Great French patisserie. Croissant sandwiches, quiche, delicious macrons. It's a little bit of Paris!

If you are looking for a fabulous spot to enjoy a nice coffee and some very authentic French Pastries, you don't want to miss dropping into this shop. The food is right out of a sidewalk Parisian cafe. The staff are pleasant and efficient as well as knowledgeable about the many wonderful imported items they sell. Don't miss out folks!! read more

I love this little French market/cafe hidden in Nashville. It gives you full on French experience. Their coffee and pasties are really tasty. You get to enjoy little cute seatings inside and outside. Great selection of items in the market section. I think it's family owned and they were so friendly. If you need that French vibe in the middle of Nashville, try this one! read more

Checked out this quaint shop in Green Hills area of Nashville, TN. It is so cute with a bakery and it is filled with French food items. I really enjoyed the music in the shop. There was a variety of French relaxing pop music playing. I had a late quick lunch there. I ordered a puff pastry pizza that was simple and delicious. It had puff pastry as the base, a good quality mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil and fresh tomato slices. Perfect meal as I was not that hungry. Also ordered a croissant to go. It was divine. So fresh and soft. May have to order another one. The service was on point. When I entered I was greeted by staff and given some recommendations. The bathroom was nice and tidy. The bakery/restaurant is located with other shops. Parking is challenging as I was not sure where to park. Would love to return when I am in the Nashville area. Wonderful spot! read more

This place is superb! Whichever location you go to, you will not be disappointed - at least I never have. They have amazing pastries and savory food. I love their chocolate croissant, baguette sandwiches, the earl grey and pistachio macarons I don't know how they get them to taste so good, it blows my mind. There's plenty more I love and recommend but I never remember what they're called. Every employee has been friendly and helpful. If you want to sit down inside then this is the location to visit. It's a little cramped but cozy cute. You can also check out all their chocolates and other packaged items. read more

Little Gourmand is the real deal. They have an extensive shop (complete with all of the Edmond Fallot Dijon mustards!!!), quaint seating, delicious pastries, and some of the friendliest folks in Nashville. Their staff walked us through each of the pastries in the case, and Eric was so genuine and kind, checking on everyone and helping to answer questions or just to have a chat. We opted for the ham and cheese croissant, which they top with a rich bechamel and warmed up until the cheese was perfectly gooey. We also got a pistachio chocolate eclair, coffee eclair, raspberry tart, and an apple pastry. My favorite bite was the raspberry tart, but all were delicious! Will definitely be dropping by for sweet treats and gifts again soon read more

I LOVE IT HERE!!! i highly highly highly recommend both locations apple pound cake: 8/10 i have been to their other location in berry hill and didn't realize it wasn't their main one, i was so excited to try this location. it is so cute here they have beautiful little tables and a whole selection of gift type snacks to buy. the owner was so nice! the apple pound cake was delicious. i got there late in the day so they were out of everything which i was expecting. i will be back here in the morning and leave another review on their selection. at the berry hill location i went towards closing and they were still fully stocked basically. i am also not sure what else they would have at this location, it seemed the other location has more display space? but maybe i just need to see it when it's full and so we will see. read more

I stopped here shortly before closing on the recommendation of a friend. I was disappointed I couldn't get there earlier as I was hoping to get one of their baguette sandwiches for dinner. But this just tells me they only serve fresh baked items. Not a bad thing. I left with a small amount of loot anyway and will definitely try to get back. I don't live in Nashville and only have time here occasionally but I think it will be worth the effort. I was also thrilled that someone spoke French in the shoppe. I am trying to learn French and was able to practice un peu which was amazing. I'd definitely recommend for any Francophile. read more

Little Gourmand - Some sort of pastry I bought and had with my coffee the next morning. It was delightful. An eclair? - Specialty Food Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville and its suburbs are lacking in high-quality, European bakeries, so I was thrilled to discover this spot. I had my first experience at Little Gourmand this week with my daughter for lunch. This particular spot is a market & cafe. This is such a charming place! It's very tidy and organized, and the food is very good. I had a baguette sandwich with meat, brie, and butter, and my daughter had a little pizza on a croissant crust. We shared an eclair. The market is so special, we purchased some French chocolate, tea, a giant French shortbread cookie, and four macarons to take home. The macarons are delicious, each one unique in flavor. My daughter and I take little nibbles at a time and "ooh" and "ahh" over the thoughtfulness that went into creating them. She and I bake together often, and we deeply appreciate a quality baked-good! The two women working were very kind and helpful, and the French gentleman working was a delight to chat with. I have a soft spot for international markets and food. I believe it's a privilege to step into anothers' culture for a bit, experience the food, music, and goods. I love being transported to another world! I dearly want this bakery to succeed - our community as a whole will be better for it. Having traveled to Europe, I cannot imagine the limitations the owners must face with acquiring ingredients, training pastry chefs, and pleasing the Southern-American palette. My only wish is that they someday expand into Brentwood; so they're a little closer to home! read more

