I used to love the petits pains until recently. They are different, flatter and denser and not very good. The packaging was slightly altered too, but why change the product, it was so light and could be peeled by layers. But not now, just a small pile of dough.

Recently came here with a group of friends . The experience Started off a bit rocky upon entrance ,but in the end some of the staff turned it into one of the most stunning dining experiences I've had in a while . The beautiful hostess Luma is the only gal in the front that chose to acknowledge us and smiled . She sat us with the most grace and Even came back to the table and suggested some shows to see as we mentioned we were entertaining visitors . Thanks Luma !

I'm so happy Petit Pains distribute to Whole Foods!!! Best baked goods I've had my entire life!! The smell of fresh bread never gets old. They taste better after popping them in the toaster oven. Warm, moist, crispy, flaky goodness.

I can't believe they closed. Such a hidden gem just a block from my office. Couldn't the receptionist have a few baguettes? Any employees want to sell goods out of the back of their car?

I have yet to try a better cheese batard or kougan amann. This is one of my regular go-to's. If you love this bakery as much as I do, know that they plan to close their storefront as of May 1! I suggest starting a campaign to email the owner. Feel free to copy and paste my words below (if you agree) and email directly to the owner: [email protected] and [email protected] "As a loyal customer for the last two years, I was deeply disappointed to enter your storefront this morning, only to discover that you will no longer be selling your delicious baked goods to the public. It's rare to have access to such a high quality product in your own neighborhood. I'd like you to highly reconsider and keep your storefront open to the public. I recognized your brand was because I was initially acquainted with it through your storefront. It's what makes you distinctive and ingratiates you to your local constituents. Otherwise, it's just another random bakery selling their breads and pastries among the sea of others." KEEP PETITS PAINS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC....PRETTY PLEASE!

For the love of carbs and that beautiful (cheese) batard. When in the area, definitely worth a stop for the croissants, danishes, muffins, and freshly baked bread. About a dozen or so pastry offerings and a half dozen breads. Tucked away like the hidden treasure it on the other side of the freeway from downtown Millbrae, it's a great place to pick up pastries and breads, but not so great for lounging. (But maybe you could sneak your bread over to New England Lobster Market & Eatery, grab a drink, and enjoy the lovely weather at the outside tables.) Although the almond croissant is quite good, I'm still looking for a Bay Area place that bakes ones as transcendent as the Twice Baked Almond Croissant at Seattle-based Bakery Nouveau.

This review is for our visit dated Thurs., Jan 28, 2016. Getting ready for a road trip, friends and I decided to stop by at Petits Pains for some bread and pastries. We bought a loaf of olive loaf bread and Walnut/raisin bread. We also bought croissants and almond pastries. Price is reasonable. Staff was attentive and friendly. Definitely will go back to try other pastries and breads.

This is one of a small handful of foodie places tucked into odd corners in burlingame. This is an industrial bakery that supplies goods for local groceries and restaurants but it does operate a small open to the public section. It'd be a stretch to call this a bakery in the sense that most people expect as it's mostly focused on wholesale. There's seating for perhaps six people, and the coffee is a kuerig type single serve machine. Don't waste your time, money, effort and taste buds on the coffee. Instead focus on getting superior french bakery items at wholesale pricing. Roughly speaking you can get the entire line of baked goods that petits pains offers for not quite half the price of what you'd pay anywhere else. The bakery items are produced with more the the usual care. Items include the expected baguettes and croissants, but also include a range of batards along with a complex range of pastries such as kouign-amanns. As far as I'm concerned the batards especially the cheese batard on offer here is easily the best that can be found anywhere. It's hard to go wrong with pastries as well. They are more tart then the usual american donut style sweet. As if this wasn't enough they also have a "happy hour". The already fair wholesale pricing is knocked down 50% at 3 pm. Some small downsides- as noted this is located in an industrial area, parking is street only-and it's not a nice tree lined avenue with perfect sidewalks. It's exactly what you'd expect to find in a factory area by the airport. It's not a place to sit and have a latte while reading vogue. The sitting area isn't bad, but it's not meant to be a showcase. If you are anywhere close by however, this is worth a stop. Regardless of the location it produces excellent french/artisanal breads and pastries.
Excellent french bakery. As judged by a demanding French man. Baguettes, ficelles, brioche, pain de champagne. All baked í la française.

I work pretty close to here, so when I have a break I walk over for the chocolate croissants. I had a cheese batard once and that was really good. My husband really likes the baguettes CONS: - No seating - Closes early (5pm) - Weird setup: The workers are usually in the back and come to the register when someone comes in. Enter through the front doors and walk left. The first time I came here, I thought it was closed

Small store front selling their goods. Don't expect to sit down and have a cup of coffee with your pastry. Pastries are on par with other french pastries. They have an assortment of muffins, croissants, danishes, kouign amanns, brioche, morning buns, etc. The one thing that I keep coming back to is the cheese batard!! This loaf of bread is delicious and I have not found anything similar to it. It is a soft loaf bread filled with gruyere cheese and topped with gruyere cheese! One loaf will set you back $3.20. Happy hour is 3-5pm. Buy one get one half off.

This is the factory shop that deliver to grocery stores all across the bay area. If you notice at Whole Foods most of the pastries and donuts are from this place. So we decided to go to the source as we see it almost every day on our commute. Prices are a little expensive for it being a factory outlet of sorts, but the every item tastes so good and fresh. Definitely will go back here whenever i have time on my commute.

I kept seeing this bakery on the freeway on my commute every day. So one Friday morning I decided to stop by and get breakfast for my team. This is actually a small shop connected to a pastry factory. It's probably just a mini part of the factory. The staff there actually work in the back and get to see customers through a small window. The pastries them selves are very fresh and taste amazing. The chocolate croissant did lack a bit of chocolate though. I found the prices to be a bit steep (considering its attached to the factory). You'd think they would be slightly cheaper, but they are about the same as other bakeries. I would stay away from the coffee though, its just from a nexpresso machine.
