The most heavenly macarons i have ever had in the world!!! & i have had them in Paris as well as Quebec. i wish she will make the intense chocolate again! Everything in that bakery is out of this world!!
amazing macarons and cakes but gotta get there early or else all the good stuff will be sold out. the chocolates were also good, and so were the cakes.
Cosmic experience!. All of the pastries at Sandrine's are absolutely exquisite to look at. Flavours in every pastry are well balanced, intense when they should be, fruit flavours are outstanding. Not to sweet. Croissants are tops, light and flaky, with lovely buttery taste. We are very lucky to have such a fabulous French pastry shop.
You're a fool to not like this place.
Best almond croissant I've had anywhere! If you appreciate a dedication to quality, you must try this place.
Outstanding. Sandrine is a master of her craft and it shows in her work. Every product in her store is handmade and represents what french pastry and desserts can truly be. If you dont recognize a something. ASK HER, she and the staff are friendly and happy to help you out. I bought for a wine and cheese/dessert party and was truly impressed. Well done Sandrine
Amazing. Not only was the black and white cake beautiful, it was also delicious. Satisfies any chocolate craving, so rich...and perfect. I recommend this place to any sweet lovers!

Best chocolate & service in town!. This is always one of my favourite places to go after I hit the Farmers Market. I usually get the croissants but everything is good, fresh and authentic. Their chocolate and macarons are amazing and great for any special occasion, gift or just for the hell of it. I like the pair the macarons with sparkling wines during summer and give them as gifts during the holiday season. They used to be part of La Boulangerie that was located on Lakeshore but they scaled down and moved. They used to make the best french breads and lunches but now you can only get the tarts and quiches frozen.
The service is also impecable - especially Sandrine herself. Usually, in Kelowna, the people who own specialty stores tend to be slightly stuck up but she and her staff are so accommodating and friendly.

One popular local spot is Sandrine French Pastry and Chocolate known for their high quality Parisian-style croissants and the only location in Kelowna where you can purchase macarons. Sandrine also provides decadent gourmet chocolates, colourful French pastries, gelato and ice cream cakes. Sandrine’s is an authentic French pâtisserie that is a place for you to quell your jet setting desires and sweet tooth. It’s also a place where you can bring a bit of France home for dinner with homemade tourtières, duck confit, paté and even duck fat. Both she and her husband were trained at the French Lenotre and Bellouet. I frequent S

Baking makes me nervous. There, I said it. Cooking is easier (in my mind anyway) – as I feel that you can kind of make up things as you go along – add more spice, cater to your own taste. However, I always feel that baking is strict and definitely it’s own science. You have to have everything perfect in order for some treats to come out perfectly. And unfortunately, I am clumsy, messy and a big oaf when it comes to making things look pretty. Seriously. I can’t even draw straight lines with a ruler. But for a brief moment in time, I walked into a magical cafe that made me forget that I am a clumsy, messy big oaf that can’t make things look pretty. It’s more than just a magical cafe- it’s Sandrine. Located within downtown Kelowna, this shop speaks to my soul with multicoloured macarons and rows and rows of delicious French pastries. My biggest regret was not picking up macarons for my journey home – we got to taste a couple (well, to be honest, I got to taste a lot…sorry everyone else!)
Proper, authentic French baking by French owners. Their macarons and the mille feuille stand out the most for both texture and flavor, but I've never really been disappointed here.
They also make nice coffee and have enough seating, not to mention they sell puff pastry dough and gifts you can take home.
Been a big fan of Sadrine since they opened. Their croissants and other light pastry is amazing. Today we tasted their birthday cake they made for us and everybody loved it - not overly sweet like some other stores cakes but very tasteful. Great place to grab a croissant and coffee in the morning.

Beautiful shop in town for macaroons, pastries, cakes, chocolates and everything along that! They have a cute little patio as well. Check them out!
Taste of Paris in Kelowna.
Absolutely adore this gem of a place. Photos don't even give justice to the selection of goodies, atmosphere and staff friendliness.
Thank you Sandrine for the warm welcome <3
Tried their pastry and it was really good, but chocolates were terrible. Not sure if someone could sell chocolates that bad, they tasted waxy, you could taste the oil. Fine chocolates should melt in the mouth not force you to spit it out.
Simply the BEST a croissants in North America! Worth the price, no question! Plus, they have duck in a can!!!
The moment you walk into Sandrine’s the aroma of buttered pastry is incredible. It entices you to want everything in the case. A beautiful bright space, quaint and a cozy. If you need a treat and a taste of European pastry mastery, this is the place. Prices are moderate to high, but for the quality of desserts offered I have no objection. Vraiment excellent.
The technical aspects of the macarons were pretty perfect. The flavours were fine - most were a bit too subtle for my preference, with the exception of the Lemon, Strawberry and Caramel. I wish they offered some more unique macarons other than the standard flavours. We will be going back for more and to try the chocolates, so I would still highly recommend :).
A small cute pastry shop located on Dilworth Dr. The staff was really nice and the food was delicious! The prices were not too high either. I highly recommend!
Top notch pastries and chocolates that, despite the price tag, are so worth treating yourself with! I always enjoy the macarons and croque monsieur croissants. 💖 They have pâté, pies, and and other savoury foods as well.
The staff are friendly and very knowledgable about each item, with some able to speak fluently in French.
I'm happy they opened up a patio for the warmer seasons so you can sit and enjoy your goodies in a relaxed setting.
Last, I would like to say how much my husband and I enjoyed the one-on-one class offered here! We did the 'Chocolate' course, taught by Sandrine herself. Tempering chocolate properly is not as easy as it looks! Sandrine was very patient in answering questions and making sure each group (3 groups of 2) received attention. We walked away with chocolate dipped strawberries and orange peels, ganache/truffles, almond clusters, and a massive fruit and nut bar! 😊✨🍫
Eat, sip, learn, and enjoy. I highly recommend visiting!