Went on a Saturday just after opening. Everyone was so welcoming and happily answered all my questions. Parking was easy with many available in the front of the complex that had the feel of a small town shopping experience. I got pastries and a chocolate bar: an almond croissant, eclair, apple turnover and a Milk Boy chocolate. 10s across the board for this place. The patisserie was charming and had seating inside and outside. Can't wait to go back for macaroons. read more

So we stopped in here today at about 3:45. We apparently need to come earlier next time. There were not too many fresh offerings left but we did score some Macarons an Eclair and two Croissants!! Oh, and a $11 chocolate bar! The staff were SUPER nice, answering questions and not judging. It was a nice pit stop for some luxury items. (They had caviar in a fridge!!!! - Next time!). I wish I had asked about their sandwiches but we were in a hurry. Please stop by, beautiful little shop, tons of jarred goods I will purchase next time, and delicious goodies! read more

Cute, got yummy hot chocolate mix & passion fruit juice. I didn't love the baguette sandwich, personally

Great croissants and sweets with a great variety. Hard to choose from so many lovely desserts! Will definitely be back.

The ambiance is immaculate. The service is amazing, he took his time to explain all the different types of pastries. The pastries are to die for. There's nothing like them in the area. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday on our way out of town. I'm glad we did. Unfortunately, they didn't have many of the baked goods I saw in other reviews. But what we had was awesome. We had the croque monsieur, leek and parm pastry, mushroom and feta (I think) pastry, tomato mozzarella quiche and a pistachio eclair. Loved every single thing I ate. LOVED. It was worth fighting traffic from downtown to get here. Shop is really cute. The owner was very kind and service attentive. There's a small parking lot for easy parking, but I imagine this fills quickly on the weekends. read more

Raspberry tartlets, basil and EVOO crackers, sparkling apple and pear juice, apricot and lavender preserves and salmon rillettes! #DateNightStarterKit But whatever you get, please make certain to pick up some macaroons! It will not be a regret. Guaranteed! read more

So Authentic. I love the fresh food and REAL ingredients. I will be back! (The baguettes are amazing.)

I can understand how this place can appeal to a certain segment of the population, but it's not going to appeal to the coffee loving public. It's more women's shop, not a coffee shop. Coffee is not too good, and even the store's inventory is targeting half the population ( women ). If you identify as a woman you're going to love this place for its knickknacks. Not it's coffee. read more

Greedy shop owner, completely overpriced. I asked for a refund immediately after the point of sale, as i realized i made a mistake, and shop owner refused. Mind you, they didnt make anything on the order, just an espresso and pastry. Didn't even grab an empty cup, or get the pastry out of the case. After about 10 minutes of playing hardball, finally refunded the $9 pastry, but still forced us to pay for and take their overpriced espresso. read more

Love this place. I have loved everything I have tried at this restaurant. The sandwiches are amazing, I am not a fan of macaroons but theirs are amazing. They have fantastic caviar. The service has always been great. It's a refreshing space. Highly recommend if you are in Nashville. Really feel like I'm in a small cafe in France every time I visit. Love this place. read more

Sandwich was very good (I got the last one by the time I got to the register at 1pm). Line moves very slow.

Since moving to Nashville this place has been one of my favorites. Sandwiches, bakery and snacks are so delicious. Live a good 30 minutes away but well worth the trip. read more

I am very happy to find this place where I can buy very good eclair in Nashville! The store is owned by French couple and makes you feel really authentic too. Inside has a lot of French / European food and stuff. When I went, there are only few kinds of eclair, which not sure if that's what it is most of time or I just went bad timing. Hope in my next visit, I see more kinds of pastries and cakes. read more

Their food is so authentic - the best patisseries in Nashville and the area. The service is outstanding. Everything about both locations is supreme.

Super cute store! Great pastries! The staff was super friendly and explained all the different options. Highly recommend!

