Our schedules finally aligned! We were able to finally try Elaine's! My husband speaks fluent French so I surprised him and decided to bring him here! The gentleman who helped us spoke French and it actually shocked my husband so he was able to order in French which he LOVED haha he was a friendly guy! We got a few items to try the strawberry cake, the tarte and an almond croissant. They were all good! We enjoyed them! Best was the cake topping that we put on the croissant ha! But it was all yummy! Personally the prices were a bit high for pastries but it was a good one time try :) everything is roughly $6 so a bit on the high side read more

Was looking for a delicious French cake for my wife's birthday and got so lucky with this random place I found. It was seriously the best cake I've ever had in my life, it was beautiful, creamy and just perfect! Highly recommend this place for all your dessert needs:)! read more

Possibly the worst pastries I've ever had and I don't say this lightly. I actually feel bad because I know it's someone trying to make it and it takes guts to open a business, but me and my husband bought five different desserts and they were all flavorless, soggy, and potentially old. You do not sell old pastries!!! The service was very nice. The gentleman who helped us was pleasant. However, do not open a business when you don't know how to make the very thing your business is about. So sorry. read more

This bakery is run by the most kind French man ever. He'll try to upsell you and it works. Every time I've gone, I've tried something new and have absolutely loved it. His pain au chocolate is amazing, and the quiche on Saturdays is out of this world. Go support his business!! read more

We love Eliane Bakery! Highly recommend showing up like an hour within opening, its always busy! My family raves about the quiche (they do a special item that rotates so check their social media for what it is). Their croque monsier was very creamy! We tried several of the pastries as well and were not disappointed. Highly recommend the chocolate cigar! read more

The food was excellent. Especially the chocolate cigar & the quiche! Those were 10/10! The eclair & croque monsieur were more of an 8.5/10. Would recommend at least anything here though!! read more

Eliane French Bakery - Croque monsieur Quiche was right above it (not pictured) - Bakeries Near Me - Lindon, Utah

This bakery offers AUTHENTIC French pastries!!! My husband and I have been going to this bakery for years. They've changed locations but thankfully we managed to find them again! I wanted something extra special for my daughters birthday and I knew she loved their raspberry Charlotte Mousse Cake which they make in a small version. They made me a heart shaped larger cake that serves eight that was absolutely stunning! C'était magnifique!!! My daughter was thrilled because it really was something of the ordinary. I love Costco chocolate cake as much as the next person, but this was SO MUCH BETTER! It was glorius! And not only did it look a picture it tasted like the freshest of raspberries suspended in a sweet cloud of mousse! You just can't get this kind of stuff anywhere else in this valley! I have purchased lemon tarts, chocolate tarts, croissants, brioches bread and macarons! The lemon tarts are so tarte and bursting with lemon flavor! The Chocolate tarts are soooooo rich and delicious! They don't have a huge selection every day and if you specifically want something, put in a special order. Please go out of your way to support this beautiful bakery! Especially now during a pandemic! It was would be such a huge loss for our community it we lost this gem!!! The owners are skilled and kind and will bend over backwards to help get you what you need for your special event! I know they have catered weddings and the like and are a capable bakery. read more

We enjoyed the Raspberry Charlotte Cake. Beautiful. Delicious, but not overbearing. Easily worth the price. My wife, who loves raspberries, was thrilled. Each berry was perfection. There was great attention to detail. A work of passion, I think. read more

Eliane French Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Lindon, Utah

We visited the bakery shortly before closing (the hours are different than what is posted on yelp, but are correct on google) and were excited to see we still had some options! We bought a lemon tart, chocolate mousse bavarois, a cream puff and a blueberry bavarois. The blueberry bavarois was amazing and my 4 year-old said the cream puff gets 100 stars! Thanks for the great food- we will be coming back! read more

I fell in love with napoleons when in Europe the first time, and now I make it a priority to seek out European bakeries wherever I am - and this place by far has the best I found in the U.S. We've been going here for years and we're so happy to find them again after they moved. All of their pastries are handmade, absolutely amazing tasting and you can tell the time and detail that goes into each. The owner is extremely sweet, straight from France and still has such a strong accent. Prices are a little higher than others around the area, but portions are a little bigger here & completely worth the extra $ bc of the flavor & detail of the baking process. Will recommend this place again & again & again! read more

