I love the place and their service the staff is amazing and welcoming always. I moved from Pa and this one of the places i will miss

After hearing rave reviews about Delice et Chocolat, I finally was able to swing by. Though the weather was gloomy, Delice's interior was warm and inviting, with whimsical macaron window displays plentiful seating spread across the cafe and bakery sections of the shop. Unfortunately, since it was late afternoon on a weekend, they were sold out of most items. (We had been warned by our friend that Delice often completely sells out, so we were just happy there was anything left at all!) We ended up with a strawberry mousse cake and a tiramisu ($5/ea). The lady behind the counter was attentive, friendly, and careful in packing up the cakes. Both cakes were absolute winners - the tiramisu had all the flavors of a traditional tiramisu, but was presented in such a beautiful French style that really elevated the dessert. The strawberry mousse was a bit sweet for me (definitely catered more for the American sweet tooth), but the fresh fruit flavors really shone through and again, the cake had a lovely presentation. The lady who helped us informed us that the pastry chef is from France (and we got to peek into the kitchen to see the pastry team hard at work whipping up more macarons), and the high level of training really shows in each stunning pastry. Will definitely have to find an excuse to stop by again and try some of their other cake flavors! read more

I came here today, Sunday, August 20, to spend some quality time with my daughter before she heads back to college. We were really looking forward to it, but ended up having a miserable time instead. When my daughter and I went up to the counter to order, the man at the register took my daughter's order and completely ignored me as if I did not exist. Then I spent the next 15 or 20 minutes waiting for an iced latte I paid for while I watched three or four other customers receive their drink orders. Presumably, if I had not complained, my drink would never have been brought out. My daughter's sandwich consisted of three skinny pieces of mozzarella served on stale baguette bread. It was topped with wilted lettuce and a tasteless hothouse tomato along with a thin smear of pesto. For this pathetic sandwich, we paid $11.00. In sum, the food was poor and overpriced. The service was rotten. The waitstaff was at best apathetic, and at worst passive aggressive. We will not be back, and I encourage all to take their business elsewhere. read more

Incredibly pastries and more! Friends take their goodies back to Europe. They're that good!!!

I am not one to express negativity during this process, however it was both irritating and frustrating to walk into this location and find myself ignored when I am attempting to try your product or services. I found myself standing at the counter waiting for another customer to complete their order, just an aside, I stand 6feet 2inches and 260 pounds, not exactly invisible. No hello, I will be with you, just a moment sir, hang on buddy we are busy; four people behind the counter no one looked my way. NEVER GOING BACK read more

Upon entering this place there was no greeting... When i asked for a descripton of what flavors and content of gift box of choclates ... the nice counter person had no clue ... Nor did any of her coworkers ... These people should have some idea of what they are selling because of food allergies... Absolute disgrace ! read more

FDC is most definitely a Francophile. She studied at the Sorbonne. Her degree is in French Literature. So, when her half-century birthday came, I made a point to stop at Delice et Chocolat for their macaroons. They are her favorite. The shop is tucked in a row of c 1900-1925 storefronts directly next to the Ardmore Train Station. The space is bright and sparkling, not cluttered, with bakery cases not so full of items by the time I got there because they make everything by hand each morning. When it's sold, there are no freezer cases full of more inventory to sell. This is the real deal, so get there early. They were as nice as could be in helping me select a variety of macaroons for FDC, and my order was packaged nicely. They've recently expanded to the next storefront over (where Radio Shack was for many years) and are now serving lunch items. Price was not inexpensive but reasonable for quality hand - made fresh baked goods. Parking is not the easiest, however for a fairly quick dash in on a weekend I was able to park in the train station lot. There's some metered parking on the street and a public lot 1/2 a block away. Also, the train is literally right there as are the bus stops, so very transit friendly. FDC was ecstatic, said theirs are the closest she's had to when she was studying in France. I'll definitely be back. read more

Delice et Chocolat offers an extensive selection of French lunch and dessert foods. The main room off of Lancaster Ave offers soups, salads, sandwiches, sweet and savory crepes, gelato, pastries, smoothies, drip coffee, and espresso and tea beverages. The back room off of Station Ave offers more decadent items, like macarons, cheesecake, and beautiful layered desserts (maybe dacquoise? Opera cake? Mille-feuille?). I ended up ordering an apple tart and English breakfast tea. The apple tart was very good. The pastry crust was light and flaky, and stayed crisp even under the rich custard and apple filling (no soggy bottom!). The apples were baked well, though I would have liked for them to be a bit more tart to cut through the sweet custard. Coupled with my tea, the tart was a delicious afternoon snack. Although this cafe's large menu was slightly overwhelming (the cashier, for example, did not know all the tea options), I would love to come back for another lunch, dessert, or caffeinated beverage. read more

