Les Ciseaux

Incredibly cute, quaint, and welcoming. This tiny carryout bakery feels like you're stepping into another world. They stock the shelves with artisan goods for folks with excellent taste. French knives, pour over coffee makers, and more line the shelves. The smell of their baked goods waft out of the entrance, luring you in. With limited hours, be sure to be there as the doors open to ensure you're able to get the pastries and breads that you want. We sampled a solid lineup of their goods during our recent trip and found ourselves impressed with each. Freshly brewed NC roasted coffee from counter culture is available. Incredibly fairly priced for the quality.

Simon's charming patisserie is hands down THE BEST TRADITIONAL French bakery! His croissants, baguettes, kouign amann, breads and more are utterly delicious! You can never just walk by his shop when he has his door open without stopping for something! You will NOT, I repeat will NOT find a better croissant than his in our area! In the summer time, be prepared to wait in line for the goods, if you are wanting a Saturday pastry then make sure you get there 20-30 mins before he opens. There is a limit to the pastries, but understand it is a considerate rule, as he wants everyone to be able to enjoy a goodie! And he always serves the best coffee roasted by my favorite roaster in NC, Counter Culture! Simon is charming, talented and ready to take on the town one croissant at a time! He has now a

Be ready to wait in a loooooong line for like an hour and then have them sold out of croissants and pastries by the time it's your turn. We came 20 minutes ahead of opening and it wasn't early enough. Seriously, if you want croissants or pasties, you need to be in line super early and be one of the first 5 customers. I'm giving them the stars because the baguette is phenomenal - and as a french little girl who spent kindergarten in Paris eating baguette every morning, I know. While I've never had one of their croissants or pastries because I haven't been early enough to the line, I bet they're legit, too. I don't fault the business for being popular and making an in-demand product - and they can't help that the inconsiderate Beaufort-ites let their buddies cut in line and/or buy them all

Amazing pastries! The anticipation builds from the time you take your place in line. The scent of fresh baked goodness hangs in the air on the street. You get a glimpse of of heaven through the window as you wait. You get antsy when you see the pastries that you want being placed into a bag for another customer ahead of you. You eavesdrop on the conversation from inside and the pleasantries passed cordially between patrons and staff. You step into the doorway when it's finally your turn and you walk a few steps to the window. You look over the beautifully presented selection of french pastries that line the counter, shelves, and window sill. You ask, "How many can I have?", and realize you are thinking aloud. You order way too may pastries for two people. You browse for gifts as your pas

Is this place still in business? My husband & I visited a few years ago while in town & still think about it every time we see their sticker! Such a charming little spot, amazing energy, best almond croissants we’ve ever had, definitely worth the line. A real gem! 🥐🇫🇷❤️
