According to Google, this french bakery on S Holly St has one of the best chocolate eclairs in Denver. They are located on the west end of a strip mall. Several parking spots out front. The display cases offer the classic French pastries + croissants. The owner, Gerard Donat from southern France has been in business for 20 years. They were reviewed in the Rocky Mtn News in 2006. His wife, Christelle comes in at 3am to prepare that day's pastries. She is gone by the time Gerard opens the shop at 8am. They are closed Sun & Mon. Prices are reasonable. Contrary to the usual, they prefer cash. Gerard can make coffee drinks with a machine. There are 3 tables inside & 2 tables outside. While here, several groups of people arrived including a woman speaking fluent french and a North African speaking moderate french. I got a chocolate eclair and Latte. Gerard warmed up the eclair in the microwave. It was stuffed with vanilla flavored cream with plenty of chocolate on top. They offer 9 different quiche + cookies and macaroons. I got an Alsacian quiche for myself + 2 eclairs abd a cannoli for a friend to take home. read more

Hands down the best eclair I've ever had! This place is a hidden gem. Service has always been great too!

We stop here every time we're in the area. The owner and staff are always super friendly. They have so many choices, so it's difficult to choose only a few. This time, I got the eclair and it was perfect. It was just the right amount of sweetness. I highly recommend their goat cheese quiche. If he asks if you would like it warmed up, say yes! He will let you know it's better warmed up if you try to decline. There are 3 small tables inside if you'd like to sit and enjoy your treats there. They offer coffee, but I have yet to try it. read more

It's such a treat to visit Les Delices de Paris. Their savory and sweet options all look and taste fabulous. I particularly enjoy their quiches (Alsace and Ham), they're fluffy with a soft crust. They are about the size of a hand pie which makes them a perfect breakfast or morning snack. They have various tarts, cookies, croissants, and eclairs to choose from on the sweet side, and honestly you can't go wrong. The Chocolate Dome is filled with a light and fluffy mousse on top of a very thin brownie and moist brownie layer. It would definitely fill up someone solo, but it's a great treat to split. Everything looks beautiful and tastes the same. They also have a limited coffee/latte menu. The owners could not be kinder people. They go out of their way to make me and my son feel welcome when we visit. You can see how much they truly love what they do. The space is very simple and no frills. There are 3 two top tables and three designated parking spots out front (connected to a much larger parking lot). read more

This is a real, AUTHENTIC French patisserie. The smells alone are worth the trip. I ordered a quiche Lorraine - delicious! To go, I chose macrons, a baguette and peach croissant tart. All exceptional. This place has zero frills but if you're here for the food, it's fine. The owner is hard of hearing? Patience re read more

Fantastic almond croissant- finally a place that doesn't over-sweeten everything! They have a nice selection, great savory quiches as well.

We used to come here weekly when I worked close by and was in the hood today and daydreaming about the eclairs. Hands down best in Denver, and we've had our fair share! Super authentic French bakery owned by a lovely French couple. We had the mini quiche, eclairs and fruit tarts- everything perfectly sweet with buttery flaky crust. Delicious!!! read more

The food is Awsome! They have a delicious fruit tart and the strawberry shortcake is to die for! It's a giant cream puff with the best fresh strawberries! The guy there was so nice and friendly and the cafe is really cute and quiet and clean! Great place to stop for a bite, they prefer cash but take all payments! read more

This is a lovely hidden gem bakery just like you find on all the corners of Paris. They've been here for 20 years and their pastries are delicious! read more

AMAZING customer service and very DELICIOUS pastries. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Such a delicious treat on Christmas Eve! I've only tried a few of their pastries, and they were absolutely delicious (even forgot to snap some photos), but the chocolate mousse one was my absolute favorite! So rich and just perfect to go with your morning coffee. I definitely recommend it if you are craving some quality European sweets! read more

i went to bakery with my friends there was this crazy lady who wouldn't like us to put tables next to each other's so we can talk so she started to be mean and started to vacuum and make loud noises and when we asked her vaccuming two hours before closing time was necessary she said she leave at 3 pm and she has to be done before closing,but closing time was at 4 pm anyway she was crazy and she didn't want to serve us cofee.horible experience crazy lady read more

