Unbelievable delicious!! Fresh croissants, cinnamon rolls and other pastries. The lunch menu looks good and healthy, and SERVING SOUPS made from scratch. The portions are good and will satisfy you.The owners are super lovely, attentive and very kind.Looking for GOOD COFFEE and good pastry or panini?! This is the place. And if you ask a cappuccino, let her add the bit of chocolate, it’ll be fantastic.All over is a 10/5 stars! Smells fresh and taste even better.She made a nice dessert that has not been done in 8 months. There are still some slices left (12/2/23).The picture of the dessert is in my review.

I didnt catch her name, but the lovely women who just helped us this Saturday morning was such a delight! Very friendly and chatty and was patient as my kids overwhelmingly tried to decide what to order as theyve never been there before. I, on the other hand, knew exactly what I wanted, the breakfast paninis are amazing, so much better than other fast breakfast options! Cant wait to dig into the lemon loaf we picked out for the hubby!

This place is the best! Helen is amazing and everything she does is pure magic. Taste like heaven… the bakery, sandwiches, soups, coffees… are all so good. The meatball soup is my favorite. And the cinnamon roll is so good. The bear claw amazing.. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years.

You are immediately assaulted with mouthwatering aromas as soon as you enter the door, from the savory croissants to the sweet cinnamon buns. My order was taken by a lovely woman who was extremely helpful with ideas. My body simply vanished when I took my first mouthful. The meal was amazing here! I strongly advise.

Overall most things are good here. The raspberry scone is my fave! Soft and moist, unlike most scones, and not too sweet. Only problem is she doesn’t usually have them until later in the morning for some reason. The cherry danish is terrible …. Canned cherry filling and a big chunk of solid cream cheese in the middle, not homemade or fresh tasting at all. And quite pricey. We are still trying different things to see what we like best. But these 2 items were standouts, one good and one bad.

It looks like a quirky hole in the wall, which I thought would equal good but its just ok, as well as overpriced with clutter and slow service... Really not a welcoming place. The famous cinnamon roll was no better than safeways

I ordered a couple pastries and a coffee this past week. The pastries were great, and I especially LOVED the mocha with an extra shot of espresso. It was a really strong pick me up on a tired and cold day. I will be going back. Hopefully the lunch menu opens up soon

Amazing pastries, croissants, cinnamon rolls, breakfast sandwiches, cakes, pies, cookies, coffee, everything is amazing! And Helen, what a sweetheart. This community/neighborhood is very lucky to have Helens bakery here.My favorite is the bagel breakfast sandwich and her danishes. But seriously, Ive eaten three of everything she makes and its all delicious.

I have lived in El Dorado Hills for 19 years and this is the best bakery I have been to besides some in Paris.... Literally. I go here at least 3 times a week to get the breakfast panini, oat raspberry muffin, low fat blueberry muffin or all three at once. There is more than just baked goods here too... the sandwiches are to die for as well as the pasta salad that comes with it. Please, do yourself a favor and try any of the aforementioned items.It feels like a small town bakery with very fresh and local ingredients. I wonderful departure from nasty, over-preserved, service-less Starbucks across the street. I was afraid that Starbucks would take away from Chateaus clientele but it seems that delicious and fresh food has prevailed!Best bakery in the greater Sacramento area. Helen makes fresh baked goods with a Parisian/Armenian flare (hence the arme in the name). Great service, great food, great atmosphere.Was this review …?

This is a long standing bakery in El Dorado Hills. I havent ordered a cake here but can rate the pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and bread. The bearclaws are my favorite and they have excellent scones, raspberry is my favorite. There breakfast sandwiches are good but not great. Bread is also very good and has that fresh baked flavor. Coffee is ok but I usually have mine already and dont like espresso drinks so I havent tried those.

It would be nice if businesses would update their online hours and online menus. If you say you serve sandwiches on your website and you dont, then you should probably update your information. I went in expecting to order a sandwich but couldnt. Barely had anything at all. Makes you wonder what the business actually is......

This is my favorite place to eat in El Dorado Hills. They have the best scones and muffins I have ever tasted. Everything is made that day and is as fresh as possible. They have the best sandwiches and baked bread. If you are anywhere near El Dorado Hills it is worth the drive to visit this place.

