Maple-Pecan Plait

Mini Canelé Bordeaux 

Oakland Bicycle Company Cold Brew

La PanotiQ is a French-inspired bakery that is privately ran by The Guterman family. The dessert cafe resembles local boulangeries and cafes from the streets of France.

As I walked inside Campbell's location (First Location), I noticed the delicate-made desserts behind clean & shined glass shelves. It almost looked like jewelry behind glass. Each dessert is labeled with a fancy font and a short description of what the dessert is made of. The display is neat and gives a high-end feel to them.

From the bottom-up, this cafe is clean and spotless. I didn't see any mess or crumbs anywhere. The service is wonderful and they cater to orders and answer questions. They are efficient and friendly!

The Maple-Pecan Plait is sticky and sweet. The dough is flaky with a nice golden color to it. It's pecans were sweetened and toasted like candy. The Canelé Bordeaux was almost like a mini churro size with honey color and sticky marshmallow texture. To take it all down, I ordered Oakland's Bicycle Company cold brew. This is by far, the best cold brew I've had so far; much better than Stumptown's cold brew. The brew has a maple taste to it with a caramel-type texture.

This place is my newest go-to cafe for dessert and cold brew. I definitely recommend coming here with a group of friends or even with a bf/gf and just enjoy delicious and authentic French made desserts. This cafe gives off a great intimate vibe with excellent lighting and comfortable seating! Thanks La PonotiQ!
