Clean, bright and never seems to be too crowded, this patisserie offers French classics with the Asian attention to detail. For those who prefer a lot of options for dessert, those who aim to get a little something for everyone, and also those who just want a quieter shoppe to share a drink or bite with a friend, this is the place! My son loves the animal shaped macarons and the chocolate bomb. I can't get enough of the chocolate blueberry cake (GF!) and my husband loves it all. I'm considering them for a custom cake since the Mille crepe and the mousse styles are so unique. read more

We had such a wonderful experience at A LA MOUSSE! For my son Justin's birthday, I wanted to take him to try the "viral" fruit-shaped pastries I had been seeing, and after searching, I found this beautiful café. From the moment we arrived, Kyle was welcoming and made our visit so enjoyable. The pastries were absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing. The Strawberry was my favorite, and Justin loved the Tangerine. We picked 7 treats to taste test, along with an iced latte and an hot mocha latte. Everything was fresh, creative, and delicious. This was more than just dessert -- it was a special birthday memory we shared together. A definite 10/10 experience! Thank you, Kyle, for making our visit so memorable. We can't wait to come back! -Ebony read more

Food: I got a chance to try some of the pastries. I tried the Mango: sweet and white chocolate glazed shell over a mango mouse cake. This was delicious and perfect for me as it was not too sweet. I also tried the tangerine and polar bear mousse which was also very good. Service Service was great and quick.

A La Mousse is one of my all time favorite and regular spots! You can't go wrong with anything you order, and they let you know what items contains nuts for allergy sensitive eaters. Great value for amazing quality. Don't skip this one. My go-tos are: Croissants (they go fast) Mango pastry (amazing) Every drink on the menu haha (their matcha is perfect) Birthday cakes for everyone in my life (they're all so good and come with the most helpful silverware, etc) read more

We stopped here for coffee drinks (we had a mocha latte and vanilla mocha latte ) which were very good without being overly sweet. We sampled the canele "bite" pastry which was tasty. The pastries here are exquisitely beautiful and the children's treats are so charming they will be irresistible for the little ones! Whether you just enjoy delicious and beautiful pastries or need to bring a dessert to impress, this is the place!! read more

My friend visited Saturday night with a strawberry 'roll' cake - fresh whipped cream and strawberries. Very disappointed. One of the WORST cakes I have ever eaten. The yellow cake had NO taste, the cream had NO sugar or vanilla, strawberries tasted like chemicals - did not taste like they were washed and I found a whole strawberry stuck in the cake. Just removed the cake and threw it in the trash. Truly one of the worst cakes ever. DO NOT BUY! Can you kindly refund my friend for the purchase? read more

My wife stopped over quickly to get some birthday treats for a friend and brought home a few things to try as well, including tiramisu for me to try out. Great flavor, with good balance of sweet, creamy, and the coffee taste. Texture was pretty good too. I also tried a few bites of her GF chocolate cake, which was really good as well. Hope to stop by again in the future to try out other stuff! read more

I've visited A La Mousse a couple more times since my first review and I can tell you that my opinion of their desserts has not changed. Their desserts are spot on! However, my Cherry Blossom Matcha Latte left a lot to be desired. The drink was too watery and not very sweet. For a bakery that claims to be all about sweet stuff, the drink was actually kind of bitter. I think they may have said that they didn't make enough of the cherry blossom part of it, I'm not sure, but if that's the case, maybe they should've made the drink again instead of giving it to me as it was. It wasn't very pleasant to drink at all, so I threw it out and feel I wasted my money on it. :( read more

The pastries are fresh and delicious. However, they are very expensive. Our favorites are the pecan cookies.

I learned something today. I was just in the area looking for a good cup of coffee and a place to sit and be for a while. This looked as good as any. While I was here I saw Hokkaido cheesecake. And I learned that the Japanese have their own cheesecake style. I'll say this about it. If you like rich, creamy, and sweet, this might not be for you. This is a little lighter. Not as dense. You could probably eat two slices of this and want more. But that's not a bad thing at all. It's a good change of pace when you don't want something heavy. Hazelnut cappuccino hit the spot too. This place is worthy of your time. read more

Too stupid for their own good. As of 9/3/24 they now only use paper straws. I don't support businesses that are this brainwashed and can't think for themselves. Is it that difficult to comprehend that paper and liquids don't work well together??! I don't feel sorry for any business owner this inept that goes out of business. I'm handed a drink in a PLASTIC cup and then told "we don't do plastic straws any more." Let's even give them the benefit of the doubt and pretend the cup is not plastic (it is) and it's made from 100% recycled materials...THESE SAME MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE FOR STRAWS!!!! YOU KNOW, THAT WONT DISINTEGRATE AFTER 90 SECONDS OF BEING IN YOUR DRINK! read more

I never had a mango mousse cake, probably never saw one in US, France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong .. Came here because I was nearby today. Saw this and just had to try it because I love mangos. This is the lightest cake I've ever had, and so full of mango flavors. How is this possible? The outer layer is thin, crunchy, and delicious. Inside is the lightest mousse cake with the perfect mixture of mango filling. Every bite is perfect. It is not too sweet and is even better than eating a mango. Can this be possible? You have to try it yourself. And it's not expensive ($9.50) when you see how much work has been out into making this. read more

Fresh pastries and great coffees. Service may be slow for some, but with patience it's worth the wait. Nice modern ambiance.