I FINALLY was able to go to this bakery! Wish it wasn't during COVID, but better now than never. I appreciate the safety precautions that they are taking - only enabling 1-2 customers in at a time and of course everyone wearing a mask. Since I went a bit past noon, the selection was small, which I was sad about - lesson learned. With that said, I was able to get their croissants, chocolate croissant, caramel/coconut lime macarons, apple crostata, lorraine quiche, and tomato/mozzarella sandwich. Long story short - I need to come again! For the details... - I'm not a huge fan of macarons and truth be told, coconut either. With that said, I loved these! The cookie was soft and the cream inside wasn't too sweet. - Sandwich was delicious - the bread was tasty with a crusty outside and soft inside, their pesto with the tomato and mozzarella - yum! - Croissants were solid - I like the outside with a bit more crunch, but it was still buttery yumminess - Quiche was also great - creamy with enough salt from the bacon Can't wait to try other things when I go in the morning next time as well as their desserts! read more

delice has phenomenal cakes, and ive heard even more amazing things about all of their pastry/bread options. i'm not sure if they've changed their workers/practices the last i've been, but the coffee is just not good. their cold brew is insanely weak in flavor, and their espresso always tastes oddly burnt. read more

EXCELLENT FOOD. Very kind welcome . Perfect place to relax for a two hour ladies lunch-- and that's exactly what we did. J'adore cet endroit! read more

Excellent food, coffee, and pastries. Very cute inside as well if you're going to sit down and eat here.

I have been here numerous times and everything is delicious. I originally came here because finding good fresh French macarons in the suburbs can be difficult. They are very very good here, but what I find amazing are their cakes. I understand at first glance they might be a bit pricy for the size, but looking at the beautiful layers and intricate yet delicate flavor profiles make them soooo worth it. I've tried the chai latte and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate is not powdered or some mix. I'm not exactly how much chocolate/cream is in it but it is ridiculously rich. read more

I have never had a macaroon or a croissant before. so glad it was from here, literally amazing. from flavor to consistency

Best croissants, especially the almond. Always the same high standard baking and service. Easy parking and great hours. Great business. Congratulations! read more

I visited here with a few friends for the first time and I am positive this is not my last! I was awestruck with the beautifully decorated pastries on the one side and the main part of the restaurant had more appetizing pastries and savory dishes (quiches, crepes, etc). I needed coffee so that was the first order of business. I ordered a vanilla latte and chose to have a spinach feta croissant nearest to the cashier. While I was waiting, I noticed the barista was steaming the milk and it was not "screaming" (you know, that piercing whoosh sound some people make when they're essentially burning the milk lol). I knew it was going to be good and I told the barista! lol The croissant was awesome and full of flavor in every bite. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures this time around because everything was so good and I ate and drank too fast! Next time, though. I will definitely come back to sit around and enjoy more of what they have to offer. The quiche is next! read more

Great cortado! Love this cute little place! Everything I've eaten there has been excellent!

Great place for bakery style goods for the road or sitting down with a nice quiche or superb croque monsieur!!!!

I heard amazing things about Delice et Chocolat from friends and on Yelp, so I decided to check it out for myself. When I walked in I was greeted by the sight of hard-wood floors, a few tables and glass-paneling allowing for a view of the bakers. Best of all, they had a large glass display filled with a variety of treats including cakes and macarons. I decided to get a couple chocolate macarons and a piece of the chocolate mousse. All I can say, is that they were both amazing! I thought the macarons were the best! The outside was crunchy, but not too hard and the inside was filled with delicious filling! The chocolate mousse was also really good. It had a great proportion of mousse and cake. It was perfectly topped off with chocolate shavings on top. Also, I liked how it was not too sweet. They also sell drinks here including smoothies, coffees and hot chocolate from melted chocolate! The staff here was really nice and gave me tips on what I should get! She also suggested I refrigerate everything once I get home. In the future, they plan on selling gelato and ice cream and adding a chocolate bar. Altogether, this is a great shop that is a great addition to the Ardmore community! read more

I guess I just don't buy into the hype of places like this. It's beautifully decorated and very clean but the prices are quite high in this tiny cramped spot. It was difficult to maneuver anywhere including leaving when I took my items to go as there were no seats. My small latte was very good, the croissant was really nothing special and was small for the price tag. There were only 3 flavors of macarons left when we got there and none of them sounded great so I did not try. Maybe that's the only thing they do really well? I guess I have to try again and see. They do seem to be expanding but as it stands it's too cramped to be comfortable in there. Will update hopefully after they have expanded. read more

OMG. Desert nirvana. Former pastry chef of 20 years at Le Bec Fin says it all. Tried two pieces of their cake and can't decide which is better...both were incroyable! Macarons were also fabuleux. Everything was decadent without being too sweet or rich. Perfect balance. Beautiful presentation. Will absolutely be back to try more deserts and their savory options. One of the only places in the US that I would compare to the pâtisseries in France. Bravo! read more