I've been there a few times and the first few times, I thought the female owner was just rushing me to order because while I was looking at the selection, another customer walked in. Whenever I would ask a question about an item, she is always snippy and dismissive, belittling even, as she looks down her nose at me. I ordered something today and looked around at the one dirty inside table and opted to eat in my vehicle parked out front. Mind you, I drive a nice newer vehicle, and I'm nicely dressed. After 10 minutes of listening to my radio and leisurely enjoying my purchase, she comes outside, glaring at me and taps her watch and makes the thumb sign at me to leave. I rolled down my window and asked if she was talking to me. She said that this parking is for customers only. I held up my half eaten item and exclaimed that I AM a customer. She replied that I am loitering and again told me to leave. WOW! Blatantly rude! Folks, there are far friendlier French bakeries in this town. It's too bad that this is the closest one to my home. I'll drive across town for better customer service from now on. This dirty little place isn't worth our time or money spent. Thank you for hearing me out and I wish you a lovely day. read more

Fabulous treats! The fruit tart is unbeatable - the almond tiles are the best that I've had. The savory sandwiches, etc are amazing too! Every delicious treat that we've had there made us look for excuses to return And - to top it off - the gentleman owner is French! No wonder it's all so good! He knows what's delectable . We're already looking for a reason to return next week! read more

Billing itself as an authentic French Bakery Les Delices De Paris has found a niche in the JCC neighborhood along Leetsdale Rd. at Holly. When you're looking for Denver's best quiche you've gotta check out a place that calls itself the "Les Delices" of anything or anywhere. Went in and asked what kinds of quiches they had prepared and was pointed to their salmon version. Turned 'em down when the nice kid behind the counter asked if I'd like it heated in the microwave. (Argh! Bad question. Bad suggestion. Good way to kill any quiche). "No thanks" I replied and took it back to my office to warm it up in the toaster oven. As you can tell from the pic I shouldn't have gone back to my office to work while it was heating up. Burned the top a little and that was my fault, but it wasn't too burnt and 10 minutes in a toaster oven for a quiche is light-years ahead of using a m/w. The body of the quiche was good. And the construction interesting. They'd layered the bottom of the crust with what tasted like fresh salmon, poured the egg base on top and finished it off with what I hoped was gruyere cheese but since I toasted it too much the cheese lost some of its flavor. Again, not their fault. Mine. What was missing however was any depth of flavor boosting the salmon. The quality of the ingredients used, however, was high and solid. The crust was cakey, not flaky. And while some might like that it just didn't ring any taste chimes for me. At least I hadn't let them m/v it so at least the crust wasn't mushy. All in all a good to very good quiche experience but not one I'd travel out of my way to get. read more

The best and always a must stop when taking the pups to the nearby groomers. Sweet gentleman who always helps you out.

I really wish I could give this place more stars. I appreciate an older French couple running this place and probably this being their passion. If I am being real, I felt it was just okay. Let me clarify, the quiches were good. I had the one with mushrooms and I would probably come back for another. The pastry, a raisin one, felt really sweet and just wasn't my style. I was particularly disappointed that the coffee came out of a machine (yeesh, I could have done that at home) and it was in Styrofoam. I want to give this place another chance but when comparing it to another place not too far away, I feel like the selection and atmosphere (read: energy) just wasn't quite there for me. read more

I don't care what anyone says about the clientele, this place is fantastic. And the owners are doing a great job producing authentic French pastries. Be forgiving... not everyone is of the American culture, and that's a good thing. Embrace it. We've had repeat eclairs and fruit tarts, and anything with fresh cream is divine. I honestly haven't found another place that can stand up to Les Delices. You'd be silly not to try it. read more

A true French bakery. The tartes and the large variety of quiches are simply excellent. Pre -ordering for holidays and special events is recommended. Family run and a nice variety of pastries available. Highly recommended. read more

