Lavande Patisserie - Rockville, Maryland

Best canele I could find around here! Crispy on the outside, sweet and soft on the inside. It was even better when I had it next morning after refrigerated. The service was really nice, too.
There is a free parking garage in the building behind for retail customers.

There is a calming friendly atmosphere here.

The flavored coffee options are wonderful and full of flavor but not overpowering or overly sweet. You also get a wonderful finish to each cup with a rich espresso flavor that is almost chocolaty.

The breakfast sandwhich options are all wonderful. Especially if you request the bacon to be softly cooked and a tomato. Very fresh and they have spongy wonderfully peppered egg.

The pastry fare Carrie’s from item to item but all of the croissants are fantastic coffee partners. The opera cakes and tarimasu are also wonderful if your looking for something with a rich creamy flavor.

Wonderful coffee shop.

I stumbled upon this coffee shop, and I couldn't believe I had never gone there before.
Cappuccino was just perfect.
They didn't have a flat white, but Cappuccino is close enough, and it was very good.
Just perfect balance of coffee and milk.
Normally, Cappuccino is a week for me, and I must ask for 2 shots of espresso, but at Lavende Patisserie, it was prepared just perfectly.
Lavender latte was very aromatic and satisfying.
Almond croissants were worth the fight.
We all wanted a piece, so my poor daughter ended up with a small bite since we ate her food 🙁 .
It was a very good pastry, warm and crispy with very mushy inside just falling apart from
We also tried mango-passion fruit dessert.
It was light and just enough sweet. Just like in Europe. Cream was fluffy and tasted like they made it. Did they?
Did not taste like a pre-made package food.
I enjoy the dessert very much.
We also had macaroons to go and maruenge.
Macaroons were ok, but maruenge just perfect!
Again, another family fight for the last piece!
I can't wait to go back and try they avocado toast.
Stay tuned.

Best carmel latte ever! I also ordered the french toast that came with strawberries and blue berries. I ordered an almond chocolate crossiant, plus their tiramisu to go. Love the soft music playing inside. I sat inside on the bar stools, but there is outside seating too. You can see the bakers making the dough through the window. Dont come late the chocolate crossiants go fast =)

Good cafe with a nice vibe and atmosphere. From coffee to desserts, presentation is top notch. You will first enjoy their artsy look before taking your first bite. 🙂

Lavender Latte was exceptional. Violet - Lavender Cake and Opera were Ok.

No street parking, but you can park in the garage under the cafe and get your ticket validated. Bon appétit!

Lovely French bakery! Been here a couple times and the food is excellent. Recommend the rose latte. The restaurant was not as clean as hoped, with food on the floors and tables, so we had to wipe down. There was also a bad smell the last time we came so we had to move to the barstools by the front to avoid.

Everything seems well made, there's plenty of space inside and even outside to sit and enjoy a pastry. However, I strongly recommend coming early in the day. The pastries were just a touch stale from sitting in the window all day by late afternoon, but you can tell they would be great fresh. I would come again, but earlier in the day to verify that hypothesis.

Lovely little patisserie with casual cafe and very fancy, authentic French pastries. Also serves breakfast, lunch, and coffee drinks. We tried five pastries, our favorites were the violet blueberry lavender cake and the raspberry pistachio croissant, heated. Parking in nearby garage, indoor and patio seating, walking distance from downtown Rockville. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming again!

My only critique is that they use what looks like a home toaster oven instead of an industrial convection oven and it takes forever and doesn't heat up the pastries enough. I had one of their croissants at another cafe that sells them and they heated up a stuffed croissant a lot and the center was gooey and delicious. Here it isn't quite as good because it's barely heated. The next time I came I asked for it to be extra heated until the center was super runny, and again it took a while and was barely warm. You could take them home and heat them up, but I want to eat them there.
