Nothing completes a meal quite like the perfect dessert. If you are searching for the best desserts in Salt Lake City, Utah, head to Les Madeleines, a French bakery where you will find the most epic selection of pastries, cookies, croissants, and more. Your sweet tooth will be thanking you the minute you walk through the door.
Les Madeleines opened its doors in 2003 by Pastry Chef Romina Rasmussen and quickly became a must-visit bakery in Salt Lake City.
The inside of this bakery is welcoming and charming in every way. But what is truly impressive is the selection of baked goods and other delicious food items on the menu.
Les Madeleines offers a small breakfast and grab-n-go lunch menu. You can enjoy items like a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich on homemade bread or a madmuffin sandwich on a homemade English muffin.
For lunch, there are a small handful of sandwiches on the menu and each are the perfect break on a busy day.

The real star of the show is the delicious baked goods on the menu. In fact, Les Madeleines was the first bakery west of the Mississippi to offer Kouign Amann.
This buttery, caramelized pastry hails from the Brittany region in France. It is made by folding the dough into multiple layers and each layer is covered in butter and a special salt from the Brittany region.
You’ll find that you constantly crave the croissants from Les Madeleines. From a plain croissant to one packed with chocolate or even passion fruit, there truly is something for every taste bud.
It is hard to choose just one item when searching for the perfect dessert at Les Madeleines and we recommend you try at least two or three delicious baked goods. Let’s face it — nobody said dessert must be limited to just one item!
