Been going here for years when the original owner had the business. The pastries were phenomenal and tasted just like those I savored back in France. New owners dont do the same. Pastries are okay, but nowhere near tasting like authentic French pastries. I tried really hard to like them but they keep falling short. Sad to say I wont be going back. This used to be where we purchased breakfast for 8 every Sat and where I snuck in a strawberry tart and almond croissant after my workout. Guess I'll save the calories at least. Good while it lasted.

This prominent pastry shop offered beverages and fresh crepes as well. I got a cranberry white chocolate mousse, a distinctive combination and an indulgence. The pistachio croissant I took with me was quite sweet for pistachio, but good when eaten alone. The limitations of French cuisine for those with special dietary needs are typical, but for others there is plenty worth trying.

I had the most amazing croissant of my life I went in on Sunday afternoon and the place was busy, they have a few tables, a crepe station, and rare books. It has a light and airy feel to it. The service was wonderful and they had a great selection even late in the day. I am so excited to come and dine in soon.

All the pastries tastes like heaven!!! I had 4 petites: key lime pie, pecan pie, peach tart, chocolat tart. I enjoyed every one of them especially the pecan and chocolat tart, they melted like a sweet bomb in your mouth. So good so tasty! All I can say is “oh la la!”

Came here for lunch mid workday. The cafe is cute and the case of pastries is impressive! I decided to go for crepes, one savory and one sweet. It was definitely way too much food and i regretted finishing it, but it was delicious! I would prob come back for just the sweet crepe bc the savory ham and cheese (la complete) was a bit monotonous despite being tasty. It would be good to share it though! Will def be back to try some of the French pastries, looked just like a show case in Paris!

Great service and good food but the hot chocolate and raspberry danish were sublime!!
Fantastic, true French pastry. (Note: This review was with the original owner. I don't think it's the same since she left.)

So glad I stumbled upon Colette French Pastry Cafe when visiting Alpharetta. We needed a caffeine fix, and a French bakery is generally a good bet for a decent treat to go along with it. The interior is very cozy with French (and more specifically Paris) theming and decor. They have one side with shelves of books that had a nice library type feel to it. The French music is a lovely touch as it let us escape to Paris for at least a little while as we enjoyed our drinks. They offer a French breakfast and even have Orangina on offer which is one of the more typical drink offerings you'll find at cafes in France. For drinks, we ordered a latte and a mocha...both were a solid 4.5/5, being strong, smooth, and robust, without being too sweet. It's recommended to get there early as they do run out of pastry and bakery items later in the morning. They had run out of the chocolate croissant we wanted to try, so we wound up going with the carrot cake (4/5). It wasn't as moist as I generally like carrot cake to be, but it was typical of European baking style, and I liked that it wasn't too sugary. The employees were all very engaging and friendly. Since Yelp doesn't allow half stars, I don't mind rounding up from 4.5 for my rating since we really enjoyed the ambiance and overall experience.

Cozy French bakery. I went there specifically to try their kouign amann. It was delicious! The employee was very courteous and service was attentive. Of course we tried other pastries which were also worth repeat visits. Parking was fine at just before 10 AM but could get challenging at other times.

Not that much sweet, but their cakes and pies have good flavors. I will definitely come back here.
