PATISSERIE by Sheila Anne - Jenks, Oklahoma

Do NOT come to Patisserie unless you want to experience the best french bakery in the entire Tulsa area. NO plane ticket needed, this hidden gem is right in Jenks, a must-visit if you prefer the "finer things" of life.

Here was my experience:

Just pulling up to this cute corner shop, I could tell this find was different. From the artwork to the street-side cafe style seating, everything flaunted FRENCH.

I pulled the door open by the bakers rolling pin handle and walk in, immediately greeted. First by the bells on the door and then with a cheerful hello from inside.

A young woman with a pressed clean white bakers jacket and floppy white hat smiled from behind the counter, already drawing my attention to the eager sweets on display.

I strode past the tempting variety of authentic French confectionaries to order, but the delightful aroma of freshly baked goods I couldn't ignore. After expressing how much I enjoyed the atmosphere to the lady, she only took a few moments to serve my espresso and classic croissant.

I always order the basics first. Although the other options were mouthwatering, I prefer to evaluate the simple croissant. If a bakery nails it, I know I'll be back for the rest. If not, they are unlikely to get much else correct. This is the most important staple in my mind for a French bakery.

I smiled and thanked the young woman and started to exit when I turned and saw another woman. I knew immediately she was the owner, Sheila Anne. We exchanged a few words before I left, I had to tell her how enjoyable her bakery was.

Since my coming appointment wasn't until the end of the hour, I went to the park across the street to enjoy my pastry.

One bite, and my eyes closed involuntarily as I was transported back to culinary school, spending weeks rolling croissant dough, and this tasted like the best of my head chefs work.

Her croissant was golden brown and crunched so beautifully with each bite, the center crumb so perfectly airy, it just melted on my tongue. Buttery, light, sweet. It was over too soon.

Thank you Sheila for sharing your craft. We're lucky to have you in Oklahoma. I'll be back.

By now, I’ve tried most every sweet offering at this location and I’ve yet to be disappointed. The pastries are my favorite: flakey with just the right amount of butter, and excellent fillings! The desserts aren’t cheap but they reward with quality. Definitely recommended 🙂

I ordered a carrot cake for my hubby’s birthday and hands down the best carrot cake I’ve ever had. The prosciutto fig croissant is the best thing she bakes. The raspberry almond croissant a close second. Definitely one of those spots I tell all my friends about! I feel lucky to have this place so close.

We went today and gave it a try. I got coconut cream pie. My wife got the carrot cake. They both were very good. Two thumbs up. I recommend giving them a try. We also got cappuccinos, they were not hot, just warm. This is a take out type of bakery. There is three small tables and two chairs outside. Reminds me of Paris . Not a view of the Eifel tower though.

The place is cute but unfortunately the quality doesn't follow. Overbaked/dry eclair, underbaked and thick crusts. For the price I was expecting way better quality. ($7 for a tiny piece of quiche)
Gluten free item packaged with non gluten free items.
I would not recommend.
It seems a lot of bias reviews created a false hype for this place.

update on my review: I just saw on social medias that people are being asked to post 5 star reviews to "drown" the bad ones. That is such deplorable behavior. I see 2 new 5 stars from accounts with only a single review within 20 minutes. Quality will speak for itself

This place was great,from the atmosphere, to the food. I especially enjoyed the Apple Cinnamon and Brie Croissant. My only downside was that we weren’t told to bake the bread pudding. We started eating it after buying it and it was quite cold, and after going back in the store we were informed that we had to bake it ourselves. I would’ve appreciated knowing before we ate it, but the owner resolved to problem and gave us a new one which i really appreciate. Overall, I really liked this place and would recommend to come here and try some the pastries! Much love to the business. ^^

HOLY CROISSANTS, this place is good. We got a regular and a chocolate croissant to go. Perfectly crispy exterior with a hint of sweetness, and a flaky and buttery interior. Wow. The chocolate croissant was decadent and rich. The latte was creamy and frothy. The interior and the staff uniforms were adorable; they really transformed the place. Five stars, guys.

UPDATE: We went back a day later and my new favorite is the raspberry almond croissant. Don't let appearances fool you-- is absolutely devine.