Eliane French Bakery - The best Napoleons you'll find! - Bakeries Near Me - Lindon, Utah

I've been to France multiple times and I was looking forward to this boulangerie et patisserie. However, I felt a bit disappointed by all the impressions Elaine's bakery gave me. Most reviews I've read are mostly positive but when I walked into the bakery the impressions I got was that this place seems to have some problems getting enough customers. Shelves are almost bare and variety of pastries looked rather sad. The entire place screamed bad times and there was no one behind the counter...? Overall, I felt really uncomfortable standing there in the empty and quiet shop... Someone finally showed up after 5 min and he seemed really eager for us to buy more and more. However, the only breads that were on display were 4 Brioches? This is a boulangerie, non? Also got some cigars and macaroons. I'm not going to discuss my pastries in depth because there was not much to it. I would like to assume I came too late in the day on a bad day, maybe? Well the lesson I learned is: if I want to enjoy nice French foods I should just get myself a plane ticket to France... read more

Eliane French Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Lindon, Utah

If you want some really good French treats look no further. All of these are freshly made and taste amazing. Being from Northern Virginia and having lived overseas, I would never imagine finding a bakery place that could match up to my go two place back home. This is by far is the best bakery place in the Utah County area and everyone should come check it out and try it. Also, the owners speak French, so if you know French you can talk to them in that too. Their food taste authentic and it's a great place to grab a snack. (More than sweets there, drinks, quiches and bread etc.) Family owens and run. Try it!!! 139 S State St #7, Lindon, UT 84042 read more

The chocolate cigar is divine! I also got the raspberry mousse and was let down after the chocolate cigar haha. I went on a Thursday afternoon and should go earlier in the week or day because there weren't any bread options. The man that helped me was very nice. I also wish I could've just bought one thing with my card but had to buy two for the $10 minimum with a card. read more

We've been going to Eliane's French Bakery for several years--since he had a place in Orem. I was a French teacher and took my students there to try authentic French food. Eliane was so kind, and spoke French all the time, so the kids and I could practice the language. My family and I have also enjoyed the quiche, croque monsieurs, pastries, and bread, made fresh each day, even though we live in Davis County. Eliane always greets us with a smile and has yummy suggestions for us. Some of the options need to be ordered 24 hours in advance. Last week, we were in the area packing and cleaning at my father's house close by, so we ordered a whole quiche for the family to share. Even though I had missed an email telling me the bakery would not be open until later, the quiche was brought out to us hot and fresh. It was a meal for the stomach AND the heart as we were tired and a little sad. We are happy to benefit from Eliane's gift with food and appreciate that he shares his talents of cuisine and friendship with us. Definitely go enjoy his creations! read more

It was a Friday. I was in Provo. There were multiple bakeries involved. This is my life. After stuffing myself on a college mixer lunch (long story) I decided to tour the valley a bit and partake of baked goods. I'm not very familiar with Provo, but Eliane showed up on the Yelp app and I'm not one to ever avoid any promise of a pastry. When I arrived.... well, let me back up. Before I arrived I had to back up. I drove past it, then by the address turned in to the small development and only found it on the south end when I saw the sign that said French bakery. It's on State St, but it doesn't really feel like it's immediately ON State Street. More like, turn in at about 1700 and take the frontage parking lot. Well, she ain't much to look at on the outside or on the inside. But she's not that bad. Just... not "cutesie" or really even decorated at all. I walked in to find a rather large welcome area with a single cash register and several large bakery cases. They weren't very highly populated, so it did feel a little lonely. Plus there wasn't a human in sight. Soon enough the owner (I presume) came out and greeted me. With a smooth French accent he asked what I wanted, and I opted for the pain au chocolat--one of 6 in the case. It was either this or an eclair, but with several bakeries on my list I thought it best to avoid the heavy stuff. A couple of dollars later and I was on my way. The proof is in the pastry, and this didn't disappoint. Light, buttery, but not so very dry as many other croissants are wont to be. No, this was just the right texture and with just enough chocolate. This fella knows what he's doing. I'd go back to try more stuff in a heartbeat. So I can't say much for the business side, and it could use some polish when it comes to the presentation and marketing--but I wouldn't change a thing in the ovens. read more