Delice Et Chocolat - Spectaculaire!!!! May just be the Best pastry shop in the Philadelphia area. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Two checks-ins from the same week... They weren't open on Monday though... The door was open, I walked in to a dark room and I was greeted by two pleasant women, but they weren't open... I came back later in the week and bought some incredible Macaroons... An eight pack for my wife and I to split of various flavors. These could have been the best I've ever had... Some were better than others, but it was perfection for the most part. We buy and make macaroons often and I'm shocked these aren't more expensive... Incredible foods and now I have to come back more often. So glad it's located close to my work and I can't wait for them to expand into the next building. read more

My mother lives in Ardmore and there aren't many coffee shops with such good pastries where you can just hang out and chat with friends. I like coming here to relax with my family (other than being at their home). The aesthetics here are nice and bright - all white minimal decor and lots of open space. Some outdoor seating as well sometimes, if the weather permits. They have great iced coffee, croissants, and plenty of options if you need! Besides croissants, I think they have other good pastries, but I haven't tried them yet. Just very loyal to croissants since my mom is all about it. Great spot - hope they stay in business and prosper even more. We need more cute little joints like this. read more

Amazing cakes, macarons, and espresso Very fairly priced Highly recommend Will be back again read more

Like the delicious and good looking cakes, multiple layer gives different taste, rich flavor.

Was kinda average.. idk what else to say. The pastries was filled with air, not what they were supposed to be filled with. Definitely not french. I'm going to acme bakery now to satisfy my sweet tooth read more

I've only had the chance to try the cakes here, but they are amazing. I had a custom cake ordered for a birthday party and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful cakes I've seen! Not only that, but it tasted incredible. I will definitely be back to try some more things! read more

Ok I wish I could give 4.5 stars. The food - why your probably reading this - is delicious. Great espresso/coffee drinks made properly, delicious salads (the quinoa one is a fave), and the desserts are OMG AMAZING. But.....the service is slow and the seating is limited. Maybe it was just the day I was there but I waited 15+ minutes for my salad (keep in mind this is a spot where you order at the counter and your food is brought to you). This place would REALLY benefit from a large communal table!!! read more

I was here a few weeks ago. The food was pretty good, nothing too special though. The reason this is 2 stars is because of the service. The woman the took my order did not look at me even once. She barely said anything and there was not even a "thank you" or "have a nice day". read more

Delicious croissants! We had a blueberry one (amazing) and the standard pain au chocolate, which was also good but I preferred the fruit one. read more

This is definitely one of the best pastry shops in the surrounding area! The owners are from France, so expect to get authentic and beautifully made pastries! I ordered the Fiji (made with coconut lime mousse, key lime center, mango gelee, lady finger and almond coconut base) and I also had the their strawberry shortcake. These were the pretties desserts ever The quality and details were amazing! I highly recommend this place! Make sure to visit as early as possible because a lot of things sell out by late afternoon. read more

Very disappointing. I went in hoping to purchase a cake for a dinner party, only to learn that cakes are made to order and need a 24-hour window. That's reasonable, during COID, so I ordered a chocolate croissant. I found it barely above the frozen variety. The pastry was terrible, not nearly enough buttery flaky goodness, and there wasn't much chocolate inside. I won't go here again. read more

This place is not going to last unless they step it up in a lot of ways!!! Rules#1- Service is spotty and if you don't speak good English, you shouldn't be working with English speaking customers in an upscale joint. It's true what someone else mentioned; no one greets you and give you the layout or the plan with the two rooms. It's very pricey and sometimes a long wait for no apparent reason. Surly cook staff. Rule #2Rule #! Do NOT run out of croissants, chocolate or almond croissants & pastries even if you have to donate a few leftovers to food shelters. Unacceptable. If I have finally found a parking spot, paid the meter, walk in and for the third time at 2 p.m.,you have none, then you shouldn't be in business. I have been disappointed several times. After her first bad experience in there, a spendy friend of mine vowed never to come back. What is the weird crust on the cheesecake? It needs the recipe reworked..the little sprinkles aren't good either. This laissez faire philosophy heavily impacted economic policy during the industrial revolution of the 1800s and might work in France but it's not how business is done in the US. Too bad, the bro working the front seems nice but again, they need help or they will be gone soon. Too bad, it has potential to be something good. read more

I'm thinking about making Delice et Chocolat my permanent residence. I've been a consistent visitor for the past few months and I have yet to be let down. These lovely people simply don't know how to make a subpar pastry! My personal recommendations are their savory pastries and the raspberry cream cheese croissant. read more

Five stars. No question. The Piedmont tiramisu was downright divine. It was delicate, it was proud. The hazelnut flavors blended perfectly with the chocolate. The crunchy layers gave way to light fluffy layers of chocolate deliciousness. The twirls of chocolate that graced the top of the tiramisu were artistic and playful. The cappuccino was among the best I've ever had. It was strong as a horse. The crema lingered just long enough and the foam was created to showcase the barista's design skills. These guys are good. read more
