Patisserie Lenox

Latte was on point, their baristas seem to be well trained. But I’m writing the review to recommend their pastries not their coffee. The chocolate almond croissant was sooooooo good. Cakey but still fluffy, just the right amount of sweet. Their cinnamon twist was light and flavorful. Will be back for more.

This place is amazing and so is Colton the Barista. We are so thankful to have found this establishment. However the reason we found it was less then delightful. As my partner and I are new to the area opening a new franchise here we had parked and wanted a coffee. We went to Northampton coffee and was greeted with anger, condescending and vitriol verbiage. She even went as far as to mention how terrible Patisserie Lenox is and to “never support them” as they let people sit.. After one more incident of her berating us we decided to take the 10 minute walk to patronize the establishment that so enraged this young angry barista from NH coffee. THANK GOD. As we found PATISSERIE LENOX and their amazing menu of exquisite beverages and Gourmet pastries and overall good vibes. Patisserie LENOX also takes COVID precautions very seriously, yet also provide the customer with amenities to make it even more safe for the patron. They even have made a division of “in” and “out” in order to protect their customers even more. (see photo) The prices were also shockingly more than reasonable for what looked like edible art.. They make are everything from scratch using the finest quality ingredients that are even organic and locally sourced whenever possible. The visual delight offered at PATISSERIE LENOX is only matched by the taste of all we ordered. Thanks again to this Little Taste Of France and their Barista Colton who did a fantastic job.

This french bakery is the closest US bakery I’ve found that compares to parisian bakeries, and Ive been to some good ones. The macarons are actually light and smooth. It’s so rare to find a real french macaron state side. The outer layer of the meringue doesn’t *quite* melt on your tongue the way a perfect meringue will do, but the quality of the cream filling is heavenly. Not too sweet either. I especially loved the elderflower one. Lavender on the other hand was Too strong! Excellent flavor, but sooo much of it, my boyfriend said it was reminiscent of hand lotion. Croissants as well, had the classic buttery flavor and beautiful moist but clearly delineated layers. I have yet to try their beverages and meal items but I know they’ll be delicious if the quality compares to the baked goods.

I go for the macaroons. So. Good. The large array of pastries are bad for the waistline, which is just as well I don’t live near there anymore. But I make sure to visit whenever I’m in town — on a cheat day. The coffee and tea are OK, not the best, but they’re OK. You also have to try their veggie sandwich. The mushrooms and cheese with vinaigrette dressing is to die for! One of the tastiest places in Northampton. Can’t recommend it enough!

Neat little cafe and bakery right in downtown Northampton. Found this first when searching for a place that sold macrons near my mother in law's. (Not a short trip for us, actually wouldn't have stepped in save for a special medical appointment nearby.) Haven't broken into these yet but Mom's super excited haha~ pictured is Amaretto, Chai, Strawberry and Champagne flavors. Also grabbed an iced chai for the ride home and that was excellent! Very fast service. Chai spice came thru the ice warm and peppery. Open condiments bar for drinks almost threw me but once I figured out what was available was very pleased!! A splash of simple syrup was all the chai needed, and a paper shield to keep my hands from freezing (like the common New England maniac I am ordering iced drinks while it snows.) Sad we couldn't try a bit more, but the menu and display looked amazing. Maybe some other time~

Wonderful pasteries and staff. We didn't like the fact that none of them are priced, and having to ask is uncomfortable. What if someone can't afford the $4.50 pastry. They have to keep asking to find out which pastry they can buy. We know we would've bought more if we knew the prices and didn't have to ask.
