Patisserie LA Cigogne

What is Patisserie LA Cigogne? Patisserie LA Cigogne is a traditional Alsatian French bakery and patisserie established on Bayview Avenue in Leaside. Led by French master pastry chef Thierry Schmitt, the shop pays homage to the culinary heritage of Alsace with traditional pastries, handcrafted chocolates, artisanal breads, and savory baked goods. With its inviting cafe seating and showcase of intricate entremets, the bakery has anchored the Bayview Leaside corridor for decades.

Patisserie LA Cigogne Menu & What to Order The signature confection is the St. Eve, a decadent gluten-friendly creation made with a crisp almond sponge base, roasted hazelnut buttercream, and rich dark chocolate ganache. Traditionalists flock here for the croissant aux amandes, loaded with rich almond cream and baked until golden brown. For chocolate lovers, the multi-layered opera cake offers an espresso-soaked almond sponge with dark chocolate glaze. Savory options include freshly baked quiche Lorraine, warm baguettes, and seasonal Quebec-style tourtière pies.
