I'm not a crazy croissant connoisseur, but I've enjoyed croissants across France and Quebec, and been disappointed by many croissants in Ontario. These croissants were really well reviewed, so we were excited. But they were worse than store bought croissants. There was very little flake, the outside was hard like crusty bread. It was a sad croissant. The croissant we got looked very different than pictures from a few months ago, so maybe the supplier or recipe changed?

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and I can see it was lined up. Great sandwiches which very tasty. We went with the lemon tart as a dessert which was recommended. It was delicious 🤤 highly suggest you stop in. Limited seating.

Absolutely fantastic! Phenomenal food, great service and charming atmosphere! The owner, from France, is very friendly and charming too! I lived the almond croissants and pains au chocolat, as well as the lemon tart. The Basque cake was great with its homemade raspberry jam and custard. Great coffee prepared by the owner while we chatted! Exquisite Butternut soup to go. Reminded me of back home (Québec City) with its French European cachet! ♥️♥️

Lovely! You must visit this place when you come to Belleville, Ontario. I had a croque Monsieur & a coffee. Well, I won't count calories but it is delicious. They have indoor seating and patio seating in the summer -of course. The decor, service, and the food is very tasty. I want to come back.

The lineup out the door on Saturday mornings speaks for itself. I had a croissant and a breakfast sandwich (also on a croissant). The croissants are great (though the breakfast sandwich wasn't my favourite - it was probably the sauce). A lot of great baked options here. Better get there early if you want to have a good selection. Pro tip: don't sit at the tables inside by the door at busy times (i.e. Sat morning) unless you like being constantly jostled while sitting at your table (cause the line will snake past most of those tables).

You you know your foodies when all you need is a buttery croissant to make everything better! Truly AMAZING, some of the best classic french food outside of France we have be able to find! Its truly like a tiny slice of Paris in downtown Belleville, an authentic french culinary experience without the passport! Definitely recommend getting the almond croissant and ham & cheese - but trully they are all amazing.

This bakery had amazing sandwiches, bread, desserts and hot chocolate! I was very impressed with the variety of foods they offered. I had a roast beef and brie sandwich which was made with real roast beef (not deli meats), caramelized onions, brie, greens and a delicious sauce. The portions were very large! Two of my friends could only eat half of their sandwiches. I highly recommend coming to this place if you want delicious sandwiches, quiche, puffed pastries, and cakes!

Youve got to try this place when you visit Belleville. Preferably on a Saturday when they have their fresh baked croissants. They are all phenomenal but the cheddar is to die for! Also the Chicken Havarti sandwich is something I think about often. They bake it for you so its all melted with buttery toasted bread, flavorful aioli and juicy tomatos. You wont be dissapointed here.

How lucky we are to have LAuberge de France in Belleville! Their attention to detail and dedication to quality shine through in every bite. This photo captures one of their delightful creations: a sesame-seed-studded bagel with smoked salmon, topped with a fresh slice of lemon. Its the kind of meal that makes you appreciate having such a high-quality, French-inspired eatery right here in our city. Whether its a cozy breakfast or a leisurely lunch, LAuberge de France offers an experience that feels both special and accessible, making it a cherished spot in Belleville.

Visited on a Wednesday and was very much looking forward to some fresh pastry, a croissant sandwich of some kind or anything like what I saw on the website. I was most disappointed. Turns out croissants, fresh pastry and breads are only available on Saturdays. The sandwiches they offer are pre-made and reheated. My daughter ordered the smoked salmon and took one bite and opened the sandwich saying it tasted like bacon. Long story short... She spit out the second bite. Strangley they had put lemon pieces, with the rind, in the sandwich. So disappointed .

