Nice little pastry shop.. I went for the ladies tea.. it was pretty.. each of us got our own little teapot of our tea of choice and a 3 tier pastry display to share.. I have read reviews where they weren’t allowed to take pics but it’s only if the display pastry’s but once you purchase you can take all the photos you want lol.. it was a cute experience..

This is by far the best authentic dessert shop in town! The owner very kind and very passionate about his work. You are as close to France as you will get if you will go here!

Delicious! Love the atmosphere and employees. Macaroons are delicious: light, fluffy, sweet, tasting exactly as they are advertised. The fruit tarts are delicious and beautiful. Almost too pretty to eat! Looking forward to returning to try other flavors. This is a must stop!

The croissants were great. By far the best in Wilmington. I wish more places in Wilmington were like this. Be true to what you are don't try to make everything "southern". Every place doesn't need fried chicken or grits on the menu!

The owners and staff are always friendly. If you have questions, ask them as they are very approachable and enjoy helping their customers. Everything we have tried has been wonderful. Something as simple as their vanilla cake is truly fantastic. If you have not stopped in, I encourage you to venture out for an experience.

Recommend by friend, what a find! Went with the friend and two others, friend had only seen one side entrance offerings and not reviewed other side with excellent desserts case. Wall of French specality jars, chocolate, asst foods. Food cases full of fresh baked French food offerings. Real French management. Double espresso, cappuccinos, pastries of lemon tarts, Crème brûlée, chocolate caramel, double chocolate, all excellent. The ambiance of a Paris street side bakery was spared in the new long mall atmosphere, but close your eyes, taste the food and your in France. Service was great.

This place is always great. Food is good, and in good proportions, and the owners are wonderful people. Service is always warm and friendly. Make a reservation for a high tea - you will not be disappointed.

One of my favorite spots in Wilmington! This place is so delightfully charming. I came here for high tea and everything was so delicious that I ended up staying for a cappuccino and even more pastries. Its become a place that my friends and I visit weekly. I don't think I've tasted a single menu item that's disappointed me..and I've had a good portion of the items they offer at this point 😅 After reading some reviews from other people, I'm honestly shocked by people's comments about the owner. He is so nice and always greats my friends and I when we come in. All of the staff is very attentive and welcoming.

Les délices de France!! The real thing: French baguettes, croissants, cheeses, pâtés, unique condiments, chocolate creations, expresso coffee and collection teas ... You'll love them all. Pricey but a French souvenir that's well worth it !!! Try them and you'll see ... I took a dozen macaroons to a luncheon and everyone 'oohed and ahhed'. They are tasty jewels!

The prices reflect the quality and passion to produce truly authentic and delectable treats for our palettes. It’s a treasure that needs to be supported, because it is Far from France.

The pastries looked delicious but they honestly didn’t taste much better than the items you could buy from Whole Foods. They certainly didn’t taste handmade. but what made the visit unpleasant was the owner. He seemed like he was more annoyed to have customers than excited (and the shop was empty except for me and my mom). He was very standoffish. I asked why there were “No pictures, No videos” signs (I left my phone in my purse) and he immediately became seemingly angry and defensive saying “this isn’t a museum”. I told him some people like to take pictures for things like Google reviews or to share with their friends, but he was very adamant that was unacceptable behavior.We tried the macaroons and the caramels and got a chocolate croissant for later. They were good but not amazing. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back and the owner’s attitude was more off-putting than the pastries were good.

Questions & Answers

Yes

Yes a few tables but I'm not sure if they can seat inside with the current social distancing procedures

They make them on weekends. You can also follow their Instagram for that kind of stuff.

They didnt have one the last time i was there but if you speak with the staff they might be able to do one special or let you know if/when they will.

They actually do need advance notice for an actual "tea".
