Fabien and Lisanne Moreau own La Gourmandine Bakery and Pastry Shop in Pittsburgh. Fabien learnt baking techniques at the renowned Lenôtre Culinary Institute in Paris.
The pastries are always excellent and incredibly filling. The Chouquettes are light and airy with a sweet, almost custard taste. The Croissant Amandes is one of my favorites, I love how sweet the crust is.

This place, never disappoints! The sandwiches are huge and delicious and full of fresh ingredients. The pastries are to die for! I will always order from there over and over again.

I have no photos to submit, I fear I have eaten all of my treats before I could photograph them! The chocolate Marquise was rich and creamy, the tarte au citron (which I'd never had but always wanted) perfectly tart and sharp. The choux a la creme is a go to comfort food for me, however the star was the panier framboise was the star in my order. Sweet, crisp, just the right burst of raspberry in the middle.
Thank you!

This location is horrible. Placed an order on DoorDash.
Received the wrong order. Ordered 2 dozen chouquettes. Received TWO in total. Savory items were thrown in a bag with sweet pastries which then tasted like the savory items. Pastries with jam were thrown in a bag with packaged Madelines that were then covered in jam. I was going to bring the Madelines as a gift to a friend this afternoon.
Called the location to let them know what happened and all I was told was "Alright thank you" and they hung up. The guy on the other end could not care any less.
Completely dismissive. Totally unacceptable preparation of the order with inability to do follow a simple order of 6 items and inability to package bakery items with common sense. Pathetic and rude customer service. Will be sure to let everyone I know not to go to this location.

I don't know if its a good or bad thing that this bakery is so close to my house. Seriously .I havent had a bad thing from here yet. The Brioche Bostock is to die for. The almond croissant is flakey, buttery, crispy, nutty, and sweet perfection. The Parisian sandwich transported me back to Paris with butter and ham on a perfectly baked baguette. I have to limit how often I come here or I wont be able to get out of my house. Go to La Goirmandine and eat all the things.
