Reviews
We tried the location downtown Boise at the Warehouse. The staff was super friendly. The cookie pictured looked so good - I had to have it. For a sugar cookie it was a bit dry and not as sweet as hoped, particularly with all the frosting. I'd try something different next time.
We’ve given Gaston’s a couple of tries, and it’s never up to standard. These are some of the worst pastries we’ve had. There is no way they are baked fresh in the morning, because they are never flaky, they are always cold, and there is no smell of baking bread when you go in. The Nutella pastry had hardly any Nutella, as pictured, and the Pain Au Raisin was akin to stale, doughy bread. They should stick to what they do best, which is bread, not pastries.
Came to the overland location on sunday around 1030am and was extremely disappointed. The butter and chocolate almond croissants we got were rock hard like they had been out from the day before and none of the items on the website were in store.. this place is not a "bakery" we expected definitely a weird setup.
Quite a sad experience. Tried the butter croissant and berry danish and both were not anywhere near up to par. Quite honestly, a Starbucks croissant and Danish would be more flavorful. Not at all fresh, and likely not even same day keep in mind I went at 11am. They all tasted like they were from the day before. They look better than what they actually taste.
Idk what some of these 1 star reviewers are smoking but they’re crazy. We simply love Gastons! Fresh and perfectly baked sourdough bread and delicious pastries! The almond croissant is a favorite. We stopped by their overland bakery we normally pick up from the farmers market and it’s cute and staff is friendly. Delicious!! Xo
A bit dry. And the almond croissant had the filling only on the bottom slice. Top slice was simply dry croissant. Chocolate croissant was light on chocolate and not great distribution of the chocolate that was there.
The service was great hence the 2 stars but the bread get 0 stars. The pastries were not up to par, they were very chewy, hard, and stale. The baguette was definitely not fresh either, it was hard and chewy. The sourdough and country bread were okay.
Me: monthly traveler to cities small and large, always make a point to stop into 1 or 2 French pastry shops. Loved Le Cafe de Paris back in the day because it was so ahead of its time for little ol' Boise. Here is my OPINION on Gaston's. Excellent parking, incredibly nice and helpful staff, prices are a breath of fresh air in today's economy, and arguably the best bread in town along with ACME. The bread is worth the drive across town, an easy A+!! But as a French pastry shop it's lacking. I'd give this aspect of Gaston's a solid C. If you go Saturday morning the inventory is minimal because the Farmers' Market gets most of Gaston's goods. Easy solution is drive a few minutes to the FM, but if you're like me and would rather have a root canal than go to another FM the sparse selection is a bummer. I've only been to Gaston's twice, and each time my baked good was dry and flaky. Not flaky in the best sense where it's buttery/light/airy yet heavy and substantial; eating my way deeper with each bite there's no climax. Pardon my overtness in attempt to describe what tasted almost like day-old bread. The brioche and KA were not available even an hour after opening otherwise I'd grab a bag to go. If I wouldn't have known the owner was of de Paris fame or that reviews have marketed this place as "French" it wouldn't be obvious to me. My friends told me "that's not a French bakery, it's 'just a bakery'." Whatever it truly is doesn't matter. You should go. Boise is lucky to have Gaston's. All of my OPINIONS regarding Gaston's positives would be worth another visit for the bread, but I'll get my French pastry itch scratched during travel or head to Janjou much higher prices/not always friendly/often sold out early or Sunshine Spice Cafe much higher prices, bad parking, friendly, I won't deal with their new downtown location parking.
Got the apple bear claw and swiss and ham roll. Both were ok but have had better many other places. The bear claw wasn't very flakey and a little dry.
The croissants were not good, tasted kind of stale and didn’t have that crispy layered effect that a group croissant should have. But the Marionberry scone was delicious!!
