This place is a hidden gem that must be preserved. If it takes a dozen empanadas plus dessert I will do my part. The chicken empanadas and the dulce de leche were my favorites. read more

The facturas are so good! They have great variety of facturas and other sweets. They also serve dinner foods. read more

I wish this was located closer in Salt Lake City. This is a full fledged Argentinian bakery with all your traditional Argentinian lunch items and Argentinian pastries. Would recommend and go back if in the area again. read more

La Brioche is really half bakery, half restaurant, and then...mathematically impossible, but like 10% market. I did not look at the grocery shelves, and I didn't have time to dine in, but I saw many people eating lunch there, so this might be a great option for an Argentinian meal! I just eyed the bakery cases, and there was a lot on offer! Mostly sweets, but a few savory things too. The one nearest the entrance held the most: cookies, pastries, full loaves of bread, smaller biscuits and all manner of carby delights, then the one of the other side seemed reserved for sweets, though on my visit it was probably only half full. In between the two is the front counter and register, and a small heated case with empanadas and pizza available by the slice. I quickly picked out my goodies, the girl who assisted me was friendly and packaged it all up nicely, and I was on my way. I ate my coconut macaroon (labeled as torta de coco, dulce de leche y chocolate - practically a title!) in the car and yummm. It is basically an oversize macaroon layered with dulce de leche, a foundation of sponge cake, then the whole bottom half coated in chocolate. I don't go crazy for dulce de leche, but I liked this application, and this was definitely the favorite treat. I also got a chocolate dipped palmier, and La Brioche's chocolate, while I would not describe it as dark, is a good one, as it's not gross and milky. Unfortunately the cookie was rather stale, but I ate the choccie dipped portion 'cause it's a sin to toss good chocolate. At home, I heated up a tortitas de cicharron and beef empanada at 350 degrees for about ten minutes. The first is basically a biscuit with teeny bits of pork sprinkled throughout, and just tasted like a particularly salty biscuit. The empanada was generously filled with beef and seasoned with loads of cumin, yet somehow bland. My selections ended up a little over $8, so very reasonable. Besides the first cookie, nothing really stood out as great, and it all seemed a bit stale, so this is not a new favorite bakery. I'd return to try the food, though, and with such overall favorable reviews, perhaps it was just an off day. read more

This review is simply for the empanadas - the beef empanadas are perfection and so yummy. The ham and cheese also do not disappoint. I'll be back. Great service and great place with simply tasty empanadas. Here's how the empanadas work: Order, Eat, Repeat. read more

I was looking for a local Argentine restaurant and saw this one on Yelp. I love a good empanada and some alfajores. I bought a couple of beef and one ham empanadas and I was not disappointed. The beef ones were better than the ham and the chocolate alfajore was delicious. I will be going back here again soon. read more

One of my favorite things with visiting UT is to find all these amazing south american res/bakeries. It is not easy to find authentic Argentinian or chilian style empanadas in the US-in my opinion. So happy to find this place via yelp. I ordered each of beef, chicken, and ham/cheese along with alfafore for a dessert! My favorite is chicken. I love to take some home to Ca. read more

Delicious treats freshly baked! Good ambiance, reflecting cultural background of familiarity, easiness and conversation. Service was courteous. I needed treats for a function and I found delicious alfajores. read more

To be honest this place is bad! I been in so many Argentinian restaurants and this is not good at all. Specially because the food is so dry and no flavor, we buy a bottle of chimichurri and it was basically water I won't come back here. Also no restrooms for the clients! read more

Where did this place come from?!? I happened to randomly notice it one day after leaving the grocery store nearby and decided I would make a quick stop by when needing a fast lunch today. This a a legit bakery and cafe. How is this not on every list for dessert places in Utah county? I only tried a beef empanada and a pastry as I was running on my way, so I realize my review is currently limited. But I literally said out loud, to myself, as I finished - "That. Was. Delightful." It is a little hidden in a small strip mall but there are quite a few tables inside to be able to have groups if you want, or grab it to go. The display cases in front are full of luscious looking desserts, fruity or chocolatey. Other menu items also looked really good. You better believe I will return to this little hidden gem. read more

