Tarts de Feybesse

I read about this place in the chronicle and finally last weekend decided it was time to splurge!My son and I came minus my other two kiddos. We decided we should get 4 different things and share them all with the others at home. My daughter absolutely loves lemons so of course we had to try the trompe l'oeil! We also got the opera cake, the citrus financier and the brioche. They were all absolutely heavenly!!! My personal favorites were the brioche and the citrus financier. It is a bit pricey but worth the splurge! You deserve a nice treat from time to time!

SERVICE: 5.0/5.0Immediately and kindly greeted by the lady working the front, even though she was busy helping others in front of us with their orders. (A rare quality/practice apparently in bay area service). We eventually made our way to the register where again we were kindly greeted by the cashier, Ceasar. He was so polite and patient as we asked more questions about the food. AMBIANCE: 4.8/5.0Its a gorgeous bakery. Very high-end but in the bay area, real estate and space are at a premium, and 90% of their space is for the kitchen where the magic happens, so no real disappointment that there were only a few spots inside; although accompanied by a decent and very nice little outdoor seating area if you did want to eat onsite. FOOD: 5.0/5.0Chef put out this upscale hotdog made of lamb and IDK what...but it was freaking bomb.com (6.0/5.0) must be an A.P. course came with some green beans which were really nice too...and i dont generally like green beans. Got a nice brioche loaf which wasnt too sweet and had a good texture. Not the best Ive had but still a really nice item. (4.0/5.0)Little cake which resembled a French opera, although im not certain they called it that. Very light and very well put together (4.8/5.0)Got a jar of Pear butter which was excellent (5.0/5.0)DRINKS: 5.0/5.0Got a cafe au lait and an americano. Both were very nicely made. OVERALL: 5.0/5.0Probably the best bakery in Oakland. Better than Butter & Crumble in SF. On par with B.Patisserie. In all fairness, we got here late too so we didnt even get to try some of the more popular items.... Sheesh! So more to come hopefully!!! Cant wait.

My husband recommended this new French pastry spot in Oakland, so we decided to stop by on a Saturday afternoon. It is located in a newly constructed building in Uptown. Parking can be a little tricky since there are limited metered spots available. There are several restaurants nearby which is great.There was a line when we arrived, but it moved fairly quickly. The inside is small with limited seating but there are tables available outside. We picked 2 of their seasonal tarts - blood orange and peach. They were both extremely delicious and can't get over how pretty they looked. It takes a lot of time and effort to make food beautiful and delicious hence they were on the pricier side. This will be my go to spot if I ever want to pick some up pastries for a party/event. Every single item that was presented looked extremely beautiful. It sort of felt like I was walking into an art show. Another great business in Oakland!

Amazing pastries! Been following the husband and wife duo since Top Chef. They've come a long way since their online delivery restaurant to a James Beard nomination for outstanding pastries. The babka, brioche and pain suisse were my favorites. They also have a really creative mango pastry with mango mousse inside. Will definitely be back to try more!

I followed them on Instagram, but never got to try their lovely pastries. I was excited that they were opening a store. I ordered the pistachio eclair, pain suisse, and mango trompe l'oeil (French phrase that means "trick the eye"). The trompe l'oeil looked amazing and I appreciated the fact there was actual mango in it. My favorite was the pain suisse. Overall, a great place for pastries! Good luck with the James Beard nomination!

F I R S T - review of - 2 0 2 5 !Aside from the steep, possibly inflation induced prices (which I'm rapidly growing immune to, sad to say), I think the quality of the ingredients and presentation are the main reasons why I would consider coming back here. Also, they make excellent gifts for your dessert loving friend such as myself! I also need to try places that come highly recommended and are places started by 2 renowned pastry chefs. It did meet my expectations even though my wallet is def feeling it. My favs were def the trompe l'oiel (fools the eye in French) and the mango. Neither were sweet but the pieces of fruit looked so realistic, like a piece of art. I didn't want to break it apart. The first one we had looked like a lemon and with the lemon mousse and curd had a very light texture. I would come back for these. The basque cheesecake was okay. Not a huge fan of the financier and raspberry puff pastry. But absolutely loved the pain au raisin. If I happen to be in the area, I would love to stop by, pick up maybe one pastry and savor it with a latte.

Gorgeous and tasty desserts. Friendly service. Modern and bright environment. Indoor and outdoor seating options.

I am admittedly a huge top chef fan, and had been following the news that Chef Monique Feybesse was planning on opening her East Bay store front / cafe for a while. How lucky that it's in a super central area! The staff is very warm and friendly, the pastries are gorgeous works of art, and I appreciate the outdoor seating. I tried the Palmiere with a cappucino and my friend got the savory tart; we enjoyed both, and will certainly be back. My only qualm is that they open at 9a; I typically get my coffee much earlier in the day, so will have to reserve this for second coffees and weekends.

New hot pastry shop people are lining up for.....You want to know "is it worth it?"IMO yes it is.Anything with chocolate cream they make is going to be an instant buy. Wow. The chocolate rose was amazing. Same with the wafer rectangle. Lemon was so good, but unfortunately we had things that were sweeter prior to it. So eat the lemon first. Neither of us cared for the eclair. Just not our speed. Taste, texture appearance all top notch. You pay for it. But it's worth it.

Food: 5 plus!!Service: 5!!Cure little place to hang out. Definitely come back to try other pastries!
