Sandrine French Pastry and Chocolate - Patisserie & Cafe — Restaurant in Kelowna

Tried this place for the first time and got half a dozen macarons, caramel caresse, butter biscuits and moulin rouge pastry. I just liked 2 out of 6 macarons, the pistachio and the lemon. I personally dont like macarons with a chocolate filling so 2 or 3 were with chocolate like strawberry and the raspberry one I believe. Butter biscuits tasted ok, nothing special They are of different colors not sure if they have different flavours like ginger but they tasted ok, the darker one is a bit hard but they are all crispy. It's hard to find crispy cookies these days, so here you can get. Moulin rouge pastry looked pretty but it isn't my taste. It's soft and moussy and I don't like moussy cakes, there was no description and it didn't look like one hence ordered but it's a no for me but caramel caresse on the other hand was the star of the show. It was really good. It had some filling in the center like caramel or hazelnut, nice texture and chocolatey. Staff is friendly, didn't expect much but they are good. I also got another order of their salted caramel spread which I haven't tried yet and a caramel caresse as we liked it so much but they kind of mixed the order I believe so I ended up getting another pastry instead of the one I wanted. Also, I have a suggestion to make, it would be nice if you end up mentioning the net weight and the ingredients on your cookie pack or your caramel spread bottle, not for the recipe but for the sake of knowing what goes into it, would be helpful to chose the right products. Anyways, this place is better than the other french pastry shops I have tried so if you are looking for a dessert or a cake, you can try this place out!

By the time I finished writing this review, I also tried their Salted Caramel Spread, which was amazing!! Didn't expect it to be so good, I highly recommend!

Ordered again - OMG, their Almond croissant is amazing. Changing the rating from 4 to 5 simply for Almond Croissant. It was the best I have had in a long time. It was buttery, crispy with light cream, not overly sweet but just perfect. Cream should be more though, but overall, 10/10. Just 1 tip, if you take it, then consume it in under 2 hours. Otherwise, it doesn't taste the same. I recommend this place more for croissants...

Top notch pastries and chocolates that, despite the price tag, are so worth treating yourself with! I always enjoy the macarons and croque monsieur croissants. 💖 They have pâté, pies, and and other savoury foods as well.

The staff are friendly and very knowledgable about each item, with some able to speak fluently in French.

I'm happy they opened up a patio for the warmer seasons so you can sit and enjoy your goodies in a relaxed setting.

Last, I would like to say how much my husband and I enjoyed the one-on-one class offered here! We did the 'Chocolate' course, taught by Sandrine herself. Tempering chocolate properly is not as easy as it looks! Sandrine was very patient in answering questions and making sure each group (3 groups of 2) received attention. We walked away with chocolate dipped strawberries and orange peels, ganache/truffles, almond clusters, and a massive fruit and nut bar! 😊✨🍫

Eat, sip, learn, and enjoy. I highly...

decided to go in around New Years to grab a few macaroons because I always enjoy this little pastry shop (I enjoy going here a few times a year and have for the past five or more years), but that was the last time, because the girl who served me could not have been ruder or more snobby. she has to be part of family to be allowed to work there and serve people with an attitude like that, I was appalled the entire time. it seemed like she did not want to be bothered by any customers (two others were in the store the same time I was, and one walked in as I finishing up paying) and had very snobby/abrupt tone. at the end of this, she threw the debit machine on the counter when it was time to pay (not sure why she felt the need to do that, very childish). at that moment, I knew I was never going to return and it's a shame since I genuinely enjoyed the pastries and frozen...
