Le Petit Gateau — Restaurant in Carmel

We chose Le Petit Gateau for our wedding this past September and it was the best decision we made. Chris, the head baker, was so amazing to work with every step of the way. He provided great recommendations and helped us curate the best flavors for our wedding desserts. Our guests raved on how delicious the cake was and said his macaroons were the best they had ever had. Chris went above and beyond to make us feel special. He invited us to his kitchen for tastings and even created special macaroons for the bride and groom.

The day after our wedding we hosted a brunch at our home and Chris also made us the BEST chocolate chip cookies we have ever had. Chris impressed us so much, that his desserts are a staple at any of our celebrations!

If you are looking for the best desserts in town, look no further than La Petit Gateau!!!!

Thank you Chris for everything you...

At this point I have only tasted the Ham and Gruyère Croissant and the Pain au Chocolat Croissant. Both have been fantastic. Full of flavor and so flaky. I would love to know what chocolate is used in the Pain Au Chocolat, as I was so relieved it was not overly sweet and just the perfect amount of sweet and chocolatey flavor! I know a one or two reviewers have mentioned bad service. Frankly, I’m shocked! The woman (I wish I knew her name) that helped me was incredibly polite and friendly, and waited on me right away. She even volunteered to help me to my car as I ordered a lot and was parked in the back lot. 5 out of 5 for not just food, but service as well. The ambience and space to sit, eat, drink coffee, and even work was incredible, too. I’ll go here for all of my French bakery needs. Thank you for bringing authentic French pastries to...

Stopped in and got a loaf of sourdough to take home for the next days breakfast. While there I also had a chocolate croissant, and a macaron . Service was lacking. The woman ahead of me was dotted on by in guessing the manager, letting them sample and chitt chat. After a while one of the other team members came up and said "what do you want?" I ordered. The macaron was frozen, the chocolate croissant was good, but wasn't offered to be warmed. She checked me out, no smile, no eye contact, almost silent. Oh well, I just really wanted the sourdough as I had heard great things. Well I took it home and by morning it was molded. I know fresh bread doesn't hold, but less than 24 hrs it shouldn't mold like that. In assuming I got...
