Le Croissant

Honestly, this is really really The best Pateso of the world. Don’t hesitate anymore, come on guys, eating its

The pâté chaud is sooooooo good!!! I came in last minute and didn’t pre order on thanksgiving day. The lady was so sweet and sold me a dozen anyways. The place is a little hard to find but I found it. The croissants were very good too. They have full size and mini ones.

Tastiest Pâté Chaud I have had very flavorful. The filling is not mushy but yet juicy. Just make sure to call in for availability for walk in.

My friend ordered a bunch of pâté chaud from this bakery and gave me 6 to take home. We kept them in the fridge and heated them up and they were still good two weeks after! The outside is nice and flaky and the meat inside is well seasoned. I am interested in going there to check out what other yummy baked good they have available.

Le croissant is the number one bakery in the Bay Area! Fresh, delicious croissants, pâté cheud, and French bread. If you go there early like 6 AM in the morning, you can get fresh out of the oven bread. So warm, slightly crunchy, soft inside, and soooo delicious! by seven or 7:30 AM, there will be no more fresh bread or croissants for sell if you come late. I would recommend that you preorder ahead if you want to order a large amount for party and such. :)))

Wow, this place is yummy! The pastry was light and flaky just how I like it. The meat was very tasteful with the right spices, but more importantly was the great service I received from Frank himself. I had to put together a last minute gathering and Frank was there to save the day. This was a last minute order and he whipped it up with no problems. Thank you Frank for putting up with my craziness! A great product with great service!!! What else can you ask for? Thank you again Frank!!!

This is really good and worth it because its like not too oily!!! Their pastry dough is perfect so it doesnt crumb all the way nor is it too thick. I only eat chicken so usually patesos with chicken is harder to taste good but they do it really well for a cheap price too !!!

When I first heard about Pâté Chaud, I thought maybe it was related to the decadent spreadable paste that most are familiar. A more apt description is the French translation of «hot pastry pie.»
The Vietnamese version is actually called banh pâté so and translates into Vietnamese savory puff pastry. Whatever you want to call them, they are among the tastiest and delicious puff pastries that you’re going to find around.
If you’ve ever had a roasted pork or curry puff pastry at places like Sheng Kee Bakery, Paris Baguette, or Kee Wah Bakery, prepare yourself for a completely differently animal.
Unlike those dry, overly crumbly outer puff crusts filled with overcooked and dry meat fillings, the pâté chaud made here are completely opposite. Available in either savory pork or chicken filling, the puff pasties are characterized by buttery, soft, and flakey crusts filled with truly moist and flavorful fillings. It’s a toss up on whether the chicken or pork is better, but at prices of ~$ 0.80 each, you can splurge and try many of each.
As some reviewers have shared, Le Croissant actually isn’t a typical bakery or restaurant. It’s located in an industrial area adjacent to several auto repair shops (be sure to look for door #7), but is a bakery warehouse that specializes in wholesale orders. They bake the pastries (pâté chaud as well as croissants) fresh daily and ship them wholesale to places around the Bay Area where you probably buy them if you’re a fan of pâté chaud.
While they specialize in bulk wholesale orders, they happily do party tray orders with advance notice and you can drop by during their early business hours if you simply want to try a half dozen freshly made ones yourself.
With such stellar pricing, it’s great to know the pastries are the real deal. They were a hit at our party with everyone asking where they were bought from and what little leftovers we had tasted great the next day baked in the toaster oven for a few minutes.
Le Croissant is cash only.

mmm pâté chaud. If you ever want to try them, make sure you call in ~day before to order, or else they will sell out/​ship it all out early in the morning! They offer a pork and chicken variety here, among other bread items (baguettes, croissants, etc). I really enjoyed my pâté chaud; It was not overly buttery/​oily and they a nice size, not too big and not too small, perfect for snacking. Along with the delicious pastry, I will be coming back because of the fantastic pricing. Pâté chauds at your usual fast food joint go for more than a dollar a piece. Here the pastries are ~0.75 ea, so I ordered 10 for only $ 8!
This place is located in one of those random auto garages, building number 7! I wasnt sure how restricted parking is; I just chose a spot and grabbed my goodies quickly.
I think this place would be awesome if you need catering or simply bringing something to a potluck; it’s not your typical Vietnamese dish, the prices are good, and it’s tasty!

Located on Umbarger Rd, it’s a little hard to find unless you know what you’re looking for. It’s an area that looks like a bunch of warehouses. And actually, Le Croissant is a bakery warehouse that is open very early in the morning and closes early too. So if you’re looking for fresh bread or pastries, make sure that you go early. My family tends to buy baguettes and croissants from them. I love that I know they are freshly made everyday so if I want bread, I can just walk over in the morning to buy some.
The baguette tastes just like any other Vietnamese baguette. The croissant is really good, and the outer part is crispy when you stick it into the oven to heat it up a little. It is a little different from the croissants we’re used to. Instead of a flaky outer layer, this croissant has a more bread like consistence. Still, very good. I would definitely recommend trying the pastries here.

Best. Pâté chaud. Ever.
This isn’t your typical bakery, deli, or restaurant. Actually it’s neither of those things. They do their business via wholesale, which means they ship out a ton of of baked goods to several bakeries in the local area early in the morning. They stay up all night baking, send out the food, and close up at around 11 AM-​12 PM, which means you have to order the beforehand, and arrange a time to pick it up by that morning. I believe the majority of their business is done via large wholesale orders, and I don’t even think they do pick-​up orders very often. Still, if you can make the effort, I highly suggest checking them out. They are located in a remote storage area and surrounded by several auto-​mechanic shops so it may take a while to locate.
I’ve only ever ordered the pâté chaud here, but it’s seriously the best I have ever had. I always brought a ton back with me when I went to college. It’s especially so good when you pick it up and it come straight from the oven, and I think it’s even better than the ones I had in France. The consistency and flavor of the meat is great, and I drool just thinking about the flaky pastry crust. It’s $ 0.70 per pastry, which is a good price compared to picking it up from the bakery.
Also, the ladies here are so nice! They’re usually very tired by the time you meet them but they always take the extra effort to be kind and give you good customer service.