Muffin was okay. Cappuccino was the worst Ive ever had, and made incorrectly. I asked for dry and it certainly was not. The milk tasted awful... I dont know if it was sour or what. Just awful. Maybe their drip is decent, but this is not at all for the coffee connoisseur. Id sooner go to Starbucks.On the plus side, some people near me are eating sandwiches that look good.Better options for probably everything they serve here, within a block of here... Unless you want a GIANT COOKIE!

Memories took me to this place again. Enjoy their pastries and cakes. Almond croissant is the best! This place reminds me quaint bakeries I used to enjoy in Holland so many years ago at a small town of Deventer. Freshly made bread, cakes and pastures the locals enjoy.

The bread and pastries are awesome. Worth the trip. Small inside so big parties might take up the whole place. Good for small parties or take out. Service was polite and quick. I have family who have been going here for several years and it has always been a consistent good experience.

Severely overrated.iced in el dorado hills for 4 years and been a few times but service is terrible. Owner is the rudest person I’ve dealt with and could care less if she loses customers. Asked for a new latte because employee made it wrong, she argued with me and said that’s how it is and basically said she doesn’t care if we don’t come back. Good food, terrible coffee. Should give 0 stars.

Baked goods are delicious and decadent. Baked in the store fresh daily. Flavored coffees are better than Starbuck. Helen, the French proprietor, is the real thing

Posted in Folsom Telegraph Nov 6, 2013As early as 3:30 every morning, the aroma of freshly baked pastries and breads and coffee wafts through the air at the Bakerie & Latte Chateau Arme on Francisco Drive in El Dorado Hills. For 20 years, owner Helen Rostami’s day begins hours before her customers begin to stream into the bakery for a scone and coffee before work and ends 11 hours later. The motto of her bakery is “Experience the Difference.”What’s the reason you started the restaurant?I opened this restaurant 20 years ago because after I took quite a bit of time off from my previous job when I had breast cancer, I couldn’t go back to it but wanted to continue baking. When I opened the place, I was the only bakery and coffee house in the area.Does the name “Chateau Arme” mean something?The word “chateau” is French for house and Arme comes from Armenian as I was born in Armenia and moved here in 1990. Together, the words mean “Armenian House.”What were you doing earlier?I worked for Cliff House of Folsom for four years and was the pastry chef. Prior to that I worked for hotels and restaurants for many years in Minneapolis, one of which was the Whitney Hotel where Michael Jackson and the president of Russia stayed when I was working there.What formal job training have you had?None. All my training has been on the job. When I was a little girl I used to bake a lot with my aunt.What sets your bakery apart from your competition?People know the difference. Nothing here is artificial. I use high quality ingredients. We just started serving breakfast on the weekends and have a choice of eight varieties of coffees. Our breads for our sandwiches are baked here and I make a different soup daily. We have Flavor Burst ice cream which is very popular. People call this place a home away from home.What is your biggest seller?The scones, cinnamon and caramel pecan rolls and wheat bread are all very popular. We have eight different varieties of scones, five different cookies and both regular and low-fat muffins. Over Christmas, we will have the Yule logs which the customers love.What do you like most about your job?I’m my own boss and can set my own schedule. My customers make me want to get up in the morning. They love what I do and make me love what I do. The customers are turning out to be a big family for me. I see many of the same people on a daily basis. I have the biggest family anyone can have and I really enjoy that.Have you won any awards?I’ve only entered one competition in El Dorado Hills. My dessert won the competition in 1993. Style Magazine readers also chose my place this year as the best bakery in the area.Have you taken any time off from work?I work 11 hours a day seven days a week. In 20 years, I haven’t had a vacation. My last vacation was to Hawaii. The only time I take off is when I’m sick or need to take care of my husband. Two years ago, he had open heart surgery. When I’m off, my daughter manages the place.What are you happiest about?I’m happy with everything that’s going well and my business is growing. I’m in a good state of my mind. I’ve gone through cancer twice – breast cancer 20 years ago and uterine cancer four years ago – but am healthy now. I’m happy to see that my kids are doing well, too.What causes are you passionate about?I donate to Mayo Clinic. I also help the homeless in Sacramento by giving what’s left of my baked goods that haven’t sold. Pastors from Folsom pick up the food from here. Every year, I donate food for the fire fighters wine tasting event.Tell us about your family.I got married when I was 19. I have a son and daughter. My daughter helps me here and is a good baker. My son works for SMUD. I’ve got five grandchildren from ages 5 through 18.If you weren’t baking, what would you be doing?I used to sew and design dresses including bridal dresses. I love to sew but don’t have time now.
