Went on a Saturday afternoon and got a 6 pack of their macarons. They were best I've had in Austin! They were fresh, flakey, light and busting with flavor! I got the Rose, grapefruit, lavender, Earl Gary, Orange Heaven and lemon. Each macaron I could vividly taste the flavor they were going for. They were all good, but my favorite were the grapefruit and lemon. The macarons felt a bit too sweet and are pricey, hence removing one star. There is plenty of street parking in the neighborhood near by and the ambience is very small cute place. Girl at the front was kind. Definitely check this place out for macarons! Will be back for their pastries! read more

Totally adorable French bakery off South 1st. When you walk in the door, you're instantly hit with the most aromatic Parisian baked good scents. Smells of croissant, chocolate, muffins, macarons, & more encompass your very being. The flavor smells wafted over me like a brilliantly executed perfume. Intoxicating and hunger-inducing, even on a full belly. Absolutely delectable treats. Awesome service. Front patio area as well as indoor seating. Half off baked goods after 4 p.m.--talk about a sweet treat! read more

Cute coffee and pastry shop. They had so many different pastry options! I came here after already eating, but I would've definitely tried more of their options if I hadn't. I got the chocolate cream puff, which tasted good, and also an iced vanilla latte that wasn't too sweet at all. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the service was great! read more

Tbh this place is just eh and I'm only writing this review because there's TONS of coffee spots and cafes all throughout Austin that you can try before this one! I got a coffee, lemon tart and a donut. The tart was the best thing and it was over $5 after tax alone. I do think you can get more for the price and taste somewhere else. The service was eh as well not the friendliest or ruddiest:) read more

Place is very nice, food and drinks were excellent. However the girl behind the counter shouldn't have come into work. Her attitude was completely miserable. Seemed like taking our order of a few pastries and two lattes was the end of the world. Was extremely excited to visit and was very disappointed with how we were treated. read more

Grabbed a Raspberry chocolate croissant from the South Lamar neighborhood while driving to downtown. Love the ambiance and the decor. The staff were nice and it wasn't crowded. Wish they had ample space to park. Will return to try their tarts, muffins , coffee and macaroons. read more

Off the beaten path on an adorable little house. Patio and two adorable rooms. Quiet and cold during the summer with French pastries and standard coffee and espresso drinks. A perfect Saturday alternative to a loud and busy business on Saturday morning and afternoon such as nearby Swedish Hill across Annie at S 1st, or Proud Mary on Lamar or any of the other increasingly busy brunch and coffee spots in South Austin. I've come here on and off for years and it's still going steadily along. Perfect study spot if you can get a spot during the day. Even more perfect to meet up with someone new who you want to get to know. Very easy to have a quiet conversation. read more

La Patisserie is a quaint bakery that offers macarons, an assortment of pastries and coffee. Seating is minimal, both inside and out. I would not recommend coming here to work from, as there are only a handful of outlets and you'll find yourself intimately seated near others as if you were a part of the conversation. I ordered a variety of the macarons, but they were mid. read more

I was on the search for a Vietnamese Coffee Christmas Eve morning. Many shops were already closed for the holidays, but not La Patisserie! I'm so sorry I wish I could remember her name...maybe Amanda? She was beyond kind and sweet. Got my Vietnamese Coffee and sat out on their super cute french inspired patio with our pup. Yes they are dog friendly! As we sat we watched all the neighborhood regulars walk in with their families. What a cute and friendly neighborhood cafe! read more

I stumbled upon this place completely by accident the week they opened--no joke. It immediately became one of my favorite spots in all of Austin and, all these many years later, I keep going back every chance I get. I live for the viennoiserie menu. If I'm feeling classic, the pain au chocolat hits every time: flaky, buttery, perfectly rich. When I'm craving full-blown South Austinite flair, un Crobrios, s'il vous plaît (croissant + brioche = yes). The desserts and cakes are decadent without being fussy and never fail to impress anyone I share them with. And yeah, sometimes I channel my inner basic bitch and grab a macaron or two--but no regrets. Inside, it's cozy and charming--my preference, since I'm personally averse to bugs and any temperature more than 5 degrees off 65º. But the outdoor seating is lovely too if that's your thing. They even have a drive-thru that I've never used, but honestly... you should just park, slow down and enjoy it for what it is. It's all fabulous, and uniquely Austin. read more

Stopped by to grab some macarons for my moms birthday. Probably the worst macarons I have ever had. All of them had different textures and were warm not chilled. The strawberry one was so hard to bite into that it was inedible. read more

April 21, 2023 I was on my way home (back to Galveston) and had to stop at this girly French themed bakery. I got 3 different macarons and a cortado- everything was tres' bien!

