberry was crunchy/stale but had good flavour. Unfortunately, for me, this missed the mark.

The raspberry white mocha is the best damn coffee drink I've had in a long time. I wish we had one of these in California, but unfortunately, it'll just have to be a lovely memory.

What a cute little house-turned-bakery near the mural! I thought this spot was so great. The macarons were so well done and the variety of flavors was really pleasant. You also get a free macaron with a purchase of a certain amount if you check-in and the person working was nice enough to just give it to us after we checked out since we didn't realize it until much later! Not pictured was also the wild strawberry macaron we tried, which was really delicious. Honestly, all their macarons were fantastic - I think if I had to pick one that was my favorite, it'd be the honey lemon, but they were each delicious and unique in their own way! The tea was what you'd expect for an ice tea and hit the spot on a hot day. Overall, if you're in the area, I'd recommend this spot for their delicious baked goods and cute ambiance!

Service was good. 5 stars. Cute place with nice patio in the heart of Austin. 5 stars. Not many people at 11 am Sunday. That should have been a clue... Food: Horrible. Really really bad. We wanted to like it but the quiche had a sweet crust that was like a cookie. No, really. I never encountered anything like it anywhere. Hardly any filling. 0 stars. Beignets were not beignets. Do not expect to get beignets like in New Orleans--light, fluffy and full of flavor. Very heavy and soggy. 0 stars. Almond croissant was also oddly heavy, too, with a marzipan center that was grainy. It, too, was soggy and lacked any crispness. 1 star. Chocolate tart was ok, 2 stars. Coffee was ok. 3 stars. Not good Austin. Definitely keeping it weird!

Man, I love this little shop! Everything I've tried here has been amazing! I love the turkey cheese croissant hot or cold. The scones are great, even the gluten-free scones. All of the pastries are fantastic, but my favorite is the salted caramel eclair. It was amazing! My wife loves the coffee. The spot is adorable! A little house converted into a cafe. Very limited seating inside and out, but that matches the ambiance. There is also a drive-thru, which is super convenient. The service is always efficient and friendly.

Really enjoyed their macarons and iced tea here. We came here with family and they enjoyed their coffees from here as well! The lavender macaron is my favorite, highly recommend!

During our trip to Austin while checking out the "Greetings from Austin" mural we saw this cool macarons shop, La Pattiserie, macarons were really tasty, I just wish they had more variety and yes.

What a delicious find in this trip to austin!! Was looking for a cronut and instead found this place with a CroBrio.... omg how is this legal??! Granted it is very sweet but the filling was so spectacular- and plentiful! I loved it! Was big enough to share!! Also the location is right next to the famous Austin mural so if you go there you have an instagrammable spot right away... not to mention that the patisserie itself is suuuuper pink and cute! Come and get them: next time I'll make sure to try their croissants too!

Nice spot for coffee and a dessert; they have a shaded patio outside and are right off of 1st street so you can people watch a bit as they go to the famous Austin sign. They also have a drive-through if you don't want to go inside. They have a pretty good selection of different kinds of French pastries, including beignets, which we were excited about since we're going to NOLA soon. The people were cool and friendly, quick, and made a nice special coffee, and they have plenty of macrons, that were quite good; I'm not usually a big fan of them but they had nice flavor and weren't too sweet.

Unfortunately I think this place changed ownership and the pastries are no where near as good as they once had been. This spot used to be my go to but it's lost all it had. The workers are still super friendly and attentive but I think I will have to find a new spot. The croissant are dry and yellowed and not as flakey and buttery as they once had been

I love macaroons. Fact. I was delighted to stumble across this south austin sanctuary! Inside I found lovely pastries, coffee presentations and pleasant tables. There are also cozy bistro tables on the shaded porch outside. There is private parking and the staff was wonderful!

$18 for 2 lattes and 2 macaroons with an awful parking situation. Not worth the hype.

Disappointing croissant. It was hard and dense. My girlfriend liked her chocolate croissant. My mocha latte was good. Cute decor.

