Amour Patisserie

I came to buy the beautiful tasty pastry. The owner said he is serving savory lunch for the first time today. I ordered the warm Turkey and Brie on Focaccia. The onion marmalade has just the right amount of sweetness to it and the asparagus is cooked to perfection. It served with a small salad with bacon pieces and pine nuts. It is a great combo and the price is good! Over all I will say this is a great sandwich, delicious and warm.
The only comment I would say is that I wish the plate is bigger and the Granny Smith apple slices are a bit thicker and more spread out. I also got complimentary a vegetable soup with roasted veggies, yum! I love my lunch and love my take home pastry. Got to bring my family n friends to try.

Love this place & their bakeries, just wish the sitting area is bigger so more people can sit down & enjoy the food & coffee.
Their desserts are not only eye catching but also tasty. We went there the 1^st time around 4:00 p.m. & a lot of the goodies are gone. My friend told me their Raspberry rose cake is a must try and of course by the time we got there, they were all gone. Don’t get me wrong, their tiramisu, the choco hazelnut bar, the coconut cake are all delicious, smooth, soft & not too sweet.
It was about closing time and we got to chatted with the Chef/​owner Tony. He found out we came here for the Raspberry Rose cake so he quickly went inside and fix one for us right away!
We were so impressed, both the cakes and their service. Thanks Tony! We will be back for sure.

My guests and I were more than pleased with the delicious and creative cake that Tony and the others at Amour made for my sons 3^rd birthday. All I asked is that the design matched construction theme and bright colors, sure enough when I came to pick it up, it all that and more! Everything on the cake was edible from the cones to the number three. I chose chocolate cake with raspberry, custard, and some crunch crisps, and vanilla with passion fruit and raspberries. The cake was a hit! It was the perfect sweetness as it wasn’t too sweet. I also used Tony for my wedding in May where he made a lot of macarons for us. Definitely my go to bakery now!

One of the best bakery in the South Bay Area! Décor is quite stylish. Staff are friendly.
Pastry are recommended especially the passion fruit coconut mousse, mango mousse and the caramel pastry.
Chocolate pastry are not my cup of tea.

I love love LOVE THIS PLACE.
Décor? Super chic and modern and gorgeous. I wish my kitchen had this kind of style.
Selection? Chocolates, breads, mini delightful blissful things to consume and Sightglass coffee to sip on.
Not too many tables but it’s perfect for a date.
I ordered: Chocolate Cake with coffee and brownie & a macchiato.
Everything was phenomenal.
Excellent service, excellent coffee, excellent, unique, mindblowing layered chocolate coffee cake thing with crunchy chocolate pearls.
Wow.
Good thing I live far from here or I would be addicted. Can’t wait to go back!!!
I parked behind the building.

My favorite bakery in Los Gatos. The pastries are beautiful, you can really see the skill required in preparation of these pastries. Not only are they beautiful but they taste great as well. My only complaint is that the place is a little small, thus seating can be hard to come by at times. My favorite item here is the caramel apple cake. The rose cake has eloquently mastered the light floral taste of roses into a visual masterpiece. They have great coffee to complement your baked good as well.

I loved the coffee and the Tiramisu we ordered. Also they have a small but amazing collection of chocolates and they are simply divine. Its a small place but the flavors are delicious.

Okay, I’m so disappointed at this bakery. I skipped dinner to get dessert first bc I was afraid by the time dinner is over, they’ll be closed. I got here around 5:30pm and the bakery was dark with the closed sign. I thought it was odd bc clearly their business hours were listed, and they don’t close on Saturday until 7pm. Perhaps they’ve sold out? Nope. The store door was unlocked and I saw plenty of desserts left. I didn’t want to step inside as I don’t want to be committing any trespassing law.
I waited outside for about 10 mins, and this girl holding a Pizza My Heart box walks right in the bakery, went to the back and came back out to close the register. I’m standing in front of the bakery looking in all confused. Maybe she’s back from lunch? Okay, I peeked my head inside to ask and she said register is closed.
Are you serious?! I drove 30 mins and skipped dinner to be rejected by a lazy employee? Unacceptable. I understand she might be hungry, but haven’t she ever heard of delivery? And you should never leave the bakery’s doors unlocked. Even if you think it’s a safe neighbor. I’ll be outrage if I was the owner!
I’ll try again another day or wait until they open a location closer to me.

Fine and beautiful pastries featuring nice flavor combinations. We tried the mango key lime cake, the chocolate and orange ball, and the Meyer lemon pie. I would use the same order to describe their quality and taste. The mango key lime cake was a soft combination of thin layers of cake and mango mousse with a surprise center of key lime cream and a nice cookie-​like base. Delicious! The chocolate orange ball was a round cake filled with layers of chocolate and orange mousse on top of a crispy crust. Really well made!
The shop is small, and there were some snafus with our order, but the cakes were really good!

