Mimosa Patisserie — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

The hidden away, low profile shop situate on the ground floor in a long corridor running through a residential building connect two streets, they offers a good variety of cakes and dessert.

The Napoleon being their signature, in variations of chocolate, mango and strawberries, they are equally fabulous depending your own preference, they are freshly made to order therefore not on display in the refrigerated cabinet.

They start selling the napoleon at 12noon, I usually go around 2pm to avoid the queue.

Go with your friends and give them a try, you’d not...

After going through the google reviews, I have some tips for everyone who’s going to this overweening and notorious patisserie. (Very important) make sure you have the order list in your mind. Enter the shop and don't make any eye contact with the owner and don’t ask them any questions if possible. Just say how many mango or strawberry napoleon without saying thank you or ng koi. Pay, wait and don’t even try to talk with them. They are better talking to themselves...

Their Napoleon's is great. They use a very thin layer of icing or white chocolate to keep the pastry crisp and fresh. Mango seems to be a bestseller here but I think it's a bit too sweet. I recommend the classic strawberry Napoleon, since the tart strawberry's balance the sweetness of the creme anglaise very well. Be sure to order politely and succinctly so you don't suffer the wrath...
