I stopped by La Gourmandine with my wife this weekend after hearing great things from my family and friends. It definitely lived up to the hype. Perfectly flaky croissants and elegant pastries. I visited this restaurant at around 1pm on a Saturday and it wasnt very busy. I hope to come back soon.

What an excellent place to get delicious pastries. Especially French pastries. I thought the prices would probably be quite excessive, but this isn’t the case. Quite reasonable actually. I got to try out their clafoutis, abricotine (apricot pastry), and chouquettes.

All 3 were very good. The clafoutis was wasn’t exactly like a pudding that I imagined. It was a lot more firm. Still, it was quite tasty and not too eggy. I loved the touch of cherries in there. Good portion for the price too.

The chouquettes were a very lovely little pastry. Nice little snack and very cheap, but they are also very small. Plenty of sugar beads surrounding the patty, and the inside is a great firm texture as well. But buttery inside.

The apricot was my favorite. It was somewhat like a danish with an apricot in the middle, but also somewhat like an apricot croissant. You have to try one of these out. Not too sweet. Goes very well with morning coffee. Buttery pastry. Nice!

All in all, a very nice bakery in Lawrenceville. I’d love to come back and try out more items, but everything I had was great!

We ordered 3 cakes from La Gourmandine for our parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary, and they all looked fantastic and all tasted delicious [Soleil for 6 ppl, Marquise for 15 ppl and Fraisier for 15 ppl]. Everyone was very impressed by the variety of flavors & textures and the overall uniqueness of the cakes, especially Mom & Dad.  We were able to place my special order through their website, which was an awesome feature that we prefer.  We were able to add a message to put onto each cake when placing the order online, which was a nice touch for the occasion.
Sure, the cakes are a bit more pricey than most bakeries, however, they were well worth it.  We will certainly return any time we need cakes for future parties/events.  Best cakes we have ever ordered from ANY bakery.

Their Marquise cake is the single best cake in the entirety of Pittsburgh. It's one of the best I've ever had. We get this exact cake for every birthday for our friends' group.

Very friendly staff, amazing bakery smells when you get in. I recommend you try their other stuff too.
