La Baguette Shop

I only have experience buying retail pates from two stores but I like to think that I know a bit from being stuffed with pates at church. My usual go to is immaculee but I wanted to branch out.
The space is pretty tight with about 6 adults in the ordering area and having to maneuver around the exit. It was freezing out so the body heat was welcomed.
From the photos I thought this would be a bakery with more things on display but the glass was partially blocked by cardboard and a few samplings were placed on the counter. It looked like bon bon and hard dough bread. There’s also self serve coffee in the ordering area.
The price board is eye level and we got the dozen pates for 11.00. As of Feb. 2016 the price shows $ 1.25/pâté. Good deal for flaky deliciousness but not the cheapest around. We also got 2 drinks, I guess lemonade and tamarind. The label for EVERY drink was the same «citron» but one was clearly brown and the other light yellow. So the packaging could be more accurate. Lastly, I got a carrot cake with raisins.
Everything was tasty. Service was friendly and he made sure we knew the order of flavors in the pâté box. These were light and flaky, not super dense so more snackable. To compare, I can eat maybe 2 pates from immaculee at a time due to the slightly denser dough and super flaky, multiple layers. I could get a good 3 – 4 of la baguette’s. So these are great if you want more flavors at a time or for a party.
This would have been a 4 star I just was expecting a very bakery like, sunny and airy experience from the photos. I was excited to linger and stare longingly at Haitian baked goods. Still a good experience though for passing through quickly. I’d come again.

I don’t know where I’ve been for the past 6 years! And I live so close! I’ve been looking for a Haitian bakery for some time because most of the bakeries on Flatbush have closed down. I feel most of the bakeries I’ve known since childhood closed down. Anyway, I did a Unilocal search and walked over to this neighborhood gem New Year’s Day… and the day after! The patties are so so yummy and just the way it should be. The freshly baked bread paired so well with the soup Jonny I ate all New Year’s weekend. I also OD’d on the lime juice! I’m a Haitian girl and soooo happy I get to taste my culture every weekend morning. Tradition continues…

Man I love a family business.
I’ve been going to La Bauette since they opened their first spot near my old hood not so far away on Nostrand near Empire.
This spot has the same layout, but maybe a bit smaller. Same good food… if you get there in time!
Being a bakery and a Haitian one at that, you’ll get a french style flaky patty, not like the Irish inspired Jamaican patties in the rest of the hood. The centers are filled with either beef, saltfish, herring (smelly) or my favorite, spinach.
When they have the spinach patties (which sometimes they don’t and I want to cry) I get 3 of them. I also splurge and get the Limeade because… I like limes. The juice is always fresh and locally manufactured. I love coming here because… well, I come here a lot. It’s right by the bus and a great thing to get before yoga. They aren’t open super late, and I usually find that if I do catch them after 3 or so, they don’t have any patties I’d eat.
On holy days, like Easter, they might only make fish patties, just be warned! Oh, and the patties are a dollar! One buck!!! Get a baker’s dozen for 12!!!

This place has spoiled me rotten when it comes to Haitian patties. I work in the area and was introduced to this place by a coworker. One bite of the cod fish patty and I was sold! And that was my first experience with a Haitian patty.
Here the patties a ALWAYS fresh, warm and baked on premises. Many times I’ve walked in and they’ve been putting them in the oven. The chicken and cod fish are my favorites — they have spinach, beef & herring. The patties are always warm, buttery and flaky with just a perfect amount of filling. You also can’t beat the $ 1 price. This bakery has many authentic Haitian pastries to choose from. The bakery is small and can get crowded at different times of the day. If you’re in the area you must stop in and get at least 2 patties (1 isn’t enough). I’ve tried a few other places thinking the goodness is universal, only to be disappointed. I started at the top & have no business going elsewhere.

I am making this review short and sweet… And that’s kind of what this bakery is, it’s small and sweet. It’s a no frills kind of place don’t come in here expecting to have the carpet laid out for you. Everything is simple but delicious…
The Haitian patties here will absolutely change your life. Wow… Excuse me while I collect my thoughts. Okay… Let’s try to put in words the level of delicious these things are carrying. The first bite is a layer of a flakey buttery crust… It’s almost like a pastry, then the next layer is a soft moist dough, then you get to the core this is where the magic happens… Depending on what flavor you get! I have tried them all and the chicken is my favorite.
The chicken filling is a well seasoned and to me it compliments the delicate pastry the best! It’s such a great contrast to the buttery crust. Other flavors include cod, spinach, and herring. If you venture into this part of Brooklyn you absolutely have to have one of these treats.
Here’s a tip… Make sure you eat it directly in the bag. You don’t want to miss any of the flakes of the crust that fall off! I personally just stick my head in the bag and go for it! Don’t judge me!

If you love a good Haitian flaky pattie then come here. the patties are only 1 dollar (say it with french/​Haitian accent). Patties come in chicken, herring, cod and beef. They also had a spinach ones. Worth the dollar and buying several of them!

i Love the pâté, it’s sooo good. small bakery but so tasty, flaky, well seasoned, i love the codfish and the spinach. A must have!

The patties here are quite delicious. The crust is very flaky and not hard and dry like I have tasted in some other shops. However, that is not what draws me to visit this establishment. The secret is the OATMEAL! They have some of the best oatmeal that I have ever tasted! Unfortunately, most times, they don’t have it or its sells out early.
Cute little shop. Worth a visit.

Not a big fan of their patties, but the other baked goods are pretty good. Clean space.

Nice patties.
