Petite Thuet

What is Petite Thuet? Anchoring the corner at 181A Carlaw Avenue just north of Queen Street East, Petite Thuet & Co. is chef Marc Thuet’s expanded Leslieville flagship, pairing a classic French boulangerie-café with an upstairs homewares and décor shop. The street-level space features display cases loaded with fresh viennoiserie, artisan bread shelves, pantry freezers, and a sunny sidewalk patio overlooking Carlaw.

Petite Thuet Menu & What to Order The counter is anchored by heritage bakes, including multi-day fermented Alsatian sourdough loaves, crackling baguettes, and flaky almond croissants filled with rich frangipane. For lunch, grab a classic jambon-beurre on crusty baguette, a béchamel-layered croque monsieur on tender pain au lait, or a warm made-to-order breakfast sandwich. Balance an espresso or café au lait with a slice of quiche Lorraine or a glossy miroir chocolate ganache tart, and browse the freezer case for take-home beef bourguignon.

Know Before You Go Service is counter-order and walk-in only, with lines building quickly on Saturday and Sunday mornings during the neighbourhood stroll. Transit access is seamless via the 501 Queen streetcar to Carlaw Avenue, with street parking scattered throughout the surrounding residential streets. The bakery opens daily at 7:30 a.m. for morning pastry runs, extending service until 7:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