Heard nothing but good things about this place so we made the trek in from Kingston only to leave kinda disappointed. The service was great, they were busy and trying to move people through fast and friendly. But the food was not up to the hype. Our croissants tasted like day olds, if I hadn t seen them constantly refreshing the bin you wouldn t have convince me otherwise. The disappointment deepened when my wife s almond croissant had zero almonds and the filling was so granular it was like the sugar hasent been dissolved. Finally we also tried their scratch made sausage rolls, it was the only good croissant we had, but the sausage was not good. Almost no seasoning, like a lump of pork with maybe anise flavor. It was funny, we asked them to cut it half because my wife and I were sharing it, not only did they use the knife that just seconds earlier was used to slice a cake, leaving a chocolate smear on the roll, but they also cut it length wise. Funny way to end an odd experience. If you haven t been, also be warned, it s near impossible to spend anytime at the counter looking at the desserts without feeling in the way. Wish there was more room to look salivate and decide

I have been an enthusiastic diner at LAuberge de France for many years. Lunchtime provides an imaginative variety of sandwiches, quiches, salads, soups, frites and delectable desserts. Freezers contain wonders of frozen pies and soups which you can purchase and then pretend that you are a brilliant cook. Once a month Jean-Marc (chef) produces an amazing 3 course Chefs Table which always are sold out - with good reason. Saturdays are croissants - plain, chocolate, raisin, almond and brie. Service is friendly, efficient and personal - a complicated balance to achieve - well done!

This quaint French patisserie is a real gem in Belleville. Wonderful croissant unlike any I have ever had. It is totally worth getting up on a Saturday morning and heading downtown for these delights. We also thoroughly enjoyed the ham and vegetarian quiches we ordered. We placed our order easily online and our prepaid order was available promptly at the take out window, perfect for those wanting a curbside pickup option. Hoping you will have more take out dinner options again soon, we thoroughly enjoyed the ones we had in winter 2021.

This is a very quaint little cafe/market/bakery. The look & ambiance was very nice. We ordered a flat white coffee & à cappuccino & I tried the almond croissant. The almond croissant was filled with a generous amount of almond paste & was quite enjoyable. One of the better ones I have had. The coffee however was one of the worst we have ever tasted. It literally was not drinkable & went to the trash. Clearly some serious training & change of coffee beans is desperately needed. We would consider going back for the croissant & potentially try some of the sandwiches they offer. Vegetarian options: They were some vegetarian sandwiches as an option Parking: limited Street parking only Kid-friendliness: Friendly service

Very cute place with sidewalk seating area reinforcing its French feel. Desserts are really nice - my wife had the rasberry cake, which was amazing and not something you would commonly find elsewhere. My kids shared a chocolate cake, which was also really good. I had a croissant, which is only available Saturdays so I thought it would be something special, but it was a disappointment. Thick layers of dough, bulky, not crispy. That is the only reason why I couldn t give them five stars.

Stopped in for a quick bite while passing through the area. My partner and I were really craving sandwiches and we picked THE BEST place! An authentic French patisserie with a French chef, we were not dissapointed. The havarti chicken sandwich with creamy pesto and buttery bread was fresh and had a perfect amount of each topping. The croque monsieur was verrry rich like an ultra high quality ham grilled cheese with bechamel . We were also tempted by all the beautiful desserts, and tried the strawberry and pistachio cake. It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. And their in house espresso blend made a full bodied americano with notes of chocolate, caramel and nut. 100% will go again.

December 21, 2023

I literally don t know how this place gets good reviews it took sooo long to get our food and the food turned out to be such a disappointment. For $14 smoked salmon sandwich was the worst I ve ever eaten - the salmon was so salty and mushy, and the bread was crazy hard, either it was stale af or so overly baked. the coffee was incredibly bitter. the chocolatine BARELY had any chocolate and was so dry. The space is cute but solely based on food, I d give this place 0 stars. Waste of money.

Their roast beef and brie sandwich is the best sandwich I have ever had anywhere in the world. I havent tried their grocery or pasteries but they look good AF too.

Where is the SIX-Star possibility ?! Almost every Saturday I come here to buy fresh bread and tasty croissants and/or delicious breakfast sandwich together with a double espresso. And sometimes some wine (red or white) to enjoy with dinner. I highly recommended this place. Must try.

