Le Chic French Bakery

The coffee is delicious and pastries are incredibly fresh! The staff is welcoming, pleasant and helpful. Perfect quick breakfast spot to visit when in Miami Beach. Try the macarons and croissants.

Looove this place. We were staying at a hotel across the road and dropped in for breakfast every day we were in south beach. Delicious croissants and pastries so buttery and flaky .our favorites were the guava and cheese and the apricot ones. Chocolate was just about ok we could see the chips inside. Behind the counter is the actual bakery with a glass wall where you can actually see them bake the breads fresh. Lovely place a must visit. The mocha wasn’t that great but the café con leche was quiet good.

5 stars for the best expresso in south beach, at a great price. Gone to this place at least 3 times for expresso pick me up. Enjoyed a toasted sandwich as well as bakery goodies. All good.

Few weeks ago I went to this bakery, to buy some croissants, and after I gave my business card, to the person in charge at that moment, I asked if they can furnishing at my caffetteria, with some pastries every day. I was in trouble that day, and I asked if she can make a special price as usually is common, when you own a cafeteria, and you buy from the bakery factory. The answer was: this is manager phone number which can make special price for you !!! I left without any pastries, because they wanna charge me full price!!! But the most ridiculous is, that I called the number, I left my information but they never called back. Too wealthy, doesnt need more customers, I’m Glad for you.

This place is a nice mom and pop French bakery with delicious pastries and coffee with my favorite French dessert, macarons, always fresh every day! Yum yum!

Great stop for a morning coffee and treat :) had the mocca one day and café con leche the next. I’m not exaggerating the café con leche is one of the most delicious I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try some of the sandwiches at my next visit :)

We were looking for a cheaper lunch, which can be hard to find in the area. We were very pleased with our selection.
We ordered a chicken sandwich and mozzarella with meat sandwich. Both were really good and priced at about $ 8 a piece. With a soda, you could get lunch for about $ 10 and it was really good.
However, after seeing all the French pastries we couldn’t walk away without trying them! We ordered about 4 pastries to sample and they were all DELICIOUS. I particularly loved the chocolate éclair. Our bill ended up starting at $ 20 for lunch, but after all the pastries we paid $ 40. We were not disappointed! I cant say no to pastries
We did find it funny that it is a French bakery and everyone working there speaks Spanish and knows only little English. But everyone was really nice and helpful despite the language barrier!

This place is incredible to satisfy your sweet tooth! The pastries here are top notch! The coffee is good and the lady behind the counter is one of the nicest you’ll ever meet.

Excellent french bakery !! Everything is delicious and fresh. The place is very clean and the people that works there are very polite and helpful. The macaroons and Verona sandwich its a must try.

This place is so nice! My sister and I were walking down Washington Avenue when she looked up and saw this. After walking around we realized that we NEEDED to try this so we went inside and ordered macaroons and a nice crispy pastry (I can’t remember the name for the life of me!)
My sister and I got this and happily went about South Beach. We settled on eating these along Ocean Drive… next to the people working out in the outdoor gym. No shame. Anyway, the macaroons were sweet, a little crunchy, and dense. My sister and I ordered the coffee and caramel, which were great flavors. Our only regret was that we didn’t get more!
The other pastry we got was a layered pastry that had a crème filling in between the layers, topped off with some sort of chocolate brittle. This was delicious, but so hard to eat. We were going to split it, but breaking the brittle would mess up the crème filling, so we just destroyed it with our forks. It was a little messy, but worth it.
The lady that works there is super nice too! Go here, it’s a great place to get your sweet tooth fix on.

This place was so cute to stop In and pick up a few treats for our morning coffee. I was so enthralled by their croissants. The almond and plain were absolutely delightful! It was so moist and fresh tasting, you knew you were getting the real deal.

Wish I knew the counter lady’s name. She is one of the most pleasant people I’ve encountered in South Beach since moving here a month ago. (If an owner/​manager read this I was there around 4pm Tue ¹¹⁄₂₅)
Despite language barrier she understood pescatarians and recommended the huge tuna sandwich. I also got a spinach cheese empanada and a peach tart. Fresh, tasty and all for $ 14! (It was enough to feed two people)

Amazing Iced Coffee. It takes a bit to make because they do it from scratch but it is so worth the wait. I work close by and have tried other places for iced coffee and nothing tastes so smooth and strong.
The Baguette and Croissants are delish.
Love the staff, so friendly.

