Andre's Restaurant & Confiserie Suisse

I certainly see why this restaurant has been deemed a hidden gem!  It's just cute, plain and simple.  

I love the fact that you don't have to spend much time making decisions.  With two lunch options, the choice should be pretty clear.  I went with the zucchini pie this afternoon.  Yummy goodness!  The limited options also mean your lunch is served up quickly.  You can't beat that when in a hurry

As previously mentioned, they have an array of fancy desserts, enough to send your sweet tooth into overdrive.  In addition to the bakery and restaurant, there is a small shopping area, similar to what you might find at a small corner store.  I saw dry mixes for pasta sauces, Swiss chocolate, and other assorted goodies.

What stands out the most about Andre's is the service.  The staff is super friendly and helpful.  Everyone had a smile and a kind word.  This wouldn't be in frequent rotation for me but if I'm in the mood for a surprise lunch and a scrumptious dessert, I will swing by again.

4 SOLID STARS for Delicious Pastries and Baked Goodies...  Do they used FRESH, BEST, FINEST Ingredients from Switzerland???  I sure hope so...  Hmm, curious curious curious...

2 stars for the PRICE = OUCH to my pockets...

Was here with N, on Thursday August 23rd 2012 while running errands in this part of neighborhood.  Did not notice that Andre's Restaurant & Confiserie Suisse is in GLENDALE neighborhood and how many times, I have passed by driving this area...

Decisions?  Decisions?  Decisions???

Too many pastries, DIFFICULT to choose...  Hmmm....

At least the staffs behind the counter, answers my questions about the pastries and baked goods they offer at Andre's.

From what I could recall these were what I ordered that day :

*  4 Pastries ($9.00)
*  1 Danish ($1.25)
*  1 Cookie ($1.35)

DELISH!  To the Capital D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!  I wish I could have more more more....  Perhaps one day I could convince Hubs to bring me to Andre's and purchase my BIRTHDAY CAKE, COOKIES, Pasties from Andre's in the future..

I absolutely love Andres.. It's off the beaten path so I feel like you really have to know that it's there. It's not the kind of place you stumble upon. The WORST part of this place is parking. Once you've found a spot, you're good to go. There are only 2 options but they come with a great salad and usually something like sliced tomatoes and watermelon. I love the massive dessert tray they bring out; I try something new every time. I am in my 30s and as mentioned, mostly people over 60 eat here. The other diners seem to look down on younger people eating there but the staff is always friendly and prompt.
