    Assorted baked goods
    Kristy M.

    Leslie's is a classic bakery that's a can't-miss stop in Holladay. Our family has been enjoying their chocolate rum cakes and rum balls for decades. When you enter, you'll be greeted with the unmistakable smell of a bakery that makes countless delectable tasty treats. In addition to their amazing little cakes, they offer cookies, eclairs, breads, and other baked goods that all look delicious. This place has the feel of a vintage bakery and everyone is really helpful - and patient with someone like me who just can't decide and needs to fill a box with a large variety!

    Overall a pretty basic, old fashioned style bakery, though that's not bad! We just have a lot of options in the area, so it's difficult for one to stand out. I stopped by on a Saturday morning and there were two girls manning the register. They were very sweet, and happy to answer my questions, echoing my excitement and suggesting the freshest/best treats. There is a small bistro table (maybe two?) against the wall, then the center of the shop is totally open, and the cases line the other walls. They weren't entirely full, but there were plenty of options. Seems they specialize in danishes as there were a large variety, along with cookies, cakes, rolls, sausage rolls, and meat pies. They had some canned sodas and bottled water, too. My husband loves eclairs, and they had a small and large (obvs went with the large). They also had individual decorated squares of cakes in a few flavors, and I was intrigued by the chocolate rum with pineapple filling, so grabbed that. Then, though I don't particularly love danishes, felt I was doing them a disservice if I didn't try one, so grabbed the almond flavor. It was about $9 for everything, though I can't say exactly what the price of each item was as they weren't marked (there is a "menu" on the wall, but it doesn't include everything). The eclair was wonderful-my connoisseur husband said it was the best he has had in a long time, and I enjoyed it, too! The filling was like a whipped cream/Bavarian mix, the chocolate frosting was very good, and the sprinkles decorating the ends were actually made of chocolate, not the standard waxy jimmies. The danish was fine. I liked the pastry part, but the filling was a little too almond extract-y, and sweet. The cake was....well, I bought it because I hadn't seen pineapple and chocolate combined, and apparently there's a reason for that: It's gross! Besides that, while a touch of real rum flavor can be nice in dessert, this was verrrry artificial. Now, with the said, when I removed that horrid filling and just ate the chocolate cake and frosting, it was very good as the cake was light and moist. I think this is a case of ordering the wrong things. I should have gone with my gut and grabbed a raspberry danish. And there were plenty of other delectable cake flavors I would like to try (and so many cookies, too!). If nothing else, that eclair truly was fantastic, and eating it is an experience worthy of repeating.

    Awww I really don't want to rate this place with 2 stars, because the lady is so sweet, HOWEVER, I cannot deceive my yelp friends. First and foremost, this is not a French bakery. I was expecting to see croissants of all flavors and fresh bread, and napoleons, but I've been hoodwinked. They actually do not make croissants anymore! ---------------W-H-A-T!?!?!?!--------------- and when I asked why, the lady told me that no one orders croissants anymore. I almost fainted. That should be enough for 1 star right? I didn't see fresh breads or smell any. They were bagged up like they would be at the grocery store. Looking through the glass, I saw "Napoleon" and was really excited! This thing looked like a very sad chocolate cake with sprinkles on it. I don't think they know what a Napoleon cake really is. If you didn't know either, it's a layered puff pastry with pastry cream in between the layers. The best I've found in SLC thus far is Gourmandise.

    The ladies here are so sweet! They even snuck in a rum ball when I said I'd have to come back to try them. :)

    Wowwwww! This was the perfect little run in for a breakfast sandwich, good coffee, and delicious…read morepastries! I also love that you sort of serve yourself instead of needing to point through the glass at everything you want to add. The staff were very helpful and it had a very quiet, chill vibe. Would be a great spot for breakfast and reading!

    I wanted to find a traditional French boulangerie in SLC but did not see one, Zut alors!…read more I know Paris Baguette is a chain and has an Asian twist so we decided to visit on Saturday morning before driving back to Boise. It was early, and it was already busy. TIPs & TRICKs Follow the rules: Get the tray, then the wax paper liner, then use the individual wax papers at the stations to grab what you want. While you're doing that, pay attention to the pricing, because it can add it. To see the plain butter croissants empty already was shocking, but when we told the employee she came back to not only stock it but came to us first and let us pick which ones we wanted off the tray That was very nice The pain du chocolat looked good and were lacking in depth and flakiness of the crunch The Chausson aux Pommes - was really good - They could have used another minute or two in the oven to get that golden brown. They were looking like the pastly white guy at the beach while everyone else had a tan The mochi Dubai Chocolate donut was very good. The total was almost fifty bucks.... I told my wife that we could have about 40 croissants for that price if we were in Paris. C'est la vie! Look for a chain - Its pretty good. I didn't try the coffee but if they ever show up in Boise metro area, I would check them out to see if they match up with SLC.
