Their selections of French breads include: baguettes, country bread, 7-grain breads, petites and grandes boules and speciality breads like Tomato Provencal and Roasted Red Pepper. Croissants, pain au chocolat, apricot soleil and Pineapple Danish (Patrick's personal favorite) are available every day. But it is the individual pastries that take most customers breath away. There are the wonderful standards like eclairs, napoleons, fruit tarts and creme brulees, but it is Patrick's specialities that are beyond description.

In Short – "We bring France to you!" is the slogan of this pastry shop, and it's the sweet truth. The Parisian-born owners have built a sandwich counter and outdoor eatery inside the flagship Bachman's floral and garden center. Local office workers aware of the Patrick's Richfield success find a lunchtime retreat in sandwiches made with fresh French breads and baguettes, although Bachman's customers are also known to pop in for an apricot soleil or creme brulee.

most romantic ambiance ever!
by gte081h at Citysearch
i loved this place, its a cafe inside bachman's. seating is patio style inside the nursery greenhouse with serene music. the decor is breathtaking and pastry selecting so so tempting! all the food - salads, sandwiches and quiches are premade, but they are great! apparently their richfield location is larger and serves breakfast/lunch/dinner. waiting to go check it out.
- Pros: ambience

Wonderful French pastries, relaxing & unique atmosphere
by mle9101 at Citysearch
My boyfriend and I were looking for an authentic French bakery in the Twin Cities. I love nothing more than a good croissant and cup of strong coffee for breakast. But so many times pan au chocolat ends up with super-sweet chocolate filling a greasy croissant. This was not the case at Patrick's. At Patrick's the chocolate croissants were very similar to croissants I have enjoyed in France: a strip of dark chocolate in the middle of a light and flaky croissant. Perfect! Their desserts and quiches are delicious as well.
We also loved the casual and relaxed atmosphere in their unique greenhouse cafe. We were pleasantly surprised and have been back numerous times and will keep going back! I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys wonderful French bread and pastries!
- Pros: delicious pastries, great atmosphere

Trilogy Chocolate cake, Feuillantine Pralinee and Tiramisu are favorites at my house. Here's a description of Patrick's Tiramisu, by well-known food writer Dara Moskowitz: "...a glazed taupe pyramid surmounted by flat multicolored bracelet of chocolate, as though one of the rings of Saturn had come to rest on one of I.M. Pei's Louvre additions...
