Lovely selection! Unique options. Friendly service. A great breakfast and brunch stop.

No wonder it opens only 2 days a week. So many cute pastries you can choose from. tbh, the croissant itself is no better than others (like acme or Fournée bakery), but with the pistachio&strawberry flavors added, it wins!
Best bakery in Berkeley. Alain is very passionate about his craftsmanship. Everything is amazing!

This French bakery is the real deal! His croissants are in my top 3 list! He also makes killer chocolate chip cookies! This place does have really limited hours,and so I can't give them 5 stars. But the food is a solid 5 stars . You won't be disappointed in a croissant with turkey ! Yum

I go almost every week. Often twice. Everything is delicious. I even bought the $19 brioche once, and you know what? It slayed.

This French bakery is like a cozy little corner where carbs and cravings meet their match. The pastries are light, and the fillings are like a flavor explosion that hits you just right. No need for fancy descriptions; you just need to know they're darn good. The vibe inside is chill – Music in the background, warm colors, and friendly faces. No frills, just good food. If you find yourself near Berkeley and want a taste of France without the long flight, La Noisette Sweets is where it's at.

One of my favorite bakeries in the area!! The baked goods are made with high quality ingredients and the execution is impeccable - the pastries transport you to Europe!

A tremendous patisserie (viennoiserie really) that provides a good variety of fresh baked croissants, croquettes, etc.
Amazing French bakery in West Berkeley, walking distance from me... Is that a good or bad thing? They are only open twice a week so at least that helps my self control. Wow, the pastries here are all done very well and extremely professionally. I'm so glad to have stumbled across this place in my neighborhood. Will be a Wednesday regular :) Favorites so far: the plain croissant (amazing!) and the breakfast savory Chaussons. But everything is spectacular, try them all!

Small shop with great bakes. Honestly reminds me more of bakeries in France. Their style of croissant is very French, not that American crackling flakey crust. But very soft, airy, great butter taste, still with some flakey-ness. Got the chocolate croissant and shrimp pastry. Very tasty. Also got the canele which was very nice. No coffee though so go next door for coffee. I'd come back.

[4/5]this place is quite small (no seating) and around the corner from a couple of cafes. i wish i grabbed a canele while i was here because i heard such good things about it. pistachio strawberry croissant 4/5: i loved the pistachio strawberry pairing (more places need to do this!) it was a delightful pairing. the croissant itself was nothing too extraordinary in comparison to other criossants that I've tried in the bay but the filling bumped up the overall rating of this.

I had a random craving for some caneles for a few weeks and was looking for a pastry shop that wasn't in the city that I could visit! Searching on Yelp, I found La Noisette Sweets and realized I walked by the shop once but it wasn't open that day. This time around, we came on a Saturday morning and it wasn't crowded. Service was quick and the staff was friendly and patient while I decide on my order. If you like French style baked goods, this is a great place to check out. The caneles flavors were great, not too sweet! I would come back just for this. Since their pastries menu changes, I would come back to try the other pastries next time. If you're looking for seating area, there's a small section of benches outside for you to sit down and enjoy your pastries.
The sweets here are incredible. Worth a visit.
