If one were to go on and on how beautiful just the sandwiches are on the homemade bread, then we could be here for some time. This is what I humbly suggest. Coming from an individual that is a debutante of deliciousness. This place is an absolutely stop by and see for yourself destination. I'm a REAL FOOD junkie. You will not regret it.
I had a friend tell me about this little bakery which I have been in search for one since the closure of May’s Parlor. Today was my first time. I ordered a vanilla cappuccino, a brie fold over, and vanilla eclair for my snack while I read my book. The pastries are so buttery and flaky to perfection. I decided to order croissants, a baguette, and another eclair for later. Well, much to my surprise, one of my dogs decided to taste test the entire loaf before I did. I called La Brioche but hung up after a few rings. The owner promptly called me back. I inquired if she had anymore baguettes left and she said yes. I drove all the way from Chesapeake. As soon as I walked in, I noticed there weren’t anymore left. Turns out, the owner set it aside for me as soon as I called. To summarize, not only are the food and drinks authentic, the Parisian owners are incredibly kind and provide amazing service. I can’t wait to come back and try more treats!
What an amazing place! The pastries were delicious. The baguette was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The prices were fair (not cheap, but totally fair for the quality). We paid about $50 for food and drinks for 4 people. The food was so tasty that I didn’t think to take a picture until we had eaten half of it. We will be back!
Y’all….this is the REAL DEAL. If you want any the taste an feel of a friendly French bakery, this is your place. The welcoming staff, with their marvelous French accented greetings set the tone. The day I visited, the 2 ladies’ bright eyed and kind smiles engulfed my many questions and were never impatient with my poor hearing— didn’t even have to mention it. After ordering to go, one invited me to enjoy my chicken salad baguette and espresso upstairs. I had no idea there was a back staircase leading to a charming, rather shabby and mismatched, exactly what you want for that Old World feel. Many chairs have been reupholstered and are surprisingly comfortable for a wooden chair. The chicken salad is a bit spare by American standards, but the star is the baguette. The romaine and tomato were perfectly fresh and a great compliment. I foresee many return visits, there is SO much to sample.
I love walking to this bakery in the morning and getting their fresh baguette! Their desserts are delicious as well, my favorite is the fig torte. Their apricot bake is amazing also know as “abricotine”. The owner is French making this a very authentic experience. I cannot recommend this enough!
OMG! I can't even tell you the deliciousness! Everything so fresh and amazing! We had some sandwiches and eclairs and my husband had a cake thing! Just OMG!!! 1000stars if I could!
The best word to describe this place is delightful. Located in a charming spot on Colley Avenue, this cafe truly impressed us. The environment and decor are comfortable and clean, creating an inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed croissants and tarts, all of which were delicious. This charming cafe is a must-visit in Norfolk and has officially been added to our go-to list!
Just had a wonderful experience at neighborhood favorite La Brioche. Having known the owners now for several years (as a customer) following them from their OG location off Granby Street, this local gem always offers a 5 star experience when I visit. Grabbed some macarons for the kids and a few breakfast items for the wife and I this AM. And a decaf Americano… also fantastic although a simple item. If you want to support local and spend your $ back into the community rather than the corporations that whisk profits out of Hampton Roads to a high priced office space in Manhattan, visit these guys regularly and often!
Cute, cozy little French bistro with fresh bread and pastries daily. We liked the turkey Brie on baguette, but next time I would take it home and toast - add some mustard (they didn’t have any mustard in store). The quiche was good but not hot enough, it was lukewarm. I liked the Nutella pastry!
★★★★★ This is a fantastic French bakery! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and there’s plenty of seating both inside and outside, which makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy your food. They have tons of options, from sweet treats to savory items, and they even bake their own fresh bread. I ordered the croissant sandwich, and it was incredibly flaky and delicious. I also tried a French dessert that was recommended to me—something I hadn’t had before—and it was so good! They’re also happy to warm items up for you, which is a nice touch.
