Our Favorite French Pastry & Coffee Pairings:

1. Almond Croissant & Espresso

Let’s start with a classic, mes chers! The Almond Croissant is a timeless treat that’s both delicate and satisfying. Soft, buttery, and topped with crunchy pieces of almonds, it’s the pièce de résistance of any bakery.

Best Time to Enjoy: Early morning or mid-afternoon, when you need a little kick to get your day going.

2. Pain au Chocolat & Café Latte

Ah, the beloved Pain au Chocolat! This golden pastry, filled with smooth, rich chocolate, will make you say, "c’est magnifique!" Each bite will transport your tastebuds straight to the streets of Paris.

Our Café Latte adds a creamy, smooth counterpart to its indulgent chocolate center. It’s light enough to balance the richness of the pain au chocolat, making it the ideal pairing for anyone with an affinity for sweetness in both their coffee and sweet treat.

Best Time to Enjoy: Late morning or a relaxed brunch. It’s the ideal treat to savor during a long, leisurely meal with friends or family.

3. Dulce de Leche French Toast & Cappuccino

For an extra special treat, indulge in our Dulce de Leche French Toast. This decadent delight is soaked in a rich Dulce de Leche sauce then topped with some caramelized bananas and fresh berries. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and buttery, offering a comforting and luxurious experience with every bite.

A frothy Cappuccino makes for the perfect pairing. The rich, velvety texture of the coffee balances the sweetness of the Dulce de Leche, cutting through the richness and enhancing the overall flavor. The slightly bitter notes of the cappuccino add depth and contrast to this indulgent treat.

Best Time to Enjoy: Afternoon or brunch, when you're craving something sweet, warm, and satisfying. This pairing is perfect for a relaxing treat to recharge or as a deliciously sweet brunch option.

4. NY Style Pistachio Croissant & Macchiato

For those who adore a nutty delight, our Pistachio Croissant is calling your name! Filled with creamy pistachio goodness and topped with chopped pistachios, this delicacy is truly délicieux.

A Macchiato is just the right partner for this treat. The dash of milk softens the strong espresso, allowing the pistachio flavors to shine. The combination is both light and flavorful, making it a pairing that all pastry lovers will definitely enjoy.

Best Time to Enjoy: Early afternoon, as a light snack, or even as a pre-dinner treat. It’s elegant, indulgent, and oh-so-French.

5. Stuffed Nutella French Toast & Mocha Latte

For a twist on a beloved classic, try our Stuffed Nutella French Toast. Oh là là! With caramelized bananas, fresh bananas, and cookie crumble, it’s a masterpiece of flavor and texture. Rich, sweet, and indulgent, it’s the ultimate treat for any dessert lover. To take it to the next level, you can even add some strawberries!

A Mocha Latte is the perfect pairing for this very indulgent dish. The chocolatey notes of the mocha complement the Nutella beautifully, while the espresso adds just the right amount of bitterness to balance out the sweetness. It’s a match magnifique. 

Best Time to Enjoy: Late brunch or as a sweet finish after a hearty meal. This pairing is ideal for anyone who loves the combination of chocolate and coffee with a sweet, decadent dessert.

6. Crème Brûlée Croissant Cube & Vanilla Mocha

For a truly decadent experience, try our Crème Brûlée Croissant Cube. This pastry masterpiece combines its flaky layers with the creamy, caramelized top of a classic crème brûlée.

Each bite offers a delightful contrast of textures - crispy on the outside, soft and custardy on the inside.
