patisseries

Fancy pastry shops

Patisseries are shops specializing in French pastries and baked goods—éclairs, tarts, macarons, croissants.

The word also refers to the pastries themselves or the art of making them.

A patisserie differs from an ordinary bakery in its emphasis on elaborate, delicate confections: We stopped at a patisserie for coffee and a mille-feuille.
