Bonjour, Savannah! A New French Bakery Has Arrived!
If you’ve been craving delicious French pastries, you’re in luck! Savannah has welcomed a brand-new location of Le Café Gourmet, and it’s all set to tickle your taste buds right in the heart of Ardsley Park. The fresh and delightful bakery is now open at 1701A E. Victory Drive, making it more convenient than ever for locals to grab a treat.
Why This New Spot?
The opening has been met with much anticipation. Many residents expressed their desire for a more accessible bakery option, particularly due to parking woes and crowded conditions downtown. With this satellite location, Helen Hall, the new owner, aims to make it easier for everyone to indulge in those delightful French goodies without the hassle.
Conveniently located between a bustling Aldi and a vibrant Caribbean marketplace, the bakery is poised to become a local favorite. It’s easy to swing by after a grocery run or while exploring the shops, so why not stop in for a sweet treat?
A Taste of France Right at Your Doorstep
This new bakery isn’t just an extension; it’s a treasure trove of pastries that you won’t want to miss! From luscious pistachio croissants to the iconic handmade sourdough baguettes made with authentic French butter and flour, every bite will make you feel like you’ve traveled straight to France. The aroma wafting through the air is enough to draw you right in.
As you enjoy your pastry, don’t forget to pair it with a cup of locally roasted Cup-to-Cup Coffee. Unique signature drinks like the Willem Defoe (a scrumptious mix of caramel and hazelnut) will definitely warm your spirits as you soak in the bakery’s atmosphere.
Supporting Local
Le Café Gourmet takes pride in supporting local producers. Accompanying its baked goods, you’ll find locally sourced honey and fresh pecans made right here in Savannah. Every nibble and sip contributes to the community, making this a feel-good spot that nourishes both the body and the soul.
Expanding Horizons
Helen Hall is no stranger to the culinary world. After purchasing Le Café Gourmet from its original founders in 2022, she brings a wealth of experience from her previous catering business in Portland, Oregon. And that’s not all! The new location is on track to introduce a European-style bistro in the near future, adding even more flair to the offerings.
For now, while fresh sandwiches made downtown are transported to the Ardsley Park location, the bakery is working toward a menu that will delight patrons with made-to-order sandwiches and crêpes as well. Can anyone say yum?

Excitement in the Air
After discovering the bakery’s location—previously occupied by Scooter World—Helen and her team overcame numerous challenges, from building codes to permits, to finally get this foodie dream off the ground. The joy in the air is palpable as locals anticipate indulging in these freshly baked pastries, crêpes, and sandwiches without having to trek downtown.
Le Café Gourmet is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., so there’s a chance for everyone to visit and enjoy these French-inspired delights. Whether you’re in the mood for a morning coffee or a sweet afternoon snack, this new bakery is ready to treat Savannah locals!
