Delicious baked goods. First time here and the they had all kinds of pastries and cakes. But the star of the show was the fresh croissants. As we were there they brought out hot plain croissants! They were delicious! We also got a fresh loaf of bread, it was nice. We made a sandwich the next day with it. Staff was so nice and sweet! Will definitely be going back! read more

Located in a small strip mall that's fast becoming a foodie destination, it's exciting to find pastry chef Yves François at work here. Paris-born and classically trained in Bordeaux, his French pastry pedigree is obvious the moment you step inside and see the beautifully executed display - the work of a true professional. I tried the Almond Croissant and loved it. This isn't the ultra-airy style; instead, it's more cake-like in the center, with beautifully flaky, crisp layers on the outside. Outstanding. The chef also mentioned a batch of Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies that had just come out of the oven, and of course I had to grab a bag (3). These were impressive as well -- soft and chewy in the middle with crisp edges. I feel like I will enjoy anything I select here. I really enjoyed meeting the chef and having the chance to talk with him about his craft, as well as chefs we both know in Paris and New York. We're lucky to have a shop with this level of talent right here in Delray Beach. While there, I also enjoyed seeing the steady stream of repeat customers, to see what their favorites were. Chef's Walnut Cinnamon Raisin Bread will definitely be part of my next order. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Starting off the year on a sweet note with a review for this amazing locally owned and operated French bakery. My favorite item is the chocolate croissant, made with high-quality ingredients. It's buttery, flaky, and wonderfully decadent. While the Oreo cookies weren't my personal favorite, the chocolate chip (three to a bag) are excellent and definitely worth grabbing. The sandwiches sound really good, especially the brie with garlic herb on a baguette, which is next on my list to try. This small artisan bakery is run by Yves Francois, who has been classically trained in Bordeaux, France. Thank you Chef Yves for bringing your delicious bakery to Delray. read more

Came to L'atelier after eating lunch and not expecting to get a whole lot, just a little snack for later. I knew immediately when I stepped inside that was not going to be the case. I got a baguette, coffee eclair, strawberry tart, kouign-amann, regular and chocolate banana bread and a regular croissant (as they just came fresh out of the oven) I had the croissant immediately. It was warm, flaky, airy, buttery, everything a croissant should be! The coffee eclair was insanely creamy and they so not skimp on the filling! Nice coffee flavor, not too overpowering. The kouign-amann was heated up so it was a bit softer. Great caramelization. I cant speak about the baguette, banana breads or the tart, but those will definitely be taken down later! The woman who served us was also incredibly kind. For about $45 this was a steal! Will definitely be back! read more

An out of town friend told me to go to one place in Delray Beach- L'atelier Des Pains. When I pulled up to a random strip mall, I got excited. What a gem! L'atelier Des Pains didn't disappoint! It's a tiny bakery with croissants, pastries, cakes, and more. Everything in the display looked amazing. I ordered the double chocolate almond croissant. The man behind the counter warmed it up for me. It was very big and messy, but tasted good. The bottom texture was a little off so I wouldn't order it again, but the taste was there! There are a few tables outside and window seating inside. read more

Friendly service. Excellent croissants. Nice place to enjoy a coffee and a pastry. My only complaint, i placed a large order for Christmas eve. The place was unorganized and no number system. One of the items ordered was missing. It was a crazy busy evening and there was no system in place other than stand around and note your place at the counter counter . read more

Tiny bakery, everything super fresh. Not a gigantic selection, but excellent quality. My only quibble...I was the only customer, I ordered a plain croissant and a slice of chocolate banana bread to go. Not too difficult. But when I got home, I saw I had been given plain banana bread instead of the chocolate. Not a crisis, and it was good, but it would be nice if they got such a small order right. read more

The day we visited, Chef Yves was making a custom Kings bread. So not only did everything in the case look fabulous, the place smelled amazing. it was a hard decision, but we went with a croissant, a chocolate-pistachio croissant and an éclair. I'd go back for the croissants. I'm sorry I didn't know about this place during the holidays. I want to try the chef's Bûche De Noël and galette de rois. read more

We recently took a drive from Miami to visit the "Egyptian Pharaohs: From Cheops to Ramses" exhibition at the PBS studios. As we made our way back, we spotted a sign at a nearby shopping mall that piqued our interest, leading us to stop for a little treat. L'atelier Des Pains. What a fantastic decision that was! The treats were absolutely delicious. The highlight, however, was the warm and welcoming service we received from Lisa. Her friendly demeanor and genuine kindness made our visit even more special. My little one was in love. I wish we lived closer! This unexpected stop turned our outing into something memorable, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area or passing through. Don't miss out! read more

