Ciro ADAMO
★★★★★9 months agoI've been there many times because it's so inviting. You can't stop trying most of the delicious desserts. My favorite are the brioche. You can find them freshly made that are still warm. They're simple yet so delicious. The place is small and filled with that sweet smell that makes you crave something sweet. Excellent value for money. I highly recommend it.

★★★★★2 months agoBrioche was okay maybe because I got the plain sugared one. The chocolate ganache one looked amazing. Loved the Merveilleux. The pistachio one was really nutty and sweet and creamy inside. What a treat!