This is my first time ordering a cake from them. My daughter just graduated from college so I wanted to get a special cake for her. The ordering was done online, and payment was via Venmo. Correspondence was via texts, and the process was quite simple. If you look at their website there is a link where you can order custom made cakes, etc. I was impressed and glad they had many variety of cakes to choose from. One mistake I made was not specifying this was a graduation cake. I simply asked to them put "Congratulations". When my husband picked up the cake it came with a Happy Birthday topper Anyway, they cake came packaged beautifully. I chose strawberries with fresh cream, and it was reminiscent of the French style Japanese strawberry cake I grew up eating in Japan. I will definitely order more cakes from here! read more

Some things you discover through a bit of serendipity. Easter Sunday the FDC and I went to visit the Matriarch's final resting place. We like to go early before the cemetery gets crowded as it's a special day. After, we decided to stop for bagels. Ended up at a bagel place in Narberth on Montgomery Ave. impulsively I decide to also get a croissant as they looked good. It wasn't good, and FDC says hey, let's check out A La Mousse. Sure. It's a block away. Why not? I am so glad we did. It's possibly the most immaculate bakery I've ever been in, for starters. Then, the pastries, well, look at the pictures. That's not an apple, it's pastry. Stunning. I get a chocolate croissant and a Hawaiian Lemonade Tea. FDC gets an almond croissant and pastries to go. So, a break here. FDC majored in French at university and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris for a year. This woman knows pastries. She told me to write: "This. This is magnificent French-Asian pastry, combining French ingredients with a clean, delicate, delectable flavor. Not overly sweet, nor bland. This is magnificent." I have to agree, there was a lovely balance, I didn't ever feel like I was eating a sugar bowl with those pastries (the Apple Pastry we took home was amazing). My croissant was light and well laminated with just a touch of chocolate. It was delicious. Oh and that Hawaiian lemonade tea? I crave it now. Staff were friendly, polite, fun and efficient. These are not cheap pastries, and they are worth every dime. We've already been back. read more

Why come out of hibernation to post a review, you ask? Well.. this store has gotten three strikes from my family, so I want to share my experience with you to save you from disappointment. Strike 1: Our first birthday cake order from here. We picked a simple chocolate cake for hubby's birthday. He is not a fan of strawberries, so we requested the chef to make it pretty without them. For the price, the cake looked pretty lame. The chef put some chards of chocolate and a splash of some gold. But the worst part was the calligraphy of Happy Birthday. There was no elegance in that. Nevertheless, cake tasted good though, so we decided to give them another shot. Strike 2: For my 5 yo's birthday, she picked a beautiful "fairy" cake. We went to pick up the cake at 4 pm as decided only to find out that they forgot to make it. Apparently, several other people had ordered the same cake for that day, and they just missed ours. Thankfully, they agreed to delivered the cake by 6 to our house. The kids patiently waited and finally the cake arrived for the party, albeit late Strike 3: This time it is my birthday, and the family still wanted to get a chocolate mousse cake from this place despite my protests. We all picked a chocolate cream cake but requested repeatedly not to include strawberries, neither on the top nor in the middle, as per hubby's insistence. The staff made a clear note of "no strawberries" on the order slip. We went to pick up on my birthday and the person showed us the cake through a tiny window on the box under the handle. We were shocked to see the strawberries on the top, not to mention that the cake looked very different from the design we chose. No matter, we decided we could pick the berries out before we eat. There was no apology at this point. Fast forward to the evening, we cut the cake and lo!, the middle layer is lined with huge chunks of strawberries. Hubby was very upset. So we called the store to complain about this. The attendant kept us on hold for 10 minutes as he talked to the manager. When he returned to the call he asked if we were allergic to the strawberries.. the answer was no.. Phew! At least it wasn't a health hazard. But I told him that my husband really does not like strawberries and we were upset. At this point, the attendant says we have two options, 1/ a $15 gift card to the store that he will send to my phone or 2/ take the cake back and pick up another chocolate cream cake that they have ready in the store. It was very late, and we were frustrated and tired, so we agreed to take the gift card. Needless to say that I have yet to receive that text. Don't get me wrong, the cakes taste good, but for the price, their service sucks! The cashiers seem disinterested in being there and even less enthusiastic about resolving issues. Please don't rely on them to make your day special because they can't get the one job they have right most of the time. read more

This is a conveniently-located business (off of Montgomery Avenue) that serves delectable pastries, creates memorable birthday cakes, and crafts excellent coffee-based drinks. The servers are friendly and efficient with service. Some of the highlights of the pastries are the cinnamon rolls and vanilla-cream-filled beignets. My favorite drink is the cherry blossom latte--so tasty! Also, I ordered a birthday cake from here that was worth every dollar--rich icing, delectable layers, and fresh strawberries. They also provide serving utensils and plates. A special place for special occasions! read more