Thanks Tony for that wonderful rose cake! My wife’s birthday party was abuzz about the cake, with everyone wanting to know where it came from. My «Cordon Bleu» friend, an amazing chef said that this was the best cake she ever had in the U. S, rare compliment coming from her. I won’t say more because there are tons of this cake reviews on Unilocal.However I wanted to post a picture of the two-​rier rose cake which fed more than 50 people.

The short: delicious desserts
The place itself is very small with only a couple places to sit at. For some reason, the place seemed a little off-​putting because the back of the store is lit, the store front area is on the dark side with really bright lights to illuminate the desserts, and there’s glaring light coming in from the window outside.
However, once I had a bite of the coconut passionfruit cake, I set all of the ambiance aside. The cake was so good!
Sorry, I don’t have any pictures because I ate it too fast before I even remembered to take a picture!

Finally! The Raspberry Rose cake was here! The first time I came here, I really wanted to try the Raspberry Rose cake. However, they ran out.
Came here right after the Los Gatos Arts & Wine festival. My friend and I came here around 1 and I was afraid that they wouldn’t have the Raspberry Rose cake, but they did! The cake was almost too beautiful to eat! Came in, ordered the cake and was asked if it was «For here» or «To-​go.» I ordered the cake «For here,» and was then told to sit anywhere I would like. Chose a table and the girl that helped us brought out two waters and the cake.
The Raspberry Rose cake was delicious! By the look of it, I was kind of scared that it would be too sweet. I thought the cake and raspberry filling wasn’t too sweet. Although, the cake is covered with fondant to create the beautiful rose shape. I have never tried fondant before, but I didn’t think it was too bad. My friend had mentioned that it was too sweet for her, but it is on the lighter side compared to other fondants that she had tried. This place is very cute and I would want to try their other desserts!

The pastries at Amour Patisserie offer a stellar combination of aesthetic and taste. If you’re looking to impress in terms of looks and flavor, this is the place to go.
The raspberry rose cake is eye-​catching (understatement). I gifted it to my friend for her birthday, and she was impressed by both its dramatic design and deliciousness.
I also bought the hazelnut bar, which looks designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright high on a love for the color brown. The sharp lines and layers make it look more like a piece of art than a pastry.
The caramel éclair is rich yet delicate and my absoluate favorite pastry at the moment. It is worth every cent of the $ 5+ it costs. Crispy on the outside, the filling not too sweet. Wait for me, beloved, I will be back for you again.

A cute little patisserie off Santa Cruz Ave.
Walked in to get some pastries to bring home to my sister who absolutely adores the place and ended up snatching a chocolate chip cookie and hazelnut slice for myself.
Chocolate chip cookie was quite doughy and not too sweet. While tasty, was not the best cookie in the world.
The hazelnut cake, on the other hand, was heavenly – chocolatey, crunchy and hazelnutty all until the final bite. The size was perfect for a little dessert after lunch.
You can really taste the high quality of ingredients and their pastries are crafted beautifully. Almost too pretty to eat, but so tasty that you can’t resist!

Now & theno indulge in the sensuous beauty of a French pastry. Friendly people, nice variety of pastries. Even at near closing they serve the best.

Noelle’s Unilocal Notebook 2015
Amour Patisserie is my favorite sweet spot in the San Francisco Bay Area for so many reasons: consistently delicious pastries, chocolates, coffee, cookies, cakes, muffins, croissants, quiches. The quality is unparalleled, Amabelle and Tony are on the same level as my favorite pastry and chocolatier Pascal Janvier (Master French Pastry Chef and Chocolatier, Cocoa Barry Chocolate Training Center Cordon Bleu London and Paris). It’s the most beautiful and unpretentious patisserie you will find locally.
Normally, I come here with my best friend, my mom and my little toddler.
It’s a great place to take out of towners! When my friend and Unilocal Sis Santi invited us to lunch in Saratoga, post lunch we met up at Bunches (my favorite floral shop) to look at possible wedding flower arrangements for her upcoming wedding and then I suggested we– my mom, Santi and her fiancé stop at my favorite Patisserie before they head back to their hotel. Back then they were serving Blue Bottle Coffee (which I adore) — I bought a package for my hubs and for Daniel and Santi (Giant Steps). They no longer serve Blue Bottle but they serve Sightglass which is equally amazing. The owners of Amour were kind enough to give samples of possible wedding cakes to my Unilocal Sis and her fiancé to try :) It was certainly a sweet way to end our day with our out of towners– cakes too pretty to eat, chocolates, coffee, whole coffee beans to go– everything at a decent price (which I paid via debit card, wish they had Apple Pay! Actually, I wish more places accepted Apple Pay).

