“ La Petite is my new favorite cafe in my area! Every time I go in, there is always a new, delicious treat to try. So far my favorite item is their original Tres leche cake. Also the hot chocolate!! ”
“ SO YUMMY. Come here for some good food, coffee, and dessert! The syrups for coffee are made in house, pastries made fresh, and food beautifully put together! I came for a nice little brunch with my parents, and we enjoyed every bite. We had a quick chat with the owner who was very kind and genuinely passionate about the place. Highly recommend! ”
“ Edit review: We had a Sunday brunch and you can't go wrong with anything. We tried 4 different dishes and all came as 5 stars. Service, people family owned vibe, local, just a great place to spend a Sunday brunch or any other day. Macaroons are out of this world!! Don't miss them. One of the tastiest giant cookies in Lancaster. ”
“ My first visit here (with my niece) and an absolutely delightful experience all around! Brunch and baked goods were spectacular...service was very pleasant and politely conscientious of our needs...and the atmosphere takes you to a french cafe in Paris! What's not to like! Definitely recommend and will revisit soon! So blessed to have this unique and special place in my new neighborhood! ”
“ The tarragon chicken salad on croissant had us coming here twice in one week! So good! The chef is very engaging with customers, he came out of the kitchen both times to make sure we were enjoying the food. And the barista/waitress was also very kind. Everything was good—key lime tart and cheesecake, cookie, breakfast croissant, drinks... They even had a daily special of chicken ramen—random, but so good!! All-in-all a lovely family-owned business that we are happy to support. ”
“ I love La Petite Patisserie!! Serving up some quality and creative food, like my French Onion Soup Poptart. The bagel breakfast sandwich was also gorgeous and delicious. My tea was also lovely. Service was quick and kind, and the inside of the place is adorable and had catchy French music playing. I can't wait to come back to try "The Action", their Birria Breakfast Sandwich which looks to die for. Go here!! Edit: I went back for “The Action”!! It was so delicious, warm, cheesy, the brioche bun was perfectly soft, and side potatoes are perfect for runny yolk dipping. Service was quick and kind, and the decorations inside were adorable. I love this spot and it was a perfect place to visit once again, enjoy the beautiful decor and music playing, get some work done, and enjoy a great meal. I will absolutely return again. ”
“ Food is AMAZING!!! They have a wide selection of pastries and the coffee is delicious. Staff is friendly and the restaurant looks clean and inviting. I highly recommend eating here! The breakfast sandwiches have the flakiest croissant I’ve ever eaten. ”
“ Tried La Petite Patisserie for the first time after hearing so many good things and it didn’t disappoint! The caramel macchiato was fantastic and their pastries were also delicious (I recommend the Pan Au Chocolate Croissant - it was perfectly soft and flaky)! We will absolutely come again to try their brunch food! The decor and atmosphere is spot on (I adore their accent wall that is perfect for foodie photos) and the service was really quick and very friendly. A new favorite spot for us! ”
