La Tabatiere — Restaurant in Closter

They have a small parking lot right next to the building, which was helpful. The bakery itself was small, mostly, just take out here. During our visit, many people came in here for their bread. A really good sign of their quality!

We ordered Matcha Latte and Mocha. The Matcha had the REAL matcha flavor, no artificial flavor, which was great. It had just the right sweetness to it. Mocha was creamy and tasty, strong yet comforting flavor.

We decided to have a breakfast right there. This was when we were still allowed to eat in, about a month ago. I ordered Ham & Egg Salad Croissant. My hubby also wanted this item, but it seems like they only offer what is out there on display. And since there was only one…well, I got it! I am not sure why they can’t just make another one in the kitchen though… It was a really nice sandwich!

My hubby ended up getting the Ham & Cheese Croissant. It had some crispy cheese crust on top, which was really Nice. The ham was fresh, and it had some kind of sauce or aioli inside, which was delightful! We also had Green Tea White Chocolate Scone. It was light and airy, tasty!

We took a few extra items to go, so that we can have them later at home. We had Choux, which was filled at the time of order, Gouda Cheese Bread, Miso Bread, and some Brioches. They were all high quality, fresh, and very tasty. Passion Fruit Brioche and Blueberry Brioche were super fluffy, and filled with cream! Great item!

We enjoyed every item we tried so far from here. We would definitely go back for more of their quality breads and baked...

I’ve been here a few times before for coffee and pastries and never had any issues. It’s a small place but uses high quality ingredients and is super tasty.

Unfortunately, I did have a gripe today. I picked up a whole opera cake for a birthday and was surprised at how small it was. I called to confirm. Granted, I should’ve checked the dimensions before I bought it but due to my former positive experiences and from the photos uploaded here, I thought I would be okay. $35 for a 6.5” cake is a bit exorbitant. I knew it wasn’t going to be huge but I was expecting around 8”. Just a warning to others that the dimensions are not listed on the ordering page so don’t end up like me.

Also, the young girl picking up the phone was not very professional. Who picks up business calls with a simple hello? I did a double take and thought I had called the wrong place. I had to ask her if this was the bakery... She also seemed annoyed at the end and rushed to terminate the call.

While I normally love this place, I had to admit I was disappointed today. I had to dock a couple of stars for the price and the...

I've had this place saved for a while and finally got to visit while I was in the area. Usually, I go for croissants, but I was in the mood for something sweeter, so I picked up a green tea white chocolate scone and a small Heart Petit cake.

I haven't had many scones before, but this one changed my thought about scone! It was crispy without being dry, and there was no lingering aftertaste. It might be the first scone I've genuinely enjoyed.

The mini cake had a cream that tasted clean and light, made with just milk and fresh cream. It wasn't heavy at all, but pretty riched milk taste not too light still had a satisfying flavor. I really enjoyed them all.

I'll definitely be back next...
