While visiting the Cleveland Flea last Saturday, my friends and I took a break after shopping for a sweet treat. Coquette Patisserie is a bakery & bar that specializes in French pastries, macarons, cakes, confections, savory small plates, and craft libations. My friend had actually discovered the spot through adorable Instagrams of their exquisite-looking cheeseboards. The space is very quaint with Parisian-inspired decor and display cases full of treats almost too pretty to eat.
I treated myself to a “Coco Loco” of genoise soaked with dark rum and topped with toasted coconut, all enveloped with coconut mousse. I already love coconut and rum, but this was truly delicious. It tasted similar to that of a cheesecake, but without the heaviness.
After an early morning start, nearly three hours of driving, and shopping all morning I was exhausted. I ordered a fruity tea to revive myself, which I was really excited to try. It was served it a pretty glass teapot with the sweetest tea timer. Fun, but I’m pretty sure it was just an Argo brand tea mix I have at home though. Next time I’ll try something different.
My three girlfriends ordered champagne, a cheeseboard and french macaroons. They enjoyed the bubbly, but the macaroons were extremely stale. The cheeseboard was definitely grammable. The cheeses were as delicious, as picturesque. We’d suggest asking when the pastries were made before ordering and asking for additional toast if its too hard for you to enjoy.
This is a great place to try on a weekend afternoon for a relaxing sweet treat. The decor throughout the indoor and outdoor seating areas is very charming. The staff was also whipping up some fancy and beautiful drinks while we where there, that I’d love to try.
I’d love to return sometime to bring my mother and try more of the pastries. Definitely check out the Coquette Instagram if you’re into pretty food & drink snaps!

I love places like these! We used to have a European dessert place that looks as good as this. That coco loco looks absolutely divine!

Wow I just fell in love with this place and would love to visit it some day. I love the design and the dishes look like they came from some top of the line chef show. Wouldn’t mind having a bar like this near me.
COCO LOCO.. wow, felt so tempting, since I love coconut like anything..

I love the French aesthetic, whether it comes to food or design. Those petite cakes look so delicious and it looks like such a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy an afternoon! I went to the farmer’s market this past weekend and stopped at a stall that had the cutest little pastries: http://everybodygirl.com/2017/05/farmers-market/

I love all you have stated about Coquette Patisserie. I also love pastries.
I love finding gems like this and I’m mad about macarons. Your photos of the offerings are fantastic too. There was a time in my life where I would check out new places all the time. It’s a little harder these days, but hoping to resume this soon!
