Random Coconut Cake of the Week

Coconut Cake from LeGourmet Pastry

At the recommendation of a reader (hi, Stephy!), I made a trip out to Le Gourmet Pastry in Bartlett this afternoon. I came back with this awesome coconut cake. I loved the layers of light, creamy custard on circles of spongy cake, topped with shredded coconut. It's way more delicate than I thought it would be.

I also picked up some pistachio merengues, which were delicious, but impossible to eat without making a huge, powdery mess.

Le Gourmet is a full French bakery - they've got all sorts of pastries, bread, rolls and quiches. There are a few tables in the small shop, and they have a daily lunch special.

I LOVE their breads and pastries. Their bread & baguettes are almost as good as La Baguette on Poplar.

This place is no longer at this location. Did they move? This is a great blog not only locals, but visitors as well. I've been using it to supplement suggestions on The design sponge blog.

Hi Tara, I think they may have closed after I wrote the post. If you're looking for coconut cake, you might try it at Bardog Tavern or Beauty Shop. Also - I'm glad you like the blog. Thank you!
