About Sandrine French Pastry and Chocolate
Pastry work starts early and finishes when the case is empty, which is why the advice for any bakery is the same: go in the morning. Sandrine French Pastry and Chocolate is at 1865 Dilworth Drive, on the flat below the hillside streets that climb Dilworth Mountain, a straightforward stop for anyone crossing the middle of the city.
A shop combining pastry and chocolate is really running two crafts under one roof. The pastry side generally has to be made fresh and sold within the day, while the chocolate side keeps longer and tends to carry extra weight around the winter and spring holidays. Special orders are the thing to plan around at a shop like this: custom cakes and larger orders for an event generally want notice measured in days rather than hours, and details like flavour, size and any allergy substitution are best settled at the time of ordering rather than at pickup.
Two practical notes for this valley. Summer heat is unkind to chocolate and to delicate pastry work alike, so keep the drive home short or bring a cooler through July and August. And weekend mornings are the busiest stretch anywhere in the trade, so if you want a particular item rather than whatever is left, phone 250-860-1202 ahead and ask for it to be set aside.
