I stopped in on Friday to get breakfast. Not pictured is the almond crossiant I ate in the car. Pictured is the mushroom and brie crossiant and a piece of Opera Cake. The almond crossiant was everything it should be buttery, flaky, tasty. The almond filling was really good . As for the Mushroom and Brie crossiant its literally big enough to share if you pair it with fresh fruit or a side salad for brunch. My friend absolutely loved it and I had a small piece of it and again it was buttery and flaky as it should be. And as big as it was we both felt 6.50 was a reasonable price. The opera Cake was chocolatey and had a hint of coffee flavoring in it the filling was light and fluffy. Overall it was really good! Both my friend and I are European (she's from Germany and I'm Swiss and Spanish so we've eaten our fair share of European vs American bakery items. I have to say this was pretty close to what we've had in Europe. The woman at the counter was friendly and engaging. There was no line when I got there in the morning around 8:40 . I can see how on the weekends it gets busy there. The interior was really nice and looked comfortable. The bakery display cases were clean organized, good signage and well lit. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Lexington! Close enough to campus to drive over to when I need a pick me up. Their macarons are always delicious and they have a great variety of pastries and coffee!

I also ordered a cake from La Petite Delicat for my best friend's bridal shower and it did not disappoint! It turned out terrific! read more

What a cute little bakery with delicious treats in Lexington! Their location isn't far from downtown and right across the street from a couple of breweries. We stopped in on a weekday morning. They had a full case of goodies available. There were French macarons, tarts, cookies, and cakes. They were also offering seasonal drinks and a full coffee menu. There are a few tables on the first floor and a cute loft style seating area upstairs. It's a very cute space to hang out and enjoy some treats. The French macarons were delicious. They had a variety cup available so I ordered one of those. My toddler and I enjoyed all of the flavors. They were the perfect texture, slightly chewy. The Pistachio Tart was also tasty. We also enjoyed a cookie. The Iced Berry Tea was refreshing and light. On the way out I grabbed a Cappuccino and enjoyed their coffee. Next time I'm in Lexington I'll have this on my list for a return visit. read more

I came in for Burger Week, which was a winning promotion for them, because now I wonder how I missed this place. It's in a strip mall near the train tracks and is unimpressive from the outside, but the inside includes not only some splendid displays of various sweets but also an upstairs seating area and a space in the back where they presumably make all this stuff. The macaron burgers, which came in a pack of two slightly different flavors, were quite magnificent, with multiple sweet confections substituting for the specific "burger" ingredients, delivering a complex flavor experience worthy of being eaten slowly. To contrast my sweets, I got what is probably one of the few non-sweet items in the store: a matcha latte which was loaded with powdered tea leaves. They had the option for non-dairy drink alternatives (though overpriced), but otherwise this is a shop where most things are going to be high-sugar and have dairy, eggs, and gluten, so this is clearly not for everyone. I had no need of any further sweets on the day, but they had a wide range of croissants, tarts, cakes, and more, exhibiting some beautiful craftsmanship. I'm not even a huge macaron person, but I will definitely find a way back to this place for something. read more

I've been following on IG for a while now and the pics of the yummy treats lured me in to give it a try. I was really excited to try a cruffin since I had never had one before. Upon entering the business I was impressed by the homey atmosphere inside. It was very cozy and decorated in a way that makes you feel very welcomed. There's a nice sized sitting area where I could easily see someone would be comfortable there working on a laptop. There was a short line but it moved quickly. There were so many items to choose from. I'm glad that I knew ahead of time what I wanted. I got a strawberries & champagne cruffin & a red velvet macaroon. Most items were behind the glass counter but there were a few baked items that sat on top of the counter in the open. I really didn't like that because they were so exposed. I would like to see all items in a case or at least covered. The cruffin was good. It had a strawberry filling inside that was very good. There was also something with a custard like consistency inside that I wasn't as fond of. Overall it was a 4/5 for me. My macaroon left me unimpressed. It was just sweet. I honestly couldn't identify the flavor. I wouldn't make a special trip to visit again, but if I was in the neighborhood I might give them another try. read more

Traveling between Bowling Green, KY, and Columbus, OH, my wife and I decided to stop at La Petite Delicat for dessert after lunch at a nearby shop. This was the perfect place to stop! We needed caffeine for the three hours left in our journey, and I am quite particular when it comes to coffee. So when my wife read the description of La Petite Delicat online, I agreed that we should give it a try. The shop is is in a small strip of businesses about a block off Winchester Pike, across from a brewery/pizzeria. It is cute, clean, and inviting. I have never been a real lover of macarons, but the assortment and colors of the macaron display is very appealing. I ordered a cortado and a red velvet cake macaron, and my wife had an Earl Grey latte and an eggnog macaron. The drinks were perfect! The macarons were soft and chewy. Mine did not really taste much like red velvet cake, but it was still sweet and delicate. The eggnog macaron did taste like eggnog. Will I return on another trip through Lexington? Yes! It is the perfect place to stop for coffee and something sweet before continuing a journey. If I lived in Lexington, the upstairs couch of La Petite Delicat might just become my favorite new place to sit and read. read more

