Definitions
A patisserie is a French-style bakery that's several levels above your average corner shop — think elaborate pastries, delicate éclairs, flaky croissants, and tarts that look almost too perfect to eat. In the UK it refers specifically to a shop selling these refined baked goods. Informally, calling something a patisserie implies a certain extra fanciness or effort, like calling a basic playlist a 'curated selection.'
