Delice et Chocolat - Ardmore 9 East Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, PA 19003

"Excellent bakery, French pastries much better than common encountered elsewhere. Kind attendants. Good products. Excellent Quiche Lorraine, hot chocolate and caffe latte. I do like everything here! suggestion: if baguette with ham and cheese ask to get warmed."

"Excellent French croissants, very fresh, and delicious cakes, need to be there early for available selection. Soups, quiches are delicious. Needs a little interior update in the second room, seems like stuck in the remodeling stage."

"My favorite local trip to Paris. When we discovered this cafe in 2019, its vibrant cakes and macaroons mesmerized us. But we stay for the character, Parisian atmosphere and absolutely delicious coffees and pastries. I was able to practice my French to order my morning coffee with the owner and it felt so wonderful to have that experience here in the U.S. I always take my friends here when they visit or are in town because it’s a treasure I want to share. When I had my son in December 2022, I had to return here as it feels like a little haven to me. You know how some cafes you visit feel too sophisticated for young children? Even returning with a little one, I never felt discriminated. I love seeing the span of guests from families with toddlers, to young business people meeting, to friends catching up, to our seasoned seniors… it’s a beautiful medley and true community. Since the pandemic their sweet and savory crêpes have gone away, which is sad as they were fantastic, but there are still many great options. In the morning you can take home a baguette and jam, or for brunch try their tuna sandwich on baguette, or grab a cappuccino and pain au chocolate at any time of day. We recently discovered that my newborn son has a cow milk sensitivity through breast milk and so I cannot have dairy in any form. (So a lot of my favorites are out of my diet now, such as pastries, but I still love a cup of coffee.) I have had a few dairy-free decaf mochas and cappuccinos now at different places around and about – and Delice et Chocolat makes such great tasting almond milk options! I am so grateful that I can still visit and have such inclusivity (without some bitter, stale or sour flavors of coffee like at other cafes). If you want a good tasting dairy-free coffee this is a great place. Still a strong favorite through these past years and through both of our changes. I hope that you will fall in love with the charm of Delice et Chocolat as I have. Note for traveling families: authentic French flavors for young palates to try, extra space in adjoining room, clean bathroom but no changing table, high-end toy store across the street."

"As you can see the Pastry offerings are delightful. The Hot Chocolate was creamy, chocolaty & devine on a cold morning. We both had the Leek & Parmesan Croissant which stopped us in our tracks. Soft, flaky, Pastry with an unbeatable buttery flavor only to be overshadowed by the scrumptious leek & cheese filling. The Chocolate Almond Croissant was Devine and all the flavors shown thru. The first Chocolate Croissant I've had in ages that had Chocolate in every bite. The Ham & Cheese Croissant was also a show stopper. It's no wonder we've seen lines to get in during peak times on weekends."
