Bistro Dupain — Restaurant in Erin

This little French bakery in Erin has proven itself times and over to our little community. I, for one, was ecstatic when I found out I could have some authentic Parisien pastries at only a 4 min drive away from home. Throughout my pregnancy, I drove there almost every week for their decadent pain au chocolat and almond croissants. They exceeded expectations especially when it came to a special order cake that my mom visualized for her birthday. She wanted a mille feuille cake, which normally comes with vanilla cream, but made with mango cream. When I called up Bistro DuPain and spoke to Gaelle, she said they've never made it before but will definitely give it a shot! Needless to say, the cake turned out to be decadent and mouth watering! The pastry was so flaky and delicious, the mango cream was the perfect combination of light and fluffy with the correct amount of sweetness. They even put little real mango pieces in the middle, which made the texture of the whole cake pop!

Gaëlle and Alan run a wonderful bakery and pastry shop! Every time we dine in, the food is fresh, delicious, and reminds me of my childhood in France! Their staff is also very welcoming. We ended up asking Gaëlle and Alan to cater for a rehearsal dinner and wedding desert. Throughout the process, they were both wonderful to work with: they sat down with us to customize a menu (quiches, cheese platters, salads, cakes), followed-up with us in the days before our wedding to update the menu with seasonal items and coordinate day of logistics, delivered everything to multiple locations and on time, all for a fair price. They went above and beyond several times: for example, Gaëlle delivered multiple times on the evening of our wedding to ensure that one of our deserts (croquembouche) would stay fresh. The food that Gaëlle and Alan prepared was the highlight of the meal and our guests still repeatedly talk about it when we see them! Since then, we always look forward to stopping by Bistro Dupain! Through their dedication and hard work, Gaëlle and Alan have created what is so far the most authentic French bakery I have been...
