This place is good! The eclair is yummy but I came for the queen amann and they were completely sold out, sadly. I did buy the hazelnut moose and it was 10x better than the eclair. So if you're wondering why the price was so much higher than the eclair like I was, now you know - because the hazelnut mousse was extremely decadent. The texture and taste was phenomenal. I'll be back to try your queen aman (French: Kouign-Amann) and the reuben croissant!! read more

I walked into this lovely shop in Narberth after looking for a last minute place to pick up some sweets for a friend's birthday. Not only was I greeted with a warm welcome but the pastries were absolutely delicious. I got two of the lemon tarts, the cheesecake, and the special Swiss roll. I also picked up the Swiss au pan just for funsies and that was delicious. For a wonderful mom and pop type of place, do not miss out on checking them out. I will be heading back to try the macrons next time too! (Sorry I forgot the pictures for the tarts and other baked goods) read more

I don't know how hidden this hidden gem is, but to me it is tucked away. I had the most delicious Pain Aux Raisins here with rum-soaked raisins. It was so crispy and absolutely delightful. My 2-year-old with refined tastes enjoyed his chocolate macaron and the staff were so patient while I tried to decode his toddler-speak to figure out what he wanted. Overall a cute place with a good amount of tasty treats at a decent price as well. read more

Superb and beautiful pastries. Consistent quality. Creative new combinations every week. The chocolate eclairs are a favorite. No bad choices. read more

I had a carmelized croissant today. Never had this before. It blew my mind. I can't wait to come back here and try everything. Beautiful quality pastries. I think this place is a gem. The previous owned bakery it replaced was also great. I am very happy with the transition. read more

I've never been to Narberth before so I was walking the street and stopped in because this place is so cute. I wish I could have tried one of everything because it all looked incredible. Got the turkey croissant (amazing), a coconut macaroon (also amazing), and a decaf mocha (stoked for places that have decaf espresso, and it was amazing). Staff is friendly and super quick at making drinks. Everyone should come here. read more

Great spot. The pastries are both delicious and beautiful. Great selection of tea as well. The service is always quick, kind, and courteous. Hoping this place sticks around for a long time. read more

An absolute JEM of a bakery -- high quality, tasty pastries and desserts. A must go-to spot. Highlights: - Pastrami croissant: basically a Reuben in croissant form. The Rye flour is key. Next time will take home to toast up in air fryer. - Dough knot: if you love caramel, this donut/croissant is for you -- flavors and textures work so well together. We aren't even locals but will definitely be back for more! read more

We really miss Le Petit Mitron because their bakery goods were so authentically French and delicious. Blue Owl replaced Le Petit Mitron, and much to our disappointment, the food quality dropped to that of all the other "French" bakeries. They are OK, but not deliciously French. "Chez Alice" in Lambertsville, NJ is better. read more

This is the BEST bakery in this area!!!! No joke everything I had so far was delicious. My absolute favorite is their eclair and pistachio tart. It's so hard to find eclairs with rich and flavorful cream inside but ones they make check all the boxes for me. Their croissants and other pastries are always really fresh. I feel like the prices are very reasonable. It's similar to a lot of the cafes around this area. The cashiers are always very helpful and sweet. There aren't places to sit inside which can be the only downfall of this bakery. However there are cute chairs and tables outside where u can sit when it's nice out. read more

Amazing baked goods and even better customer service! They went above and beyond to help make sure my order made it into the right hands and I can't thank them enough. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Take a trip to France here at Le Petit Mitron, it's is a great experience. You can definitely satisfy your sweet tooth at this cute bakery shop filled with friendly staff and delicious sweet treats. I came here looking to try a sweet croissant. I discovered that not only did they have different varieties of crossiants from chocolate to cheese but also other delectable french pastries to explore. Make sure to get there early because they make there pastries fresh and they may not have your pastry of choice avaliable if you arrive late due to it selling out. Overall I got the almond croissant and a raisin danish and it was buttery sugary flaky goodnesss! read more

The best bakery in the area for pastries! Everything is delicious and crunchy the way it needs to be! Note they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Friendly staff, I love this shop, but it's dangerous for my diet read more

OMG! Love this place! I live in Maryland so I only get to this bakery when I visit my family in PA. Their croissants are perfect and their canneles are amazing. Really authentically French! Hope to get back here soon! read more

