L'Algeroise French Patisserie
7.7
A French pastry counter with a deep display case and a reliable coffee rhythm that rewards early visits. Gluten-free diners do best by asking what’s available that day—cakes and select pastries rotate—then choosing one dessert lane rather than trying to sample everything.
