The Best Napoleon in Sandy Springs
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 easy one to remember, because it is essentially a single road. Mount Vernon Highway becomes Mount Vernon Road and carries 4.9 of the 5.2 miles, so there's no interstate involved and not much to get wrong. Measured from Sandy Springs City Hall it comes out around 11 minutes on a clear run — one podcast episode, near enough.
The napoleon comes out of the pastry case rather than the kitchen, so it is ready before you are. Order as you leave Sandy Springs and it is bagged and waiting at the end of the 11-minute drive. Come early if you can — the case is fullest in the morning.
