Petit Pot makes a range of French-inspired desserts.

Founded by a French pastry chef in 2014, Petit Pot set out to introduce delicious French desserts that satisfy any American sweet tooth. Since then, the company has become the fastest-growing brand of premium, organic refrigerated desserts in the U.S. Its pot de crème, riz au lait and plant-based treats are made with fresh, simple and organic ingredients that are perfectly portioned in petite glass jars. Based in Emeryville, California, Petit Pot produces and markets products in over 6,000 brick & mortar stores and e-commerce retailers across the U.S., including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Publix, Costco, Amazon Fresh and Imperfect Foods.

Petit Pot earns enthusiastic reviews for delivering rich, ultra-creamy, French‑style desserts—standouts include Dark Chocolate, Pistachio, Vanilla Bean, Rice Pudding, Crème Brûlée, and plant‑based chocolate that tastes convincingly dairy—yet feedback flags recurring drawbacks: small portions, flavor inconsistencies (pistachio/vanilla or watery rice pudding for some), and frequent comments that it’s pricey. Reviews also praise the smooth, mousse‑like texture, balanced sweetness, and charming reusable glass jars, while noting a packaging downgrade to foil‑topped jars and a desire for more flavors, especially plant‑based.

Thanks for the kind words Celine! Our rice pudding 6pks are currently being sold across Costco Bay Area, San Diego, Texas and Northeast, so grab yours today before they run out!

Thanks so much for your feedback! If you want bigger portion and more value per serving, please try our rice pudding and dark chocolate pints - now available at Whole Foods as well!


Thanks so much for giving us a try Mary! For flavors other than dark chocolate and vanilla bean, please feel free to visit your local Whole Foods and The Fresh Market. Merci!

Thanks so much for your feedback Marina! Our pistachio dessert includes organic pistachio paste & pure almond extract, and we're sorry that you found it less than ideal. We hope you'll give our other flavors a try! 

Hi Alyssa, we at Petit Pot may or may not eat more than one jar per setting =)

We're looking into creating more multi-serve options for those who want just a little more. Stay tuned!

Thanks so much for the kind words Madissen! FYI our products will be 15%+ off for Prime members at Whole Foods starting on Jan 31st. We hope you'll like this promo!

Thanks so much for your feedback Giana! Please feel free to visit your nearby Whole Foods to give our rice pudding pint (14oz) a try. Each pint contains 4 servings and is a bit more affordable than our glass jars. Enjoy!

Hi Barbara, we're so sorry that our product did not meet your expectation. Would you mind emailing us at bonjour@petitpot.com with the lot code printed on the foil, and we'll investigate further and try our best to make it up to you? Thanks so much!

Hi Julia, thanks so much for your feedback. We had quite a few customer complaints about the previous lids becoming unsealed, and that the products need to be returned or refunded. Unsealed lids also pose food safety concerns, so changing the lids was necessary for us. The foil significantly prevents leakage and tampering. The new design is also more eco-friendly. The previous lids, though much feel like metal, it's made with plastic polymer vs. our current aluminum foil. The new glass jars also use 35% less glass.

We offer BPA free reusable lids online for purchase, and there are also many ways the glass jars can be repurposed without lids as well. We're happy to send out a few lids and coupons to you if you reach out to us via bonjour@petitpot.com. Thank you again for your time and feedback!

We're so glad you like it Elyse! Our dark chocolate and vanilla bean pots de creme are always available at Sprouts if you'd like to give them a try!

Purchased the Chocolate Hazelnut from Sprouts grocery store and it's delicious and addicting! Feels like a decadent treat that I could easily eat for dessert. Noticed that flavor is not always available or well-stocked.

I love this brand because they make delicious desserts. The desserts are very expensive, but they are so rich and worth it taste-wise.

These make a great little dessert – They have a great texture and flavor! The pistachio tastes a little fake but I still really enjoy it.  The pots have aluminum lids that peel right off and then the jars don't have sticky labels so they're great for upcycling! I usually put plant cuttings in them.

Update: I tried the chocolate flavors & creme brûlées and loved the taste! The creme brûlée come with caramel sugar to melt on top which is super convenient for a quick dessert.

Really enjoyed this little treat, great rich real vanilla flavor. Would definitely buy again 🙏

I found these near the yogurt section at Whole Foods. The container was attractive. I liked that it was glass and appeared to be high quality. While I stood in front of the refrigerator case reading the bottle, another customer walked by and said, "Those are delicious! If you haven't tried them—give yourself a treat!" So I did and purchased the Vanilla Bean.

