Chez Pierre French Bakery & Cafe

Great desserts
Tomorrow we will be back to try the breakfast menu .

We bought the chocolate cake sand the fruit cake to go.

Both desserts where on point.
I highly recommend and the Costumer service 10/10

Best Vietnamese iced coffee - nothing like it. You'll say that you tried them all, but this one is different. Almost thick, perfectly sweet, full body flavor, coffee is not bitter or acidic in the slightest. Only complaint was it was almost entirely ice...definitely get the large when in doubt. Pork and crawfish pastries were amazing. Not a huge crawfish fan but theirs had some type of spice, peppery type sauce that was surprisingly good and masked any fish taste nicely, for those who feel the same about "seafood" taste

My friend and I came here for lunch on Sunday. We arrived about 11:45 and the place was empty. You place your order at the counter. They have their menu posted on the wall. There are pictures of each item with no prices listed. We both ordered the grilled Shrimp Vermicelli. Both women working there were unhelpful, unfriendly and unspeaking. They acted like they didn't want to be there. I felt like leaving right there. I think we should have. No thank you to us and no smiles whatsoever. We took a seat at a table and they eventually brought our food out. It was edible, but not that great. And for the high price ($20!!), you don't get very much.

We watched as people came in to buy the big cakes and all. The display case was full of pretty looking items. My friend and I narrowed our choice down to about 3 and then decided to split the Mocha Chantilly piece. We again dealt with the rude workers.

We brought the cake back to our table and tried it. It seemed stale or old. It was completely dried out and had no taste. The frosting was inedible. I tried to eat some of the cake part since I just spent $7.00 on it, but it was tasteless. We threw it away uneaten. It was a complete waste of money.

I don't see myself coming back here.

The chocolate Chantilly cake had little to no taste. I ordered a large Vietnamese coffee which was $8 and got a 8 oz plastic cup that was filled 3:4 the way with ice. When I said something the clerk said "people complain that it is strong so we put more ice to water it down" I said I wanted more coffee and less ice and she said we don't offer that.
So for $15 I got a cake with no taste and about a 1/2 cup of coffee!
I will never come here again.
Also while sitting here I watched both employees be straight out rude to the next 5 customers, acting as if they couldn't be bothered to answer questions!!!

Very overpriced, poor quality "French Bakery", strange flavors, and stale products!
Should have $$$ sign for price!

I am a sucker for a good bakery, and this place did not disappoint! We just moved to the area, and I will definitely be coming back. They have a wide assortment of pastries on display as well as a custom order process. They have outdoor seating and clean restrooms. Will have to try the food selection next time.

First time we tried here, everything was so good! We tried the pineapple meringue, cannoli & assortment of pastries (see picture), petit fours. Their cream puff was very good & the custard inside was delicious. Another time we came we had their mini linzer cookies-these were delicious. Unfortunately, the cream puff was not as good as the first time. They are creative. Staff is friendly. Try them out!

I was in town for a quick business trip and stumble across the bakery. Since I was on the go, I had order something quick to eat. I ordered the combination special banh mi and pate chaud (meat pies). The meat pies was worth remembering! It outside was so buttery, flakey & lightness on the outside and so savory in the inner part of the pastry. Definitely would come back for the pastries.

Not very welcoming, this place is not the same as it used to be. The desserts used to be really fresh. For the last few times I went, the tarts and cannolis has been soggy. The prices are on the higher end as well.

The staff is wonderful af.
The food is great. I found it strange to have a shrimp bahn mi po-boy with sautéed shrimp and without pickled vegetables. I think they should fix the po-boy and strengthen their coffee but everything else was great.
They even have military discount.
I will be going back EVERY-TIME I come back home to Louisiana!!

Y'all have to try Chez Pierre's life-changing pate chaud (aka Vietnamese savory puff pastry with a meat filling)!!! Imagine a golden, flaky, layered, buttery puff pastry stuffed generously with the most tasty, well-seasoned and juicy ground pork filling. For many years, I had to settle for sub par pate chaud from a rival bakery in New Orleans East because I had no idea such pate chaud perfection existed!

Insider tip: you can pre-order pate chaud ahead of time as they usually sell out early because apparently, it is a big favorite of the locals too! In the past, I have pre-ordered a dozen pate chaud and they even survived an 8 hour road trip to TX. In case you're wondering, they taste just as delicious when you heat them up again in the oven or toaster oven.

Give in to temptation while you're at Chez Pierre. Live life to the fullest and keep that belly of yours full and happy! You might as well try some of their wonderful treats- a variety of whole cakes, cake slices, fruit tarts, cookies, pastries, etc. They're well known for their amazing, incredibly moist and delicious Chantilly cake (meticulously decorated with fresh fruits & a light/airy cream filling) which far outshines other competitors and even comes in individual sizes. I only recently sampled their cream cheese King cake and got hooked! My first bite felt like I was eating a light, melt in your mouth, not too sweet piece of heavenly goodness!

I hope you'll visit Chez Pierre soon and enjoy everything this bakery has to offer! Chez Pierre has my heart and I hope it will have yours pretty soon too! Since it's Mardi Gras season, be sure to go on an empty stomach so that you can feast like a king or queen!

EDIT 2/21/22: Just found out they have a very yummy bo luc lac (shaken beef/cubed flank steak) rice platter! Will have to try it on my next visit!
