CH Patisserie — Restaurant in Sioux Falls Township

I discovered this place through recommendations from my cousins since I stopped by to visit family. I was skeptical at first, but was easily converted once I bit into one of their almond croissants--it was fresh, buttery, and flakey. The staff person who helped us, recommended the lemon meringue croissant and didn't steer us in the wrong direction. We immediately bought what they had left.

I have stopped by twice in five days and will most likely make another stop before leaving. Absolutely loved the parties here. The staff here are attentive and answered all of our questions.

I am a pastry person, so I wasn't too tempted by the macarons or other desserts even though they were highly recommended by my cousins.

To address a few things from the other reviews, that don't change my 5 star rating for the shop, since it's rare to find pastries this well made: I agree that the coffee isn't too great at least for my particular taste I get it, that folks can spend less amount on pastries and macarons at other stores or in grocery stores. What you really are getting here is the quality and fresh ingredients that you won't find at...

Got a chocolate croissant and a chocolate dream petit gateau. The chocolate croissant was so good, however messy, that there are no pictures. It wasn't the best I've had but maybe I'm just a simpler person. The same praise cannot be said for the chocolate dream. It is simply not my cup of tea. This little cake is $7. For the splurge, I figured it would be worth it. I even got a fresh one that hadn't even been put in the case yet because I got there before 11. They were still making them. I have been waiting to try this cake all day after dreaming of how good it must be! The coating on the cake tastes no different than Hershey's syrup. The chocolate mouse is just blah and also bitter. The center is like a Hershey flavored extra milk chocolate truffle and as you guessed, I think it tastes bitter. Almost cocoa powder flavor. The cake on the bottom is the thinnest, driest, most flavorless piece of cake I think I've ever had. I am led to believe either my taste buds are cheap or something went terribly wrong while it was being made. I may come back next vacation for a chocolate croissant, but it won't be a...

What a lovely shop. Let’s start with the important part—these are world class pastries.

The shop itself is bright and spacious. It feels inviting, overall a nice spot to linger with some coffees and delicious treats.

We tried a small assortment and got some macarons for the road. Everything was wonderful, the strawberry cheesecake croissant had lovely balances of flavors between the laminated dough pastry and the fillings, the kouign amann had lovely caramelized sugar flavors paired with the excellent laminated dough work, and the tropical getaway pastry was a fun journey of flavors and textures with the most lovely squeeze of passionfruit sauce that instantly transports your to the beach.

The macarons were wonderfully done, the shell itself remained soft without cracking and crumbing, with a moist interior. The fillings were lovely flavors, the mint mojito macaron was a standout.

The shop is accessible with plenty of room for wheelchair access, the restrooms are tucked away a bit in the ‘backstage’ area of the building.

This is worth the stop and produces pastries that are top...