Where is this new French bakery?! It is in Delray's foodie plaza, along the East side of Congress between Atlantic and Woolbright. L'atelier is in good company alongside Rogie Pierogies, Ana's Killer Empanadas, and Proper Ice Cream. There is a tall counter that faces the front window with some stools inside and some chairs and tables outside. I really enjoyed being able to get a baguette and sourdough bread along with my eclair, apricot pastry, and a couple of other delectable looking items. I will definitely return. I love a good bakery, and I would love to try more things. I don't mind paying for specialty items. But there is nothing in the store that tells me anything about the owners, the ingredients, the technique, etc. I appreciate that info. Also, I get paying for something particularly French or difficult to make like pastries, but chocolate chip cookies are just cookies. I cannot justify paying this much for a cookie no matter how amazing it might be, unless it is super large, made with organic ingredients, etc. Suggestions to owners: -cut up items for samples because trying something is often the key to wanting more of it -offer some daily specials or limited items: don't change what you make but make the items seem more exclusive -use a Yelp Check-In Offer -Have at least 1 thing be cheap-ish! I would have loved to buy a bag of madeleines if they were just a tad cheaper. read more

Where I work, we have clients coming in from all directions. I was talking to a client and his wife. Somehow, we got on the topic of bakeries. They mentioned one just up the road, probably a bit more than a mile. I had to do some running around one morning and was coming back to and stopped by. It is a small place, I had a very hard time deciding what to bring back to the office. I could not get 3 different things, but I also could not bring back one of everything. There are only 3 of us here so I bought 3 Napoleons. Holy crap! I got to go back and try more things! The one I want the next time is the Champs E'lysses! Go there! read more

I've wanted to try this French bakery for a while & today was the day. Every cake, pastry & croissant was a work of art. The smell of butter permeated the shop. We left with a bag with 3 delectable chocolate chip cookies that were the best I've had in Florida. The breads @ sandwiches were appealing too! read more

A very good friend of mine told me about this new French bakery that opened in Delray, so I had to give it a try! It's a quaint little storefront with a couple tables outside to eat, that offers a variety of pastries, breads, desserts, and sandwiches. They offer hot coffee varieties,and have a cooler full of soft drinks, juices,and waters. I was immediately greeted by the owner and pastry chef, Yves. He was very friendly and helpful, and had a sweet, but well deserved, pride in his new space. After looking around a bit I decided on a chocolate and almond croissant, an almond croissant, and Yves even through in a little chocolate pastry for me. Each thing was better than the next! I'm not even going to acknowledge how many calories I may have had for breakfast, but I don't regret it! Delicious!! If you're looking for a yummy French bakery, give L'atelier Des Pains at try!! You won't be sorry! read more

What an amazing artesian French bakery. We asked Yves The the owner to do a custom cake for my daughter's birthday. I can only tell you that it is probably one of the best cakes I have ever had in my life. The baguettes, well they're exactly the way you would expect if you were in Paris, wonderful, fresh, perfect crust in that amazing chewy interior. Let's not start on the croissants and the pastries....... read more

A true hidden gem in Delray Beach! Tucked away in a small industrial strip mall, L'atelier Des Pains feels like stumbling upon a slice of Paris. The shop may be tiny, but the selection of French breads, croissants, and pastries is plenty. Everything looks and smells incredible, but the almond croissant, flaky, buttery, and perfectly sweet, might be the most delicious thing I've eaten in all of Delray Beach. Worth going out of your way for! read more

This little French bakery is the real deal. Everything is made by the very friendly owner Yves, and it is delicious. We just had a tarte custom made, and, as you can see by the photo, looks and tastes absolutely delicious. We love the crusty french bread. One treat that we absolutely love, and have never had anywhere else, is the pistachio croissant. Oddly green in color, but addictingly delicious. The chocolate croissants are also our favorite. There are two tasty treats that we keep buying to enjoy as breakfast, a ham and mozzarella round "tart" and one with salmon. This is a nice bakery, and I hope it sticks around for a long time. read more

Came by for a coffee and to check this place out and meet the owner- operator. I ordered the turkey and cheese baguette with coffee. Very good cheese and baguette. The turkey was deli grade and good. It's a small place with seating outside. There were also plenty of parking spaces available. If you're in the area I recommend just popping in. The prices are high but you're buying something from a chief with a lot of experience. read more

A subtle sign out front simply says French Bakery. It's easy to miss unless you know that this unassuming little strip of shops also has ice cream, empanadas and pirogies. And it's not on the Ave. Inside the small shop is an array of breads, pastries and cookies. The owner Chef Ives, was trained in France and brings style and technique to Delray. The croissants were on point, crispy outside and soft inside. The double chocolate almond croissants were a real treat - not too sweet, but still warm and crispy crusted. This gem also serves coffee and sandwiches. Everything was amazing. read more

Great gelato and fair price. The staff were very helpful. Easy to get to and the store was very clean.

