La Gourmandine - Bakery and Cake Shop in Mt Lebanon - 300 Cochran Rd, USA

I'd be 500 pounds if this was closer to my house. The option to order ahead is great. We got some baguettes, with bacon and cheese and without, chocolate pastries, raspberry lemon macrons, eclairs, and a chocolate mouse dessert. Every single thing was delicious. The cost for the quality and amount was more than fair. Only complaint was the parking lot was packed and small. I understand why, though.

We had an almond croissant, gourmandise, and a slice of quiche Lorraine. All were outstanding!! We got a few treats for later too. The line out the door was worth the wait. The staff was friendly and gave us tips for at home reheating. Could have ordered one of everything! Next time, I’d like to get a lunch sandwich.

Loved the almond croissant at this place. We took that and a chocolate eclair, a macaroon, and a chocolate croissant all to go. Everything was excellent. Mainly on the chocolate croissant... It had like almond flavoring infused throughout the croissant... And not just some icing added on top. It was SO good. But props to my friend that gave us this recommendation. Thanks!

I love La Gourmandine and look forward to their incredible pastries when I want to treat myself. When I ordered the pain au chocolate this week I was disappointed. Very little chocolate in this one which is not their normal preparation. I hope this was an exception and not their 'new normal' :(

I lived in Paris for a year and missed authentic croissants and sandwiches. This place has both. Their baguettes are amazing and the prices are so reasonable especially for the quality. They have a pastry and drink specials for under 5 bucks. It's so nice to have a place like this in Pittsburgh. There are multiple locations also.

La Gourmandine is a French Bakery, that has expanded from its beginnings in Lawrenceville, to multiple locations around Pittsburgh. When they first opened, you would have to wait in long lines, early in the morning, in hopes of getting your favorite pastry! This location is a bit smaller, but quaint, and full of many selections. The quality, taste, and presentation of their pastries and bread products are excellent. Never have I made a poor choice stopping here for a treat or something to bring as a gift. The prices are a tad bit higher than your average bakery, but you are definitely receiving quality in return. I would highly recommend the Clafoutis.

This was a hidden gem my boyfriend and I discovered. I am very happy. This is a little piece of Paris in Pittsburgh. Staff knows each baked good and is very friendly. Each pastry has a beautiful clean finish. We eat with our eyes first and I can say I was hungry the moment I walked in. We bought lots of treats but I only have a few pictures. I live 45 minutes away but this is definitely a place I will be back to in the future.

This French bakery has a few locations in the Pittsburgh area. I recently visited this location in Mount Lebanon for the first time. I felt thankful that the lines of customers were not too long on a Saturday. The employees spoke nicely to me, and they carefully packaged the pastries that I selected. My husband and I bought two boxes of pastries, and we ate all of them in one day. I like fruity foods, so my favorite pastries were the tarte and the macaron. All of the pastries were very fresh and very flavorful. The prices were reasonable at a few dollars per pastry. Now I feel interested in trying out the other locations of La Gourmandine, and I hope that someday a location opens in the North Hills.