I decided to try a new place for a quick dinner and dessert. It was a little tricky finding this location the first time. I was able to park close by. I did have to wait in line for a while even though there were only a few people in line. I tried the ham and cheese empanada. It was pretty good. I also tried the chocolate-covered alfajores and didn't really like it. They did have a lot of other desserts that looked pretty good, especially a good variety with dulce de leche so maybe I'll try another dessert another day. read more

Best authentic Argentinian empanadas I have found. Baked not fried. Love this place and I visit every chance I get

AMAZING!! Being from Argentina, I need to have my Panadería (bakery) close by, it's a culture thing. I don't know ‍ This is a family owned bakery, so you've got to understand the passion, love and time that goes into this place. From the amazing meals, to the extended inventory that's available, and of course... the amazing variety of FACTURAS (pastries) they have available! The family always welcomes you in with a warm hello or "holaaa," that never gets old. I don't live in Utah anymore, in fact, I live in the Portland/Vancouver area of the Pacific Northwest, where there are thousands of bakeries/international stores within walking distance. HOWEVER! I have yet to find a place as WARM and as AMAZING as La Brioche, both in service and in goods... no pan intended read more

We went and bought our rosca de reyes at this bakery and let me tell you that all on my 40 years never had a rosca like this one.. Feliz Día De Reyes !!! read more

La Brioche Bakery - SO AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! - Argentine Near Me - Orem, Utah

My guess is, I'll be back soon and I'll order more substantial food, and I'll love it. That's the hope anyways, because there was lots of promise in the stuff I had. La Brioche is an unassuming bakery in the strip mall, with lots of Argentine goodies. I was pretty excited to see a bunch of facturas in the case, as I haven't seen this little pastries outside of Argentina. If you're a newcomer, get the ones stuffed with dulce de leche and you can't go wrong. They've also got a few different empanadas on hand--I'd say stick with the regular beef, as the ham & cheese and chicken (?) may not be your cup of tea. They're also around $3 a piece, which is the going price I suppose, but I prefer the cheaper and smaller versions, and like to pack them away in my belly all quick-like. On the wall by the TV there are a few imported Argentine goods. You've got your bitter bottled drinks, your yerba mate, dulces de membrillo and batata, and one of my faces--the bolsa de galletititas surtidas. It brings me back.... The folks there are nice. There's not much order to the ordering process, but folks typically form a line in those kinds of situations, and it was packed while I was there, so a line was formed. It's not the cheapest, but when you have to bring all that know how from Argentina, you'll not regret spending the money. read more

Summary: La Brioche is a laid-back, unassuming hole in the wall that serves delicious Argentinian fare at a great value. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The atmosphere (4 stars) - This is definitely a hole in the wall. The location is very unassuming, quaint, and inviting. A few of the people I was with said that stepping in here is just like stepping into a little cafe in Argentina. The food (4 stars) - I had the chicken empanada, and a slice of their pizza. Both were well made and delicious. The mix of meat and spices, as well as their selection of hot sauces, made the empanada especially delicous. Service (4 stars) - The service we received was exactly what was expected. Value (4 stars) - For around $4.00, I had one empanda, one sliceof pizza, and an apple juice. Perfect size lunch for me, and it was super light on the wallet as well. Would I go back? - Yes read more