It's a cute little French patisserie right next to the Narberth train station. Perfect to grab a drink and a fresh pastry and catch up with friends or to just snack on something delicious. They do have seating inside and some tables outside. The tables outside would be perfect to sit at when it's nice outside. They have a myriad of teas and confections to buy and I think the chocolates are made in house which is great. I stopped in here with a friend for some tea and a pastry one evening and we each got a tea and split a chocolate croissant and it was great! It's everything I want in a little local bakery and I will definitely go back to try other baked goods from them. The fruit tarts and eclairs looked so inviting. Good job Le petit Mitron! I'm a fan! read more

This place just reopened under new management. I was at first worried that it wouldn't measure up, but after visiting today, all my fears melted away with the first bite of the cheesecake! Amazing french pastries and desserts! read more

It recently changed management and while I think this place is still miles ahead of average American bakeries it does not in my opinion match the quality of the bakes if the prior chef. I tried the opera cake and the chocolate raspberry cake. The opera cake here previously was simply divine. This one was okay. Not the same level at all. And also I think not as good as the French bakery in Ardmore. So yeah, good but as good as the previous management. The previous management had issues too. Whenever we went the store was either closed or items weren't available. read more

As a former city gal who's been to her fair share of bakeries these were one of the best! The kouigin amann were perfectly flaky and nicely glazed which added an extra crunch. We also got the pain suisse, something new that we have never seen in any of our staple philly bakeries which was equally delicious. Staff were friendly and made a mean cappuccino. Also loved seeing the baking cart in the back so you know everything is made fresh and in house. Can't wait to come back! read more

Frozen pastries? I've been coming to Le Petit Mitron since Rick Nichols wrote his 2001 review praising them to the skies and I can vouch for the fact that they, too, froze their pastries. I can also vouch for the fact that Angela and Andrew have made spectacular use of the baton Patrick and Isabelle passed to them, adding canneles to the mix. I can also vouch for the fact that their pastries (like LPM's) freeze well. I buy in bulk and always buy over 100 dollars worth on every visit, as many pastries as will fit in my freezer. If it's a nice day I'll have a few to eat outside with my daughter with a cup of their excellent Herman's coffee. read more

A basic French bakery with more air and accent than substance----the pastries, although slightly over priced, can be dry and sparse in the fruit or seasoning----the baked goods are notoriously over-priced and rarely reflect the value for the price. 26 dollars for a pie that is heavily crust laden and a bit cheesy in its size--the fruit or filling has to be measured by the controller because no abundance of flavoring anywhere. the quiche is small and narrow, hardly worth the price. the added goods such as bonne mamman are available anywhere at 35% less except at Costco where it is more than 50% less. if you like to hear French and want to be worked, it is the place to buy a 3 dollar croissant when a dollar offering at giant does the same job. bring your mask because if you don't, they want to charge you 25 cents to be masked up plus 3 bucks for a small medium tea. home for the wannabees in the heart of the mainline read more

The old owners made the best almond croissant I ever tasted. The new almond croissant is HUGE, so big and heavy it is impossible to eat. there is something different/ wrong about the pastry, although I can't put my finger on it. I do not think they bake all their pastries. I went in to buy an opera and was told they were still frozen. This has been a huge disappointment. I have to drive way across town to get there. I used to be worth it but not anymore. read more

When it comes to classic French bakeries in the Main Line Narberth proper, Le Petit Mitron has been the 2nd best option ever since Georges Perrier opened Art of Bread (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-art-of-bread-narberth#hrid:7wuKSgBaPzCnmrs_l8nSZQ/src:self) as a full blown pâtisserie with more widespread options and a sit down sandwich menu. However if you're looking for more of a take away option with traditional pastries, coffee on the go, or just a place to pickup Kinder and other European chocolates; its here that wins out. The croissants are crisp and buttery, the tarts are whimsical and fruity, and offerings like the hazelnut and chocolate creamed Opera elevate things to a whole new level of decadence. If you need a cup of joe on the go you'll find La Colombe's finest at a decent price. And your sweet tooth may persuade you to walk away with some truffles, biscotti, jams, and other treats. The Main Line prices for most of these may be just a touch up there, but the reward of its decadence is worth it. read more

This little simple pastry shop is a crown jewel of Narberth it reminds me of those little pastry shops in Vernon, France their pastries are French made in heaven - beautiful good looking pastries and taste good same thing with their staff are like good looking French ladies.Oohrah read more

I don't eat sweets but everyone I've gotten a cake for from here loves it! Also really good coffee and friendly service. It's a great tiny place and always will by people treats from this place read more

