La Brioche Norfolk

We are so lucky that La Brioche moved to Ghent! The previous location was warm and welcoming, and that has carried over to this one. Located at the former location of the Colley Pharmacy, the wonderful folks at La Brioche have refitted the spot with a full scale bakery churning out the best almond croissants I've had - even in Paris or Nice. The staff is friendly, the large windows allow you to take in the views of Colley Ave even in the winter, and I couldn't imagine a better bakery to take this place. The staff has an automatic coffee machine, ability to warm up their pastries that rely on being warm, and a large variety of macarons and other desserts as well.

Popped back today. Such a perfect spot. Fresh bread, the French bakery selection slays. I would recommend stopping by earlier in the day if you want to snag some fan favorites that get sold out fast like the various flavored croissants. Cakes and tarts are absolutely 10/10. I love the little coffee tables where you can grab a cup of coffee while enjoying freshly baked goods.

During a group trip to W. Virginia, my SIL and I went out to try to find a place for brekkie for everyone. I found this little bakery and it was so cute inside! Parking can be tight outside and make sure you check the signs.They are all things French and while it's tiny at the county, they are quite organized. You order on the left and make your way around. They have some outdoor seating and seating right inside, but they also gave an upstairs with more seating. The bakery is owned by a husband and wife team. They have a passion for their craft.You can see into the kitchen and view their huge oven. It's pretty cool to see all of the workings. They have countless French pastries, croissant and baguette sandwiches, desserts and coffees/teas.I picked up a could of baguette sandos for the fellas, and of course, some breakfast pastries. We bought many macarons as well. The place is so special, we went back on the day we left to pick up some more. They had these amazing housemate rocher truffle balls! I bought every single one they had. The owner was so happy that I liked them and said that they don't sell that well in Northfolk. I told her she'd be welcome in NY with them any day! They are sooooo good and better than the store version. I also picked up a couple of baguettes for my mother because she appreciates good, crusty French bread.If ever I'm in the area again, or even just passing by, I'll definitely take a detour and visit them again.

An incredible French bakery in the heart of Neon District. Each one of their creations is crafted with the highest standards and you can taste it with each bite. If health and money were not a consideration I could probably eat out the entire store.

My roommate decided to take me to this local bakery she really admires French delicacies such as this where for me I'll be satisfied with eating a Little Debbie Cake so let the critique begin:I chose the cinnamon turnover I think that's what it's called and I went in with having no expectations to avoid disappointment but thoroughly surprised by its taste and for the portion and quality of what you pay for it's a good deal. Definitely not lacking in the cinnamon flavor but not too sweet and has some kind of finish on top to make it appear shiny. They offer more traditional French desserts and SUPER FRESH bread the baguettes are exquisite not to mention huge, if you are a fan of them don't pass up the opportunity.The inside has a very aesthetic display case everything separated by category so if you are in for a more sweet or savory mood it's very easy to navigate. I love that there's an upstairs dining area gives off some pleasant vibes could spend hours in there. I'm always torn when it comes to being decisive but everything looked exemplary I will have to comeback to try the abricotine or eclair maybe even ganache cake anyways to end I highly recommend visiting!

Not sure I've ever had anything mediocre from La Brioche. We have tried several sandwiches, many pastries, the baguettes, loaves of bread.... it's all wonderful. The Italian Baguette sandwich is one of my favorites: filling, but still not too heavy, fresh, filled with flavor. The almond chocolate croissant is my favorite pastry. The almond filling combined with the little ribbons of chocolate makes for one of the most satisfying pastries I've ever had anywhere.

Very French (although I've never been, so what do I know?!). The ambiance was so nice and quaint. I honestly felt like I was in a Parisian cafe down the street from the Eiffel Tower. It was seriously adorable upstairs & downstairs. My girlfriend and I went for breakfast, and I chose to get just an Apple turnover, as they didn't have oat milk for a coffee (I wanted a full on breakfast, but also really wanted coffee to go with it). I liked it, but I would've liked it slightly heated. My girlfriend got the quiche Lorraine, and the person at the counter said they were still warm, but they weren't, and my girlfriend said they would've also liked it better warm, so that was disappointing. I'm glad I experienced it, as I've always been curious, but French food just not be my thing.

Great selection of french pastries and breads. Coffee was good too. A bit pricey however quality was good and nice ambiance. Family run and they were speaking French a bit!

Not happy with service-- they were busy and I felt rushed. I chose a chocolate mousse cake--too sweet. They did not have anything that was non sugar. They serve coffee and I ordered a cappuccino they did not offer other cream to add and ONLY had SUGAR to use for the coffee. I asked for an alternative ( sweetener or honey or stevia). They said only all sugar in this shop. Perhaps the croissants maybe good however I will never know--not returning. Clean shop

Amazing. I put in a large order super last minute for an office holiday party and they were so accommodating. They were very helpful and communicative. Everyone at the party loved the pastries. Highly recommend!
