Where is your bakery?

Our flagship patisserie shop is located at 917 Preston Ave Suite B. This is in the same building as Sticks Kebab & Mona Lisa Pasta. We are located in the right rear, and there is plenty of parking!
We also have a pop-up location in The Workshop at the Wool Factory.

Where can I find your menu?

Pastries are most fun when they change every day, so you can find our daily menu of breads and pastries posted every morning on our instagram stories.
*

May I reserve pastries ahead of time?

Well… Yes & No ;)
We place priority on the shop environment and we do not accept day-of orders for pick up. On weekends our pastries often sell out and we recommend arriving early. We also recommend planning your visit by checking our Instagram stories for the daily menu, which also lists the approximate times that daily breads will be coming fresh out of the oven.

We do welcome custom orders of a dozen or more items, which we ask be placed at least 3 days in advance. Send us an email and we would be happy to help you with an order!

What does 'Cou Cou Rachou' mean?

Bien sur! 'Coucou' (pronounced koo-koo) is an informal but sweet 'Hello' in French. 'Rachou' is the French nickname for "Rachel" (aka their version of "Rach"). Chef Ludo Lefebrve (as well as Rachel's pastry chefs at Le Cordon Bleu Paris) called her this during their time together at his restuarant Petit Trois in Los Angeles.

What is your favorite French phrase?

"Vouloir le beurre et l'argent du beurre" (who doesn't want to have their cake and eat it too?!)
