Discover the story behind La Petite Boulange and our passion for authentic French baking
La Petite Boulange was founded in 2024 bringing century-old baking traditions from France to the vibrant coastal city of Alexandria, Egypt.
What began as a small corner bakery with just three signature pastries has blossomed into Alexandria's premier French bakery and café, serving a wide array of authentic French pastries and specialty coffees.
"We believe that the best things in life are made by hand, with love, and the finest ingredients. Every bite should tell a story."
Today, La Petite Boulange remains committed to the artisanal methods and quality ingredients that have made us a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.
At La Petite Boulange, our philosophy is built on these core principles that guide everything we do
We craft each item by hand using traditional French techniques passed down through generations, never cutting corners or compromising on quality.
We source the highest quality ingredients, from imported French butter to locally grown Egyptian fruits, ensuring every bite is exceptional.
We believe in creating a warm, welcoming space where people can gather, connect, and share moments of joy over delicious food and drink.
Our bakers arrive at 3 AM to begin the day's preparations, ensuring everything is freshly made each morning.
We allow our doughs to develop slowly over time, some for up to 48 hours, creating complex flavors and perfect textures.
Each pastry is shaped by hand, requiring skill and precision developed through years of practice.
We bake in small batches throughout the day to ensure you always receive the freshest possible products.
Behind every perfect croissant and delicious coffee is a team of passionate individuals who bring their expertise and love for baking to La Petite Boulange every day.
Our team includes classically trained French pastry chefs, local Egyptian bakers who have mastered traditional techniques, and baristas who are true coffee artisans.
We're proud that many of our team members have been with us since we opened our doors, creating a family atmosphere that extends to how we treat our customers.