I think I've developed an addiction to Chai Lattes because of this place. On my first visit, I opted to try the Chai Latte. It was creamy and delicious. I've been on a quest to make the perfect latte since then. My first visit was on a snowy morning. Upon entering the shop, the aroma was fragrant and sweet. I was greeted by a couple of attendants who were friendly and courteous. From the outside, the shop seemed small, but it was open and spacious. The macarons are the highlight of the experience. There were so many flavors to try. I don't have a favorite, but the flavors I did try were all good. No complaints. read more

Chose the pistachio tart. Good. A little too sweet, I wanted more pistachio flavor. Tartlet crust, a touch not delicat, but still tasty. Maybe I should have had a macaron instead??? Next time! Also, I tried the matcha latte....too much matcha. She gave me an extra sugar which I was grateful to have. Anyway, blood sugar is up now for sure! I think this place is best to just pick up macarons and take to a dinner party. It's too sweet for an afternoon tea or Matcha. The four stars are for effort. It's easy to see they put a lot of work into their pastries! The girls said the croissants were sold out by 11 AM on a Saturday. She seemed pretty proud of that. I think I would have preferred to try one of their not so sweet items. Next time! Next time! Next time! This place is worth a visit for sure! read more

Adorable! The macarons were fabulous! I also had a lavender cappuccino! I craved another one all day!!

Happy to see a French patisserie in Lexington! A cute little shop with a simple & sweet atmosphere. This was my second visit, the service is excellent, and very friendly. I got a cruffin, a macaron, and an apple cider muffin. The Cruffin and salted caramel macaron were delicious, but the muffin was dry and not very flavorful. It was also quite small for the price. I won't be getting one again on my next visit, but I will return. read more

There is lots of seating upstairs, which is nice!! They have local art for sale as well - always love that. Parking is easy. The service, coffee, and pastries were all nice. Nothing about my experience left me obsessed, but I recommend you form your own thoughts :) There are tons of great reviews here so I recommend picking something else another person enjoyed. Cheers. read more

Sweet little place to stop in, awesome staff, wonderful iced tea and special drinks. The macarons were good - their fillings all seem to be made of flavored frostings, so a little different than what we prefer and are used to. But hey, if it's the only one in town, still nice place for a sweet treat. They also had some lovely looking pastries. read more

Stopped by this morning for a coffee and couldn't resist grabbing a few treats. They had a big selection of macaroons but I went for a Twix tart and a white chocolate cranberry scone. Most scones I've tried are dry and not very good but these were delicious. The Twix tart was great and they had a couple of other flavors to choose from so will have to go back soon. read more

This is a stinking cute establishment with decadent macarons. They are colorful, fresh, and are almost too pretty to eat. Everything is made in house. There's a huge kitchen in the back where you can take a peak if not smell the sweetness in the air. Absolutely mouthwatering. The set up of cute armchairs, couch, and marble coffee table is a instagrammer's dream. The mezzanine can be rented out for private events. My friend had a baby shower here. Cost was reasonable. The owner is a very sweet lady and accommodated our wishes to make the event a success. read more

So, I love how this restaurant has tried to be relevant with their contribution to Burger Week ! Sadly, not my favorite thing, but it was a fun idea to try two burger styled macarons for $6! I will say the special event orders they've done for the Derby with rose water flavored cream doissants and Mother's Day tea boxes are delicious and so worth the price! read more

Ahhhhh! Loooove this sweet little macaron shop in Lexington! Sooooo thrilled they finally opened. I've been searching for good macarons in Lexington and I think I've finally found them! When I found La Petite Delicat online awhile back, the storefront wasn't open yet -- but they had a lovely Instagram account that I followed for awhile until I heard about the opening. I've been waiting for months! I was in the neighborhood one afternoon and begged my husband to let me swing by the shop. We were just around the corner, and It was thirty minutes before closing, so we had time to grab some treats. We drove around until we spotted the pink awning that marked the store. The storefront can be somewhat easy to miss if you're not really looking for it (they're working on putting up a sign at the curb). As for parking -- you can park near a metered spot and make a quick dash inside without paying, or go ahead and park in the lot next to the building or across the street. La Petite Delicat IS a small space; small, white, and clean with a beautiful marble countertop in the middle for the lovely display of colorful macarons and tea containers. Several small tables fill the space if you decide to sit and linger for a bit -- the store also sells tea, coffee, hot chocolate, macaron ice cream, and madelines. Since I had arrived at the end of the day, a lot of the macarons were gone but I still had a delightful selection. After looking at the prices ($2.25 per macaron -- a bit high), I decided a box of five ($11) would suit me just well. I choose lemon, chocolate mint, strawberry cheesecake, matcha, and one other one I cannot remember. The woman behind the counter carefully placed them in a lovely, clear box and once I paid, I had a box of delightful macarons! They macarons were so lovely and perfect, I almost didn't want to eat them! And I didn't... until the next day. And then one more the day after that. And two the following day. I had to savor what I could! Each macaron was moist and scrumptious. Looooved them. read more

