A pâtisserie (French pronunciation: [pɑtisʁi]), also known as a pasticceria[lower-alpha 1] in Italian, pastelaria in Portuguese, pastelería[lower-alpha 2] in Spanish, banketbakkerij in Dutch,[lower-alpha 3] or pastry shop in English, is a type of bakery that specializes in pastries and sweets. In French, the word pâtisserie also denotes a pastry as well as pastry-making.

While the making and selling of pastries may often be only one part of the activity of a bakery,[lower-alpha 4] in some countries pâtisserie or its equivalents are legally controlled titles which may only be used by bakeries that employ a licensed "master pastry chef" (French: maître pâtissier; Dutch: meester banketbakker; German: Konditormeister). For example, in France and Belgium, the maître pâtissier is a pastry chef who has completed a lengthy training process, typically an apprenticeship, and passed a written examination.[1]
