I’ve only been to La Petite France few times for breakfast and coffee (the quiche and chocolate croissants are to die for– they also make a mean espresso) and I love the cafe’s atmosphere. Books, great furniture, lovely decor. Here’s a bit of background if you’ve never been: La Petite France opened its West Hartford shop in 2009 and boasts a wide selection of pastries, French breads, fruit tartlets, sweet & savory croissants, and a variety of sandwiches served on the bakery’s homemade baguettes. LPF also serves organic, fair trade coffee from Bean & Leaf in New London.
And now, it’s time to bring on the cakes.
Here’s part of their event description:
“The bakery has recently added a new member to their culinary team, a very talented cake baker. She makes incredible cakes for all occasions and will be having a sampling of her work to view and taste that evening. In addition to the cakes, La Petite France will be serving a variety of their authentic French delicatessens.”
The event is free and open to the public. Hope to see you there!