Later, I popped the jar open to sample my Petit Pot Vanilla bean. The vanilla scent wafted out of the container when I opened it up.  It tasted even better than it smelled.  I consumed two jars in about 5 minutes.  Delicious.   I liked it.   I have purchased this little jar of deliciousness on a few other occasions.  My challenge is I want to eat at least two and they are great, but a little costly.  I recommend it highly. I don't buy as often as I would like due to cost.

 I purchased this item for Thingtesting at Publix store.  It was easy to find but wish they had more flavors.  The vanilla bean was so good and very smooth consistency.   I do want to try other flavors and will keep checking what new flavors they will introduce to the market.   I do recommend.    Update, went to The Fresh Market and purchased the Creme Brulee,  loved it!  

I was looking forward to an authentic French recipe, as advertised. Unfortunately,  I was disappointed in this dessert. It was not creamy rich, more watery, and it had a weak flavor of vanilla...had more of the paper container taste. It was not the worst I've consumed in my life, as it may have just been a bad batch...thus, I will not rule this product out entirely. I will make another purchase, just to be certain. 

Pretty tasty! I like how decadent it was. It tasted so luxurious and high quality. The vanilla flavor wasn’t too plain. It is definitely a treat so I don’t see myself getting it often. 

I tried the vanilla bean flavor of petit pot. It was fresh, delicious, and creamy. I also like that these come in glass jars. 

Ok, I just wish it had more pudding like consistency, just a personal preference. It’s not too sweet. Needs more vanilla flavor. 

Love Petit Pot! The little French Pot character with the beret is very cute. Love the packaging for their items. The oatmilk taste for their chocolate flavor is so good! I have also had the crème brûlée one and the little container is a lot of fun as well! A yummy snack for dessert, unfortunately it is really hard to resist and I usually eat it before dinner! A must try! 

The Rice Pudding was 5/5 HIGHLY recommend!!! The ONLY complaint I have is the portion lol because I want MORE! They’re a little pricey but honestly worth it!!! I literally just tried the pudding about 10 minutes ago and I’m debating on eating the last one right now… I’m thoroughly satisfied! The texture and flavor was perfect!!

Petit Pot is pure dessert perfection—creamy, rich, and made with high-quality, organic ingredients. Each little jar feels indulgent and special, like a gourmet treat you’d get at a fancy restaurant. The texture is velvety smooth, and the flavors are spot-on without being overly sweet. I love the reusable glass jars too! Five stars for taste, presentation, and pure joy in every spoonful.

Petit Pot makes delicious and light desserts that feel fancy because of their packaging yet it's like a simple indulgence I can have everyday. My favorite would have to be their rice pudding. I add berries and chia to get that extra fiber. SO good! 

Petit Pot’s Pistachio Pot is my go-to treat from Natural Grocers — creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced with that true pistachio flavor. The texture feels luxurious, and the little glass jar makes it feel like a café dessert at home. It’s definitely a small, indulgent moment — more of a “slow down and savor” treat than an everyday snack — but absolutely worth it for the quality and taste.


Available at Costco super yummy! Love the mini pearls and the taste! Yummy vanilla and in fun packaging and a good price per container. I highly recommend for a nice snack during the day or the afternoon or for dessert or whenever! 

If they came in bigger jars. I realize this is an individual dessert but I found myself wanting more!  

I really enjoyed the cute packaging. They have the founders message on the inside of the packaging. The jars are also glass making it easy to reuses the jars anyway you want! They use high quality ingredients to make their dessert.  I tried the vanilla! To me it taste's just like vanilla ice cream but more rich. I would compare the texture to a custard or yogurt! The shipping was reasonable! Overall the experience was pleasant. 

They can bring back the reusable, lidded jars instead of the cheap/thin foil topped jars

Minus 1 star for the change in packaging! I added a photo they’re so nice. Bring back the lid. The new jars are thinner with a foil seal. The older jars (I have like 12 in my cabinets) came with a metal lid to make the product reusable. Perfect snack size for nuts or a container for leftover dressings.
The products themselves are very good, try the pistachio or chocolate. Both the regular and dairy free versions are lovely 

These are delicious. I sometimes get them in Costco when they are on sale. They are pretty expensive. Have tried the pistachio and rice pudding. Love that they come in glass 

Their chocolate hazelnut flavor is SO yummy. I also love to repurpose & use these jars around the house. These are a really yummy sweet treat, & its the perfect size.
