Word on the street
What locals are saying
La Pâtisserie is a French-style café tucked into the lobby of the upscale Hotel Bennett on King Street, helmed by 2024 James Beard Award–nominated pastry chef Rémy Fünfrock. Regulars and visitors alike praise the elegant atmosphere—marble bar, chandelier, spacious layout—and standout pastries like the frangipane, pain au raisin, and croissants, with coffee widely regarded as a solid Starbucks alternative in a beautiful setting. Criticism centers on inconsistent pastry execution (some find them underwhelming relative to the luxury price point), a pushy tip-screen dynamic at the counter, and an overall vibe that skews more hotel-guest and tourist than true local neighborhood café.