I had lemon mousse cake, blueberry mouse cake, and Napoleon Mille-feuille. They were so good and I love this place! Their mouse cakes are delicious!! They are not too sweet like American store bought cakes. read more

Out of the goodies I've sampled, my faves: butter croissant, pain au chocolat, cream puff, lemon tart, chocolate eclair, and the fruit tart is my favorite in the valley (ha, I consider myself a connoisseur of fruit tarts). The texture of the crust is not too hard/crispy (though someone complains about it being rock hard in another review, maybe a bad day for the fruit tarts?), and the cream is delicious and doesn't have that shortening/waxy feel on the tongue. I would love to see fresh peaches rather than canned though... The owner is incredibly friendly. His mother's name is Eliane. He is from the once occupied French-occupied Tahiti with a thick French accent--so super nice. He sticks to the French custom of saying "Bonjour" when entering and "Au revoir" when saying good bye, in fact, he says it more than once until you say it back. read more

There are a few items that are delicious. For the most part I would NOT say things are comparable to true French patisserie. I will say that the owner can be VERY rude. We have arranged to pick up special order items (during off hours) . We called ahead and confirm pick up. When we arrived, he did not answer the phone, and threatened to call the cops on us if we ever knocked on his door again. He told us our item would not be ready for another 4 hours! Not only rude, but completely unprofessional! read more

I love this bakery. It has high quality French pastries. I haven't had anything I didn't like. Recommend highly!

Excellent service and amazing food will transport you to a small patisserie in France. You owe it to yourself to experience the delicious desserts, everything is incredible. Come back frequently on Saturdays for different savory dishes (my favorite part honestly). Not to mention the prices are amazing for what you're getting. Skip the chain, come to this charming taste of France. read more

If you haven't visited Eliane and tried their fruit tart, you're missing the kind they have in France. Not the kind they make at Kneaders or Zupas, or even T-Point, but in Paris. The mille faille ("Napoleans") are truly a thousand layers of really thin, yummy pastry embedded in a not-too-rich creme. Their pan-o-chocolat is the best in Utah, IMO. Jacques (that's his name, but I'm making up the spelling) is warm, friendly, inviting, and tries to remember customers' names. I don't understand the one reviewer who said Jacques was rude...it's simply not in his nature, so I'm inclined to believe it was more the customer. The baguette is true-life, thin-crust French, not french bread from Wally World or Albertson's. If you're after French patisserie, this is the place for you. If not, you'll still enjoy their delights. And if you really prefer something less authentic, McDonald's is just a couple of blocks away. read more

Love this place! Going tomorrow to grab a few pastries! We are always so glad after we go.

This is such a warm and inviting bakery. The pastries here are absolutely delicious, I highly recommend the fruit tart whenever you feel like treating yourself. The owner is such a kind person, he truly cares about his customers and his food. This is a bakery everyone in the area should visit. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The owner is such a nice guy and the stuff he makes is great. All I can say is two words, Chocolate Cigar. If I were a weaker man, I would end up weighing 300 Lbs. read more

An authentic French bakery in Orem, Utah? You bet your quiche! And they serve quiche too... The pastries are amazing. I just wish the location was more centrally located, this place deserves tons of business!! We sampled about four different pastries~ napoleons, tarts, mousse cake, croissants and each was a mouthwatering delight... Give the French Bakery a visit....it's practically like visiting Paris without the crowds and jet lag! read more

This is the best bakery I have been to in Utah Valley. Easily. The food is delicious, the sweet treats are delicious. I've gone to other places that people rave about, but Eliane's always makes every other bakery pale in comparison. They have the best pastries in the valley and it's the best little hole in the wall place I have ever found in my life. I tell all my friends about it. read more

This was such a great find! The raisin custard croissant was delicious. I have never been to Europe, but I imagine this is what the food tastes like. read more

I've tried to go here three different times during posted business hours but it's been closed every time. Je ne sais pas quoi dire. If I ever get to actually try the food, I'll let you know... read more

Love this place for my dose of European desserts. Not sure about other's experience with the owner but he is always very nice and smiley whenever we're there. I always ask him what I should get each time and he helps me with my indecisiveness. I'm especially fond of the raspberry mousses. It is light and sweet but not overbearing, a perfect summer dessert. I also am a fan of the french macarons, some people can really mess it up but not here. I've also tried their quiche and they were decent, not too dry. The atmosphere and store is pretty simple, almost too simple. It could use a little sprucing up but it hasn't stopped me from hanging out there to enjoy my desserts. My only complaint would be that they run out quickly so my options are sometimes limited despite coming way before closing time. read more

