I visited this pastry shop this morning, hoping for a quick breakfast treat, but I left feeling really disappointed, especially considering the price I paid. The seating was extremely limited, a small bar with only three cramped spots inside and just two tables outside, which felt unwelcoming in the cold. To my surprise, there’s an extra charge for dining in; for example, the almond millefeuille went from 6.30 euros to 7.06 euros if you choose to sit down. This surcharge applies to all their pastries, which felt unnecessary given the minimal and uncomfortable seating options.
The coffee didn’t help redeem the experience, with milk that was over-foamed, lacking that smooth, creamy texture I expected. The almond millefeuille, which I was looking forward to, also didn’t live up to expectations. The cream was too soft, with a strong marzipan flavor that masked any true almond taste. For the price, I was expecting a more balanced and refined pastry. The pain au chocolat was standard but not memorable, certainly not worth the premium.
Overall, while this shop might be okay for a quick takeaway, it didn’t live up to expectations for a quality pastry experience. The added charge for sitting in, combined with the uncomfortable seating, made me feel that my money was wasted. I left disappointed, feeling that the experience was far from...
Read moreI visited this bakery early in the morning for a quick breakfast treat, but it left me a bit disappointed. Seating was very limited — a small bar with just three spots inside and some tables outside, which wasn’t ideal in the cold weather. What surprised me even more was the price difference for dining in; some items went over 7 euros if you’re seated. For such basic and uncomfortable seating, the extra charge didn’t seem justified.
The coffee was another letdown, with overly foamed milk that lacked the smooth, creamy texture I was hoping for. The almond millefeuille also missed the mark. The cream was too soft and had a strong marzipan flavor that overshadowed any almond taste. Given the price, I expected something more refined. The pain au chocolat was fine but nothing special, especially for the cost.
Overall, this place might work for a quick takeaway, but it didn’t meet my expectations for a cozy or satisfying breakfast spot. The added charge for sitting in, combined with uncomfortable seating, left me feeling that the experience wasn’t...
Read moreDiscovering this patisserie was a delightful experience, offering a diverse array of impeccably crafted desserts, freshly baked pastries, and a selection of invigorating hot/cold beverages. The welcoming staff not only delivered our order to our table but also provided seat warmers, a thoughtful touch considering the chilly weather outside. The cozy interior, albeit with limited seating, exudes a charming ambiance, though securing a spot can be challenging due to its small size.
While the prices may lean slightly higher than comparable establishments, the overall experience justifies the expense in my opinion. However, I deducted one star due to the pronounced use of “artificial” almond flavor (or thats how it tastes to me) in some desserts, overshadowing the authentic taste. Personal preferences may vary, but this aspect detracted from my enjoyment.
In conclusion, despite this minor critique, our visit was thoroughly enjoyable, and we look forward to returning to explore more of the...
