My husband and I make a point to stop in here every Saturday morning or afternoon. Its such a treat to have La Gourmandine on a weekly basis but we can't help ourselves. There's nothing that I've had from La Gourmandine that I haven't liked. Almond croissants, chocolate croissants, apricot pastries, and even sandwiches. Everything is flaky, buttery, and absolutely perfect. I absolutely love that the dessert pastries are sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet.
My only complaint is that you kind of have to know what you want when coming in. The workers try to be efficient and get everyone out the door as soon as possible, so that could be a lot of pressure when you're just in awe of all the beautiful options. However, you really could just point randomly at anything in the display case and it be good. You also can't go wrong with any of the items I listed above if you want to go in prepared to spitfire your order. But one bite of a pastry and you can forget all about being rushed to order.
I will be here again and again and I recommend you do the same! So worth it!
