On my way to the dentist I spotted this place and after a recent trip to Europe was craving a decent croissant. I made a mental note and prayed I remebered it after having my mouth violated by gloved hands and metal instraments. While I was leaving the dentist office I almost went to a fast food joint but then actually remembered Little Gourmand! So glad I did!! It was so great getting a great almond croissant plus I added the seasonal spring matcha for a pick me up as I headed to a spreadsheet filled day at work. I made a mess of my desk eating the croissant but didn't care because it was delish! read more

Popped into little gourmand to grab my friend a birthday goodie. Came out like a bandit with a pastry and fruit tart! They were so sweet and wrapped it with a little bow for her. The shop was more of a small cafe vibes to-go but the smells were immaculate. The staff were all so friendly! read more

Stopped in on a busy Saturday - the line was out the door! Lots of baked goods to choose from - the quiche was delicious. Staff was very friendly, he offered to warm it up too despite it being so busy. Parking was a bit rough because it's a strip, and I recommend getting there early! Inside it's a bit cramped, but it wasn't a bother since the line moved so quick! Check it out if you're in the area and craving a treat! read more

Little Gourmand - Bakeries Near Me - Berry Hill, Tennessee

If you are looking for a little slice of France in Nashville, Little Gourmand delivers. Croissants are perfectly flaky, golden, and buttery and the espresso is rich and smooth. Two quintessentials that remind me of times in Paris. The vibe is charming and quaint and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. When I was visiting, they had a French word of the day and I thought that was a cute addition! read more

Fantastic authentic French bread and pastries. Mostly a take away spot with a couple of sidewalk cafe tables to enjoy an espresso and bite on site. So many delicious options made it hard to choose. But I can highly recommend the quiche, almond croissant, and macarons. Always love to support small women owned businesses as a bonus, and easy to do when it's this high level quality! read more

Pricey but really good treats, so it's definitely a treat yourself kind of place. The macarons are light and delicious, perfect texture and filling inside. I got the passion fruit, earl grey, chocolate, and coffee macarons and the passion fruit is probably my favorite because it has that fresh passion fruit taste. The earl grey stood out as well because it tasted like the tea. They sell sandwiches, croissants, and coffee as well. I tried their ham and cheese croissant and the kind guy heated it up for me and it was good. As you can see, lots of cheese on top. Lots of parking spots here. I wish there was more seating, there's only 2 little tables outside, but it makes sense since the space is small. read more

I think this place is a little overpriced. Maybe because it's in Nashville... Who knows. The macaroon did not taste fresh at all it was subpar. The lemon tart was a tiny amount lemon curd with mostly crust. I did not like the crust it went in the trash so you get maybe about 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon curd on the top, which was tasty. But for the price you pay, not worth it. read more

Chef Denis makes the Best and the Only organic whole wheat sourdough in Nashville. I buy it weekly!

Amazing pastries, curated gourmet goods from France, and adorable ambiance. Friendly staff, too! We love this place!

Even though we came in the late afternoon and there were not that many pastries to choose from, we really liked the place, everything was delicious and beautiful. Very good coffee. I noticed that most people had to-go orders since there are only 2 small tables outside of the shop. read more

Little Gourmand - Vanilla latte and chocolate croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Berry Hill, Tennessee

Delicious and delicate pastries, but with a steep price tag. My trip here was by accident. I had an errand in the same shopping center and popped in after to get my wife some treats. I bought a six pack of macarons and one caramel eclair. The macarons were perfect! Light and chewy with just the right amount of filling. My favorite was the coconut, pistachio, and the coffee flavor. My wife loved the sea salt caramel and chocolate hazelnut. The passion fruit macaron was just meh. The caramel eclair was also just ok. I'm not sure if it was the flavor or the texture, but neither of us were feeling it. These treats do cost a pretty penny, but you can see the effort and care that goes into each one. They are like tiny works of art. I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to come back here, but if I was the neighborhood I would stop in and try their savory pastries. That ham and cheese croissant was calling my name! read more

