Dear Florence aims high and sets the type of prestigious atmosphere that Sydney hasn't really seen before in a patisserie, it would not be out of place alongside patisseries from Cyril Lignac, Claire Damon or Cedric Grolet with its aesthetic and white glove service (at least this is the case before their official opening that attentiveness is obviously there, it's yet to be tested for an everyday influx of patrons).

a good experience with such lovely service. thanks for making my birthday...
