This is their newest location in downtown Pittsburgh on Forbes across from the Tower at PNC. There are about 10 tiny tables in this tiny location, but enough for people that want lunch and want to sit. I came in around 12:30 on a Wednesday and there were still empty seats. The counter was laden with spectacular looking pastries and breads. I wanted to grab something to bring back to the office and share, so I had them put in a variety of macarons and these little tiny cakes that I was told were pistachio and raspberry.
The little cakes were amazing. The macarons are perfectly flavored and very buttery. For 5 of each, the total came to less than 8 bucks which is pretty incredible for this place.
I definitely want to come back and try the he macarons. Bluebird Kitchen down the street has some of the best, so La Gourmandine has some competition in the area, but it's a welcome addition to the downtown food landscape.
