| - I am Romanian and I have been looking for this bakery for 2 years!!!
I finally found it on a Romanian community website.
I really think the location makes it difficult to get a lot of business so I hope my review can get more people to try it. I live in Chandler, but the 45 min-1 hour drive is totally worth it!
I am going to explain what some of the pastries are in case you are not familiar with them.
The bakery makes European pastries, especially French and Romanian ones, as well as Swiss chocolate. You can see awards from different local festivals and contests displayed on the walls. They have an extensive catalog of wedding, birthday cakes, cupcakes and other pastries. I think I know where I'm getting my wedding cake from!
SERVICE: Best ever! I called on Friday to ask for Diplomat cake and Peaches. The owner told me he only sells Diplomat by the roll and that he does not have time to make Peaches for Saturday. Friday morning I get a voice mail message from him saying that he had 2 slices of Diplomat cake ready for me and that he also found the time to make me Peaches. WOW! Needless to say that alone impressed me.
PRICE: For what you get and compared to other pastry prices in the US, they're rather low. I bought 6 gourmet pastries for a total of $13.26.
TASTE: Authentic!!! I grew up eating most of these pastries, so I can attest that the Diplomat, Dobos and Peaches are exactly as I remember them back in Romania. They were fresh, tasty, made from scratch, with rum extract and real whipped cream.
SOME PASTRIES you can find at Le Napoleon:
- Diplomat - soft angel-food like roll filled with a refreshing custard cream and tiny pieces of fruit, topped with whipped cream. Perfect for the summer!
- Dobos - thin layers of honey cake soaked in honey syrup with rum extract, filled with caramel/coffee butter cream and topped with caramel or chocolate. A little reach, but delicious!
- Peaches - Similar to whoopie pies, but the outside cookies are crunchier, filled with a cocoa and rum extract butter cream. Oh, so good!
- Carpati - thin layers of cake filled with cocoa butter cream, covered in dark chocolate.
- Several pastries that are Petit-Four style, with hazelnut, cocoa, peach or other fruit filling, topped with whipped cream.
- Tiramisu, Napoleon, Eclair, French Macaroons, Poppy seed and/or walnut rolls
- Waffle cones filled with cheese cake covered in Swiss chocolate. Looked yummy!
Check out the photos I added of Diplomat, Peaches, Dobos, and Hazelnut whipped cream pastry!
I just want to say that I felt bad I couldn't buy more of the Peaches or Diplomat that I requested, after all he went to prepare them for me, but I was going to indulge all by myself, and my stomach can only hold so much...
Thank you Le Napoleon! I will be back often.