What an awesome little gem in Utah county. Looking for something fast? Unique? Delicious? Not too heavy? Look no further! Empeñadas are made so there's no waiting, which is great when you're in any type of a hurry. The menu is short and effective. You can get chicken, beef, or ham and cheese. I recommend ham and cheese. Made of chunks of ham and a ton of melty cheese. Each one is $1.99 so you can eat until your hearts content. They also have pizza, typically cheese or a special. I only got empeñadas. But the pizza looked equally delicious. If your taste buds have a hankering for something new and tasty, check this place out ASAP. Also this is a great place to watch soccer! They show all the games and the energy is on point. I'll definitely come back, and can see myself becoming a regular. Oh yeah, bring some cash unless you plan on spending a lot, cards have a $5 minimum. Also, splurge and try one of the dulce de leche pastries. They will change your life. read more

Sorry to say I wasn't a fan. I got three pastries: two sweet and one savory. They were all super stale, like they'd been in the glass case for a week. The young woman who helped me out, though, was super nice and took the time to explain to me what everything was. Note: there is a $5.00 minimum for card charges. read more

Great empanadas, delicious pastries, friendly and accommodating staff. Just go, eat, enjoy.

Awful service and food, they won't take an order unless you give them 1 week heads up and I know for a fact they don't even sell that much but they are lazy. The bread is seldom fresh. I have known this place since 2000 when they had better owners but the new owners are not great and they have 0 idea what good customer service in America is. Forget these people and drive to Layton to Aconcagua Panaderia for amazing food and amazing customer service. read more

While I'm not sure that I'll be taking them up on their Italian menu any time soon, La Brioche has delicious empanadas. And cheap! Came here last week and ordered a couple for lunch. We were the only ones there (Provo/Orem residents: WTH!? It's up to YOU to keep these guys in business), and our food came right out. One chicken, one beef. Both tasted great, though I think I preferred the chicken. They were gone too soon, and if I hadn't been in the company of my much skinnier friend, I would have ordered about 20 more. If you're accomplished in the art of Argentinian cooking, there is small grocery section along the back wall. The baked goods also looked to be worth trying out. The place is a little austere, but the owners have made an effort to dress it up with bright paint and nice table cloths. I definitely recommend La Brioche! There are not enough restaurants around that serve empanadas, and theirs are exceptional. read more

I rarely give 5 stars: this is a big deal. Food: Classic street Argentinian food. It's not a fusion. It's not anything fancy, but for the price you are paying, and the style, it is hands down a must. I had the Chicken Milanesa which was AMAZING. The portion was generous and being the small plate eater myself, I saved the second half for tomorrow's breakfast. The ladies that work there are Argentinas sweethearts. Believe that. Also, if you ever want to feed your friends but don't feel like spending much money, snag a dozen of empanadas and the whole crew it happy. Inexpensive and delicious! read more

Authentic Argentine food. I love this place so much. Ended up ordering way too much food because we couldn't decide what to get. Milanesa sandwich on a homemade bun. Dulce de membrillo facturas (pastries with quince). And by the way, the best empanada is definitely the jamon y queso. Fair prices, great quality, friendly service. read more

La Brioche! Wow. This place is really good. I lived in Argentina for about a year and fell in love with the food. This place brought back so many memories of eating delicious milanesas, facturas, alfajores, and more! Seriously couldn't get enough, which was great because I won the drawing that night and went to pick up a giant bag full of more facturas and bread! Awesome. Love this place and you will too. I had a milanesa a la napolitana and my wife a sandwich de milanesa. Both were incredible. From the bakery I would recommend anything with dulce de leche and any factura that has the jelly stuff. This place really is the best Argentinean food that I've had in the states and that includes a few restaurants in Miami! Can't recommend it enough. read more

A cute little shop in the middle of the strip mall. It's easy to miss and has random closing hours but it's worth the trip. I'd suggest showing up earlier in the day because when we went around 7 PM, the shelves were already pretty empty. Luckily there were still enough offerings for us to try some of their highlighted items. We got the beef and chicken empanadas, primavera sandwich, and a little cookie. The empanadas were both delicious, worth the price, and a good portion. I preferred the chicken over the beef but both are a good choice. The chocolate covered caramel alfajor cookie was surprisingly delicious and leaves you wanting more. WHY I only ordered one idk. The only thing I wouldn't get again was the sandwich. It was dry and bland. Not terrible but not worth over $5. I'm excited to come back to try some more of their pastries but would definitely return even if only for the empanadas. read more