The CUTEST French bakery. We got the BOGO croissant & cinnamon sugar muffin, as well as two macarons. The lady behind the counter was literally the most kind and gave us good suggestions on ffe rent murals to see around Austin after we told her we were mural searching. The croissant was, and I kid you not, the most delicious croissant I've ever had. It was about an hour before close, so I know they were from the morning, but it was still the best croissant ever. The butter was slightly sweet on top, and the insides were so so perfect. Crispy on the outside, perfection on the inside- it was delicious! We sat outside on the high top table nearest the front door, and we really enjoyed ourselves with the perfect spring weather. We would LOVE to return! read more

What a surprise! I've walked by this little place for years, and decided to pop in and get a couple croissants to take to a newly widowed friend. I bought two almond croissants and wow!! Absolutely the best I have ever had. My friend, who had traveled to France several times with his wife, took one bite, stopped and stared at the croissant, then looked at me with awe and delight.

La Patisserie is the cutest little macaroon and pastry boutique. I loved all of the bistro tables out front. I went around 12p on a Sunday, but there was still a good selection of pastries to choose from. I opted for a glazed crobrio and a slice of red velvet. It was pretty tasty! I'll definitely be back to try more of the baked goods. read more

La Patisserie is conveniently located to the left of the famous Greetings From Austin Mural sign. My initial plans were to stop by the mural to take a quick picture and walk to my next destination. Given that Austin was in the triple digits, it was only best to grab a drink for the road. I ordered a hibiscus tea and a salted caramel macaron. I got the last of the pre-made tea (as they ran out.. hence my cup not fully filled) and it was pretty watered down. However, I was super thirsty and chugged it. As for the macaron, I'm not a huge fan of them but have to say the salted caramel was delightfully yummy. It had the perfect flavor in the inside and slight crisp on the outside - very well baked. Cute little shop - has a great selection of macarons and drinks plus there's seating indoors and outdoors if you want to lounge. Definitely a great pit stop when visiting the mural - highly recommend! read more

Will not go back! I have a $50 giftcard that I received and they would not honor it because they said they changed ownership. However, they are still operating as if they are the same business with the same logo and business name. Then I asked if I could talk to a manager and then they made me wait 20 minutes then said they were too busy to talk to me and had me leave my name and number on a napkin with a dry erase expo marker. I cannot believe how this was handled. This was at the burnet location. read more

What a cute little house-turned-bakery near the mural! I thought this spot was so great. The macarons were so well done and the variety of flavors was really pleasant. You also get a free macaron with a purchase of a certain amount if you check-in and the person working was nice enough to just give it to us after we checked out since we didn't realize it until much later! Not pictured was also the wild strawberry macaron we tried, which was really delicious. Honestly, all their macarons were fantastic - I think if I had to pick one that was my favorite, it'd be the honey lemon, but they were each delicious and unique in their own way! The tea was what you'd expect for an ice tea and hit the spot on a hot day. Overall, if you're in the area, I'd recommend this spot for their delicious baked goods and cute ambiance! read more

Love, love, loved this lil coffee shop. All thanks to cool painted Austin mural/post card. It's a few steps away from the landmark. It looks like it was an old house converted into a coffeehouse/dessert place. The coffee is of course delicious, and the desserts looked scrumptious. We ordered some macaroons and were not disappointed. My only complaint was that I wanted a French press coffee but it was shut down for the day when we visited. Besides that we had a great time. Tourist tip bonus! Check out the bathroom, it has a funny and cute mural about unicorns. read more

Nice spot for coffee and a dessert; they have a shaded patio outside and are right off of 1st street so you can people watch a bit as they go to the famous Austin sign. They also have a drive-through if you don't want to go inside. They have a pretty good selection of different kinds of French pastries, including beignets, which we were excited about since we're going to NOLA soon. The people were cool and friendly, quick, and made a nice special coffee, and they have plenty of macrons, that were quite good; I'm not usually a big fan of them but they had nice flavor and weren't too sweet. read more

Man, I love this little shop! Everything I've tried here has been amazing! I love the turkey cheese croissant hot or cold. The scones are great, even the gluten-free scones. All of the pastries are fantastic, but my favorite is the salted caramel eclair. It was amazing! My wife loves the coffee. The spot is adorable! A little house converted into a cafe. Very limited seating inside and out, but that matches the ambiance. There is also a drive-thru, which is super convenient. The service is always efficient and friendly. read more