Picky people, stop doggin’ on this place. Le Chic is awesome. No matter where I stay in Miami, I make trek here and I bring that shit home with me too. I am obsessed with baguettes.
I can’t even handle the ham and cheese croissant. And we can’t talk about the chocolate croissant or the prosciutto sandwich. Jesus.
But, okay, the coffee is nasty. And the place is dingy but I think it is part of its charm.
Haters are gonna hate.

GREAT little French Bakery — the croissant sandwiches looked authentically divine. Had the raspberry sandwich type treat with strawberry cookies — the raspberry’s were so fresh and delicious that I wanted to ask if I could buy just some of those! Had a truffle which was excellent and a meringue which was a little dry.
Service was fast and good. Docking it a star because they were playing Spanish music in the French Bakery — a little French music would have made this a perfect experience!!!

Neat little bakery. Gave something interesting for breakfast when I didn’t want typical hotel restaurant fare.
The food was very good, we had a variety of breakfast croissants and coffee. There is a small bakery near my home that sets a high standard and this place didn’t disappoint. The two ladies working the counter were friendly and quick.

I have worked in French restaurants in Manhattan, Boston etc…
The bread is delicious! I had a mini baguette tuna sandwich, she offered to toast it and it was lightly done and crusty and yum! I added carmelized onions… Whoa. Only thing I was a little sad about, they didn’t have French mustard. That’s okay though:) good cortadito, too.
I will be back for the monstrous almond crossaints!

Le Chic French Bakery is a real gem of a place located right on Washington near the Twist bar. Everything I’ve bought here has not only been tasty with a well decorated French pastry presentation about it, but super fresh as well as reasonably priced; which finding anything reasonably priced in South Beach can often prove difficult.
They have a large selection of choices along with wonderful individual small pie like pastries, my favorite being the lemon meringue, and some great chocolates such as their éclairs.
And when you think about it, if they can manage to keep the nearby patrons of a place like Twist happy, who couldn’t they keep happy?

Ok this is the first time I have received a crock of crap from this place. I have been coming to Le Chic for years, maybe 6 years or so. But I do not come often maybe twice a year and I always get the same thing, some kind of fruit tart.
Over the years that I have been coming here, I have never received anything stale or unpleasant until now. None of the tarts I had bought previously whether strawberry, raspberry or apple had been unpalatable. The tarts were tasty but average at best, nothing toe curling about them.
But This time around I decided to try my all time favorite Black Forest cake $ 4.00
. Holy Christ on a cracker this was a big time mistake. Also for the first time I decided to eat it in the bakery.
The minute I opened the box I know something was wrong. As soon as the fork penetrated the cake I could feel the cake was stiff but not stale, it was not moist nor «jellied» in the middle. The maraschino cherries in the middle of the cake had a kind of light rubbery texture. The whipped cream had a texture of slightly hard refrigerated butter. The cake itself was dry and was very bland tasting, I could barely eat the little that I did, I ended up throwing ¾ of the cake in the garbage.
The counter I ate on was not clean at all, I had to brush the top of it with a napkin, so this bakery is not being maintained properly. The cake was something that would be served to inmates in a third world prison. The only reason I am giving 2 stars was for all of the previous tarts I had bought over the years, in reality this was a 1 star experience.
The lesson I have learned from this is, if I go to a Italian or French bakery, make sure French and Italians own and manage the bakery. I do not know who owns this place, but when I think of it, I have never seen a French speaking person working in this bakery.

What a true little gem!
Enjoying the weather just strolling around walked into this lovely french bakery.
Fresh baked bread, wide variety… I purchased the french baquette, oh gee it was so warm, fresh, and tasty. Being a huge bread eater, I am very picky on what I find to be excellent bread. This place showed me much love in the bread area.
Apple tarts, peach tarts, cheesecake, eclairs, etc… all kinds of beautiful desserts lined up in each case. Seriously, they looked to beautiful to eat. Had to grab a slice of their bread pudding, which was awesome.
As I turned I noticed they also offer sandwiches, all in a case for your viewing. They were so big and looked scrumptious! Next time.
The best part was there was a young lady helping us «Emily» she was radiating sunshine. Just so pleasant and happy, very friendly. She made my cortadito perfectly. Her personality was so infectious!
Great bakery, see you soon!