I loved the empanadas! Everyone was super nice and after one visit I won the raffle, which was awesome! I will go back here anytime I need some good empanadas! read more

Milanesa sándwich is great. I would get the chicken instead of the beef. Call in and pick it up because it takes about 15-20 min. While you are waiting have an empanada and the great desert they have there read more

We got a few things here but the sandwiches we to notch. The choripan was our favorite. A flavorful sausage sandwich on their fresh bread. We also got the beef milanesa sandwich. Had a nice piece of ham and tomato in it. Both were large fairly priced. We tried the chicken then the ham and cheese empanada. They were ok. Not bad for $2. Lastly we got some desserts. Most were a sweet bread filled with caramel. Good, but a little dry fit our American pallet. Good service as well. read more

Holy Cow!!!!!!!' Move over 15 ski resorts in Utah, This place gives all 49 other states a serious reason to be jealous they aren't Utah!

Absolutely delicious! Everything you could ever want in a gourmet sandwich. The pastries are just amazing too!!! read more

This place serves actual, authentic Argentine food, and they do it well. The empanadas are big and tasty, the choripan is heart-cloggingly delicious, and the facturas are legit. Some of the menu items can get a little expensive, but it's all very authentic. There's nothing like chowing down on a few empenadas while watching Argentine futbol club teams duke it out on their TV. read more

La Brioche Bakery - Must stop to buy your sweet treats, tres leches cake and mate tea. - Argentine Near Me - Orem, Utah

This is definitely an Argentinian bakery run by Argentinians from Argentina. The reason it doesn't seem like a European bakery is because of just that. Though, Argentinian baked goods are very similar to European baked goods, they are different so you can really compare. Everything is so good and well priced. You can get a dozen assorted pastries for $12. Great quality and super helpful and friendly atmosphere. The owner is so sweet and they do a daily raffle when you come in a make a purchase, you put your name and number down on a ticket to join in! IF you have a sweet tooth, mix it up a bit and give this delightful place a try. read more

Love this place. If you have been to Argentina, then this will make more sense to you...it's essentially the best kiosco you've ever been to. They have great and extremely authentic food for a very authentic (inexpensive) price. If you are looking for alfajors, dulce de leche and especially mate, this is the best place (and as far as I have seen, only place) in Utah county. This is where I will spend probably all my disposable income and maybe my savings... read more

My husband served his mission is Uruguay and they serve something that reminds him of Chivitos so we went to try them out. He said they were perfect and I actually liked them a lot!! The place have a welcoming and clean environment. If you are into soccer they have AWESOME gatherings to watch the games. We will go back for sure, especially for their desserts read more

THIS IS SOOOO GOOD! They have food and they have pastries, cookies, etc. They closed down once, and my husband and I were so sad to see it go. I have only tried their sandwiches and pastries so far, but I can't wait to try the rest! I wish I could remember the names of the sandwiches so I could be more specific, but just try it. You won't be sorry! read more

Having lived in France and also traveled Europe extensively, this bakery is not "European style" as the sign claims. It's mostly Argentinian food (whether it's authentic Argentinian or not I can't say). All of the signs for the desserts are written in Spanish. I went for dessert and after realizing it was not really European, still ordered several things and tried to enjoy them as "Argentinian." Did not taste anything worth coming back for. I have not tried the sandwiches or entrees. They did look good in the pictures so I might give this place another chance (just not for dessert). read more

Great authentic pastries and desserts! I've been here a few different times and each time I try something new. The employees treat me like family, you don't really find that anywhere now a days. Their selection is always fresh, and delicious. I recommend this place to my friends when they're having special events catered. read more

What can I say?! I'm Argentine and this is where I get my pastry fix. If you like dulce de Leche, get the stuffed pastries.