Stong work, Elaine French Bakery. The owner is a sweet French gent who bakes amazingly delicous pastries himself every morning. Sweets include custardy pain au raisin, luscious macaroons, and tender eclairs. He has a buttery Quiche Lorraine, as well as fresh baguettes every Wednesday and Satuday. Utahans, dont expect something intensely sweet. This is a traditional French bakery with amazing, authentic French pastries, breads and quiches. What a gem! read more

The reviewers who talk about the owner's rudeness are right: he isn't always rude, but he can be very rude. He's nicer if you speak French--but from a previous review it looks like he doesn't like small talk about his personal life. (He's Tahitian, and Tahiti is a French territory. I assume that he has lived in France at some point.) The shop has the strangest hours for a bakery: 11-6? Can't go before work and it's difficult to get there after work. The shelves are often empty and the baguettes are, unfortunately, not always fresh, though the proprietor will tell you if they are not. On the day they are baked, they are good, not great. The pastries are generally good, not great, but the selection is sparse. The lunch quiches are pretty good, but I can seldom get there during the lunch hour. I would be here all the time if the hours were more convenient and the bread were always fresh and better. read more

Nice people. Good brioche. I worry that they don't get enough business, as some of their stuff didn't look as fresh as they'd like it. The owner is very nice, and what I bought was a pretty good value. We made french toast that night with the brioche, then used the leftovers for croque madam sandwiches the next day. Very good. read more

INCREDIBLE! I will go just to visit with the owner. The sweetest man you will ever meet! He is so very friendly and the sweets and quiche are to die for! Just go!!! You will love it! Thank you for putting a smile on our face! read more

Ever have one of those days were you just crave for something ..... FRENCH!! Well, you might not believe this but this place is LEGIT!! From the outside it really doesn't look like anything special but once you go inside you know that you are about to eat something special. Every time I stop by for some quick craving cruncher I am met by the same friendly owner. He has the strongest french accent and really makes you feel like you are in France. One thing to watch out for is that he is always trying to get you to buy more. But because he is so friendly and nice it sometimes hard to say no to one more strawberry tart. This place is really good guys. Don't miss out. read more

So good!!! Not to much sugar and so flavorfu!! will be back for sure! Oh my gosh utah needed this!! 10/10 recommend!

The mille-feuille (napoleon) was soggy, and the flan (their take on creme caramel?) was curdled. I forced both of them down because I hate to waste food. The tarts were also a tad burnt, and the shells were rock hard. The baguettes were not very crusty or authentic - essentially white bread shaped into baguette-like tubes. The flavors were nothing notable, and most of the pastries lacked the proper amount of butter and flakiness. The owners are very friendly, and I would be thrilled to see a full-fledged patisserie in this area, but I am a little bummed that I spent $20 on a bunch of incredibly mediocre pastries. I think this place has potential if they use higher quality ingredients and continue to practice or go to pastry school. read more

This place is legit. The cream in the Napoleon was OMG delicious. The cookies have just the right amount of sweetness. If you are a lemon lover, you must get the lemon tart. The pain au chocolate (chocolate croissant) was heavenly. read more

Great little unexpected bakery ! The Napoleon was delicious-- light, crunchy, buttery layers with custard goodness, the cigar also had a really nice pastry wrapping up a nice light chocolate custard..the lemon tart and eclairs were tasty as well. There was a whole table with 11-12 yo boys all eating various pastries next to us-- they said they come everyday. Try it out! read more

I lived in Mons, Belgium for three years and visited dozens of French and Belgian patisseries. Eliane French Bakery is better than most I visited and compares favorably with some of the best. The buche de noel is the highlight of any special Christmas dinner and as goods as I've had anywhere in Europe. All of their pastries are excellent with my favorite being the almond and chocolate croissants, Paris-Brest, and chocolate cigars. The quiche Lorraine is outstanding and an excellent value for a hearty lunch. What a pleasant surprise to have an authentic high quality French patisserie in Utah Valley. read more
