Le Petit Gâteau is a French-inspired bakery, pastry shop, and custom cake studio. We are more than just bakers...we are pastry artists! Everything we create is done with taste and appearance in mind.
Our talented team is always innovating new creations to be added to our menu. You'll find seasonal items made with fresh berries in the spring, citrus fruits in the summer, and pumpkin and fall spices in autumn.
We take our inspiration from locations around the world that make the best food such as our French Baguette, San Francisco-Style Sourdough Bread, and New York-Style Bagels. Our award-winning cakes have been featured in magazines and are custom tailored for your event.

The butterscotch Blondie is to die for! It's soooooo good. I tried the coffee cake muffin and Oreo cake as well. I went after work so a lot of things were sold out already - just means I'll have to make a trip on a weekend sometime! Everything still tasted fresh! The Blondie was my overall favorite. The cake is moist ... and dense, the kind you have to eat in two sittings. The muffin has a great flavor to it, it's done right. There's a coffee shop right across with a nice array of seating - it was super busy though, I couldn't see a free table at 4pm. Still it seems like a great place, will keep it in mind for when guests come from out of town. Read More

I tried this place for the first time in December and wow is all I have to say. I had the chocolate croissant first, loved it so much that a got a raspberry pistachio croissant for the road. The crust is flaky and butter and the inside is heaven. I was very impressed with there selection. I also bought their ... homemade trail mix and that was amazing too. The only problem is I don't live close enough to Le Petit Gateau. Outstanding food, service was fantastic and love that they're right across from a coffee cafe. Read More

Tried Almond Croissant from Le Petit Gateau after a great deal of recommendation from a friend, I would say it’s totally worth the hype. It’s flakey, fresh and perfectly sweet and well paired with a cup of coffee. Also, tried their crème brulle croissant too, the custard was so mild and tasted perfect. I would ... definitely go back to other the other items.☺️ Read More

I am normally an almond croissant loyalist but the Oreo croissant may have stolen the crown. The traditional was, well, traditional…but in the best way possible: buttery, flaky, and delicious. No wrong choices here! Thrilled that this location is so close to home. The phone didn’t get a chance to eat first so you’ll ... just have to go see the hype yourself. Read More