Stop.... I love the imported beverages but those pastries??? Awesome and attentive customer service. But those pastries??? Call me a snob because I just came back from Europe... but even the Euro train pastries where fresher then theses. My family said don't bring these back home again. Noted. ***SPECIAL MENTION*** There are now only 3 restaurants that can make me pull over and eat the pastry before making it home. I really need for this establishment to work with Brightside Bakeshop on how to make the pain aux raisins. Dozen Bakery on how to make a basic croissant. And (newly found for me) Buttermilk Ranch on non-classic croissants. Because the 3 mentioned restaurants, I have literally pulled over to devour their pastries that usually don't make it home. And if your pastries are not making my mouth water so bad to pull over and continue eating them in a parked space, then it's wasting my time and money. So all I can say is do better! I do understand this is not Lillie, France. And I probably shouldn't compare. But dear God... these were just horrible. We didn't finish them. That was $90 of pastry down the drain. Just do better! I know you can! You have 3 restaurants I've listed to get notes on how! read more

Little Gourmand - Come early or this!!! Lol - Bakeries Near Me - Berry Hill, Tennessee

What a neat little place this is, located in a pretty epic part of the city considering the notable restaurants nearby. Little Gourmand transports me back to France where I have often vacationed, with artfully-decorated pastries and quiche made fresh, potato chips and snacks imported from France, even a French radio station playing over the speakers. It's really an immersive experience. I was very happy to find my favorite dessert featured here, the Napoleon. It was flaky, creamy, flavorful, everything it should be. The raspberry éclair was also pretty good, and the variety of éclairs is tremendous! The ham and cheese breakfast croissant was light and airy, expertly prepared and of very high quality. The spinach and feta version was even better. Little Gourmand is a pricey stop, but you're paying for quality. They definitely passed my test. read more

I am picky about my almond croissants, and the ones at Little Gourmand set the standard by which I judge all the others. Of course, the shop offers many tempting pastries and baked goods - but I keep coming back (early in the morning because they sell out) for those almond croissants. And the staff deserve a shout out too - always friendly and helpful. read more

I adore this place. Authentic, baked on site French pasteries and breads. The people working there are amazing, and everything I've tried I fell in love with. I have to limit my visits, because when I get in there, I want everything, I have no self control. It's like I think there will be no more food anywhere, ever.... read more

As a Francophile I was especially delighted to find this little gem tucked right off of 8th Avenue. The little gourmand offers baked French treats both sweet and savory. I picked up a tomato goat cheese quiche, pistachio eclair, mille feuille, and a hot chocolate. The quiche was delightfully flavorful and light; the sweets were as you would imagine--delicious and not overly sugary. I especially enjoyed my hot chocolate. This is a take your stuff and go kind of a place. They offer soups and sandwiches as well. A perfect place to grab some goodies for a picnic! read more

Little Gourmand - Quiche - Bakeries Near Me - Berry Hill, Tennessee

The most authentic, sweet little Parisian bakery in berry hill just off Franklin road! I stopped in for a Parisian baguette sandwich and some macaroons.... And it did not disappoint! Highly recommend the Campagnard baguette and salted caramel macaroon. Fair warning: there are only two little outside bistro tables for seating. read more

I love this place, both of the locations, but I typically go to Berry Hill for convenience. I have noticed the pastries are taking on the aroma of the savory items and it lessens the deliciousness. Maybe they are too close when they come out of the oven? read more

One of my favs moving here to Nashville. Everything is delicious here and staff is great and friendly

I've never been into the restaurant but order from here. I don't know what type of culinary sorcery goes on at this place but the food is AMAZING! The bread is so fresh and crusty, the pastries are works of art, even the butter is the creamiest best butter I've ever had. Hats off to these guys they know what they are doing. read more

Very pleased with the selections here. An acquaintance recommended Little Gourmand so had to try it. We had a Madeleine and a Napoleon. Both were outstanding and I was sad that we opted to share! Will return! read more

