Amandine Patisserie Cafe - Los Angeles

I think I had high expectations. I *love* French pastries and always grab a tart when the option is available. I went for lunch and had a turkey sandwich and quiche. I also *love* quiche. This quiche was good, my daughter and I sampled both the vegetarian and meat option. The sandwich, not so much. My turkey tasted like it was frozen and defrosted. I ended up removing the turkey. I also ordered a tart, macaroons, and strawberries to go. My tart was honestly the most disappointing part. I was expecting the typical glaze on top but it was like jello. The fruit on my tart was mushy and the apples were shriveling like they were drying out. The tart almost had a cake like consistency with very little pastry cream. Overall, I was disappointed. I'm not sure if my expectations were too high or there was something off about my sandwich and tart.

One of our favorite breakfast spots! They have a large pastry case full of danishes and croissants and more as well as a great menu of items. We love the veggie quiche and it seems that many others do, too, because sometimes they sell out early! My family also really enjoys the dessert case they have available with cheesecakes and tarts. Overall, a huge hidden gem we cannot get enough of!

Incredibly delish food and kind, welcoming staff. I always have a great experience when I go here.

Great little French style restaurant in Santa Monica. Coffee, cappuccinos and pastries are excellent. Tip: they have free parking in the back. Also you can site on the patio if you want outdoor seating.

Awesome place! Appreciate the pretty presentation, makes the food look more yummy! Haha the omelette past two times I?ve gotten it haven?t been skimpy either. Tasty too. Generous with their portions and I like how they highlight and present their receipt attached to the bag. Thank you!!
