La Patisserie

About the Business

Specialties

Hidden in the heart of Austin, TX, La Pâtisserie will transport you into a quiet street in Paris where nothing matters except a delicious cup of coffee paired with a moist financier, a decadent gâteau l'opera, a perfectly flaky mille-feuille or one of our signature and beloved French macarons. Owner and head baker Soraiya Negree fell headfirst in love with French cuisine upon her first visit to Paris at age ten and has made countless subsequent visits to fill herself up with the smells and sounds of Paris and bring them back to her own shop. La Pâtisserie's macarons have developed a cult following in Austin and are shipped nationally, and our treats have dominated the Austin Chocolate Festival in categories including "Best Cookie", "Best Fudge", "Best Brownie", and "Best Dessert". At La Pâtisserie, we are committed to crafting only the finest desserts from scratch, which starts with using only the finest ingredients, such as King Arthur flour and Callebaut Belgian chocolate. Nothing in our case takes less than three days to process and prepare - you can truly taste the passion, care, and Parisian magic in each treat. Whether you are planning your dream wedding complete with a macaron tower or just need a quiet place to relax, we invite you to our small but lovely space in the beautiful old house on South 1st, complete with comfy chairs and an indoor children's play area. We hope to see you at La Pâtisserie soon!