My partner and I stopped by for a little treat today and were delighted by the kind, helpful and overall pleasant the service. The woman working the counter around 3pm was just excellent! She was patient, offered an alternate solution to something we hoped to find (the garlic aioli was stellar!), and just overall charming. We left quite pleased and just felt a new pep in our step from the experience. Kudos!!!

Preface for this reviews is I'm a pastries nob. Measuring cities for its pastries quality has been my long time guilty pleasure. I live in Hanoi, where there is a huge influence of French cuisine and a strong presence of France-educated or French pastries chef in general so I am sure I have a good grip of what good French pastries and sweet delicacies should be. I have also had Laduree in France several times and have used that as a measuring stick because unfortunately, I haven't tasted better macarons else where. I am really curious about how Austin fare to these places that I have tried and decided to get two macarons from La Patiserrie. La Patiserrie is a cute shop with pink walls and playful paintings outside. They sell some viennoiseries (croissants, pain au chocolat, may be kouign amann) but was sold out when I visited. No big deal, I got the lemon and caramel macarons. They look cute, but were too sweet for my liking. They had a tougher and dry-crunchy exterior, not the crunch but still soft and moist inside. The most overpowering flavor is the white sugar. I wish there was less sugar and more fresh fruit jam or filling.

Love, love, loved this lil coffee shop. All thanks to cool painted Austin mural/post card. It's a few steps away from the landmark. It looks like it was an old house converted into a coffeehouse/dessert place. The coffee is of course delicious, and the desserts looked scrumptious. We ordered some macaroons and were not disappointed. My only complaint was that I wanted a French press coffee but it was shut down for the day when we visited. Besides that we had a great time. Tourist tip bonus! Check out the bathroom, it has a funny and cute mural about unicorns.

Awful food workers served me a quiche cold. Ambiance is alright but not very clean. Case of pastries had flies in it literally crawling around. coffee was sub par ordered cappuccino got a latte basically. Used to mess with this place but it's ran to the ground by new owners.

They had a sign on the door stating they are closed until 3pm due to repairs. A group of people were sitting outside. They saw us outside but at 3pm nothing happened. I went up to the door to ask if they are open and they let us in. It would have been nice if they had at least come out and acknowledged that we sat and waited. Absolutely no customer service and the maroons were stale tasting as if they were old. The outside is cute. Sort of reminds you of Alice And Wonderland's tea party. The inside could use some tidying up. They didn't have many options and I'm not sure if that was due to repairs. I plan to give it another try but I do hope it's better.

Cute bakery. Came in the afternoon, so there wasn't much left. We ordered a croissant, a berry tart, 2 lattes, and 1 cold brew. The tart was delicious. The croissant was good but nothing spectacular. The coffees were really good, but the amount in the cup was less than you normally get in a 12 oz drink. They advertised them as 12 oz coffees. Also, one of them came out not even warm. While it was all pretty good, I probably wouldn't go back because of the coffee size. Product didn't match cost.

This spot is so cute!! We're visiting from San Diego and I'd for sure come back. The staff member that helped us, Arden, was so kind! 10/10 would come back!

I ordered an iced chai latte, vanilla latte, and a cream puff at both of their locations. Honestly, their coffee is pretty mediocre. They don't use house-made syrup, so everything tastes generic. Their employees are really nice, which I appreciate. I wasn't the biggest fan of my cream puff, either. It was almost a bit too hard and sweet. It's definitely a really cute pastry shop, but I personally wasn't a fan. Perhaps I should be judging more on their pastries than on their actual coffee, but my two separate visits did not impress me.

Popped in on a Sunday mid-day and they still had a nice selection of pastries. The location is a sweet little house with parking in the back that opens back up to the street so you can easily get out. We tried a chocolate croissant and a beignet - very reasonable priced for a pastry shop! The chocolate croissant had 2 lines of chocolate all the way down and a nice crunch on the ends. Could have been a bit flakier, but a definite step above like a Starbucks one. The beignet was good - it's hard to make them taste as good if they're not straight out of the fryer. We will be back to try more of their items!

