French-inspired bakery café with flaky croissants & brunch
"Having expanded her business from a tiny takeout shop into a full-service daytime hot spot in the Montclair neighborhood in 2023, Keturah Fleming still proffers pastries aplenty — peanut butter-and-jelly pop tarts, pumpkin-white chocolate cruffins, and sticky buns — while also turning out composed plates to linger over. The hollandaise-topped corned beef hash with crispy Brussels sprouts is a favorite, as is the chocolate croissant French toast." - Ruth Tobias
"La Fillette is one of the best French bakeries in Montclair that just so happens to be crammed between a 7-Eleven and a nail salon. There’s a large pastry case full of buttery croissants, kouign-amanns, and chocolate-dipped eclairs, as well as a small menu of sandwiches on fresh, homemade bread for lunch. Get a tender duck confit bánh mì served on soft ciabatta with a thick layer of garlic aioli, or a bowl of hatch green chile soup—something that seems to be an unspoken requirement for most Denver restaurant menus." - allyson reedy, chelsea thomas

"Season after season, this tiny, adorable Hale outlet always has something new to savor, be it rich and buttery pop tarts in flavors like Palisade peach and apple strudel; mint or peanut butter–and–jelly macarons; key lime or maple-bacon cruffins; or blackberry-lavender or pumpkin spice scones. That’s all in addition to more traditional breads, pastries, pies, and more, not to mention custom cakes." - Eater Staff
"Charming Outremont resto Les Fillettes does a range of modern French fare, spanning from foie gras au torchon to smoked sturgeon or braised lamb cheek with polenta. The natural wine heavy drinks list boosts it all up — it’s a fraction more expensive than some spots on this guide, but worth it." - Mallory Frayn
