La Petite France Bakery

I been ordering cakes from here for years and years now. It is a small bakery located in Englewood. It is kind of hidden but once you find it you will love this place. My personal favorite is the mango mousse cake! All time fave, if you don’t know what to order try to mango mousse and you will fall in love. They have tiramisu, mousse, and fruit cakes. Taro cake is also another great option.
If you don’t like too sweet of a cake or dessert you will like this bakery. I am not really a sweets person so I always prefer getting something that is light, which La Petite bakery is one of my favorites! They said they will close for good at the end of October and will be moving to another location, hopefully it’s not too far!

I was so impressed that this bakery was able to provide me with a last minute cake for a co-worker’s birthday. It was beautiful AND delicious.

I love the mango mousse from here! It is just the right amount of sweet and fluffy.
Only minor drawback is that it’s far from my house. (and the owner has bright orange walls and never any lights on except in the cake cases)

I wanted to pick something up for my Mom’s birthday, and was going to stop at one of those bundt stores on the way home from work. Then I remembered that this place was close to my office. Although I didn’t place an order in advance, I did find out that they always have 6-​inch mango mousse cakes available. Ten minutes later I walked out with a decorated cake for my Mom. It was nice that she decided to share, because it was delicious!

This place is great. Awesome pastries and even better deserts. Super friendly lady working the counter. Skip over the Starbucks next door and come here for the good stuff, you won’t be disappointed. Don’t forget to tip.

We ordered a mango mousse cake based on Unilocal reviews, and it was even better than we could have imagined, light, not overly sweet, and not expensive either. The bakery was empty when I went to pick up the cake at 1pm, but the owner was taking another phone order, so I guess that’s the bulk of their business.
I’m already planning on getting the strawberry mousse cake for my daughter’s birthday. We can’t wait.

It didn’t help that we showed up when the sole employee was on a lengthly phone call at 10AM. He was a bit hostile when we asked to order some food items. Sorry, we apologize for being paying customers! No breads available. Some nice looking Valentine’s day desserts were ordered to be consumed tomorrow.

My family and I love this bakery. It is the only place we get birthday cakes from; well, at least cakes for anyone who is Asian in my family :). We used to be fans of Andres, but we’re now ordering our cakes from this bakery. I discovered them a few years ago after reading Unilocal reviews. The cakes are light and not too sweet. The mango cake is very light and refreshing. Don’t even think about ordering cakes from the Asian bakeries on Federal or Alameda before you give this place a try.

We were visiting the area, saw this small bake shop and decided to give it a try. The pastries and croissant we sampled were superb. My wife is a cake lover and she is already conspiring to find an excuse to get one of their cakes even though we live 250 miles away!

This will be my first Unilocal review and I had to do it because the birthday cake I got for my wife was amazing! Having just moved to the area, I was skeptical about finding a good place to buy a Chinese style cake which is what we are accustomed to eating. The special taro cake was beyond our expectations. We need this place to keep its doors open so we can continue to buy delicious cakes in the future!

I love this place. This is the only place i buy birthday cakes. They have the best special cakes, like taro cake. So delicious! If you want a real cake, not a sugar taste cake, Come here!

Yummy pastries. I even ordered my wedding cake from here. It was beautiful & delicious!

Went here last week and order special durian cake and the taste was awesome and will come back

I first tried this place because I was doing a favor for someone and picking up a cake. I went in and saw some delicious looking treats and decided to give my pregnancy cravings a small fix. I LOVED the fruit tart. Since this day, I have been back several times to get more!
WARNING! They do have limited quantities of things and the owner says that he doesn’t make too much because he wants to keep them fresh. If you call in advance, you can place an order and make sure they have what you are wanting to eat!

Yum, yum, and yum! We first visited this place after a meal at Damascus Grill. By far the best chocolate mousse we’ve ever had. It was a melt-​in-​your-​mouth miracle, a wonderfully concocted confection. We stopped by for a second visit and were pleased to find our old favorites accompanied by some additional new treats. This time we tried the almond croissants and cinnamon buns. I was surprised at how crisp and flaky the cinnamon bun was – I’m so used to overly doughy versions. The quality of the pastries here is incredible. It does, however, come with a steep price tag. I could drop by next door at the Safeway and get the same thing for half the price, but it wouldn’t be nearly as good. Great work!

