Been here a couple of times, their croissants and le mille-feuille (especially the caramel flavor) are the best. Have only tried their cabinet food out. Quality of food is perfect but there could be room for improvement on service at the till.
Went for breakfast on a Saturday around 11.30 and the cafe was quite busy, but managed to get a table. No one greeted us when we entered but then the service was polite later on.
We ordered a coffee and orange juice which came out very quickly and the wait for food was not too much longer. We ordered the smashed avo and poached eggs on sourdough, and the potato galette with bacon. My potato galette was more like a potato patty but was flavoured very well, would’ve been nice to have some relish like in the other dish to cut the taste. Also wasn’t a fan of how the spinach was raw rather than wilted. Both dishes were good portion sizes and the prices were reasonable. We also tried a lemon meringue tart which was very good, not too sweet and not too sour.
Overall good meal, would recommend and come back again.

Had the chicken quiche, lemon madeleines and chocolate eclairs. Amazing, the quiche was so light and fluffy and not too greasy. perfectly seasoned. Would love to go back and try many more items in the shelf!
They do a really good hot chocolate here. Quiche was just okay. Wasn’t heated up long enough so had cold bits in the middle. Staff were really friendly. Great that they are environmentally friendly too with their compostable packaging.
Both times I visited have been impressed
pastries are presented nicely and taste is good with not too much sugar
they only provide plastic cutlery which can be little hard to use but it's all about the taste for me as most other simular outlets just don't cut it flavour wise.
Keep up the good work guys :)
Met up here with a friend for an afternoon tea. It is a bit far from the city but the 75 bus to Wynyard Quarter gets you very close.
They have a range of different pastries to choose from and they all look really good. We only had pastries but would have like to try their croissant. The chocolate eclair was nice but the pastry was a bit soggy. The chocolate L'lnaya was really good. Nicely tempered chocolate on top with the creamy mousse and crispy pastry shell at the bottom. It had a nicer chocolate flavour than the eclair.
Would be a place worth visiting if you have a sweet tooth.
Lucky us, treated to work team dessert date! Such a selection: eclairs, madeline, apple tart, dark chocolate cake... the staff are the sweetest around! Perfect place also for birthday shouts!
Had a morning walk around the area and stumbled upon La Petite Fourchette.
Fantastic ambiance and I love the open concept kitchen where the pastries are being made.
Good coffee at reasonable price. Haven't had a chance to try their food yet, but a friend went there and loved every bit of their desserts. I'll be back!
Great place, vibrant staff, delicious and carefully crafted foods. The only critique I have for this place is the limited seating area. Best almond lattes you'll find in the city and authentic tasting breads and pastries. I would highly recommend their mushroom miso quiche.
Only place in Auckland that does a jambon-beurre remotely close to those in France, even though it's not a boulangerie i think the baguette here is up there with the best bakeries around (Amano/Olafs etc).
Délicieux mercibeaucoup
Good pastry there. I have tried couples of them (cherry, hazelnut, walnut, fruit) and all nice sweet. Also recommend the tiramisu
The fact that they open early at 7am is worthwhile for travelling to work early. Customer service warm and friendly. Variety of patisserie to choose from. Delicious brekky bun. Almond croissant with chocolate oozing out....mouth watering. Definitely recommend and will come back again.
Went for Le Paris Brest and the choux pastry was perfect, texture and taste wise. The crunchy candied pistachio was a perfect touch to it. However, the praline filling could do with a little less sweetness as I found it a bit satiated towards the last bites, but again I feel that way about most sweet desserts so that’s a personal take. Still really enjoyed it regardless.
Staff wasn’t very welcoming but was not too bad.

Ordered Chocolate Tart for family's birthday cake. Tart was dark rich and not too sweet. It was perfect treat. I sliced 8 which was very good value.
If your mouth is dry, come by here to immediately start salivating from all of the little dessert pastries, biscuits, and bread. The only problem about visiting is not being able to maintain self-control from ordering one of everything haha.
However, guess should note that on a rainy day at least, there's very limited seating inside if you're in a group of 4 or so that want to sit and eat lunch.
Fresh bread filled with a delicious cheese. The croque-monsieur was beautiful. The star is the Le Mille-Feuille absolutely perfect. The tiramisu was amazing. Love it. Worth a visit.
French patisserie is so awesome! I love every single of them and we both ate them up!!! Fast service and good coffee. Just don't like the take away plates&cutlery
When you are greeted with “Bonjour, comment ca va?” You know you have walked into something truly French. 🇫🇷 We ordered the Calamansi Tart (on cafe owner’s recommendation) from their tempting long cabinet display of Gallic delicacies, all are so beautifully presented 🌸. Calamansi is a citrus fruit similar to lemon and limes. It is covered with torched meringue, the sweet burned flavour mingling with the tartness beautifully. Have the tart with a coffee - perfection👌🏼. If you want a little French indulgence in Auckland, check out this place on Daldy Street in Wynyard Quarter!!
Discovered La Petite Fourchette through an officemate’s recommendation. Tried their quiche lorraine and my first impression was that it was the best quiche lorraine I’ve tasted in my life (so far)! 🤩 I wasn’t sure if I was just hungry then or I just haven’t tasted enough quiche, so went here again one weekend for brunch and yep, still the best quiche ever 😍
Barista was also super nice, seemed like she knew most of the customers and was chatting with them while making coffee. Coffee was also good; I usually get coconut flat white and prefer a milk brand which they unfortunately don’t use. I don’t know how she did it, but she made my coffee taste real good! She was also nice and attentive enough to cut the quiche in half as my partner and I were sharing.
Highly recommended and will definitely be back!