Really good macarons (limited other options for gluten-free). I loved their chai tea latte as well. Their packaging is so pretty too. You can definitely tell when a small local business has had their owner put their heart and soul into thinking of every detail. Edit: the main kitchen is at their Burnett location and apparently if you pre order for this location, they will send gluten-free baked good items here, such as cake slices, scone, etc. That being said, the cranberry scone I had was meh.

Food is so delicious! Got a regular croissant and a chocolate one and they were some of the best things i've ever had

I believe the donut I ate from La Patisserie to be the best one I have ever had. Donut perfection. I also loved the flaky croissant and turkey and cheese sandwich.

So, maybe I should have stuck with the cronut that everyone has been posting about, but I specifically went in with the purpose of trying a French macaron and it was awful. I have been to Paris many times and these do not fit the bill in any way shape or form. If you want something close to the real thing, head over to Elizabeth Street Cafe for their offerings as they get theirs from Swedish Hill. I also purchased a slice of vanilla bean cake and it was so dry, I threw it away after 2 bites. The staff is really nice and the bakery is super cute and for those reasons, I may swing by for the cronut and see if it tastes like the original ones from Dominique Ansel in NY.

Update: This is still my favorite spot for French macarons. They might be expensive little cookies but if made correctly, they are my absolute favorite dessert! The salted caramel is always on point and my go to. Next up is the rose and lavender which are usually out of stock. I will say that over the last few months the selection of cookies has been hit or miss as they never seem to be fully or even halfway stocked on their most popular product. Pro tip: The Annie location is more likely to be very low on product compared to the Brodie location. I've learned the Brodie location is the production facility for the cookies. So obviously Brodie is the better location.

I'm always on the lookout for a good croissant - light, buttery, flakey layers that transport one to a French breakfast Nirvana. So in my neverending search I googled "Best croissants in Austin" and La Patisserie popped up... So naturally I went out of my way to go and try one What I got instead was a croissant more dense than a neutron star; something that when I left out on the coffee table, not even my dog wanted, fearing it too heavy to bring back to her bed to gnaw on... If your croissant makes a *thud* shoud when you lightly toss it on the counter top, you have not only failed as a baker, you have brought shame to your family and community, and should be banished to the forest, or some crumbling castle in the mountains... with not even the company of anthropomorphic furniture, dinnerware, or culturally insensitive knick-knacks that and their total lack of anything with "jellies" in it [which admittedly is more german than french, so somewhat forgivable; until you realize you're baking in TX], a sparse collection of mis-shapen, chocolate drizzeled monstrosities laughably called "pasteries" and not correctly called "Crimes against Doughmanity" off-colored macaroons that genuinely activated a flight response in my lizard brain, telling me "do NOT eat this! Probably poisonous!", a grab and go selection of canned spritzers and small bottles of sparkling mixers, a total lack of clientel even during a late morning hour in the S. 1st neighborhood indicates to me this is either a place that caters exclusively to Yuppies and Dinks who need clumsey, sweet, but yet nutrient dense fascimilies of French pasteries after a hard night of dinner party drinking [I swear I tasted a hint of redbull as a 'leavening' agent] That or they are laundering money for Austin's local drug cartels... because it's hard to explain just how anyone can create a croissant that would make better construction material than breakfast food. Or how they have enough money to ensure their SEO got them tagged as "one of the best croissants in Austin"... or maybe their owner is a nepo-baby who has never actually tasted a croissant, but only seen pictures of them. The terrible alternative is that it is - in fact - one of the "best", and that possiblity is both horrifying, and an indictment of Austin's city motto... "keep it wierd" as one of perverse, reprehensible irony

