I love good-quality baked goods and pastries, and I am happy that I got to try some of the items from this place. Croissants - these croissants were so good and fresh, and even when I consumed it a couple of days after I bought it, the croissant was still soft and the buttery taste really came through really nicely. Not to mention that the look of these croissants was stunning. I especially loved the shine on the outer crust of the croissants. These croissants were gorgeous. Bostock - I'm glad that I tried new things, but honestly I am not a big fan of this one. From the look of it, this pastry looked like it was going to be dense like a lemon bar or something, but upon the first bite, the texture was more akin to a croissant, weirdly. So maybe because the texture I was getting did not match what I had expected, that really threw me off. I also didn't think that the slivered almonds added anything to the pastry. It was in general still pretty good, but I probably wouldn't get this again. All in all, the baked goods from this place are great.

I love this place so much that I'm already worried about the day when the owner retires or stops running the shop. I hope I'd never have to experience that. La Chataigne is part of Lafayette's identity and I'm proud to have this little bakery in our town. Their business model is different from other bakeries — it doesn't need scale, it doesn't need capitalism, it doesn't need more profit — it cares about quality, the art of making food, and the joy it brings to the community. This place is truly a gem. I hope it continues to stay that way forever!
