Some of the best French pastries in the city along with Vietnamese specialities. The croissants are buttery and flaky and filled to the brim with anything of your choice. They have so many different flavors, there will be something to please everyone. I highly recommend their pistachio croissants. Don't sleep on their Bahn Mis made with freshly baked baguettes! My personal favorite is the tofu one that comes with a delicious creamy sauce. The pork belly version has a huge slab of meat and it's so indulgent and delicious. Highly recommend Vietnamese coffee to accompany the food. It is decorated like a cute French bakery. It is owned by some of the nicest people and they know their regulars. I would get here early, some days they are sold out of pastries by noon. But breakfast sandwiches and Bahn Mis are usually available until close. Would definitely stop by if you're ever in the area!

if you like sweet and savory breakfast get their ham, jam, and brie croissant sandwich !!!!!! i nearly passed out from how good it is owned by sweet sweet people

The pastries at Artisan Boulanger Patissier are phenomenal. Some of the best croissants I've ever had by a long shot. They get really busy on weekends, often with a line out the door - but weekdays are less busy, typically with plenty of indoor seating available. The chocolate croissant and blueberry cheese croissants were fantastic, but in my opinion, the almond croissant is the star and an absolute must order. Looking forward to returning!

Amazing croissants, great service! Came here for a family graduation, from out of town. Friendly server, knew exactly how tea is served, and the croissants were delicious!

I came here due to @cass_andthecity's recommendation and Y'ALL. RUN DON'T WALK. However, I did walk here all the way from Fairmont and it was worth every step (8,000+ to be exact). The bacon was cooked to PERFECTION. Not too thick and not too thin. And the eggs were . I'm allergic to raw eggs so I'm always nervous about ordering a breakfast sandwich. Now is that me taking a gamble? Absolutely. But I can assure you this is worth the risk. 10/10 no notes. And an extra shout out to the nice older gentleman with the 76er's hat who took my older. You're a star

Wow, the man taking my order was ungodly nice! There are cute bistro tables inside and outside to eat at. I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant and enjoyed every bite of it. There is so much fresh baked variety, I'll have to come back and try it all. Keep in mind it's cash only but also super affordable for a nice light bite.

tl;dr skip the oft-recommended pistachio croissant in favor of this inviting, family-run bakery's more savory options Artisan Boulanger Patissier is a popular French-Vietnamese bakery, opened back in 2002 ago by husband-and-wife team Andre Chin and Amanda Eap. A Cambodian refugee, Chin escaped to France and studied cooking and baking in Paris, before he and Eap wed and moved to South Philly. Over the years, the patisserie became most well known for the nut-flavored croissants and bread leaves, earning them multiple James Beard Award nominations. The shop is built into the corner of a side-street townhouse. A maroon-and-white awning hangs over the window planters and black metal patio furniture. The inside is bright and inviting. Floral-cushioned benches are built into the window alcoves. The pastries are meticulously arranged onto ornate dishware on the white-marble display counter. The chalkboard menu and a portrait of the late Chin hang on the subway-tiled wall behind the counter. Red-and-white woven chairs are pressed up to rounded marble tables at the far end of the room. When we arrived, one of the friendly staff members gave us a quick rundown of the entire pastry lineup. Enthused by all the options, we decided to dine in and split an assortment of items: an Almond Stick (the last one!), a Pistachio Croissant, and a special Ham and Cheese Croissant. My friend's favorite item was the almond stick: long, dense, and flaky, with an even layer of semisweet almond paste. Meanwhile, my partner and I preferred the ham and Swiss croissant was drizzled with rich bechamel sauce, toasted up, and served on a porcelain dish. While slightly soggy on the inside, the exterior was flaky, and the combination of flavors was absolutely delicious. The size and flavors felt hearty enough to be a standalone breakfast. Lastly, the pistachio croissant was the only letdown -- the pine-green filling was overwhelmingly sweet and only moderately reminiscent of pistachio. The bill ran a little under $20, and we were satisfied but not stuffed. While Artisan has to compete against some superstar South Philly bakeries, it nonetheless blends quality with comfortable, neighborhood-oriented service. While I wouldn't recommend the popular pistachio croissant, be sure to snatch up a ham and cheese one the next time they are on special.

I absolutely adore this place! This is one of my top favorite bakeries in the south philly area. it is a cute little family owned french bakery with a little viet influence! they sell viet coffee and banh mis! Their croissants /sandwiches are delicious, they are fresh, soft, and flakey. Everything here is always very fresh. They rotate a few new items every couple weeks or so, but they have a huge selection of pastries. My personal favorites are the peach & cream, waffles, fruit tarts, and their croissant sandwiches. You really can't go wrong with anything you pick up from here. The bakery has plenty of seating options and the interior is super cute. Everyone working here is super nice. The place is cash only!