Had been itching to try this place and finally popped in a few weeks ago. Bought a baguette (made elsewhere per staff), a chocolate croissant and an apple pound cake pastry (forgot French name). My favorite was the apple pound cake; baguette was fine but the croissant was forgettable. The prices were also astronomical.... Wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

This place is fabulous. I got the chefs special pastry in raspberry and LOVED it. The perfect amount of sweet. I also tried one of the savory croissants which was delicious. I highly reccomend to get yourself a little treat. The staff was also very helpful and knowledgeable about the items. read more

Their pastries are consistently delicious, not too crazy about their croissants. They are on the dry side, and to me, they lack the buttery texture one expects. read more

Great treats and great staff! Best croissants in town! would highly recommend! Everything is fresh!

My wife and daughter-in-law had come here on a few occasions, but this was my 1st time to visit. I was very impressed with the food and the ambiance. From what I understand, the owner is from Paris, France. I cannot imagine a French pastry shop in Paris being much better! My wife and I both had ham and cheese croissant, and a pain au chocolat! Wow! If you are looking for breakfast or brunch but it's not too heavy, you must visit this place. The prices are very reasonable and the food is simply delicious. I will be back soon! read more

The real deal, folks! Everything I've ever had here is just as good or even better than what I've eaten in France. It's shocking this place can be found in an unassuming strip mall. Must get: croissant, macaron, and my favorite: the Parisian deluxe sandwich. Whenever I'm in Paris, I stuff myself silly on their sandwiches. The version at Little Gourmand is just as good and on a fresh baguette (fresher than mostly you'll grab in Paris)! Their second location in Nashville is a very welcomed addition to the Melrose Neighborhood. read more

It's picnic time in Music City and there's no better place to pick up some of the best sandwiches in town, plus sparkling beverages and sweets, than Little Gourmand. This location is the original, where all the food is prepared daily. If you haven't tried their freshly baked baguettes, you are in for a treat--they are absolutely authentic in chew and flavor. The simplest sandwich is my favorite because it has 4 highest quality ingredients: housemaid French baguette, French butter, French ham and French cornichons. It is perfect--because each ingredient is superlative: the ham texture and flavor is so different from here in the US, the butter's rich sweet/screams France, and even the little pickle slices are neither sharp and acidic or overly sweet! Take one bite, close your eyes and you are in France! The croissants are the best I've found in Nashville but are best first thing in the morning as our humidity can make them a tad damp as the day goes on: flaky, beautifully layered, a hint of sweetness. The sweets are so abundant I've never gotten to them all! Two macarons are my faves: the Sea Salt Caramel -- perfectly, paper-thin, brittle exterior, soft-never-gummy interior and decadent caramel in the center AND one I've never seen anywhere else, the Creme Brûlée! This one is completely different as due to the incredibly generous creme brûlée filling it is moist, so the texture is not like the rest, but soft and a bit chewy. It is amazing! The mango-passion fruit tart is heavy on the passion fruit which I love, and is large enough to serve 2 people amply for dessert, or 3 after a large meal. I don't recommend eating an entire one all by yourself; I foolishly tried this and was overcome :)))). There are many sandwiches available including one with French Brie so check their menu, and don't forget the quiche, with that silken texture the French do best. The Green Hills location has a French grocery as well, with all sorts of tempting products! read more

Little Gourmand - Bakeries Near Me - Berry Hill, Tennessee

Disappointing. Don't get me wrong food was ok but the service and atmosphere are super cold and unpleasant. Came all the long way to try French baguette and asked the women working there 4 times if she can warm it up she told us no, and didn't care about our experience at all. There is hardly any place to sit so it's not some cute little French place you could expect from the pictures. There is only 2 tables in the parking lot and a lot of traffic noise. I would recommend find another place worth spending money for the experience you getting. Also it is very expensive. Puffs for $8.5 and butter is $3, everywhere else puffs costs $3-4. Just skip it if you don't want your mood would be ruined. read more

Loved the atmosphere here. The service was amazing, we were thoroughly told what each item was so we could choose what we would like. Everything tasted incredible, will come back again. read more