This place was such a fun find! The owner looks like a rock star and was so friendly and polite, he held the door for each customer on their way out! There are so many neat foods and ingredients here, it was fun to just walk around and look. I ultimately decided on some yummy graham cracker like cookies with a chocolate filling peeking out through a happy face cutout and some of the macarons. Omg I was totally blown away by just how delicious and pretty the sea salt caramel and passionfruit macarons were--the best I've ever had! I also enjoyed the other packaged cookies when I got home but nothing can compare to the tastiness that is their macarons, they are a must-try! read more

´Tis the season to place your Yule Log (Bûche de Noël) order! I am so glad that Little Gourmand sent a reminder e-mail as it had totally slipped my mind. If you've never had this iconic French dessert, I assure you that this is the year to try it! This past Saturday, both stores offered complimentary tastings of the two options - the Saint Germain was beyond light, airy, and oh-so-chocolatey and I was completely amazed by the explosion of fruit flavor from the Pigalle! I choose to order the Pigalle but only because I've had the chocolate Bûche de Noël in years past - it was an extraordinarily difficult decision because they are both so incredibly delicious! I'll be picking mine up Christmas Eve and it will be a great way to enjoy the holiday. Et comme d'habitude, les propriétaires étaient gentils et gracieux. J'ai profité mon café, les macarons, et mon sandwich - tous étaient merveilleux! Je vous recommande ce magasin pour tous vos besoins alimentaires français. (And as usual, the owners were kind and gracious. I enjoyed my coffee, the macaroons, and my sandwich - all were wonderful! I recommend this store to you for all of your French food needs.) read more

I visit Nashville often and stay in an area close to Greenhill. Today I was looking for a coffee shop that has a croissant and found this cute little shop! It's a market place with French goodies and a bakery that sells croissants, financiers, quiches, macarons, and a few other patisserie items. There are seats alongside one corner of the store. The people who work (2 French people-couple?- and one clerk who also seemed to speak French) were so pleasant and helpful. And I love hearing French language! I got an espresso and an almond croissant to eat in and took a Lyonnais sandwich to go. * Almond Croissant ($4.50) was superb - a lot of sliced almonds with marzipan inside, great texture and flavor. I like it more with a crispier, flakier texture, but I still enjoyed this one very much. * Lyonnais sandwich ($9.95) was fabulous! It's a very simple sandwich made on a baguette with dry salami, gherkins, and salted butter..but everything was of great quality, and the proportion of things was very much to my liking. Salted French butter was great! * Financier with raspberries was also excellent. Great almond flavor and soft texture, perfectly baked. * Espresso was fine..(a bit weak for my taste...but I'm very picky about my coffee!:)). They only have espresso or Americano. No cappuccino, etc. I also purchased a butter cookie tin that was so pretty! It's a really cute place that serves well made baked items and sandwiches. It's well run. It seems maybe a bit pricey, but I don't mind it and will definitely go back. It brought me fond memories of visiting cafes and bakeries in France, and I think that's what exactly this place is trying to do. read more

I love Paris for many reasons....the wine, gorgeous landmarks, etc...but my all time favorite thing to do while there is consume exorbitant amounts of jambon-beurre baguette sandwiches. Readily available, these take out Parisian sandwiches are always the highlight of my trip. Sadly, it's been impossible to find elsewhere outside of France....until now. The lovely French couple behind Little Gourmand exceeded my wildest expectations in offering traditional French snacks. My jambon-beurre featured real French butter, French ham & a nice slab of Brie...instantly transporting me back to Paris! Perhaps, even fresher than most I've had in France. The prices are higher than France (of course) but I'll GLADLY pay it since they are bringing in the freshest ingredients. Can't recommend this place enough. They'll even playfully speak in France to you while running transactions. read more

I know, you hate Greenhills, as do I, but this little shop must be added to your "try asap" list. This tiny cafe has a limited menu of mostly petite desserts, homemade baguette sandwiches, quiche and soup of the day, and several coffee/tea options but don't think the flavors are shorted. Our baguette sandwiches made us long for Paris and we vowed to come back to try the croissants and desserts in the future. The sundry item section is extensive and perfect for a last minute hostess gift or to find that unique spread you want to add to your charcuterie platter. I wanted all the jams, jellies, mustards, but refrained from getting too carried away. Go here and get your fill of authentic croissants and baguettes and pick up that jam you've only heard about on those fancy cooking shows. You won't be disappointed. read more

This review is for a visit I made a few months ago, but this place made an impression on me! I was in search of some tasty pastries, and Little Gourmand had popped up on my IG timeline more than once, which I took as a sign to follow them, and eventually make my way to their shop. They have two locations - I visited the one located in Green Hills. A small, intimate shop that doubles as a grocery and a cafe, I spent some time at the counter, gazing in dreamy awe at the selection of pastries. They also make hot sandwiches. They have a much larger selection at the Melrose location, from what I understand, but I was satisfied! I ended up with a lemon tart, and an eclair. The shop was empty when I arrived, so I was able to grab a table and sit, taking in the ambience. The owners were very sweet, and would check on me periodically as I munched away. People came in and out during my time there, but it never got super crowded, which I loved, because it felt like I had the place to myself. This cafe definitely made a positive impression on me, and I look forward to going back! read more