Very disappointed with the owners a older man and older women very rude and in a rush past two time I've been in they have never seemed happy and we tend to order a lot of things but yet they act like we are a burden 0 customer service skills and appreciation for customers very sad because the food is great but dealing with there attitude can ruin ur day. read more

The tartes, the quiches, the small pastries and cookies are all excellent. For special occasions I order an almond-pear tarte, which is perfect. This bakery is the real thing. I hope the French couple who run this gem know how much their customers enjoy their creations. read more

Let me start this review with the understanding that we have been going here for 15 years. The woman that owns it has been very rude but her sweet husband and the pastries always made up for her angry attitude. Unfortunately now the pastries are as horrible as her attitude.This past weekend I came in for some pastries. The croissant were rock hard. I ordered other things for my husband's birthday but everything was still rock hard, dry and tasteless, besides the cherry danish. Not only that but the worst part was her price gouging if you're not French. I asked her how much the Apple tart was and she said $28. I ordered some other pastries and came back to buy the tart and she rang me up and it was $38 and I said no, you quoted me 28 and she said right $28 I'm like right, we go back-and-forth. Then she finally said "I told you the wrong price it's now $38" in the 10 minutes that I was sitting there the price went up by $10?? She wouldn't honor her first!!! Her Price for Americans is more than she charges other customers who speak French fluently. I only know this because I was sitting there when a man came in And had a long conversation with her and she charged him $28. if you want OLD, DRY, and charged extra, pastries and this is your place otherwise I'll look elsewhere read more

We got a cannoli that was soggy. We called the bakery and talked to the owner to complain and ask for our money back. She was rude and said don't bother me I am very busy. We will never go back. read more

Lovely little pastry shop. The cutest older French gentleman helped me who reminded me of my dad. The pastries look beautiful and are authentic French. Butter croissants and apple turnover were lovely. I really wanted to give 5 stars but the raspberry beignet I brought home was very stale. It was at least 2 days old and dry. I am hoping this was a one-off and will give them another try. read more

Beautiful French pastries!!! Loved the eclair with very creamy filling. The large not-too-sweet butter cookie was rich and a perfect texture. Apple and pear tarts were pretty but I wanted a tangier apple flavor and more pear flavor. Strawberry lemon tart was solid. K brought home to me but I'm dying to return to see what else is there! read more

The authentic french pastry experience...even the bakery owner had the most lovely French accent. I'd visit everyday if I could! Before visiting, I'd never known that I could fall in love with a cookie, but low and behold, their curved almond cookie was music to my taste buds. I've had "almond cookies" in the past which were high on almond extract but low on actual almonds, not these, though. I felt like there was a sliced almond orchard packed into every bite. I also ordered the fruit tart, which was nothing short of magnifique! If you have a moment, pop in and delight in the loveliness that this little bakery has to offer. read more

So glad to taste the wonderful pastries. Just one bite and I could tell this is authentic though I only have my teenage years to compare it too. Wonderful memories came flooding back. Beautifully made as well. Go and enjoy! read more

Holy smokes, we were looking for something sweet to eat and just so happened to find this place! So so yummy! We got the Italian quiche, pears flan, and a peach danish and I would 100% get all of them again! Staff was so nice, support local small businesses! read more

Quiches were okay, champignon & Florentine. They were creamy but lacking any depth of flavor and crust was not flaky. No toaster oven. She literally put it in the microwave. Buzz kill. She wasn't welcoming or friendly. Which made the whole interaction weird. 1 word answers. The macaroons were so dry and flavorless. When I say dry I mean literally crumbling and cracking apart like a croutons you tried to eat with a fork. I am so very disappointed. read more

