Great spot for dessert after dinner or as part of a date, too. I specifically went in for the "fancy" hot chocolate, which is made with real chocolate pieces. The baked goods were also tasty - my only suggestion is to make sure you ask to have your item warmed up, depending on what you get, as they are kept in a cool case and something like a brownie for example was pretty hard to eat. The sever did recognize this and offered to heat it up after the fact; which made it perfect. All of the baked goods were perfectly wrapped or garnished. The interior has a decent amount of seating and lots of dried flowers everywhere. Definitely try the hot chocolate!

    La Gourmandine is always a solid choice, and our Thanksgiving order proved it again. We picked up a…read morepumpkin tarte and an apple tarte--each meant to serve about six--and both were delicious. The flavors were balanced, the pastry was buttery and delicate, and they looked as good as they tasted. The total came to $50.65, which feels pretty standard for a French bakery once you understand the baseline is a bit higher than your typical American dessert spot. For the quality, it's well worth it. Consistently great, reliably tasty, and perfect for special occasions or whenever you want to treat yourself. The staff is friendly. It's usually busy here and not conducive to eating inside.

    I heard this was one of the famous bakeries I must check out in Pittsburgh. I got their pistachio…read moreeclair, ham and cheese croissant, and almond croissant -- all tasted wonderful and light. The croissants were great when you lightly air fry/toast them if you don't eat them right away. In Lawrenceville, it's a small location with a couple of outdoor seating but none inside. However, it is a chain so you might have one in your little area. My only thing is that the pistachio eclair is very sweet (so if you don't have a sweet tooth, maybe I'd go for another subtler dessert). I saw they have a deal where you can get a baguette, sandwich, and drink for $7. Good deal imo considering the quality of their bread, and it's a good excuse to buy a sweet treat with it!

I am lactose intolerant and 2. they tend to feel really heavy on my stomach, especially after a full meal. This was my first time trying their non-dairy milkshakes and wow. I got the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry non-dairy milkshake and it was 10/10. The ambiance was really nice and the employees were super friendly. They gave us a few recommendations, and while we were waiting for our milkshakes, they even let us try some of their chocolate bark. I was honestly surprised by how good it was. The peanut butter marshmallow chocolate bark was my favorite, and my boyfriend ended up buying a few while I was in the restroom haha. I will definitely be back to try some of their other non-dairy options!

Even the young staff were surprised I showed up like it was the first day of summer. After perusing the menu for a nanosecond, I went with the $7.95 Caramel Toffee Cappuccino Milkshake. It featured espresso, caramel sauce, whipped cream, toffee bits, and a wedge of dark chocolate (Photo 9). Just what I was craving in the dead of winter.