Delicious and delightful treats! Guaranteed fresh and these are wonderful. Bon Appetit!

La Petite Delicat is really an amazing and adorable bakery. First of all, the macarons are just perfect. You don't get them any better than this and they have a huge selection. And they have really cute boxes (with an unfortunate plastic liner) so this should be everyone's first stop for the best hostess gift. Why show up with the standard bottle of wine when you can bring something your host will absolutely want to devour the day after the party? But in addition to this, they have all sorts of other baked goods and they are all delicious - croissants, tarts, cakes, etc. I walked in there yesterday to pick up an order and was suddenly swimming in the most delicious aroma from all the holiday coffee drinks they were making. I seriously wanted to try one of everything. And speaking of special orders, they have the cutest favor gifts! I ordered macaron snowmen in little baggies tied with ribbon that were so super cute for a luncheon yesterday. Everyone loved them. This bakery should be on everyone's priority list for gifts and for treating themselves! read more

Their pastries are really good also. (Though didn't like the cakes same as all other cake shops: dry and dense cake because it was put in a freezer) read more

I had no idea the space was so sprawling or that they had more than just macarons. I was surprised to find a decent variety of pastries and coffee, plus tea and other little goodies. There is a lot of seating on the main floor for dining or perching to have a coffee and get some work done, but did you know there's also a loft?! It seats up to 25 people and can be reserved for parties, showers, and other special events. I look forward to enjoying a proper breakfast on my next visit. Back to those macarons though...WOW! I think the chocolate raspberry was my favorite, because I knew what it was, lol! The other flavors are almost impossible to discern, but they are equally delicious. I can't wait to try quite a few, like lemon, salted caramel, dark chocolate, peppermint, and s'mores. YUM! read more

La Petite Delicat is a Lexington gem! Everything is made from scratch with high quality ingredients daily! During this pandemic, I have been sure to support my local joint. EVERY Saturday morning I pick up a variety of baked goods from this place. Our favorites have been the huge croissants (my husband's favorites, he says they are the best he's had in America, he's European), the raspberry white chocolate scones are so unbelievably moist! I'm usually not a scone person due to them normally being dry and underwhelming on flavor.... not La Petite, these scones are so moist and bursting with flavor! We also love the crank and boom macaron ice cream sandwiches! My favorite is the cookie dough, and vanilla. I'm looking forward to trying the strawberry soon! Above all, their macarons are to die for. Macarons are my all time favorite dessert and these are nothing short of perfection! The food is spectacular, but the service is second to none! I've put in orders by phone, Instagram and online. Anytime something has run out, or once a croissant was "smaller than they like them to be", they've gone above and beyond by giving me a few extras to make up for it! I highly recommend getting their when they open for the fresh out of the oven pastries you can't beat it! Forever a loyal customer read more

Everything about this place is totally adorable. The colorful macarons are eye-catching as soon as you walk in and are available in a truly amazing variety of flavors. I ended up choosing a red velvet macaron ice cream sandwich (at $7 it's certainly spendy) filled with Crank and Boom ice cream with bits of actual red velvet cake - so delicious! I wanted to try one of the chocolate croissants but they were out this time. The place is very spacious and airy inside. A very nice place to stop for a sweet treat! read more

Iced white chocolate mocha was sooo good! The espresso and sweetness level were just right. We got the pistachio tart and a small container of assorted macaroons. The tart was amazing.

Absolutely delicious! This was the cutest little pastry shop. With a ton of flavors of macrons, croissants, tarts, cakes, quiches, and pies there is something for everyone! I personally had a tomato basil quiche, chocolate almond croissant, and a gingerbread latte. All were heavenly. The quiche was fresh and flavorful. The croissant was one of the best croissants I've ever had, the almond and chocolate was a perfect pairing. And lastly the gingerbread latte was well balanced between sweet and bitter. A great stop for a pastry or just a treat! read more

Pros: the space is beautiful, they make all pastry items in house and the macaroons were to die for! Cons: took a awhile to get my ice coffee due to the front only having one barista during the morning. read more
