Le Dix-Sept Patisserie in the Mission whips up vibrant, botanical-inspired French pastries with a fresh Bay Area twist and stunning buttercream art.
"Pastry chef Michelle Hernandez is dishing out exceptionally artful cakes, brioche, canelés, nougat, and more at new Potrero Hill bakery Le Dix-Sept Patisserie. Thanks to the addition of a sheeter, she’s also delving into croissants and other layered pastry styles. Stop by for glazed sweet potato Danishes, silky pistachio croissants with fragrant notes of orange blossom, and chai palmiers." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Pastry chef Michelle Hernandez’s Mission-based bakery Le Dix-Sept Patisserie has one of the best canelés in town, and thanks to a fall 2024 expansion into Potrero Hill, now two neighborhoods get to benefit. But even if you’ve tried the Mission shop, the Potrero space is considered to be the flagship now that Hernandez finally has a kitchen to call her own; take advantage and order the freshest pastries of the day, which include seasonal offerings such as a recent autumn cake with rose and vanilla bean layers." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
"Le Dix-Sept Patisserie in the Mission, opened in 2020, is temporarily closing for a few weeks during the transition to the new flagship location in Potrero Hill, but plans to reopen for the holidays and host private events." - Becky Duffett
"Le Dix-Sept opened its first storefront in the Mission with a beautiful array of botanically inspired pastries. In addition to technical French treats like canelés and nougat, pastry chef Michelle Hernandez is a buttercream artist, crafting cakes in lavender and rose hues, with leaves and petals climbing up the sides. Whole cakes are still available for custom orders, and the petite cakes might be just the right size for smaller servings." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett
"Nougat Gift Box ($36) The bakery in the Mission specializes in desserts made with botanical ingredients, like flowers and fruits. And for the holidays, you can order a box of nougat made with mangoes, figs, or pumpkin seeds. They also ship throughout California." - julia chen 1
