Estelle Bakery & Pâtisserie

The Arden Way pâtisserie makes a French pastry stop out of breakfast or lunch. Its long case holds classic croissants, from plain and almond to ham and cheese. Start with a croissant; the shop also serves quiche, tartines, macarons, and cakes.

Estelle brings French pastry technique to Arden Way in Arden-Arcade, with laminated croissants, fruit tarts, macarons, and composed cakes filling its case. The polished cafe pairs those delicate sweets with breads, breakfast pastries, and coffee, giving the Arden storefront a full daytime range that moves easily from a morning croissant to an afternoon slice of cake.
