A new take in the Napoleon with all the aesthetic in the pastry!
The Napoleon is usually layer upon layer and this one is almost modernized with that open concept feel. The pastry is in a hard u shape and then lined with the creams and pastes.
The shell was flaky and the creams and pastes were super smooth. The combined bite of both worked so well with the crispy of the shell melding with the creamy of the creams.
They also have madeleines which are so soft! Nice firm outer exterior but the inside part of the cake was just making me wanna eat them all day!
They don’t have a huge selection but enough to make anyone happy and with what they have, it’s just really good!
It can be a little pricey, but totally worth the money imo. Something different and a new take on an old favourite. I know I loved napoleons before, but these I could totally love more!
Service was great too! Super friendly staff and quick to help you out with your order.
Great job overall!

Read moreCute little pastry shop that offers Napoleons and Madeleines. They also have a selection of cold and hot drinks as well as hot pressed sandwiches.
I grabbed the sesame and strawberry Napoleon as well as the golden matcha Madeleine for the pastry, and I grabbed a sesame latte and coconut flat white.
They don't add sugar to anything which is nice as I enjoy things that are not too sweet.
The Napoleon was nothing too special for the taste, I did enjoy that it was still flaky. I didn't taste much of either flavour which was a bit disappointing. I was looking at the pistachio one as well so maybe I'll try that next time.
The Madeleine was surprising as I really tasted the matcha in it, enjoyed this one more than the other.
The sesame latte was also just okay, couldn't taste the flavour as much as I expected but the coconut flat white was nice. It does get a bit sweet though, probably from the coconut milk.
The service is okay, had to call for them but other than that, the staff was explaining...

What I got: Coconut Pineapple Napoleon
Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed the Napoleon and think that the U shape design is really smart as it allows you to get the perfect bite in every bite and don't have to worry about the mess of multiple flakey layers as you do in a traditional Napoleon.
The Napoleons are also kept chilled so I'd recommend eating it immediately if possible or refrigerating for a while before eating if you take it to go. The chilled creme made for a refreshing treat on a summer day
For the price, I'm not sure if I'd get the Napoleon again but perhaps I'd return to try their madeleines that look like better value for the price and are...