For my mom's birthday, I got her a little heart cake. Everything though these desserts are a little pricey, it's so worth it. My mom loved it and really got to savor the delicious taste that just melts in your mouth. The dessert is light and airy-feeling, so it doesn't feel unhealthy at all. This was a great little surprise that I got my mom, and I would totally do it again. read more

A La Mousse recently opened in Narberth in the former Juice Merchant location. Once I parked my car, I walked inside and saw the beautiful pastries sitting inside the glass containers including cheesecakes, teapots and chocolate mousse. A La Mousse also has a variety of drinks including coffees, teas and lemonade. They also had a variety of fruit lemonades. I decided to pick up a chocolate mousse and a mango lemonade. There were a variety of seats inside of La Mousse, but I decided to just take it to go. Once home, I had my chocolate mousse. It included two thin, circular sheets surrounding thick, creamy and savory chocolate mousse. It was absolutely delicious and quite filling. Also, the mango lemonade is quite different, but fairly tasty with a nice, rich mango flavor. Although, A La Mousse is fairly expensive, it's worth the price. The pastries are absolutely beautiful and very delicious. Altogether, A La Mousse serves some of the most absolutely delicious pastries and is a great addition to the Narberth/Penn Valley area! read more

Great place for desserts. Excellent selection and high quality. Wonderful, kind staff.

Friday date with the bestie and we had to make a stop here. We ended up with some cute little mousse cakes - hers lemon, mine pistachio/raspberry. Got a couple drinks and a slice of something a bit more traditional to go. Besides how beautiful their pastry case is, these little indulgent treats aren't overly sweet. I liked how crunchy the shell on mine was paired with how delicate the inside was. My date loved hers. Her mr. at home loved his... there are only a couple tables inside and we didn't stay long but liked the quiet ambiance a lot. The gal at the counter was super nice and helped me pick between things because I'm constantly afflicted with a terrible case of indecision. read more

I usually go to the Philly location but decided to check this one out. Kinda small, but super clean and has a large selection of goodies as the other location does. It's hard to not want to buy everything, as it all looks so artisan and delicious. I came here on my tea journey, and enjoyed my drink! No London fog, so I got a milk foam rose black tea. The tea was soooo good! I wasn't used to the milk foam as it was slightly salty. Different than what I was used to, but not in a bad way. Friendly staff! read more

This is the first bakery I've been to, were I've literally thought to myself...I could buy 1 of everything. I've been to this location several times and there's so much to like. The staff is friendly and helpful, the matcha teas are perfect and everything is beautiful. Do try the golden hazelnut cake, the triple chocolate cake, Japanese cheese cake, and the apple cream cake. If you are lucky to score their mini donuts, French eclairs or macarons..try them! My birthday cakes were amazing. read more

Everything looks absolutely amazing. I wanted to buy everything. It looks too good to even eat to begin with. Nothing here is too sweet. I bought a drink and desserts. This place is one of those places that I want to keep coming back to try a bite of everything. If you like matcha, this is the place for you. I wouldn't order what I ordered again, but it's good. The prices do add up pretty quickly. It's an average of $7+ per item. They have a very extensive menu, so plenty of options! read more

So the pastries are good and the tea was really nice on a hot day. Yet it still cannot erase the bitter taste of bad business practices which is what the one star is for. On google they had a coupon for free drink and dessert stating it was valid 6/29/20-7/31/20 and nothing else. This is very misleading because firstly the employee wasn't sure what I was talking about at first then proceed to say it's for $20+ purchase. When we got the $20 purchase she only gave us the drink. When asked for the free dessert she states then that we need to spend $30+. Also there was a 10% off coupon which when asked it was for "special orders only" which was never stated on the coupon. All these misleading advertisements suggests tactics of bait and switch which misleads consumers to go in. Nice food but poor business practices, we will not be going back. read more

Great addition to the area especially since the cc one is so far from me now. Beautiful decor and well made drinks. Cold foam tea is one of my fffaaavorittes. Hot oolong tea topped with a thick salty cream that confuses and delights the senses simultaneously.

OMG. Seriously the best hazelnut crunch cake thing ever. They have impeccable craftsmanship for all of their desserts. I think it's hilarious that they advertise them as healthy, though. I want 2k calories of sugar per cake, and I'm PROUD.. Think Cheesecake Factory level of decadence, but significantly tastier. 7.50 for most items here. Expensive, but worth it. read more

Delicious but expensive light desserts. Attractive and appetizing cakes and mousses with fresh light taste and definitely eye appeal.

I love A La Mousse in the city, so I was pleasantly surprised that the quality in Narberth was identical! They have almost all the same signature drinks and most of the same window pastries. The menu in Chinatown is definitely more extensive (not sure if this is because of COVID) There's a decent amount of indoor seating that is unavailable right now because of COVID, and 2 small tables outdoors (2-3 chairs per table) Definitely a great little coffee/tea and pastry shop in the area! I highly recommend if you like good quality drinks and pastries. My favorites are their milk foam teas! read more
