Amour

The pastries are as delicious as they look... and they look amazing. :) The raspberry rose has an almond cake & raspberry/rosewater filling with white chocolate petals, and the chocolate heart has a creme brulee/chocolate mousse/almond cake center. They both had great, balanced flavor and were just sweet enough. It took us a few minutes to start eating the dessert because we didn't want to ruin the presentation. They serve pourover Blue Bottle as well, which pairs really well with the dessert. One pastry might be enough for two to share, but it is hard resisting trying more.

My wife and I are enjoying eating tasty and hi quality pastry and we try to stay in shape, for this reason we go only to the bakeries which uses good quality ingredients. while we were living in Los Altos, we used to go to the Mayfield bakery in Palo Alto b/c they are using hi quality ingredients. When we bought a house in Los Gatos, we were so disappointed to be away from Mayfield, and we found the Amour Patisserie by accident we were so delighted to find another nice bakery in our area.The owner, Tony is a very nice person and highly skilled pastry chef who studied in Paris and the top quality restaurant around the world, he loves what he is doing and pays attention to details. We really enjoy having coffee and pastry there, and we didn't put on weight too. I admire his talent tremendously. His baristas are so friendly, patient and nice too. I have ordered Pumpkin pie to him for Thanksgiving and was one of the best pie that we ever had. So far, all of our friends who tasted the Amour's pastry admired the taste and quality of their pastry.

Serving hot or iced blue bottle coffee, tea forte teas, patisseries, pastries, cookies, and chocolates - you can have the best of ALL worlds! My favorites are the quiches, blue bottle coffee, and ginger tea. The pastries are more fascinating to look at than to eat (too sweet, same flavors), so I usually skip that for the cookies or dark chocolate with nuts and dried fruits (on gifting table).