I can’t believe that I’m giving a 5 star rating… I really take this place seriously. I have tried so many of their cakes and they just do not disappoint!!! So here goes…
Let’s address the big elephant in the room… the owner/​baker IS NOT FRENCH! However, IT IS A FRENCH STYLE BAKERY… How would an Asian know anything about French baking? Because the French spent a lot of time in Asia influencing them!
Tiny shop in a strip mall… décor is lacking, but who cares? There’s not an abundance of cakes filling out the shelves, but what they do have is FRESH and LEGIT!
Cake wise… OH EM GEE… it is now my GO-​TO place for cakes of any occasion. I mean it… and I do not live close to DTC. It all started with the MANGO MOUSSE cake… this is truly a mousse cake… it’s not too sweet, the mousse is velvety and smooth like mousse should be. The mango flavor gives the mousse a tropical and bright aroma.
Then I found out they make a DURIAN CAKE… ok those of you that have never had durian you might not want to try it, this is not for newbees. This cake is only for people who can eat Durian… I’m sorry but it’s either a love or hate relationship. Durian is a special tropical fruit that gives off a VERY STRONG ODOR! BEWARE! Don’t buy this for a crowd that doesn’t even know what durian is! However… if you know your crowd and know they like durian… this cake is incredible. Real chunks of durian whipped into the light creamy frosting, gives it a buttery richness and the sweetness that is so characteristic of durian. This guy is brilliant to even think to bake a durian cake… I wish more people offer this. I know the clientele is small… but we oh so appreciate this cake so very much.
Finally there’s the PANDAN COCONUT cake. Holy shit… this cake is awesome. Yes it’s green… from the pandan leaf extract, gives it a beautiful aroma that compliments coconut perfectly. In this cake, he uses real pieces of coconut meat in the cream. NOT THE DRIED CRAP you buy at the store, but real fresh coconut meat. So awesome.
I have been bringing these cakes to all my parties for the past couple years and I am a super star, EVERYONE LOVES ME, hehehehe. But here is my disclaimer… I am Asian myself and my parties are often Asian parties… really haven’t sprung it on other groups yet.
So between these 3 incredible cakes, I always have an awesome cake for every occasion. I am about to try their tiramisu cake… will update my review once we try it.

I was a little hesitant when i saw a non-​parisian looking guy manning this bakery with a french name. But he smiled and talked friendly with me and i instantly like this guy.
I got a mango mousse for my sweet fix. I don’t like stuff which is too sweet (cinnamon something i am looking at you) I like it to be subtle sweet. lingering sweet. This is what exactly this mousse was about.
I came back to office and had kept this on my desk. Big Mistake! Should have kept in the fridge! Soon i began to have cravings, and i said to myself,
” i will have a little. Just to taste.“
I had a little. Then a little. Then some more. In seconds the whole mousse was over. It is just awesome!
This is a real local business and they dont take cards for purchases below $ 5. But most stuff are inexpensive.

I was in the area for lunch over at Qboda with a friend. We were like well lets go grab a treat from here before we heard back to the meeting. This was around 2pm. When we went in the open hours on the door said they were open until 6pm. So thinking that they would be plenty open we went in. When we went in we were surprised to find one sad little croissant, a couple of truffles and well that was pretty much it. So we walked out with nothing. We figured since they were open another 4 hours there would be more selection then a single croissant.
I might try it again very early in the morning when they have at least 2 croissants. Note when we walked in it looked nothing like the first picture for this business if it had I would have gotten something.

La Petite France Bakery I am INDEED YOUR FAN!!!
YES ! YES! YES!
Finally, this bakery delivered to my expectation the SPECIAL CAKE, I have been eyeing and perhaps the whole Singaporean and Malaysian crowd too if they know what they can have.
Anyways, eversince my last visit, I have been to La Petite 3 times ordering that SPECIAL cake and some cakes, petite fours and other pastries delight for my personal consumption. Elsa, Andy and their crew did not disappoint. Many more returns to this bakery when I want that SPECIAL CAKE.
I cant thank enough La Petie France Bakery.
XOXO and lots of HUGS!

When you walk in, and notice the odd shade of orange walls, semi-​classy decorative items, and random chotckes they sell around the bakery — you might be tempted to walk back out but bear with me here.
THEY HAVE GREAT PASTRIES! And that’s what any bakery is about. It’s not like anyone comes to a bakery to hang out or admire the décor. I recommend their strawberry mousse, mango mousse, fruit tart, and tiramisu. (OK that’s everything I bought that day.) The almond cookies looked delicious though as did some of their other pastries. I’ll have to come back and try them. If you don’t see something in the case that’s on the menu, ask the staff. The mousses and tiramisu weren’t in the case but when I asked about them the staff brought them out from the back.
Nevermind the looks of the place, just go on in and buy some pastries already!