This is an AMAZING, AUTHENTIC, INCOMPARABLE, French Bakery and truly A Bread Workshop. I've had almost one of everything (and dozens of a several) in this local via Paris proprietor, Chef Yves. And it's a family-run business, so the wonderful attention to detail for each item is a direct reflection of the owner. There is nothing you won't love, and most every item you will certainly cherish. The only reason I was hesitant to leave a review here is I don't want any more Customer-Competition (having to be worried about them running out of baked goodies). It is set up to be a first-class experience and establishment. The good news on this end, is they can bake and make more... Enjoy L'atelier Des Pains as much as I do. read more

Y'all are sleeping on this place! The line should be out the door! Run and try these delicious pastries!

The pastries I bought were simply scrumptious and delicious you could tell they were made from scratch! The chef is renowned and very talented..... I saw he has been in many food magazines over the years. For a true cake lover this was a rare find and one i stumbled upon. read more

Had to go back a 2nd time before I reviewed. The baked goods here are excellent. Everything I have tried here has been baked to perfection and is delicious. The standout is the double chocolate almond croissant which is phenomenal. If you don't purchase this item when you visit this business you've wasted a trip. Chocolate croissants are also great. He gets the dough just right - crisp and flaky on the top, chewy on the bottom. The selection of sweets is increasing on my 2nd visit & these desserts are very visually appealing. I've had the napoleon and the strawberry bombe. There are a few bread options with baguettes coming out of the oven at 9:30am. I'm trying his sourdough this time. Yes, the items are not cheap. It's 2024 and prices are up all over south FL. You know what's also not cheap? A flight to NYC or Paris which is where you're going to have to go to get an equivalent in quality. Save the money on the plane fair & spend it locally. read more

I really like L'atelier Des Pains - and I've heard great things about the bakery but it actually surpassed my expectations. The Croissants are excellent and reason enough to go and it's easy to devour one of these especially since they are deceptively light - just like a good croissant should be. Often I go to bakeries and everything might look great in the display cases - only to try them when I get home and be disappointed. Not here as every pastry I purchased tasted as good as they looked - maybe better. We tried several items and the Tarts were as good as the Croissants. It's a small owner operated shop where you can see and taste the pride and work that goes into the baked goods. read more

Saw this place on IG and had to try it. The 30 minute drive south was worth it. The dessert display was very enticing. I knew I was going to have a few to take away. My bf and I had a ham and cheese croissant and a turkey and cheese baguette. We also had two coffees. The ham was a bit salty but both sandwiches were very good. I decided to get a French baguette to take away as well. The owner/chef said he was now going to place them in the oven so we waited. While waiting on the baguette he spoke with us about his training and career. We bought a chocolate mousse, a chocolate eclair, and a strawberry tart to go. He also give us a mini complementary baguette. What great customer service. We were the only ones in the shop which is small but has counter top seating. There is seating outside but it was pouring. He also offered to have us bring our dog inside. When we got home we had the chocolate eclair which was very rich and decadent. Will have the mouse later! Definitely try this place out, the prices are a bit steep. There is parking in the plaza which also has some other food shops. Can't wait to try more desserts. If you want a nice dessert to impress a friend pick it up from here! read more

Wonderful service, welcoming owner and delicious butter croissants! A real gem from a highly trained Parisian!! Don't miss their baguettes.

What a great find! Located in a strip mall on Congress and worth checking out. Fantastic baguette, cakes, cookies, and croissant. It worth the trip, easy parking and the desserts are beautifully displayed. The service was friendly and it's my new favorite stop for decadent snacks. read more

Pastries taste old and the whipped cream has taken on the taste of the fridge. As a cake decorator I can tell when it's not made that day but the owners will try to gaslight you and tell you that you're wrong. There is so much better in the croissant dough that when you squeeze the almond croissant it drips out. Will not be returning as it all is just sub par read more

Went here early on Sat morning. Smelled great! Got a kouign aman and an almond croissant. The croissant was stale and mushy the kouign aman was stale and the caramel could break your teeth. Terrible!! You should be ashamed... read more

What an amazing little find! The apple tart is amazing & the croissants are crisp & flaky! I'll visit again SOON!!

A small but amazing French bakery that is already the talk of the neighborhood even though it's less than three weeks old at this point.

Best French bakery in Delray Boynton area ! I've tried the others and this one is amazing. I bought two ham cheese croissant sandwiches and one turkey and cheese on a baguette. Also a chocolate croissant that was the best I've ever I've ever had. I've had a restaurant in Rhode Island for Thirty nine years and I appreciate quality. read more

I just left this bakery in awe! The owner is a true gem. We tried the Ham & Cheese on the French Baguette and OH MY GOODNESS it was delicious. The quality of this sandwich goes beyond words. I'll definitely be back for more. We then had the Strawberry Tart which was by far the best strawberry dessert I've ever had! Overall, this bakery pays close attention to detail, quality, and the man behind it all makes sure you enjoy every last bite. read more

I had a plain croissant heated up...absolutely delicious. One of the best I have had. I have traveled to France many times and really feel this is as good of not even better! They also gave me a pistachio tart to try. The tart was delicious as well. I may just come back tomorrow! read more