Noelle’s Notes
My favorite patisserie

A charming little shop located on the bustling Main St. of Downtown Los Gatos!
Upon walking in, I felt I had entered a high-​end cake boutique. On display behind immaculately clean glass were dozens upon dozens of colorful and perfectly delectable French pastries.
The Raspberry Rose cake caught my eye immediately. Absolutely enchanting with perfectly crafted faint pink petals, it completely stole my breath away.
I had to have it.
Upon looking closer, the petals were made with white chocolate. And as I bit into it, I found the center filled with luscious white mousse and fresh raspberry jam. Everything about it is a testament to perfection and deliciousness. These beautiful cakes ($ 6.50 each) are worth the trip alone.
The store also carry other baked goods such as cookies, mid-​afternoon savory pastries as well as custom cake orders (can’t wait to order my next birthday cake here). If you want to pamper your palate, come. here.
You will not regret it!

Temptation was calling my name!
I sprinted over to this place after reading one of my favorite Unilocalers’ (Beth W.) review on their exquisite lil’ confections. All the glowing reviews from fellow Unilocalers definitely warranted an immediate visit ;] I loove how this charming bakery showcases their sweets as if they were precious gems!
During my visit, I had the opportunity to experience the:
+ Caramel Éclair: One word: Heavenly! I’m not much of an éclair kinda gal, because I’ve only encountered ones with sub par flavor, but I’m so glad I decided to take the plunge with THIS ONE, because it was divine. The fresh choux dough was light and airy and the luscious, high-​quality cream filling was perfectly sweet. The chocolate glaze on top wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet. Hrmm, I’m already lusting for my next visit, just so that I can have another one of these bad boys.
+ Chocolate Hazelnut Bar: I wasn’t supposed to order another dessert, but when the lady behind the glass case squealed about how this one was her fave, I had to try it. The highlight of this dessert was the crunchy hazelnut praline base – a pleasant contrast to the whipped chocolate ganache center. Good times.
They sell Tea Forte here— I had to order a soothing Bombay chai tea to cleanse my palate in between bites!
My only gripe about this place is that seating is limited. My gf and I had to be combative with the last table available. Personally, I like to sit down, have a good convo, and relish my sweets, comfortably, on site, so if I didn’t score a table during my visit I would’ve been irked. Otherwise, friendly and accommodating service. I can’t wait to try more of their enchanting desserts. I believe that the chocolate heart, tiramisu, raspberry rose cake, and coconut passionfruit cake are calling my name.
Get their caramel éclair! #sensualeruption

I haven’t been here yet but a friend brought over some of their desserts and they’re amazing. I definitely plan on checking it out sometime.
CARAMEL APPLE CAKE: I love caramel apples and this dessert was perfect for me. There’s bits of chopped apple in the center, surrounded by caramel mousse and a beautiful green glaze and chocolate stem.
RASPBERRY ROSE CAKE: This is one of their most popular items and it’s for good reason. It’s such a pretty cake and surprisingly the white chocolate petals taste good too. The inside is vanilla and white chocolate mousses with raspberry rose jam at the center.
CHOCOLATE HEART CAKE: One of their gluten-​free options. Delicious chocolate and almond sponge cake with vanilla crème brûlée and dark chocolate mousse center.

Santi and I were in the neighborhood to visit a florist and were surprised to see fellow Unilocalers Beth W and Noelle J. Together, they invited us across the street to this French patisserie for a round of cake tasting and we happily obliged. Upon entering, the boutique interior encompassed a large glass counter, small tables, and chocolate-​colored walls. They specialize in European pastries, breakfast rolls, chocolate truffles, tea and Blue Bottle Coffee.
Noelle was very gracious to treat us to a Pistachio Cherry Cake ($ 6.50) that came with fluffy textures with a finessed mix of cherry and pistachio flavors. The flavors were light but striking, with definitive seasonal cherry anchored by heavier notes of pistachio. It was sensational.
We also shared a Coconut and Passion Fruit Cake ($ 5.50) that came with layers of coconut mousse, passion fruit curd, and coconut cake. Again, the delicate textures were well matched with the coconut mousse that provided the sugary lift while the passion fruit curd rendered the heavier finish. The cake was soft and easy to fork into. The experience was refined, effortless, and unparalleled.
Noelle also brought a handful of Chocolate Truffles with flavors that included Dark Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Earl Grey, and Raspberry. The flavors were steep in dark chocolate complicated by a mix of subtle and striking fillings. We managed to cut them into tiny pieces and shared.
We inquired about a wedding cake and Chef Amabelle was very kind to let us sample a delicious chocolate cake stacked with fresh fruit and whipped cream. It was incredible the extent the light airy textures had made an impact on the overall experience.
Lastly, we couldn’t leave the patisserie without a cup Giant Step Blue Bottle Coffee. It was made to perfection, as the taste was bold, airy, with a silky consistency towards finish. It was a perfect match for the bitter chocolate truffles that also served to break into the range of decadent flavors.
Service was efficient, friendly, and responsive. From presentation to taste and service, Amour Patisserie has few peers that can match their culinary talent. What a well-​put together boutique in the middle of Downtown Los Gatos! Thanks to Beth and Noelle for the wonder visit. I hope to eventually return with Santi for another round of tasting that include their assortment of Macarons, Raspberry Rose Cake, and Chocolate Heart Cake.