Sweet people served up a sweet and delicious homemade dessert. My waistline said, No!...but all my senses said, YES!!!...my sense obviously won that debate! And so very worth it!

BEST croissant in the region (Saturday mornings only). Pricey, but worth it and extremely luxurious. Croissants are usually sold golden yellow so you can heat/crisp them to golden brown at home in few minutes in the airfryer/oven. Brie filled croissants are even better but also cost a little more! I buy 8 at a time, freeze them, and indulge when feeling decadent.

Wanted to love it and have a great place to get a proper croissant in the Belleville/PEC area, but that is not what this is. Discovered them online and preordered a bunch of croissant/chocolate croissants etc. today for the family. Croissants are kind of doughy, and not very flaky, more like an all-butter croissant from Walmart. I suspect they buy them pre-made from an industrial factory, or at a minimum buy the pre-made dough. Given that, we ended up cutting some in half and toasting them, which definitely improved them. Also, we got one raisin pastry, and I believe the raisins were off, as they tasted like vinegar, almost like they were beginning to ferment or something. Very nice store, however, with some nice imported goods. The patio looked pretty busy for a Saturday morning, and they had some nice looking sandwiches etc., but wont be back for the pastries/croissants. Better off buying the frozen ones from Costco and baking our selves.

Update: I visited this Cafe this weekend with my family. It has lost its warm and cozy touch since my last visit. No longer is there seating inside and it has become more of a food market with long queues of lines. There is limited seating outside and we came earlier enough to find seating. My family and I collectively spent more than $100 on breakfast sandwiches, pastries, juice and coffees, including 2 lattes. I had failed to mention when ordering the 2 x 3.50 lattes that I had wanted decaf (Im very pregnant). I had dropped my pastry bag outside on the patio and promptly returned to notify a staff member that I would like the lattes decaf. She advised me it was too late they will not accommodate me and to get to the back of the line where I would have to pay for this mistake. And then they whisked away the 2 caffeinated lattes Id just paid for, with barely an opportunity to offer them to my family. My sister in law kindly waited in line to order a decaf latte for me and when she was waiting in line she overheard several staff members gossiping about me. The decaf latte that they had then brought out was scalding hot and oversteamed. Most of the other food items were good. Noting that my mom was disappointed with the croissants she has heard so much about. This was my second visit here and based on my experience with such poor, bitter customer service this time, I will not be returning nor will I recommend it. ------ Old review: This is such a cute little addition to downtown Belleville. It has a very warm, cozy feel with all the Parisienne touches. Service was quick and kind and coffee was delicious. The croissant, which is said to be best enjoyed on a Saturday morning when theyre freshly baked, was pretty good; however, I will be excited to try other things off their menu next time. They had a very enticing lunch menu offered, but I was visiting for coffee. Overall, I would highly recommend, and will certainly revisit.

Everything they serve is so fresh, and is some of the tastiest homemade food Ive ever had. It is a little more expensive, but I expect to pay a little extra in order to receive such high quality foods made with fresh sourced ingredients.

Best in the city. They go above and beyond to make sure their guests have a wonderful experience. Appetizing lunch choices and delicious desserts serviced in a nicely decorated french bistro. Be sure to reserve a seat at their chefs table events before they sell out or on Saturdays for fresh homemade french croissants and baked goods! A must visit.

We enjoyed the food and beverages, would have given 5 stars except we were very disappointed and concerned regarding their Covid-19 safety measures. The worker touched communal objects, our drinks and our food with bare hands. We didn t see any hand washing or sanitizing of the payment machine in between customers. Good cafe but we felt uncomfortable here.

Coffee great, bought almond and chocolate croissant. Older blonde server, rude and indifferent when the croissant was saturated with marzipan and basically said take it as is thats the way it comes. When we are trying to shop local and you meet that rude indifference you start to wonder why make the effort. A little staff retraining in politeness might be a good start.
