The Best Napoleon in Brookhaven
Crisp, golden layers of house-made puff pastry stacked with silky vanilla crème pâtissière and dusted with sugar, the European classic (mille-feuille), done properly. Delicate, buttery, and never too sweet.
Why ours is worth the trip
Classic European patisserie: properly laminated, with the delicate shatter that makes a Napoleon such a favorite. It is the hardest thing on the counter to get right, and it goes soft if it waits, so it doesn't wait.
A slice of Napoleon with an espresso or cappuccino is an afternoon well spent.

The drive from Brookhaven

- Brookhaven City Hall
The longest of the three runs, and the one worth a little planning. From Brookhaven City Hall on Peachtree Road it's about 7.9 miles: up onto Peachtree Boulevard, then west across Tilly Mill Road, which lands near 15 minutes when the road is clear. Far enough that ordering before you set off genuinely changes the trip rather than saving you thirty seconds.
The napoleon comes out of the pastry case rather than the kitchen, so it is ready before you are. Order as you leave Brookhaven and it is bagged and waiting at the end of the 15-minute drive. Come early if you can — the case is fullest in the morning.