I want to like Les Delices De Paris... For now its 3.5 stars NOT yet to be a fan but I hope I will in the future once I get the chance to order or purchase more items, aka PASTRIES, BAKED Goods from Les Delices De Paris. When I first arrived at Les Delices De Paris, what caught my eyes was the FRENCH MACARONS ready-made pretty pretty being packaged in the Cellophane-type Bags... Oooh so pretty and so colorful, what I meant was the FRENCH MACARONS... Hmm, if only they allow tasting or offer samples of these FRENCH MACARONS... Anyways, to narrow down my search of French pastry I decide to have the Mixed Fruit Tart and The Chocolate Mousse "Dome" while N opt for Croissant and Mixed Fruit Tart too. We were here right after our visit from Andre's, August 23rd 2012. All in all, I like what I had from Les Delices De Paris. I talked to the lovely lady behind the counter with regards in making an order for future events. They require 3 days in advance. Take note for the FRENCH Macarons, for 1 dozen will cost you $15.99. Would the FRENCH Macarons be my next order?? Perhaps it will, one day... one day.... @121/2012 read more

This place was amazing. A little french man owns or operates the place who was incredibly nice to us and the pastries were amazingggggg. We got a almond one and a cream puff and both absolutely perfect. The place is not super nice or "up scale" and not trying hard to be something. Its not a place you would want to hang out, its a take out sort of place which is why a lot of idiots have given it 4 stars rather than 5. Most people let the way a place looks cloud their judgement on the actual quality of the food. (Which is EXTREMELY authentic and also magnificent) read more

Ok, full disclosure-this review is just about the almond and chocolate croissants. So you know where I stand on pastries , I love Taste of Denmark, to an obsession, where I have tried just about everything, including the addictive Napoleons. I also really enjoy pastries at Trompeau bakery. Overall, both croissants here were very good. Buttery layers, almond flavor was light, chocolate was....well chocolatey good. Not a lot of layers but decent. Service was friendly, not gushing but fully acceptable. $5 min on credit card sales so I threw in a latte- one size, I think a 12oz for $4.00 which really wasn't worth it. Shop is tucked away in a corner so not visible from Leetsdale. I really have to try some of their other offerings, so for now, a 3 star. Will go back and try other pastries and also see if service is consistent. read more

Les Delices De Paris - Inside the Chocolate Croissant! - Bakeries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Overall disappointing on all fronts. I usually don't put a lot of stock in the service given but the person behind the counter (proprietor?...employee?) was shall we say having a bad day and it showed. No greeting, no smile, no patience etc. First word out of her mouth to me and my well behaved 4 year old (full disclosure he can be a monster but the two words "chocolate gateau" lulled him into submission long before we arrived) was "don't touch the glass". On to the entremet (pastries), we tried the chocolate dome and chocolate truffle, both were okay. The chocolate dome was mousse layered over a thin cake base which was dry. The truffle cake was all ganache, very rich and no variation on texture. Also didn't enjoy eating this one chilled straight from the display case, good service would have said to let it warm up a bit for maximum enjoyment. Truffles are great when they are bite size but in this portion it needs to be a shared dessert or made much smaller. Lastly, we tried the individual size Mexican quiche (Jalapeno and cheese) which was probably the best of the three items we tried. However, no home runs on this visit. Parking is more than adequate and I suppose if you live around the corner and you are hard up for French desserts this place will do but anyone who has had pastry or entremet in any mid size to large international city NYC, LA, Chicago, Tokyo or France is going to be super bummed. read more

I love their cream puffs. I have to admit I have not tried much else because the cream puffs are so good. The cream is very light like whip cream and the sweetness is just right. Not overbearingly sweet. read more

I recently went to a friend's child's 2 birthday party and they had a cake from here. It was like a tiramisu cake without the alcohol. Not only was it beautiful and detailed with gorgeous colored icing (greens and yellows) but it was so delicious! I have been in the shop once before a few years ago and wasn't as impressed. This cake changes my mind though! It was a work of art and you could tell it was skillfully made. I'll return soon to try more and see what I get. Don't be afraid to go and experience new places. Everyone seems to have a different view on almost everything these days so don't trust one review. See for yourself. It's also important to support our local businesses. If we don't, we'll have a Panera on every corner and I don't know about you but that's not my idea of a good thing. read more
