Gourmandise

My favorite bakery/cafe! The steak sandwich was phenomenal and we always love the Spicy Ham and Jam. Ashley F was the BEST server!! -especially with us having little kids. She went out of her way to ensure we all had a great experience. ◡̈

food quality: 4/5 service: 5/5 cleanliness: 5/5 value: 5/5 Dropped by for a sweet treat and grabbed a pistachio spiral croissant. The staff were nice and the restaurant was well-kept. The croissant itself was a bit on the dry side, not sure if it was made much earlier on the day and dried out (I purchased this around 4PM), and the filling to croissant ratio could have bit a bit more balanced by having more filling. Might have just been an off day. Overall, the flavor was still good and I wouldn’t mind coming back to try other items.

Got there, very limited parking, had to drive through 3 times before a spot opened up. There is no parking close by, their all reserved and a chance of getting towed, not worth it. Called in our order and picked it up. Was really suprised how expensive it was. The people there were awesome to work with. Prob won't be back as just too expensive for me.

I’ve been coming here over the years may times to try the pastries and to get birthday cakes for my family. This time my boyfriend invited me to have dinner because I’ve always said the food looks really good and we wanted to try something new. The food was amazing and our server was very friendly and gave us an amazing service, but when we went to look at the pastries we turned around and our table had been cleaned including our drinks, we didn’t mind it we just sat again and ate the pastries. We then got up again, leaving on the table a box of pastries so it wouldn’t get cleaned again, and got pastries for our family they had given our table to two other people, and the restaurant wasn’t even full there were around 7 open tables including the one next to ours. I asked the hostess that was seating the people at the table if she knew where our box of pastries was and she just looked at me confused, didn’t even apologize for taking our table while we haven’t even paid. Another server heard us and gave me the box. When we went to pay for everything the pastries were supposed to be BOGO, but when I looked at the receipt I noticed they had charged us the full amount, we weren’t bothered we just went back to get it fixed. I talked to the hostess again explaining the situation, she just looked at me weird and talked to the person beside her saying that we wanted to get some free things, I explained again the situation and this time they went to who I assume is the manager and she fixed it. Our server was great and the food was great, but for the price of the food and the type of establishment we expected better service from everyone else and for the workers to be more coordinated and not take our stuff off the table, we didn’t see anyone else that that happened to. We would come back for the food but order takeout, the experience didn’t match the price.

Our experience at Gourmandise was exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the flavors were even better than they looked. I ordered the Scone Brisket Benedict and it was incredible. The pulled brisket was tender and full of flavor, and the bacon cheddar chive scone underneath gave it the perfect balance of savory and soft. The hollandaise was rich and smooth without being too heavy, and the roasted potatoes were crispy and seasoned perfectly. One of the eggs had a slightly runny white, but the rest of the dish more than made up for it. My coworker had the Pasta with Butternut Squash and Brown Butter Sage Cream Sauce, and it looked amazing. The pasta was hand-cut and fresh, the sauce had that perfect mix of buttery and earthy, and the frizzled Brussels sprouts added a nice crunch. The grilled chicken was juicy and flavorful, and he said it was the best he has ever had. Gourmandise really left an impression. The food, the presentation, and the atmosphere all came together perfectly. It is definitely a come back spot.
