Little Gourmand

Nashville and its suburbs are lacking in high-quality, European bakeries, so I was thrilled to discover this spot.I had my first experience at Little Gourmand this week with my daughter for lunch. This particular spot is a market & cafe. This is such a charming place! It's very tidy and organized, and the food is very good. I had a baguette sandwich with meat, brie, and butter, and my daughter had a little pizza on a croissant crust. We shared an eclair. The market is so special, we purchased some French chocolate, tea, a giant French shortbread cookie, and four macarons to take home. The macarons are delicious, each one unique in flavor. My daughter and I take little nibbles at a time and "ooh" and "ahh" over the thoughtfulness that went into creating them. She and I bake together often, and we deeply appreciate a quality baked-good!The two women working were very kind and helpful, and the French gentleman working was a delight to chat with. I have a soft spot for international markets and food. I believe it's a privilege to step into anothers' culture for a bit, experience the food, music, and goods. I love being transported to another world! I dearly want this bakery to succeed - our community as a whole will be better for it. Having traveled to Europe, I cannot imagine the limitations the owners must face with acquiring ingredients, training pastry chefs, and pleasing the Southern-American palette. My only wish is that they someday expand into Brentwood; so they're a little closer to home!

So Authentic. I love the fresh food and REAL ingredients. I will be back! (The baguettes are amazing.)

Love this place. I have loved everything I have tried at this restaurant. The sandwiches are amazing, I am not a fan of macaroons but theirs are amazing. They have fantastic caviar. The service has always been great. It's a refreshing space. Highly recommend if you are in Nashville. Really feel like I'm in a small cafe in France every time I visit. Love this place.

Went on a Saturday just after opening. Everyone was so welcoming and happily answered all my questions. Parking was easy with many available in the front of the complex that had the feel of a small town shopping experience. I got pastries and a chocolate bar: an almond croissant, eclair, apple turnover and a Milk Boy chocolate. 10s across the board for this place. The patisserie was charming and had seating inside and outside. Can't wait to go back for macaroons.

I LOVE IT HERE!!! i highly highly highly recommend both locationsapple pound cake: 8/10 i have been to their other location in berry hill and didn't realize it wasn't their main one, i was so excited to try this location. it is so cute here they have beautiful little tables and a whole selection of gift type snacks to buy. the owner was so nice! the apple pound cake was delicious. i got there late in the day so they were out of everything which i was expecting. i will be back here in the morning and leave another review on their selection. at the berry hill location i went towards closing and they were still fully stocked basically. i am also not sure what else they would have at this location, it seemed the other location has more display space? but maybe i just need to see it when it's full and so we will see.

I can understand how this place can appeal to a certain segment of the population, but it's not going to appeal to the coffee loving public. It's more women's shop, not a coffee shop.Coffee is not too good, and even the store's inventory is targeting half the population ( women ).If you identify as a woman you're going to love this place for its knickknacks. Not it's coffee.

So we stopped in here today at about 3:45. We apparently need to come earlier next time. There were not too many fresh offerings left but we did score some Macarons an Eclair and two Croissants!! Oh, and a $11 chocolate bar! The staff were SUPER nice, answering questions and not judging. It was a nice pit stop for some luxury items.(They had caviar in a fridge!!!! - Next time!). I wish I had asked about their sandwiches but we were in a hurry.Please stop by, beautiful little shop, tons of jarred goods I will purchase next time, and delicious goodies!

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday on our way out of town. I'm glad we did. Unfortunately, they didn't have many of the baked goods I saw in other reviews. But what we had was awesome. We had the croque monsieur, leek and parm pastry, mushroom and feta (I think) pastry, tomato mozzarella quiche and a pistachio eclair. Loved every single thing I ate. LOVED. It was worth fighting traffic from downtown to get here. Shop is really cute. The owner was very kind and service attentive. There's a small parking lot for easy parking, but I imagine this fills quickly on the weekends.

Cute french shop. We got some macaroons and they were delicious. The service was great. Shop worker was very knowledgeable.

Their food is so authentic - the best patisseries in Nashville and the area. The service is outstanding. Everything about both locations is supreme. Highly recommended :) One location is a typical French supermarket with cute coffee tables and chairs where you enjoy freshly made pattiserie and relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere .Both locations bring French ambience to Nashville. Outstanding.Gordana