Un petit boutique French bakery tucked into a little neighborhood. If you're a tourist, perfect place to stop after checking out the Keep Austin Weird mural to get yourself some treats! I'm a sucker for the CroBro (it's a Cronut, but Dominique Ansel apparently has that food trademarked?) and I got the cinnamon sugar with custard. MMM. So delicious. I was in Austin on a business trip and I rushed over to this bakery before work, so I didn't have time to sit and enjoy the atmosphere outside. I didn't even get a chance to snap a picture of the desserts! I ate my 'cronut' at stoplights while driving to work, almost dripping custard all over, but it was worth it! I should have brought an extra one or two for my colleague at Charles P. Thompson and Associates but I didn't think about it before. There was a free macaron Yelp check-in offer which was a nice surprise.

I'm on a quest to find the best bakery in Austin. This was my first stop. I went to Dominique Ansel's in New York last year, so that is the standard to which I will hold all bakeries for the rest of my life. I got eclairs, crobrios, raspberry croissant, chocolate cake and a couple other little treats. They forgot to give me the madeline I ordered, but I called and they said they would give it to me next time I was in. I ordered like 12 things...so, not the worst oversight. I got an opera cake not knowing it was coffee flavored, and threw the whole thing away. Maybe I should have known, but I wish there had been a warning. The rest of the pastries were good. The raspberry croissant could have used more raspberry filling. But isn't that always the case? Good eclairs. Crobrios aren't as good as DA, but still yummy. Smaller than I expected. Overall, I liked the treats. I'll likely be back. I'm still searching for the best bakery in Austin, but this one is in the running.

A neighborhood patisserie! Coffee and baked goods! Macaron, croissants, muffins and more. Outdoor seating is limited since it's small. Nice little mural on the front of the house - great for you instagrammers. Just next to the "Welcome to Austin" mural as well if you want to take a few pics there. Drive thru available!

FIrst of all, the crobrios are the best thing you will ever eat. I crave them weekly. However, in the last few months, they have been getting smaller and smaller. They used to be big & I wouldn't mind paying the $5 & some change to get one....but they have gotten significantly smaller and the price remains the same. I thought it was a fluke at first, but nope. They are basically the size of a single hostess donut now :( Please bring back the BIG crobrios! The small ones just aren't the same.

I came in to this cute pastry shop "La Patisserie" bc I was taking pics right next door at the " Greeting from Austin" wall. My kids & I LOVE French Macarons. These French Macarons are pretty good decent size & it taste DELICIOUS. I purchased 6 French Macarons for $13.50. 2 pistachio, 1 almond, 1 wild strawberry , 1 vanilla, and vanilla & strawberry (can't remember). Highly recommended La Patisserie if u are in the area. Love all the flavors I purchased.

Omg. My mouth was very happy. Lavender macaroon was my favorite. You have to try their kouign amann with the homemade blackberry filling.

Short line around 12:30pm on a Monday holiday. Pros: -Croissant donuts (only 1 left around 12:30pm) -Nice assortment of pastries -Some indoor and outdoor seating -Restroom -Kids area -- Croissant Donut ($5.00) Glazed croissant donut. Light sweetness from the glaze, slightly buttery chew from the croissant dough. Awesome layers. Sometimes these are filled but the one that was left was not. I would definitely try a filled one if I returned!

the cutest place ever! We were visiting and looking for the Austin sign as tourists and this cute place was next door. We went in to use the bathroom and then we saw MACAROONS! My daughters favorite dessert and I could tell they were homemade so we definitely had to buy some! We got lavender, matcha, confetti and lemon. The expert said that they were the best she's ever had! We loved them as well. The employee was incredibly kind too! Super cool vibe! We will be back to visit next time we are in Austin!

Very fine sweets. I love the madeleines & the variety of them. They sell out of many things-always a good sign. (I go to the one on Burnet Rd.

Sublime. From the aesthetic to the execution of the fresh Mille Feuille, you won't be disappointed. Definitely get the Mille Feuille. The s'mores tart is rich so make sure to grab a coffee if you're going to get it. So glad I found this place.
