Lalla Coffee is set to debut its Epiphany galette, reimagined as a baklava-inspired pastry with pistachio, starting January 5, 2026, at its café in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. This sweet creation offers a delightful Middle Eastern twist, crafted in collaboration with pastry chef Antho Nguyen. We tried it ourselves and highly recommend it—especially if you're a true pistachio fan.

Fans of pistachio and innovative treats, here's a delightful discovery on the scene: Lalla Coffee, a charming coffee shop that opened in mid-September on Crozatier Street in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. For its inaugural Epiphany in January 2026, the venue is putting a creative twist on tradition with a Galette des Rois styled after baklava, crafted in collaboration with pastry chef Anthony Nguyen. A flavor journey between France and the Orient awaits starting January 5, 2026.

Discover this limited edition creation that steps away from the traditional frangipane path. Here, the pure butter AOP puff pastry is golden and irresistibly crispy, adorned with shards of pistachio that hint at what’s to come. Inside, you'll find a filling inspired by baklava: a generous blend of pistachio, almond, and , subtly unified with a touch of honey. This rich, melt-in-your-mouth stuffing strikes the perfect balance between French tradition and Middle Eastern influence.

What makes this King Cake truly special?

What makes this galette so appealing is its unapologetic generosity. The pistachio frangipane is intensely aromatic, while caramelized walnut pieces add that delightful crunch that sets it apart. A drizzle of honey subtly ties everything together, never overpowering the delicate flavors of the dried fruits. This pairing scores full points — sure to delight pistachio lovers: it’s hearty, flavorful, and bursting with personality.

The golden, flaky puff pastry crumbles beautifully with each bite, while the rich filling takes us straight to the delights of Middle Eastern pastries we love so much. This comforting creation truly elevates the moment of Epiphany, whether shared over a cup of Lalla coffee or enjoyed solo without delay.
