La Petite Delicat

La Petite is a hidden gem. It is one of my favorite places in Lexington. The food and drinks are amazing. The employees are the sweetest people. Today, there was ice, of course, and the employees came outside and made sure I was able to get in my car. They held my food, and walked beside me to make sure I got in my car. Above and beyond! They are incredible. Favorites: tomato pesto croissant, almond croissant, salted caramel hot chocolate, the melt in your mouth macarons, and ALL the pastries! Make sure you check them out!

The pumpkin cruffin was so delicious. Flaky, crispy pastry dough and a creamy pumpkin pastry cream. The apple tart was decent.

Liked this cafe very much. Very friendly staffs, high quality macaroons which are quite popular and very good. I tried mocha which was nice. I definitely get back to this nice cafe to try their pastry goods. I wish there were more sitting area.

I was in town visiting and looking for some authentic French/European Bakery and found this upon searching. This is an eclectic albeit oddly set up bakery/cafe. I ordered a cappuccino, a pistachio tart and 3 macarons. Let's start in that order. The Cappuccino was mediocre at best. Tasted like ratios were a bit off with more steamed milk and less foam than should have been. It was served in a coffee mug with no saucer and no foam art, so presentation lacked. The Pain Au Chocolate was served warm. It was light and flaky, had great texture and the chocolate inside was delicious and perfect ratio. Wish the dough had a bit more butter flavor. I tried one macacron (Dubai Chocolate) out of the 3 I purchased. Texture leaned on the more soft side. It was moist and had a nice chew and the filling was not overly sweet. I did not eat the pistachio tart while I was at the bakery but will update this when I do. The upstairs is cute with mismatch furniture and overlooks the bakery production. Main level feels a bit more astringent with white walls and minimal decor. Overall I would comeback. Photos are of the upstairs. UPDATE*** pistachio tart was delicious but my favorite was the guava macaron...so good

La Petite Delicat catered the desserts for our wedding in October 2023 including a macaron tower, fruit tarts, mini pies and cheesecakes and we could not have been more delighted! The owner went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and not only are their dessert visually stunning but they taste even better! The texture of the macarons is simply perfect- chewy with a light and crisp shell. My husband and I return at least every 6 months as a little celebration of our marriage. We have made La Petite Delicat a tradition and reason to celebrate within our little family and I hope you stop in to try some of their amazing treats. Each time it’s even better than I remember and I’m never disappointed.