I have been looking for a good french pastry shop since I moved to Philadelphia and I am so glad I found Le Petit Mitron! You can find macarons, croissants, cakes and tarts, which are all very delicious by the way (the chocolate croissant is to die for). What I enjoyed the most however is their selection of imported french cookies and chocolates and candies. Straight from my childhood! If Teisseire, Prince de Lu, Barquette, Or Calisson d'Aix means something to you, you MUST stop by Le Petit Mitron. If not, you should go anyways and enjoy a crispy, delicate and totally satisfying croissant. With coffee or tea! read more

A cute bakery to fill the needs of your sweet tooth. They had consistent customers but not crowded. The staff are verryy nice and pleasant. I saw a lot of pastries and desserts I've never seen before. I had their "opera" and the pumpkin spice latte. I also bought a french choco/cookie. Everything was great! The opera was decadent and unique tasting. I also saw that thrybhave la colombe coffee but I didn't get it this time around... I plan on coming back next time I'm in town! FYI- They have minimal seating indoors and a couple of tables and chairs outside. read more

Went in last week and discovered that new owners/management have taken over. The opera cake was one of my favorite desserts, but the new version is not as delicate as the previous version which was probably 2/3 of the current size with much thinner layers. The new version is fine but just not the same in flavor or execution. I'll be back to try again but this does not match up to the previous version of the bakery. read more

Croissants here use 100-percent butter as opposed to a 50/50 mix of butter and margarine, so it's the real deal and explains the price tag. In fact, I'd say most of their pastries are pretty good, though I think Aux Petits Delices in Wayne does Napoleon Slice better - I think it has more vanilla in it. The Lindors are very overpriced (90 cents a piece) considering they're the same variety you can get at Rite Aid or CVS. If they were the exclusives that you can only get at the Lindor store in the Premium Outlets or Allentown, then I could better justify the price. read more

This place is crazy good. Real French pastries made by people with accents. I will gladly have cardiac procedures in exchange for enjoying these delicacies. read more

This is a place I will freely admit is beyond my sophisication level. I don't speak French. I can't eat a lot of pasteries because of my damn dairy allergy, especially French ones ( oh the cream filling) but this is one of my favorite places to walk into and even just buy a cookie. A small, tiny cookie from this place. That makes my whole day . The coffee is supreme- La Colombe. The teas- so many selections. the pasteries- so wonderful. On Saturday morning when we have our children we buy 12 croissants and they are gone in minutes ( greedy bitches). There are so many wonderful choices of pasteries it's too wonderful to even think about. In the summer, they have a delectable sorbet in again- wonderful- flavors like mango and raspberry. The children ask all winter for it. One can also buy chocolates ( so romantic) and candies ( so sweet). Even lollipops. I wish the place was open right now...sigh. It's just so French and so delicious and so romantic and so- wonderful. read more

Whenever I want to be really nice to friends, I go to Le Petit Mitron to get them treats. They make the only real croissants in the area, from what I've found. They make their own chocolates. Sublime desserts. Walking into the store, the aroma transports one to somewhere close to heaven on earth. Thank you, petit Mitron! read more

I wouldn't recommend this store to anyone. My fiance and I stopped here today to buy some cookies. which I've had many times before. This was my first time in the actual store and the customer service was atrocious. We were the only two patrons in the store, yet we were not greeted and no one offered to help us with anything. I made eye contact with both employees, yet received blank stares in return. A woman and her daughter walked in behind us and were greeted warmly, which was a blatant difference from silence we were greeted with. I'm extremely disappointed as I've recommended this shop to MANY colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania based on food quality. I will no longer be patronizing this shop or recommending it to anyone. Extremely disappointed. read more

Tres bien! Magnifique! Et c'est la verite! I thoroughly enjoyed a sublime almond croissant. Fresh, crisp, buttery, multi-layered, filled with almond paste and sprinkled with sliced almonds & powdered sugar. Parfait!

Everything I've tried from Le Petit Mitron has blown me away. I absolutely adore their cheese croissants! The crust on the tarts is crunchy and flaky and perfectly balanced with the sweet fruit. And their iced coffee is perfect! read more

This is the best bakery in the area. The deserts are out of this world good. The people who own and run Le Petit Mitron are French. My French buddy swears that the pastries here are even better than what he can get in his French hometown. Last week, I had a blueberry tart from here that was insanely fresh. If you're anywhere near Narberth, I highly recommend making a stop at Le Petit Mitron. read more