Really good macarons (limited other options for gluten-free). I loved their chai tea latte as well. Their packaging is so pretty too. You can definitely tell when a small local business has had their owner put their heart and soul into thinking of every detail. Edit: the main kitchen is at their Burnett location and apparently if you pre order for this location, they will send gluten-free baked good items here, such as cake slices, scone, etc. That being said, the cranberry scone I had was meh. read more

I ordered an iced chai latte, vanilla latte, and a cream puff at both of their locations. Honestly, their coffee is pretty mediocre. They don't use house-made syrup, so everything tastes generic. Their employees are really nice, which I appreciate. I wasn't the biggest fan of my cream puff, either. It was almost a bit too hard and sweet. It's definitely a really cute pastry shop, but I personally wasn't a fan. Perhaps I should be judging more on their pastries than on their actual coffee, but my two separate visits did not impress me. read more

They had a sign on the door stating they are closed until 3pm due to repairs. A group of people were sitting outside. They saw us outside but at 3pm nothing happened. I went up to the door to ask if they are open and they let us in. It would have been nice if they had at least come out and acknowledged that we sat and waited. Absolutely no customer service and the maroons were stale tasting as if they were old. The outside is cute. Sort of reminds you of Alice And Wonderland's tea party. The inside could use some tidying up. They didn't have many options and I'm not sure if that was due to repairs. I plan to give it another try but I do hope it's better. read more

Preface for this reviews is I'm a pastries nob. Measuring cities for its pastries quality has been my long time guilty pleasure. I live in Hanoi, where there is a huge influence of French cuisine and a strong presence of France-educated or French pastries chef in general so I am sure I have a good grip of what good French pastries and sweet delicacies should be. I have also had Laduree in France several times and have used that as a measuring stick because unfortunately, I haven't tasted better macarons else where. I am really curious about how Austin fare to these places that I have tried and decided to get two macarons from La Patiserrie. La Patiserrie is a cute shop with pink walls and playful paintings outside. They sell some viennoiseries (croissants, pain au chocolat, may be kouign amann) but was sold out when I visited. No big deal, I got the lemon and caramel macarons. They look cute, but were too sweet for my liking. They had a tougher and dry-crunchy exterior, not the crunch but still soft and moist inside. The most overpowering flavor is the white sugar. I wish there was less sugar and more fresh fruit jam or filling. read more

Amazing place. Such a great gem. Très bon! Très bon! Great service with people who speak French, and the interior is very welcoming. Love it, defiantly coming back. read more

Service was good. 5 stars. Cute place with nice patio in the heart of Austin. 5 stars. Not many people at 11 am Sunday. That should have been a clue... Food: Horrible. Really really bad. We wanted to like it but the quiche had a sweet crust that was like a cookie. No, really. I never encountered anything like it anywhere. Hardly any filling. 0 stars. Beignets were not beignets. Do not expect to get beignets like in New Orleans--light, fluffy and full of flavor. Very heavy and soggy. 0 stars. Almond croissant was also oddly heavy, too, with a marzipan center that was grainy. It, too, was soggy and lacked any crispness. 1 star. Chocolate tart was ok, 2 stars. Coffee was ok. 3 stars. Not good Austin. Definitely keeping it weird! read more

Saw this cute little patisserie as husb and I were doing a mural crawl. We had to see the austin mural and I was excited to see a pastry shop as I've been craving a croissant. After we took photos we came in and grabbed a few things. I took home a croissant, pain au chocolat, and six macarons. Nothing was bad, but honestly, nothing was great. Both croissants were dense and bready- nothing like a proper croissant should be. It lacked the buttery, flaky layers and crisp (i like a shattering outside) top. The dough was weirdly sweet. As for the macarons- none of them had the crisp exterior, chewy interior. Five out of six were just chewy and the strawberry was crunchy/stale but had good flavour. Unfortunately, for me, this missed the mark. read more

So, maybe I should have stuck with the cronut that everyone has been posting about, but I specifically went in with the purpose of trying a French macaron and it was awful. I have been to Paris many times and these do not fit the bill in any way shape or form. If you want something close to the real thing, head over to Elizabeth Street Cafe for their offerings as they get theirs from Swedish Hill. I also purchased a slice of vanilla bean cake and it was so dry, I threw it away after 2 bites. The staff is really nice and the bakery is super cute and for those reasons, I may swing by for the cronut and see if it tastes like the original ones from Dominique Ansel in NY. read more
