A Labor of Love
The inspiration behind La Gourmandine came from a love for baking and a desire to bring a touch of France to Pittsburgh. Fabien and Lisanne, the heart and soul behind this venture, both grew up in families where sharing a meal at the table was a cherished tradition. Fabien fondly recalls, “there was always a bottle of wine and some fresh bread on the table and it hasn’t changed!”
A Journey from France to Pittsburgh
Lisanne, with roots in Pittsburgh through her mother, has been visiting the Steel City since she was a baby. When the couple decided to move to the United States, Pittsburgh was the natural choice. Fabien, who didn't speak English upon arrival, began working as a line cook in some of the city's best restaurants. He honed his baking skills at the prestigious Lenôtre Culinary Institute in Paris.
Expanding Horizons
La Gourmandine first opened its doors in Lawrenceville in June 2010. The success of this venture led to the opening of a second shop in Mt. Lebanon in October 2014. In 2017, they centralized production in Hazelwood, which also features a storefront. The latest addition to their growing family is a café in Downtown Pittsburgh, complete with a full espresso bar.

"The best bakery around. French cakes, pastries, baguettes, and quiche are all phenomenal. One of the things we look forward to most whenever we are back in Pittsburgh (even while living in Europe)."
"All our birthday cakes are usually ordered from this bakery, and we’ve loved them all! However, this time we were sorely disappointed. We picked up our cake on the day we scheduled for pickup, but the Frasier cake tasted and looked days old. It was soggy, and the strawberries were not fresh at all. So disappointed! Will be rethinking our decision to order from this bakery location again."
"Loved the almond croissant at this place. We took that and a chocolate eclair, a macaroon, and a chocolate croissant all to go. Everything was excellent. Mainly on the chocolate croissant... It had like almond flavoring infused throughout the croissant... And not just some icing added on top. It was SO good. But props to my friend that gave us this recommendation. Thanks!"
"La Gourmandine is a French Bakery, that has expanded from its beginnings in Lawrenceville, to multiple locations around Pittsburgh. When they first opened, you would have to wait in long lines, early in the morning, in hopes of getting your favorite pastry! This location is a bit smaller, but quaint, and full of many selections. The quality, taste, and presentation of their pastries and bread products are excellent. Never have I made a poor choice stopping here for a treat or something to bring as a gift. The prices are a tad bit higher than your average bakery, but you are definitely receiving quality in return. I would highly recommend the Clafoutis."
"Wow!! This is without a doubt the best French bakery I have ever been to (including in Paris itself). The chocolate almond croissant is absolutely amazing, I can’t get enough of La Gourmandine. I have been to most of their locations around Pittsburgh and this one definitely has a slight edge over the others. It doesn’t have much seating, but eat it there, take it home, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!"
